O: — ^Ir. Campbell: — Ever used dried blood? 



A : — Blood meal, a tablespoonful in the skim milk. 



Q : — Not bothered with scours since using dried blood ? 



A : — To tell you the truth we are not bothered much any- 

 way. The average farmer that is raising cattle has a great deal 

 of trouble with that disease. I simply said that if we ever had 

 that trouble that was the remedy we prescribed. 



Q : — Not any trouble since using that, have you ? 



A : — Not any in the herd at all since using that. We are 

 not subject to it anyway. 



Q : — The gentleman spoke of a tube calf feeder. How do 

 you clean it? 



A: — Clean it the same as any other utensil. No trouble 

 with them. 



Q: — Do you use any special brand of calf feeder? 



A : — We have been using ever since raising calves small calf 

 feeders. 



Q : — How long do you use that ? 



A: — Six weeks to two months, or three months; some- 

 where in there. It all depends on how well the calf is doing. 



Q: — Do they use that readily themselves? 



A : — They will take to it readily and soon learn to eat them- 

 selves.

 average gain of 110 pounds. Did that come from breeding or 

 difference in feeding? 



A : — The gain has been in connection with our learning to 

 feed and breed the calves. A better grade of cows and better 

 milk than we had ten years ago. Our manner of feeding has 

 improved along with the manner of breeding,
