BLATCHFORD'S CALF MEAL 



05 



THE BEST WAY TO RAISE A CALF WITH LITTLE OR NO MILK 



Feeding' Directions —For very young calves, let the calf run with the cow for three days, then feed it 

 the mother's milk from a bucket for two days more — three pints of milk three times a day. In this way it 

 gets all of the cow's first milk (colostrum), and this will clean the bowels and start the digestive organs of the 

 calf properly. After the fifth day from birth, take two tablespoonfuls of Blatchford's Calf Meal, add hot water 

 and stir this into a thick paste, free from lumps. Then add one quart of whole milk and one quart 

 of separator milk, stir thoroughly and feed blood-warm. This amount should be fed three times a 

 day. Continue this, gradually substituting separator milk for the whole milk. Full feeding direc- 

 tions for young and old calves are printed on a card and will be found in every bag. These 

 directions will serve as a general guide. Calves vary so much in size, strength and digestive 

 capacity that much must be left to the discretion of the feeder. We have discontinued the pub- 

 lication of a minutely detailed feeding table, having found that it is apt to be too rigidly 

 followed. Even some of the higher authorities connected with the agricultural work in this 

 country make this error. The objects to be attained in feeding calves are rapid growth, 

 health and quality. To obtain these calves require Blatchford's Calf Meal ; clean housing ; 

 clean feeding utensils: plenty of sunlight; regularitv in time of feeding; and, above all, 

 not to be overfed. Overfeeding causes acidity of the stomach — bloating or pot-gut — a dull, 

 lazy condition instead of energy and playfulness. Don't overfeed ! Darkness and gloom 

 beget disease, destroy cheerfulness and materially lessen growth. Therefore it is important 

 that calves be placed in well-lighted stalls. 



» DOUBLED FARM PROFITS 



Maturing or vealing all your calves rap- 

 idly on Blatchford's Calf Meal, at a cost of about one-fifth of what you get for 

 your milk, then selling all the milk at a good profit, should appeal to you and to 

 every wide-awake farmer as a good, profitable proposition. These profits, both ways, 

 need not be guessed at ; they are discernible at a glance. Another source of profit 

 that heretofore has been overlooked by most farmers is the raising of the fall and 

 winter calf on this same milk-substitute. Many farmers and dairymen have taken 

 up winter dairying, reaping the extra big profits on milk and cream during the winter 

 months, but often the calf has been immediately "murdered." Calves raised during 

 the winter give you veal during the term of high prices and are just as easily 

 raised then as during the summer. Fall "freshening" is greatly to be desired. With 

 the help of the silo or an abundance of alfalfa hay the winter feeding keeps up the 

 milk supply until the new grass comes in the spring. The new pastures stimulate the 

 milk-flow and keep it up through the summer. The winter milk prices more than 

 offset the cost. When you stop to consider that this complete milk substitute costs 

 you less than skim milk and is far better for calf-raising — made expressly for the 

 calf — you will get some idea of its high efficiency. It is made from several kinds of 

 whole grains and seeds, and includes oil, sugar and albuminous compounds, pur-j 

 locust-bean meal and pure flaxseed ground, with the oil left in. Yon cannot begin to 

 SzZ results from any other method of calf-raising that you can get from feeding 

 Blatchford's Calf Meal, the complete milk equal.

Avoid Costly Methods of Feeding 



FROM NOW ON USE 



RYDE'S CREAM CALF MEAL 



Richest Substitute for Milk. 

 WHAT THIS WONDERFUL CALF MEAL IS. 



It is a combination of oleaginous and leguminous 

 seeds and lentils, flour, flaxseed, carob beans, cocoa meal, 

 etc., combined in the correct proportion that long ex- 

 perience has shown to be just what is required by young 

 calves to promote a thrifty bodily growth. All hulls, 

 fiber and indigestible matter is carefully removed to 

 avoid danger of scouring and the whole is thoroughly 

 cooked by special process, rendering it very easy to 

 digest and assimilate. Our larga factory is devoted ex 

 clusively to making Calf Meal. 



WHY RYDE'S CREAM CALF MEAL IS BETTER 

 THAN GRAIN OR MILL FEED. 



Experience shows that only one or two kinds of feed 

 do not contain the variety of elements necessary to de- 

 velop the component part of the calves. Some feeds or 

 grains contain a predominance of flesh-forming material 

 others contain a bone or muscle-forming material. When 

 fed alone this gives a one-side ration and one portion of 

 the body is developed to the detriment of the other. 

 In addition, grains and mill feed contain a considerable 

 portion of fiber and indigestible matter which when fed 

 particularly to very young calves usually cause more 

 or less scouring.

SAL-VET 



Tile Great The Great 



Worm Destroyer. Live Stock Conditioner. 



SAL-VET is a medicated salt — a safe, simple, inexpensive remedy 

 which gives stock the medicines they need along with the salt they 

 crave. It requires no dosing, no drenching, no starving. It goes 

 into the stomach and intestines and loosens the leach-like hold 

 these blood-sucking parasites have on the tender linings. It drives 

 the robbers out — without bother or trouble to you. Your animals 

 eat SAL-VET in place of common salt and thus doctor themselves. 



PROTECT YOUR HERD AGAiNST DISEASE. 



Don't pay the frightful price of worm neglect. Don't wait until 

 cholera breaks out in your neighborhood. Fortify your stock 

 against disease. Get rid of the blood-sucking, disease-breeding 

 worms now. Put every animal on your farm in a healthy worm- 

 free condition so they can get more good of what they eat — gain 

 faster — make you more money. 



A SINGLE WORM-INFESTED HOG IN YOUR HERD IS 

 A CONTINUAL MENACE TO YOUR HOG PROFITS. 



It is the worm-infested, half-starved animals that spread the 

 deadly worm curse over your farm. They are disease-breeders 

 and disease-carriers of the worst kind. Helpless themselves to 

 resist contagion, they let down the bars to the cholera scourge 

 and death stalks through your herd. They are the danger spots 

 in every herd.
