BLATCHFORD^S CALF MEAL 



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



reeding- 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 tablespooufuls 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 \yhole 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 ; regularity in time of feeding ; and, above all,, 

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

 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. 



DOUBZiED FABia 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, pure 

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

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

 Blatchford's Calf Meal, the complete milk equal.

LABORATORY TESTS SHOWING THE POWER OF B-K TO KILL VARIOUS KINDS OF DISEASE GERMS. 



T'yPHOIU TEST. — Dilution used: One part B-K to 1,500 parts water. Killed Bacillus typhosus at once. 



STREPTOCOCC'U'S TEST. — Dilution used: One part B-K to 700 parts water. Killed Streptococcu.s at once. 



D"SrSENTEH.IAE TEST. — ^Dilution used: One part B-K to 1,000 parts water. Killed Bacillus dysenteriae at once. 



COLON BACIIiIiUS TEST. — Dilution used: One part B-K to 1,200 part.s water. Killed B. coli at once. 



STBENGTH OP B-K COMPAKED "WITH OTHER DISINFECTANTS. 



The tests below show B-K to be many times more effective than Carbolic Acid, Formalin. Cresol, etc., in the destruction of 

 such germs as Typhoid, Streptococcus, Dysenteriae, etc., even when B-K is used much diluted. It is much stronger than Cresol 

 which is one of the strongest of the many coal-tar derivatives, and therefore, the superiority of B-K as a disinfectant is ob- 

 vious both as to efficiency in results and low cost to use.

Organism used: B. coli. 

 Time of action: two minutes. 



B-K Dilution: 1 part to 1,800 parts water. Germs Killed. 



Phenol CCarbolic Acid) — Dilution: 1 part to 80 parts water. 

 Germs not killed. 



Formalin — ^Dilution: 1 part to 125 parts water. Germs not 

 killed. 



Cresol — ^Dilution: 1 part to 200 parts water. Germs not 

 killed. 



Phenol, Formalin and Cresol did not kill the germs, though 

 exposed for two minutes. B-K did kill them because it is 

 many times stronger. Yet, the others are poisons, while B-K 

 is not a poison.
