Feeding a Heifer Calf 
Will you outline the care and feeding 
of a Holstein heifer calf, right from the 
start to maturity? We usually fatten 
our calves, but want to raise this one. 
We always turn the cow in twice a day 
and let the calf take its fill, then milk the 
cow dry when the calf is through. In 
six to eight weeks they are in prime con¬ 
dition for the butcher. Should we leave 
this calf with its mother the same length 
of time? When is it ready to change to 
skim-milk and bucket feedings? How 
soon and what grain mixture should she 
have? Shall she be kept in a box stall 
all this season or staked out later? How 
long should she get milk? We have more 
than we need and no market for it, so 
want the calf to have it as long and as 
much as she needs to make the best 
growth. We keep two cows for our own 
use and through an error both have 
freshened near the same time, so it seems 
a good time to be starting to raise a heifer 
for our own use. mrs. r. p. l. 
Pennsylvania. 
There is nothing more useful in feeding 
calves than whole milk. Usually dairy¬ 
men cannot afford to use whole milk, 
claiming that a calf fed this product 
would eat its head off regularly every 
three weeks. If you have an abundance 
of this fluid and no market for the sur¬ 
plus, you would he justified in allowing 
this Holstein heifer calf that you want to 
raise generous amounts of this product. 
Personally, I prefer hand feeding to the 
morning and night nursing practice. I 
believe that milk cows do better when 
milked rather than when calves are per¬ 
mitted to nurse. I realize, however, that 
in the production of veal there are many 
advantages in letting calves suck cows, 
for usually they will take more milk and 
it is believed that calves do better where 
this system is adopted. I would advise 
taking the calf from the cow when it is 
four or five days old and feeding it from 
the bucket three times a day. I should 
continue the use of new milk until the 
calf was four or five weeks old, then I 
should gradually replace the new milk 
with skim-milk, taking, let us say. 10 
days to make the transfer. The calf then 
would be getting a full feed of skim-milk 
when six weeks old. I should use as a 
supplement to the milk some one of the 
specially prepared calf meals. In addi¬ 
tion I should provide a dry grain ration 
consisting of three parts of cornmeal, 
three parts of ground oats, three parts of 
bran and one part of oilmeal. Keep this 
mixture before the calf at all times, al¬ 
though making it a practice to have it lick 
up its feed box clean each day. I should 
continue the feeding of skim-milk until 
the calf was six months old and provided 
it is taking kindly to the grain ration, it 
will be an easier matter to wean it from 
the milk at this time. You should not, be 
satisfied with a gain of less than 1 or l 1 /? 
lbs. per day during this six months pe¬ 
riod. The amount of grain that a calf 
eats regularly each day is a pretty good 
index to his thrift and vigor. I should 
keep before the calf at all times some 
clover or Alfalfa hay or some leafy le¬ 
gume in order that a sufficient amount of 
ash and mineral matter might be pro¬ 
vided. Outside of the question of exer¬ 
cise the calf will do quite as well in a 
well-bedded box stall as it will in an out¬ 
side paddock or pasture lot. Until the 
calves are six months old they get very 
little actual nutriment from nibbling 
away at pasture grass. Clean utensils 
are absolutely necessary. Over-feeding of 
skim-milk invites 'more ills than under¬ 
feeding. and after the calves’ habits have 
been well regulated to a given amount of 
grain and a given amount of skim-milk 
(not to exceed 1G or 20 lbs.) I should 
hold the amount of skim-milk provided 
each day quite constant. In most dairy 
sections it is very generally believed that 
it is more economical to produce heifer 
calves to supplement the herd than it is 
to buy mature cows from the dealei*. Very 
frequently all of the milk is sold to the 
creamery or bottling station and there is 
no skim-milk available for calf feeding. 
Under these conditions by far the most 
satisfactory procedure is to use some 
one of the popular brands of prepared 
calf meal. The main thing is to keep the 
calf growing and gaining from day to 
day, to avoid over-feeding and to make 
sure that the youngsters are generously 
supplied with roughages and concentrates 
that are well proportioned and completely 
balanced. 
Summer Feed for Cows 
I have three Holstein cows, and would 
like to have a balanced feed ration for 
the Summer. I am feeding at present 12 
lbs. gluten and 1 lb. middlings; besides 
the above, nothing but grass. For later, 
when grass dies down, I have a field of 
green oats. N. R. 
Phillipsport, N. Y. 
The ration that you are feeding your 
three Holstein cows will not produce for 
you the most satisfactory results. The 
addition of cornmeal to the mixture would 
be advantageous, and even then more 
varietv would add to its usefulness. Us¬ 
ually middlings are relatively high priced 
for use in rations intended for dairy cows. 
You are acting wisely in feeding these 
cows generously with mixed feed during 
the pasture season. The present con¬ 
dition of the dairy industry offers no in¬ 
centive for the dairy farmer to feed his 
animals so as to produce maximum pro¬ 
duction. Relatively low prices prevail, 
and the demand for his product is more 
or less restricted. Many of the conden- 
series are not operating, and the outlook 
is not especially encouraging. I take it, 
however, that with only three cows you 
are not producing market milk. If the 
cows come off grass and go into Win¬ 
ter quarters in good vigor and flesh they 
will continue their flow of milk very prob¬ 
ably throughout the Winter. On the 
other hand, if they are improperly fed 
during the Summer, they are more apt to 
dry off and slacken their flow of milk 
when the fly season is at its height, and 
when they are brought into Winter quar¬ 
ters their flow of milk will undoubtedly 
be even further restricted. It is quite as 
important to feed the dairy cow gener¬ 
ously during her dry period as it is to feed 
her generously during_ her lactation pe¬ 
riod. Once she gets thin iu flesh and run 
down in condition, it takes a long time to 
build up her system. Energy conserved 
is much more economical than energy re¬ 
stored. hence the importance of feeding 
farm animals intelligently throughout the 
year.

What is the right feed for pigs from 
six weeks old until they will dress 125 
to 150 lbs., the quickest feed to get this 
weight? What is the right feed to be 
fed a brood sow, also after she has far¬ 
rowed until the pigs are six or seven 
weeks old V e. w. K. 
Warren Co., N. Y. 
Usually the best results iu feeding pigs 
are obtained from allowing their mother 
all of the grain feed that she will eat 
with relish from the time the pigs are 
three weeks old until they are weaned, 
during the seventh or eighth week. The 
youngsters themselves will commence nib¬ 
bling away at dry feed, or will sup away 
at palatable moistened feeds when three 
or four weeks old. If the sows are al¬ 
lowed the run of the pasture lot rather 
than confined in small pens the best re¬ 
will follow. Close confinement in 
yards invite parasites and indiges- 
which usually result in stunted pigs 
expensive gains. 
You do not state whether you have any 
home-grown products to utilize or not. 
In case you have ear or shelled corn, the 
addition of S per cent of the tankage and 
20 per cent of red dog flour will suffice. 
Hominy meal has substantially the same 
feeding value as cornmeal. and is very 
palatable for young pigs. If mixed with 
wheat middlings and digester tankage in 
the proportions of six, three and one a 
useful combination will result. Skim- 
milk or buttermilk would improve either 
ration. Fortunately it is possible to buy 
a number of approved brands of ready- 
mixed feeds prepared especially for use 
in swine feeding, and well suited for pigs 
of various ages. In many cases they 
combine such protein carriers as tankage, 
dried buttermillc. corn germ meal and 
peanut meal, with available carbohydrate 
products especially adapted for producing 
rapid growth and economical gains. In 
fact, these products are rapidly gaining a 
foothold among the breeders in the corn 
belt, who find that variety is an essential 
qualification for the daily ration for 
pigs. 
The feed supply for young pigs should 
not he vastly different from that fed to 
the nursing dam. Make sure that a gen¬ 
erous amount is provided and that the 
feeds themselves are selected from a num¬ 
ber of different grain products. The so- 
called corn balancers will provide protein 
most economically, and when the various 
feeds are fed as directed by the manu¬ 
facturer profitable results are sure to fol¬ 
low. It is very important that young 
pigs be forced along from weaning age to 
maturity, and usually it is possible to 
obtain a gain in excess of 1 lb. per day. 
If home-grown products are used it will 
be possible to combine corn, oats, white 
middlings and tankage into a very at¬ 
tractive mixture. If prepared feeds are 
utilized they can be fed either through 
the agency of the self-feeder or can be 
mixed into a thick mash moistened to 
about the consistency of buttermilk. 
Youngsters intended for local market 
should be given all of the feed that they 
will clean up with relish two or three 
times daily, and in addition they should 
be supplied with a mineral mixture, as 
for example, a combination consisting of 
equal parts of salt, charcoal, bonemeal, 
ground limestone and sulphur. If the 
pigs are confined in dry lots, then the use 
of Alfalfa meal or clover leaves is recom¬ 
mended.
