There was a time when the typical Missourt furmer laughed at the {dea of ratsing calves {n any other than the natural way. However, recently the high price of land has made tt impossible for auy profit to be made ratsing calves in the good old way. Farmers who have tigured carefully on this proposition have concluded that when land gets above $50 an acre 1t becomes impossible to keep a cow for the chance of a calf. Ten years ago there were but few farmers paying any attention to the sale of milk or cream, Now. there are fully 30,000 {n Missourl that are count- ing on this as a part of their income, Chese farmers are mostly selling cream for buttermaking purposes, and ralsing the calf by hand. There was # time when {t was thought that acall ratsed on skim milk must neces- sarily be stunted in size, unthrifty in appearance and one that a respecta- ble fartier would not wish to have on his place, It ts well understood now by most farmers that are selling cream that such calves are entirely unnecessary andsin fact are not fenused by feeding of skim milk, but {from carelessness and ignorance re- | garding proper methods of f eding,’ ‘Phe-man who proposes to raise fealves on skim milk must, firet ofall, |ges the idea out of his mind that |such calves are necessartly unthrifty, iHe must not be satiefied with his 'work until he {s able to ratse a calf ‘in this manner that !s good as one | raised by !ts mother. The feeding of jthe calf by hand should begin at least within three days after its birth. Some prefer to take the calf away from {ts mother before {t has nursed and begin feeding by hand at once, Others prefer to leave the calf with the cow from two to four days. They should not be allowed to run longer than that on account of the fact that the older the calf {s, the harder {¢ 1s to teach {t to drink from & bucket, and the more the mother {se disturbed when {t¢ is removed. The calf should be placed out of the sight of the mother and allowed to pars over one feeding period before an attempt is made to teach it to drink. I¢ {8 practically useless to at- tempt to get a calf to drink unles it {s hungry. No special difficulty is experienced in getting the calf to drinkfrom a pail. The veual method {s to allow the calf to suck the finger for a short time until {¢ will keep its nose in the pall itself. The milk fed should be fresh milk from the moth- er fed before it has time to cool. The calf need not be fed more than twice a day, although it 1s somewhat bet- jter if convenient to feed it three at reasonable prices, considering | times.
