Methods With Dairy Heifers Regular and Careful Feeding Essential A. C. Page, University of Missouri, College of No animal can make good growth and the best development with ir- regular attention and insufficient or improper feed. This is especially true of the dairy heifer. The dairy cow is an animal which carries a very great load of work, and she must have a strong constitution. If she has not an excellent digestion, strong lungs, and good circulation, she can never stand up to the burden. of producing very much milk. There- fore, the heffer which is to develop into the mature cow needs careful | It is essential that she| attention. have the best opportunity possible to develop and become strong. Agriculture. not supplied, the growth will be stunted. Clover, hay, alfalfa, cowpea hay, ofl meal, oats—these feeds con- tain the muscle and bone building elements. "Some of these feeds are absolutely necessary for the growing heifer. With good alfalfa hay, the heifer will need only small amounts of grain, But this should be given regularly. Shelter of some kind should be pro- vided to keep the growing animals out of severe weather. Open air and sunshine and cold are all good, but in severe weather the animals should have a place to keep dry and warm.

The scrub never pays: any- body, and is of very little use in the world. What are the things necessary to produce a good dairy, cow from a heifer calf? First, the calf must have | the right kind of blood in its veins. It should be one selected from a cow ! that produced well, and from a pure- bred bull of ‘good producing ancestry. The fact that the sire was registered is not enough. The actual milk records are what count, and they prove that there | are sometimes registered scrubs. Regular feeding and careful feed- ing come next, A heifer that picks up a living here and there around the farm, and receives corn fodder more or less regularly, is not likely to make the best growth. The growing | animal must have the kind of feed care at this time, the more likelihood of good results following. With dairy animals kindness and quiet handling is always the rule. Pet- ting and fondling the young animals is condemned by some experienced dairymen, as they say it makes “breaking in” difficult. But rough, exciting methods are entirely out of place, After calving, the heifer may be fed lightly for a day or two, and her feed gradually increased as the fever goes down and her appetite increases, Indifferent methods always bring indifferent results, especially in dairy- ing. The reason the dairy cow gives more milk than the wild cow is that she has been cultivated by careful men. Her natural tendency {s to stop giving milk as soon as her calf is raised. The task of the farmer is to keep her milking for a longer time, that builds bone and muscle, and if) by fed and care. anne eee 0 OOOeoeueeeeeeeeaeaeaeaeas*—m>r OOmrmrmeremem——m=—=—™~>9.
