Show FEED CALF SEPARATED MILK Whols Wheat or Graham Flour Mush Takes Place of Crsam Eliminates Elimi-nates Danger of Scours. ' In feeding calves, separated milk sometimes should be given to take the place of the cream taken out of milk. Make a mush of graham or whole wheat flour and add to the skim milk and the calves win do as well as on whole milk. A pint of flour will make a feed for three or four calves, says a writer In Farm Progress. Take boiling water and stir flour Into It the same as you would make mush of meal, being careful to not have it laropy, so It will mil well with milk when added to it Give the calf new milk the first week or until the mother's milk is fit to ose, then begin to add some skim milk with a tittle of the mash added. Decrease the new milk and Increase skim milk and mush till ealf Is about three weeks old. when yon can teed all skim milk and mush. Calves fed in this way are not so liable to have scours as when they are fed on corn meal, as the cooked wheat is good for troubles of that kind In calves. Care should be taken to not overfeed over-feed calves, as that sometimes causes trouble with hand-fed calves. Tbey should also have a nice green pasture to run in in summer, or If In winter, have some kind of bright sweet hay to pick at, as they soon learn to eat such feed If tbey can get It |
