Show IMPROVED BREEDING SYSTEM Fall and Winter Calves Develop Into Much More Desirable Cows Than Thoa Born In Summer. (Hy M. CLINTON.) If one will plan to have the calves come at all leaaona. the fall and winter win-ter calves escape the torture of the extreme summer heat and the swarming, swarm-ing, pestering die. For this reason the fall and winter calve develop Into much more desirable de-sirable cows for the dairy than the summer calve. Where all the calves are dropped In the spring It a big job to caro for and handle all of them while they are ' young- If a short space of time Intervenes between the coming of en eh calf there will be little time lost In attending attend-ing to each one during Its early career when It la the moNt trouble and more susceptible to some derangement derange-ment If slighted. Then, having some heavy milkers at all times Is a profitable plan. This all the-year around dairying I what brings In the steady Income, which will be especially welcome In the dead . of winter when the price of dairy products soar skyward. It will also prove a great convenience conven-ience In supplying for the kitchen and table those most necessary articles so often missing in winter: Milk, cream and butter. Another big advantage to be derived de-rived from having the cows freshen at different season of the year 1 that of avoiding the handling of calve and almost all the dairy products at a time when the farmer ought to be In the field planting or cultivating hi crop Although winter hai It drawback a a dairy season, so has summer, and certain It I that the farmer ha so little, else to claim his attention In tbe winter that bo can well afford to man- age so that port of the herd will be yielding their most satisfactory amount of dairy product at this time, thus furnishing him with profitable employment at an usually Idle season. |
