CALVING.
Copts to “come in” soon should be watched, and the udder bathed with cold water on the first appearance of heat or hardness. If any trouble with the udder occurs at calving, it is best to let the calf nurse—otherwise remove the offspring at once, and feed it by hand. The importance of raising calves from superior cows only cannot be 100 strongly enforced. By a constant selection of the best the dairy may bo greatly improved. It is not wejl to turn the cattle out to grass at the first appearance of green in the pastures. The change from dry hay to green food should be a gradual one.
