REARING THE CALF.
CARE IN FEEDING. While the Calf is young it has not the power to make use of any largo quantity of roughage, and muC, therefore, be fed on concentrated foods largely, as in the case of the pig. On the other hand, the most likely way of developing the calf at a maximum rate is to feed it plenty of milk supplemented by concentrated feeds together •with what hay and other rough feeds it will naturally learn to take as it grows older, from having it constantly available. The feeding practice should be such as to carry the calf along from calfhood to maturity without a setback.
