FARMERS' COLUMN.

MANAGEMENT OP IN-CALF CO^S The calving season ntv-r fails to bring with it more or less anxiety for stock-ownera. The uneasiness is not so great, and need not be, when thu cows are m good condition, but, the professional farmer has always young stook coming up wiih maternal strainB falling on them for the first time. And it is not always po3*ib'e to keep up the condition of the older ft males, however desirahlc, except at great expense, so that i he winicr and spring months of the year are invariably somewhat precarious on farui3 where stock breeding is carrier] on to an extensile scale. It should not be forgotten that farmers can do much to lightcu their anxieties at this time. A little exceptional cite on ihe part o{ the herdsman— which should be firmly inculcated by the master— will go a long way m obviating parturient mißhaps. These are liable to occur from various causes. It is bad economy to continue draining milk fnin the cdw all the while intervening htr periorlß of calving. Ten months m a year at moBtia long enough to milk cows ihit are kept mainly for breeding. With purely deiry tiowa the case is slightly different, for tho simp'.e reason that the owner places little or no value upon the calf. But where a good calf is the object, it is well that the cow should be dry two or three months, m order to concentrate her productive powers m developing the fcetue. Wo have known, cows that would Buffer more than they would benefit from any attempt »t "drying" them. That, of course/ is the exception, not the rule* If they refuse to withhold from tho pail, m spite of a diminished diet and intentionally neglected milking, another course of treat ment will need to be followed. A cow can nob be expected to supply much milk during the latter end of the period of gestation withoub impoverishing her resources m breeding. It will, therefore, be necessary to enrich h«r rations as nearly as possible m proportion to the amount of nourishment extracted from the body through the lactile veins- English authorities suggest from 2 to 3 lb. of cake per day. But cake is not available m these colonies, and it would be dangerous to give her cake m much greater quantity, as such often causes the death of the oalf. This may increase her show of milk ; still, with keeping a vigilant eye on the udder, twice a day is often enough to milk hen Bat tho udder must not be allowed to ''lump" or harden. Such frequently reßultsin permanent malforma tion. It is not a good plan to confine in-calf cows to the house. They should not be left out long at a time, but they should have daily exercise. This invariably proves of gceai service when the critical moment arrives. It is pretty much the same with cows as it is with in-foal mares — remember how they benefit from being kept m harneea till labour is at hand. Cows that have plenty of outdoor exercise will, m nine cases out of ten require no assistance m calving. Then the utmost care should be exercised m feeding. If the cow ib dried a couple of months or more before calving, the the food should not be very rich ; good wholesome oat straw and pulped roots, with perhaps (m the event of the cow being m rather lean condition) a small allowance of ground oats, with a sprinkling of bran. But unwholesome food is extremely objection able* A small supply of roots, i c., map golds or turnips, may be given up to . the date of calving. But they must ba fresh ; frosted roots are not good for any animal, and especially dangerous for in-calf cows. The food and feeding oi a cow have a more direct bearing upon the results at calving than anything al-e. Much, disappointment and misfortune may arise from mismanagement, and only skilled judicious hands should be entrustsd wilh the care of breeding stcck. Ab the cow approaches her time of calving —say within a day or two of her time I—she1 — she should, if possible, be removed from " the common herd " and placed quietly m a stall or loose-box. Isolation ia desirable for more reaeonß than one. It keeps the cow herself unmolested and free of bad smells, which have been known to work havoc, while it precludes the possibility of any of the other animals becoming excited, and perhap3 aborting, through contact with the cow m calving. The loose ; hox is, of course, the mosb convenient place to hive tho cow. It ia ajso the moct serviceable. The animal can ajways have a litt'c exercise if loose. In any case, she should be kept c!ein, quiet, and comfortable. If tied up, the stall should be loug enough, and raised a little Vchiod) as the date arrives or as the cow shows signs of parturition* it, is important to see that " ealving-down " cows have plenty of dry bedding under them iyefc, if it J9 not frequently shaken up 1 y a fork, it may become caked un.l uncomforiable. Somo competent person should be at hand whon the critical moment arrives. Ducing the whole of tho season iho herdsmin should, sleep as near to the "calving house' »s possible, lest the birth should occur d using night. At the came tin c he should not apply artificial help too soon. If all is well, relief is eeldom required, and vh*feit is unriccesaory it is aUo uuodvisablc. Skilful preparatory treatment will, m tlia majority of cases, enable ihn cow. toaeeomphah the wjrk unaided. She will get ail the easier through her troubles, should her allowance of bran (m the form oi mashes) be iucreased during the. last two or three days of impregnation, A drink consisting of Epsom salts', say 12cz, together with £oz of powdered ginger, and 1 gill of treacle, m a 4«arfc of thin gruel, may also be given with advantage.
