FEEDING FUNDAMENTAL! (I)

This is the last article in a series of five concerning the Nutrient Factors need for the use of Dairy cattle. In the previouslarticlea we commenced by a consideration of Rumlnanl: Digestion, (allowed by a discussion on Proteins, Fats, Carbo- hydf3I.C8, Water and Minerals. In this article we will deal with Vita- mins and Horomonea as Nutrient. Factors.

VIITAMINB. During the past 25 years no phase of nutrition has re- ceived more attention than vita- mins. Progress has been rapid, but our present knowledge of vitamins is still fair from complete. For thirteen vitamins, fairly definite chemlOII compositions and struc- tures have already been determin- ed, The actual daily amount of a ritamin required by an animal is rxtremely small - in some in- stances an amount too small to 595 with the naked eye. Yet the role of each vitamin is essential for life.

This discussion will be limited primarily to those vitamins likely 1.. be deficient in dairy rations.

VITAMIN A. Ths vitamin is es- sential for growth, reproduction, pa.-aistency of milk production and the efficient use of several minerals and other vitamins. A severe de-

ficiency causes night blindness, eye iiisorders and a low reaistence to fold! and infections.

Vitamin A occurs in plants as carotene or provltamin A, which animals are able to convert into vitamin A. Rich sources are green pgsture, well-preserved silage. green, leafy hay. and cod liver oil. Carotene and vitamin A are read- ily destroyed in materials exposed to sunlight or stored at warm tem-

peratures. Alfalfa and other plants dried without exposure to sunlight

give us one of our richest sources.

Skim milk, bleached hays. dried- gruitis, with the exception of yellow corn are

up pasture and all

very low in Vitamin A.

A Vitamin A deficiency is likely to occur in calves fed largely on skimmilk or on -whole milk from pnwa fed on a low Vitamin A. ration. It may also occur in preg-

nant cows fed bleached and poor

quality roughage, particularly dur- ing the last few months of the winter feeding period. The most evident effect this is the birth of

ucak or premature calves.

V1TA.M.I.N D is necessary for pro- snd Phos- phorus in bone growth. The well- known condition of rickets may be reused by insufficient Vitamin D. fnlclum or Phosphorus. The first mnptom is a crooked or humped back with a drop in the top line just back of the" shoulders. More severe cases develop bowed legs and

with the opening of the school year. parents must regret the div! gone forever when school subjects and school methods seemed fixed once and for all and no aoul-eearch- ing question had to meet some solution. ,

One such question ls,lmpllcit in the stand taken by an important superintendent of Canadian schools as reported over the radio last week. This is a eompetetlve world, said the superintendent, and the sooner the child learns it, the bet- ter. Hence. the examination system would continue in his schools he said. though mental health experts didn't spvrove.

This school superintendent. dldi not advocate examinations as an aid to learning subject. matter, or character building. or what not- Mm.

-bluntly he stated that the child must become aware as quickly as possible that he was born into a competitive world. Perhaps he is right. Perhaps the best of the modern schools that attempt to in- stil cooperation rather than com- petition are wrong. Perhaps the new ways of encouraging the child. patiently and kindly to compete with and improve on his own past performance rather than to try to get a head of his classmates is an unrealistic approach to life as it la-and obviously is expected to remain. Competition, or coopera- tion. or competition that permits the generous practice of coopera- tion, which shall be the governing principle in our schools?

And If It is to be competition, and the sooner the better, how

soon! shall we let Johnny grab and keep Tommy's rattle? shall we tyrant ol the nursery who bites and scratches and breaks the toys of his weaker drieighboursf O 0

There are deep and fundamental problems and plenty of other troub- ling questions that confront the conscientious parents and school authorities. For parents who would like some help in thinking through the answers. the "Encyclopedia of Educational Research," published by Macmillan, New York, 1951, of- fers an extensive body of the most authorative studies in education.

For example sooner or later the importance of Latin and Mathe- matics will be urged because they train the mind and develop the judgment and so forth. In the Encylopedia we find there is no evidence "to support the theory that the mind is made up of such general faculties as reason. imagina- tion snd memory which like mus- cles are capable of being strength- ened by exercise Instead there ap- pear to be innumerable reactions and techniques that usually must

be acquired an by one!

Or. does the feeling still par- sist that the present generation is sllplhod in its spoken and writ- ten English because formal Eng- lish grammar isn't taught as in- tenaively as in years by? If the innumerable studies made can be trusted, "a. knowledge of formal English grammar appears to have little beneficial effect. on the abil- ity to speak or write good mig- um...

Does strict discipline in the class- room lead to good behavior in other places? It is pointed out that me rigid discipline on board a ship, or in army barracks, hardly insures good behavior when the men are on lelvel Do courses i.n hygiene lead to health, and courses in civics to good citizenship? In short, is it true, as many believe, that prac- ties follows precept? scientific methods of research indicate that you can get "ideas about health" from a textbook course in hygiene. but not health, and by the same token good citizenship can never

be acquired through books and lee-

turas on no sea... s-

It is well for the peace d nihd of parents and school authorities that they are only partly lemons- ible for the education of the child. The church. the club. t.he entire community are involved and every- thing that happens in the world beyond.
