Prevent Losses Calf scours or White scours is an acute. infectious disease of new born calves occurring the flrlt few days of life. ft is more prevalent during the fall and winter months in stsbled calves. The predominant symptom is a white diarrhoea but affected animals are soon prostrlte iLlll.l once established the infection will spread to older calves. scours are caused by 881'!!! which are commonly present in stable manure and litter. These gums gain entrance. either orally or through the open navel of the rail. There is no doubt now but that a deficiency of vitamin A is one of the important contribut- ing factors to the disease, Im- pro r feeding, failure to supply the if with colostrum. and un- notary feeding practices are all contributing factors. The calf is normal at birth but within ii few days develops a. thin. wafery. white-tinged diarrhoea- 'r:ie disease is severe and the ani- mal becomes weak and depressed. math soon follows. Once est- ablished the infection. will spread to older calves. novention and Treatment Prevention is the greatest factor it! ths,controi of calf seours. l. Provide the pregnant Animal with a proper diet. The calf re- ceives "from the colostrum great szuantitlss of vitamin A. The con- dllion of a newborn animal rests entirely upon the condition of the mother. 2. Provide a clean maternity stall. It should be yarm. dry and free of droughts and ,should llinrolighly cleansed and disinfec before the cow is put into it. 3. At birth disinfect the navel of the calf with tincture of iodine or some suitable disinfectant. 4. The calf must receive the cclnsti-um milk. This is most im- patient. It supplies the necessary ninount of vitamin A as well as antibodies or disease-preventing lotto-'5. Then follow a recognised Wdinx schedule for the raising Of young calves. 5. Be scrupulously clean with all feeding utensils used in feeding the calf. If the animal shows an inclination to eat straw or litter ii. is best to muzzle it. Bontn re- commend the use of ei muzzle as a routine procedure to prevent the ingestion of foreign material, 'l'- fitment is not very satisfac- lnnv Unless administered at the on- lrt of the disease. Once the disease nccurs great care must be taken to Drevent its spread to other calves in the barn. At the first signs of the dipsase contact your District ORS ii) STOP 41.") D Oliii ii.- li.

It usually follows a mild course, but fatal- ities do occur. The onset is sudden; one or two animals are noticed to be securing and soon 5096 or even the entire herd are affected. There is a thin, watery. sometimes blood-tinged diarrhoea. The, animals loose their appetite and there is a sharp re- duction of milk production. Affect- ed animals will often become gaunt. Those animals which show blood-tinged diarrhoea should re- ceive prompt medicinal treatment. If hay is being fed it is some- quality straw for two or three days, sometimes this change in diet will help to shorten the course of the disease. Care Of The Cream Separator Cream separators require careful attention. if left unwashed, the Bacteria present may multiply to enormous numbers and these will contaminate the cream of the next separating. This is one of the chief reasons for poor quality crea . For best results, the separator must be thoroughly washed and sanitized after each use. Less than 5 minutes are required to complete the task if these directions are followed. '1. As soon as the milk has drain- ed from the supply tank, rinse the tank with a cupful of warm water. 2. Next pour a pint of warm water or skim-milk directly over the.float to clear the cream from the machine. t , 3. Hour In pailful of hot (l30"l") solution of a dairy cleaning com- pound into the supply tank. Allow this to flow through the separator while the bowl is still turning. Re- cover the solution in s. pail or dishpan. During this time clean the supply tank and spouts by brushing with a soft brush. 4. Dismantle the machine and place cleaned spouts, float and inlet in the supply tank. it. Open the bowl and place disks on disk rack. Spread and brush these and the bowl with the clean- ing solution if necessary ,then place in the supply tank. 6. Pour several gallons of really hot (180”F) water over the parts: drain off the water; shake and hang on a hook and leave the other parts in a supply tank where they will dry off from their own heat. A separator cared for in this manner will not only turn out is better quality of cream: it will also last much longer and will skim cleaner than one not properly washed. Care Of The Milking Machine Wash the machine after each milking. Rinse with cold or luke- warm water. then brush all parts, using warm water (140?) con- taining a .sods washing powder, Use a brush or cleaning rod for cleaning the inside of the rubber tubes. Rinse all parts with warm water. Drain and store in a. clean place. I The rubber teat cup liners and tubes should be free from defects. Discard old and soft rubbers Checked or split rubber liners can- not bo cleaned and will harbor millions of, bacteria. Between milkinga the that cup assembly is stored on the rack and the tubes filled with a recom- mended chlorine or lye solution. Before using. rinse all parts with a chlorine solution. This can easily be done by assembling the machine, placing the solution in a bucket. and turning on the'suc- tion. IN MEALORIAM In loving memory of deer Mother, who payed away Novem- ber ism 1951.

This revolt often oc- curs in homes where up to now. the most amiable relationship ex- isted between parents and child- ren. Only when there is smooth sailing and the young person is always obedient and loving is there real cause for concern. Too much attachment to home and parents. say the psycholgists, may prevei-ma successful home of his own. 0 O 0 Breaking away from the warm and protecting shelter of his childhood. is not our for the ad- olescemt. It is interesting that I,onllfeliow's somewhat old-fulv ioned stanza should express what mod?-n psychologists have to say abou this: "99-lldll'll with reluctant feet Where the brook and river meet Womanhood and childhood fleet" The teenage girl, and certainly the teenage boy, probably laugh at this idea of "standing with re- luctant feet . . .". yet adolescence is indeed a period of conflict between the urge to enter into in- dependent adult life. and the de- sire to remain a. child, loved and protected. 0 0 O Adolescence has been called, "The Age of Decision," and when we consider the problems facing young people at this time, we cannot wonder that they often prefer. in their hearts. to leave it to their parents. Not only must the adolescent learn to cope with the new and strong p:-sauces within him. but he must make decisions qf far-reaching im- portance in his life. He must choose a mate; he must plan his further education, or go out into business. Above all. he must prove his worth to his own age group i l TI-IE "GUARDIAN. in the immediate Present.

O O Gradually. however, if independ- ence is granted .n proportion to his ability to handle it. the young person will gain confidence from each success. This is the same method wise parents followed with their children at every age, but i: is far more difficult for them to use it with their adolescent child- fen The reason is that not only the adolescent but his parents "stand with reluctant feet"! It requires the breaking of lodg "established habit for parents to give up their protective attitude toward their teenage children. Indeed. these children seem to them still small and helpless.

But, somehow, in the large majority of homes, the tran- sitlon,from dependence to adult independence. is safely made, and Parents find a new and rewarding relationship with their married children.
