T his sub­ ject Is often m isunderstood. Twin hulls a re as sure breeders as hulls of single birth and there Is no reason to suspect failure to breed when a bull Is tw inned with an o th er hull, says W. W. Svvett of tlie Missouri College of A griculture. Tlie sam e thing ra n be said of heifers th a t are tw inned together. They a re as sure to he breeders as any o th er heifers. W hen a heifer nnd a bull are horn together, the heifer is known as a free-niartlu. Tlie bull, tw inned with a heifer is as certain to he a breeder as a hull of single birth, hut the free- : m artin heifer is alm ost sure to he ' sterile. Only a very few free tnartlhs have been known to breed, and the chances are very small th a t they will ever re­ produce. As a rule it Is not advisable to raise free-m artln heifers as they usually result In failures and are w orth no more than th eir beef value.

Cows which freshet) lu the fall usually produce more milk than cows which freshen a t o th er seasons of the 1 year. H eifers are usually bred so th at they will come In milk a t two years of age. If they are fall calves they will i m ature at the proper season. Calves 1 which are to he raised on skim milk j can be kept grow ing nicely during the w inter and turned out on pasture w ith­ out checking th eir growth. The d is­ advantages of feeding and care in w in­ ter are more than offset by the annoy­ ance from flies and hot w eather which are experienced by th e spring calves. In addition th ere is usually more tim e available for giving the calves proper attention In the w inter. Cleau pails for feeding and clean barns for bousing a re two Im portant essentials In raising the calves. The calves will need to have a stall or lot w here they can get plenty of sunshine. If the calves a re confined to a dirty, dark stall they a re a p t to become un­ thrifty. Calves should have th eir m others’ milk when they a re sta rte d on feed. Whole milk should be cdntlnued for Ihe first month and gradually shifted to skim milk. T he calves should be given grain as soon as tiiey will .eat IL If a little cracked corn Is placed In the bottom of the milk palls the calves will soon acquire a ta ste for It. The am ount of milk and grain should alw ays be limited. B etter resu lts are obtained If the calves are kept hun­ gry. An nbundance of clean w ater should be accessible a t all tim es or available a t freq u en t Intervals. Uood hay should he provided. Many people fa ­ vor mixed hay for calves as it Is less apt to cause scours than alfalfa hay. However, good resu lts can be had In feeding alfalfa hay if It is fed in lim ­ ited q u an tities so th a t the calves will not gorge them selves. If any scours appear, the hay should be changed and special atten tio n paid to cleanli­ ness of both the sta lls and milk pails. S anitation, feeding and housing are the Im portant d etails in raising fall calves successfully.
