FARM AND DAIRY.

SCOUR IX CALVES. METHOD OF PREVENTION, A farmer who has lost a good many calves through scour in the past few years is given the following advice by the veterinary expert of the Farmers' Union Advocate, from whom, he sought advice:— You are not likely to prevent this trouble by using a lick, or any other medicinal form of treatment. But yon can prevent it "by using oare and common sense. Observe the following ruleß and you will have little or no trouble: (1) Bun the calves on clean ground, as dry as possible, and especially avoid running them in a paddock where calves have previously suffered from scouring ■ and died.

(2) Do not let the calves have the chance of drinking stagnant water, swamp water, or, if possible, surface water of any kind. (3) Feed them well. If using separated milk or whey, see that it is first pasteurised —that is, heated to a temperature of not less than 176.degrees Fahr. (4) Do not store surplus separated milk or whey in dirty barrels, or any other receptacle which is not perfcetly clean.

(3). Always make sure that the trough, buckets or other vessels from which" the calves are fed are perfectly clean before the fsied is placed in them.
