I Remember
by Charles Wall
This is what I remember about
feeding small calves, two
months old and less.
My sister Carol and I each had
a calf, and we fed them milk out
of a bucket. The calf's instinct
is to suck on something so you
have to put your fingers in his
mouth and get him to put his
head down in the bucket to train
him to suck your fingers and
then eventually drink out of the
bucket on his own.
In the 1950's the nipple
bucket came on the market and
this made it easier to train them..
Then in the 1970's, individual
calf bottles came on the market.
The bottles are plastic and hold
two quarts and have a nipple. A
metal holder is designed to hang
the bottle on a fence, and the
calf can drink from the nipple.
Whole milk or skim milk can
be used to feed the calf. Also,
dried milk and other ingredients
in the form of calf milk replacer
can be purchased and mixed
with warm water.
It is believed that women do
a better job of raising calves be-
cause they have a stronger care-
giver instinct.
In recent years some in my
family have started calves on
the bottle, and then train them
to drink from a bucket. Some-
times if the calves are healthy
and doing well, we put four or

Forest Valley students' names sought
One of our readers would like help in identifying the students
in this 1915 Forest Valley Sehool photo. Mary Lou Parker said
she received the picure from Jim Schatz of ~tillwater. She said
that five of the Shatz children are in the photo, and wonders if
anyone recognizes anyone else in the group.
If you can help to identify them, please write to Mary Lou
