In its place the farmer feeds the calf some corn meal or linseed meal. One or two cents' worth of meal will serve the calf as well as twenty-five cents' worth of cream. Choosing a Good Dairy Cow. The dairy cow is shaped like a wedge. The neck, thighs, and shoul- ders are thin and lean. She should be thin, not because she is poorly fed, but because she is turning a large part of the feed she eats into milk. She should be quiet and gentle.
