These will be distributed to boys and girls, who, supported by their parents will give a bankable note for the actual cost of the calf and agree to take proper care of it.

These calves may be exhibited later at the local fair and such prizes awarded under competent judges, as will make competition keen. At this time any boy or girl, so desiring, may sell their calf, pay the first cost and retain the balance as his profit. Competitive Essays on calf raisng and other dairy subjects may be arranged for at the same time.
