FEEDING AND MANAGING MICH
COWS.
The grasses, particularly the clovers,
are the best summer food. When these
begin TO fail, the deficiency may De sup.
piled by green corn, which is very sweet
and produces large quantity of milk, Of
excellent quality. The tops of beets,
carrots, parsnips, and cabbag e and turnip
leaves, are good. Pumpkins, apples, and
roots may be given as the feed falls
Give only few at first, especially APP
pies, and gradually increase.
Roots are of great Importance when
COWS are kept on dry fodder. Potatoes,
carrots, beets, turnIps, parsnips, arti.
chokes and vegetable oysters, are good.
The last three, and cabbage and turnips,
keep good in the ground through the
winter, and are fresh and fine in the
UClOlC tlC russ SluTLS.
Potatoes produce great flow Of milk,
but it is not very rich. A little Indian
meal is good for them, to keep up the flesh
and give richness to the milk and this is
the case with beets and most kinds of tur.
nips, as they tend largely to milk. A
little oil meal or 6axseed is excellent, in
addition to the Indian meal, to keep upa
fine, healthy condition, and impa TT rich
quality TO the milk, and gives a lively
gloss TO the hair Of cattle, and soflness
and pliancy 10 the skin.
In all cases of high feeding in winter,
particularly when COWS have but few
roots, shorts or bran are excellent to pro.
mote digestion and keep the bowels open.
Three pnts each Of oil and Indian meal,
or two quarts Of one and one Of the other,
is as high feed with these articles as cows
should ever have. On shorts, bran and
roots they may be fed literally. Four
quarts Of Indian meal, in long run, will
dry up and spoil the best COWS, so that
they wlllneyer recover.
Carrots are among the very best roots
for mich COWS, producing good but not
very great mess Of rich milk, and keep
ing the COW in good health. Parsnips
are nearly the same. Ruta-bagas are ra-
Their rich, and keep up the condition. To
prevent any unpleasant taste in the milk
from feeding turnips, use salt freely on
them, and milk night and morning before
feeding with turnips. Cabbage-turnip
(or turn p-rooted-c abbage-be low-gro
has no such effect. 1t resembles ruta-
baga, is raised in the same way, and yields
as much, or moresza. ~

err. Cows are much belt er FOR being kept
in the barn nearly al 1.-The time in cold

and then stand half chilled to death, is
highly injurious. But they should 90 out
a little while daily, in favorable weather,
and be driven around gently for exercise.
