SPAYISG Mich Cows.--From a
French work-Spaying of cows at GER
tain periods of their life, offers immense
advantages to the agriculturist and con-
sumer, in producing much augmentation
of milk and meat. In this way the an
imal escapes a host of ailments, and
spares a host of losses, sustained in
consequence of her bulling at times
when it is inconvenient or impossible to
crafty her desires. Spaying of cows,
Professor Bouley says, creates a new
race, sterile for breading, but produc-
tive and valuable for the purpose of
yielding milk for the dairy, and meat
for the butcher. Spayed cows yield, an
nually, for the first two or three years
at least, third more milk than they
were in the habit of giving before the
performance of the operation. A COW
spayed thirty or forty days after calv-
ing, or at the time she is giving the
most milk, continues to yield, if not for
the remainder of life, at least for many
years, the same large quantity of milk.
and sometimes more than she gave at
the time of performing the operation.
French veterinarians have, for many
years, had their attention directed to
this subject; and each year their expe-
rience, as well as that of agriculturists,
leads them to speak more and more
favorably of the practice.
1t is a subject worthy the attention of
our dairymen here; and would lead to
very important results if successful here
as it seems to be in France.
