But the case will be very different in un-

should approve Of hilling in such a case for
more than one reason. The stirring of the

SpAYED Cows.-Edward II. Andrews. Of

market, has had thirty animals within year
subjected to this operation. and recommends
it to his fellow mikmen, and especially TO
those who keep single COW for family use.
He says that there is no danger attending
the operation, and but slight loss in the yield
Of milk afterwards. The cows require mod
crate feeding and good care for about four
weeks, when their wounds will be entirely
healed. The usual time for spaying cows !.
from three to six weeks after calving. lie

and wholesomeness for children, that the

COW gave on an average over eight quarts OF
milk day for three years, and grew exceed
ingly Fat. He finds that the yield of milk
varies with the season and the quality Of the
food as before. except in the tendency to &c
entirely dry. The younger the animal and
the greater her milking qualities, Of course
the better The result.
