other season Of tho year.
The chief business on farms is to take

future profit, will lconelilule ono important
item of labor for tho preseut month.
Mich COWS should be well taken care OF,
or they cannot be expected to give a 6oun-
tiful supply of milk. Soon after n COW has
finished eating, she wants T. drink. lf she
yields a large quantity OF milk, she requires
more water than aSdry COW, or an OK, For

COWS should he we'll watered ut least three
times during the twegty.four hours. .,
