through the winter, and she not only puts
On fat, but gives double the milk that
could be obtained on ordinary keeping.
Not only does she give good mess, but
1t is rich. The milk is considered fully
equal in value to the cost of keeping the
COW. Now mark the result. Instead of
her being thin and of very small selling
value in the spring, she is ready for the
butcher at the very time Of year when
beef generally brings the highest prices

farmers will be feeding more or less grain
the coming winter, would it not be a good
plan to try the experiment of feeding the
farrow cows, at least, both for milk and
beef at the same time
