COW should go dry. Amer two hours
debate n vote was taken, which resulted |
In a six weeks vacation for each dairy
COW, beginning with the first Of January
each year The cows may protest against
being granted vacation at time when
all their friends are fastened in the
stanchions, the amusements Of bovine So
ciety Of little interest, and the festal
board covered with corn stalks and raw

voting their attention to family matters
in the fall, and having a six weeks
vacation in the summer, when the town
fairs are in blossom and the circus Is

the cultivation which the land received
and IL was further mentioned in the
remarks ELECTED that corn sown for
fodder, in which case there were no ears

The grass is fed OF without going to
seed. The cases are parallel, rs corn is n
grass. II is encouraging TO those who
grow corn for fodder that this is 80.
Good crops can thus be realized for feed
ing green during the summer, or IL not
all needed saved for winter feed, the
land remaining the same, or better fitted
for other equally good or superior crops.
Clover is still more beneficial to land.
The two should be more grown, especially
for the purpose OF feeding in drouth,
or when the grass becomes rank and
hard, and also as feed during the hot
days, particularly the hot moons, when
cows should be put up or have access to
shade and then fed. Cows giving milk

the hot sun begets fever, and the effect
