Late Summer Care Of Cows.

Late Summer Care Of Cows.
Too many dairymen, says the National
Livestock journal, are careless ABOUT iull-
feeding their herds in the busy time OF har-
vest; yet this is, perhaps, the most trying
time of the season. The farmer is extreme
ly busy and forgets to inspect his pastures
and see that there is sufficient food to keep
his cows in good condition and to produce a
full yield of milk He often says: II fear
my D. stures are getting too short for my
cows, but hope tibet we shall soon have
rains that will give fresh feed, and then my
cows will come up again" But this is
mistaken opinion, which he seldom takes
the trouble fully to investigate Mix is a
temporary product and naturally grows less
as the time advances for calving, and when
there is a falling of it can rarely be recov-
cred; so that when cow falls off five or ten
pounds in her milk it means the loss of
about that amount every day the remainder
of the season. This is very serious matter
and does not admit of delay for propitious
rains. Before tney come and cause the
grass to grow, your herd of cows have lost
one-fourth to one-third of their usefulness
for the rest of the season. Let the dairy
man, then, look to his herd in time, and see
that the wants of each cow are provided for.
A dairyman should study the pecuiiarities
of each COW. Some cows will appropriate
all the extra food they can digest to the Sc
cretion of milk, and even deplete their own
systems to keep up full flow of milk. Such
cows should be especially well provided for.
