shade and Water In Pastures.

Many pastures in the west consist
of a level piece Of prairie land cover
ed with few varieties OF grass and
surrounded 10y fence of barbed wire.
There is no water except that found
in natural depressions of the earth
after heavy rain. Mich cows are
allowed water in the yard twice u
day at milking time. Calves, colts,
and stock cattle are driven to a pond {,
creek, or watering trough once in
every twenty-four hours to quench
their thirst. Sheep often are not
treated as well as this. 1t is Il favOrite
idea of some farmers that sheep will
get along well enough on dew. They
are fond Of reading stories of sheep
that lived for months on ocean islands
that contained no fresh water or in
arid regions in the far west where
there are no springs or streams.
II is true that most kinds of farm
stock will exist for several months on
Il scant supply of food and water. and
with very little to add to their com.
fort. The animals will exist, but
they will not be profitable to their
owners. Cows will give little milk,
sheep will afford but small amount
of wool. Stock intended for the
butchers will lay on but little fat, and
young animals will make Il very slow
growth. Stock kept during several
generations in this way will "run
out" They will diminish in size and
productiveness. They will he far
less profitable to their owners than
animals that have had their material
wants we'll supplied and have had at
tention paid To their comfort. Some
animals, like human beings, will only
do their hest when they are well fed
and cared for.
Every pasture should contain a
perpetual supply of cool, fresh water,
to which animals can have access at
all times. IL the pasture is large
then there should he several drinking
places. Animals should not be sub.
jected to the hardship of walking
half "a mile to obtain drink in a hot
day in July or August. If they are
compelled to do this they will often
remain thirsty for several hours, and
will then find their way to the water
and drink immOderately. Abstinence
from water for "a considerable period,
or long walk in the scalding sun in
order to obtain it, will result in the
loss OF milk, flesh, and fat. Water,
next To air, is the cheapest article that
is consumed by animals, and they
should have 1t in abundance and
within easy reach ut all times.
Many farmers are very negligent
in utilizing natural supplies of water.
They take no pains TO keep up the
flow of water in springs, or to con.
duct the water they afford through
pipes to different parts of large
pasture. The fall necessary to con.
duct water is very small. Pipes OF

Once in position, they will last II

higher portions Of the pasture, as
they are more exposed to breezes,
