be harvested at the appropriate timo

pasture is cropped very short the roots
Injured by the heat OF the sun. and
the growth will be small after the rains
occur. By alording feed from outside

prevented, aud the best conditions af-
for is rapid growth when the
soil again becomes moist. Many find
II advisable and convenient 10 give
their cows Il liberal feed after milking
At night.
After Il decrease Of milk has COM
menced, ON account Of insufficient food,

This is the experience Of almost all
dairy farmers. Great pains must nc
cordingly be taken 10 prevent this
'%hrlnkage 1t is generally advisable to
feed some cut food before the pastures
begin tp fail, 20 that the cows will 10.

den change rom ono kind OF food 10
another generally lcals 10 u~nfnyorable
results. The change should DO made
gradually. Cows, rs well rs other
grazing animals, relish an occasional
feed of something besides grass even
when pastures are In thoir best con.
They will cat dry corn meal.

pastures is tolcrably good. They sho,d

They should be- fed 30 literally that
they can lilo at rest II considerable part
OF the time. During u prolractcd
drought milk and all kinds Of dairy
products arc worth much more than
they arc at other times. aud tho milk
prodncer should be In n way 10 take
Advantage Of the situation. Espccially
this true Of those dtirymcn who pro.
duce mix for city markets. A drought
generally produces mn advance IN tho
prce of milk. Experiments made in
many places show that milk Is produced
under \ partial sniling system cheaper
than by restricting COWS entirely To pas.
lures Some orc labor is required,
but nor COWS can be kept on the same
number Of ACRES. As land become.
