EDITOR SMITH, of the Cedarburg
News, says: with even very fair
pasturage, in this section of the state, a
sharp shrinkage of the flow of milk has
already commenced; and, as usual, is
imputed to hot weather, and flies, as
tho cause was not largely under the
control of the farmer, if he had the
nerve, and the faith and the determine
ton to overcome the difficulty and loss,
by having something ready raised, at
hand, that is succulent and palatable,
for his cows to eat, and a cool, airy,
darkened, comfortable place for them to
eat it in. Cows make more exertion to
find cool shade, and freedom from flies
than they do to put material for milk
into their stomachs. Give them the
cool shade of an airy stable, and a sup
ply of second-crop clover or fodder
corn, and a small ration of meal, and
you will see none but the natural shrink
age of the pregnant cow"
