flies come out Of the ground from July
to September. A daab OF tar upon

should be frequently applied during
the summer months. This may be
done by sprinkling some meal or salt

The tender green grass OF the pas
ture is unquestiona0ly lhs best food
for mich cows, but as we cannot de
pend on an adequate supply at all
seasons, we have to look elsewhere
for food. In our Territory the
ground ia now becoming dry for
want OF rain, the grass is becoming
snort and p01r in the pastures, and
the COWS will consequently begin to
shrink IN their milk. If allowed to
do so now, from scapty feed, the
decreased qusntity will continue
during the res OF the season. There
fore look to their feed, give them
a full supply of green
oats. pea vines, green corn
fodder, clover Of lucern. They
must tie fed literally during hot
weather. You cannot afford the
loss of shrinkage in the quantity of
milk, ard the loss is generally moi
appreciated until it Is too late tC
prevent il. The time to begin Is
before the COWS begin to shrink, and
not afterwards. Cows should not
be required to walk about all day In
search OF food; If they do, your
pocke5 will pay for it. Be careful
to avoid sudden changes of food
make the change gradually. ATTEND
to this subject without delay.
