his wicked eyes, came straight to-

How a Good Yield of Milk Can he Main.
tanned During Cold Weather.
Observing dairymen have noticed that
the quantity of milk a COW yields de-
pends very much upon the quantity OF
water she drinks. Almost invariably a
good mixer is a free drinker. NJ. DON
eel reported to the French Academy of
Science that he found, by series of ex-
periments. that the quantity of water
habitually drank by each COW during
twenty-four hours was criterion to
Judge of the quantity of milk that she
would yield per day. And a COW that
does not habitually drink as much as 27
quarts of water daily must be q poor
mixer, giving only from 81 to quarts
per day. But all the cows which con-
sumed as much as so quarts of water
daily were excellent mixers, giving
from IS to % quarts of milk per day.
He gives a confident opinion that the
quantity of water drank by COW is an
important factor of her value as a
mixer.
Prof. Horsfall found that a COW Civ
ing only 20 pounds of milk day drank
40 pounds more of water than fattening
cattle of the same weight. Here is a
clue to the excellent effect noticed by
those who have warmed the water for
their COWS. The COWS very naturally
drank nearly the usual quantity, and
the result was an increase of 25 per
cent. more milk of good quality

such contemplate act.
"Weel, We see," replied the prisoner.

.'Oh. yesr' said the Judge. "But
surely she didn't tell you to 60 and take

The prisoner was evidently non
