Give MILK Cows Plenty of Water.

Milk stock are averse to any great amount of exercise, and do not ordinarily take any more than is necessary in sup plying themselves with food. Give them plenty of food and an easy access to water and they will quickly fill them selves and spend most of their time at rest. When water is situated in out of the way places on farm, cows will often go thirsty for considerable portion of the day rather than make special jour ney to obtain it. This has been observed by all practical farmers, and yet it is curious that many who are conversant with the fact neglect to take proper ad- vantage of this peculiarity in the habits of the animal. It is an important object with the dairy man who desires the high est success to promote, as far as may be (wi-hout resorting to artificial means, the taking of an abundant quantity of water by his herd. Milk cannot be made with out water and when it is secreted largely a large amount of water is absolutely re- uuirel

stomach ana causes the anlnai incon- venience.
 Delicate feeders must be tempted to take their rations, and such should never be fed too strongly at one time. "A Scotch plate is a rule very generally observed in England-everything cleaned up before placing other food in the racks or managers. A little linseed boiled to a jelly and mixed with the corn is seductive. Hay dampened and salted will tempt others. Beans, a double handful, are a relish in weakly sub jects, pale malt for the convalescent or indisposed; damp bran and oats are en-. gazing for others. Some grooms give carrots and tares in small quantities. Carrots superinduce diabetes if given in excessive quantities. The peculiar habits of horses demand the attention of all horse owners and grooms. A sufficiency of flesh is all that is required, and not 'hog fat" or "beastly fat" as some phrase it.
