Warm Water for Cows.

An experiment to determine whether ii is
profitable to give mich cows warm water
instead of cold water has been made at the
Wisconsin experiment station. Such work
as this is directly in the line Of the practi-
cal requirements of the farmer, and more
tests of the same sort should be undertake
en-. The result in this case was not up to
our expectations. and not so good as many
farmers believe they have personally pro-
cured: but 1t has the advantage of being
test under more exact conditions than the
farmer can usually procure, and, if repeat
ed with result approximately the same,
should be accepted as nearly conclusive.
To summarize the results briefly, we may
state that the gain in milk produced by
giving water heated to 70 degrees was a
trife over one pound each day, or equal to
about 81 cent, increase uponsthe former
daily average of 10 pounds more of water
per day when it was given warm, and that
the increase in the yield of milk was coin
cident with an increase In the amount of
water drank. whether it was taken warm
or cold, so that if by any other method the
cows were induced to drink more there
would follow the same relative gain of
one pound of milk for each additional 10
pounds of water There was slightly
greater consumption of food while drink
ing warm water The testimony regard
ing the relative increase of weight is not
all conclusive, but seems rather in ia yor of
cold water. Naturally, when the milk
flow is stimulated by such purely artih-
cial means increase of weight could not be
expected The conclusions are as follows:
With butter at 20 cents per pound, skim
milk at Is cents per hundred, corn fodder
at IS per ton, and the cost of warming
water for forty cows 100 days at SIS, the
results obtained from the cows in the fore
going expert = ent indicate that net gain
of S2l SO would be realized on a herd of 40
cows averaging 16 pounds of milk per CO.
per day, and at least $40 on herd of 20
and IS on herd of 10 cows. An addition
al cost for fodder would rapidly reduce
the gain As have said, the result does
not seem as good as that obtained by IN
dividual farmers. The reason may be
that wheh the farmer or dairyman warns
the water for his cows he also does several
other things such as making their quar-
tiers warmer, paying closer attention to
feeding, etc When one pays strict at
tention to one detail other improvements
in methods are apt to follow, and thus re-
sUfTs are gIJa1TIed That would not De pro-
duced 10y any single item. We hope the
experiment at the Wisconsin station will
be repeated under as nearly the same con-
ditions as is possible.

Do you know heart that hungers
For word of love and cheer,
There are many such about us;
Ii may be that one is near.
Look around you, If you find it
Speak the word that's needed so,
And your own heart may be strengthened
By the help that you bestow.
1t may be that some one falters
On the brirh of sin and wrong,
And a word from you might save him
Help to make the tempted strong.
Look about you, o my brother,
What sin is yours and mine
If we see that help is needed
And we give no friendly sign.
Never think kind words are wasted,
Bread on water cast are they,
And ii may be we shall find them
Coming back TO us some day
Coming back when sorely needed,
In time of sharp distress,
So, my friend, let's give them freely;
Gift and giver God will bless.
