Keep the Cows Thrifty.

While it is not expected that good COWS
giving good flow Of milk will keep fat,
at the same time iE is not only possible
but essential that they be kept in good
thrifty condition. 1t is not only that q
cow kept in good thrifty condition will
give more milk, but she will give better
milk.
II, however, on the other hand, cows
are in poor condition and running
down, the milk will be deteriorated and
poor, and if they are very poor and thin,
says N. j, Shepherd in the D0iry World,
the milk will be the next thing to un-
wholesome, besides being deficient in
the important elements Of nutrition.
On too many farms the COWS are al
lowed to run down to a point whore the
milk produced during the winter Is Of
this quality, and in majority Of cases
being in this condition and producing q
poor quality Of milk gives but little il
any profit.
As with all stock, the best profit with
