BLUE oaAaE p.sru.r.


The common Vhe grass of the
Northern States isl identical with the
bluegrass of Kenfu$ay. All the world
knows that in theiiaItter State it makes
the best and richest pasture known.
Part OF this is due 70 the limestone in
which Kentucky sol abounds. The
roots of blue grass Run near the sur
face, hence it is q v4ry early grass to
start in the spring, because the surface
soil is quickly wafmed; hence also
its roots are more lor less broken nm
by winters freezing and thawine. But
when warm rains ckme in spring this
injury is quickly Impaired. After a
dry spring blue grsiis does not endure
summer d~roughts DIN, hence also it
needs replowing iydery few years.-

I do not meun % advocate the prac-
tice of bringing the milk can into
contact with the pump spout, but do
wish to present fob serious considera-
ton n point too often ignored in car
ing for the COW. Ordinary milk has
about 81 per cent Iateri in it's makeup,
and in spite of all that may be said as
to the value OF proper feeding, it is a
self.evident fact that without a proper
supply of water it is impossible for
the COW to give ths usual amount OF
milk. Nevertheless it Is mt sufficient
ly understood thu thSfcow should
have water of the Aohfkind, and at
the right times.
We have often 9 bows come nm
from the pasture there was q
running stream tn Mhey had to pass
on their way up, %% the first thing
they did after gel IA into the yard
was to mako stray ght for the pump
trough. The reason for this was that
the water inthe though was more pala-
table to the cofs than the branch
water. Whethertwe want to or not.
ii we are successful in the diary bust
ness we must colsult so small a thing
as the taste OF TIE cows, aud if they
prefer pump water to branch water,
must give 1t to them. It is absolutely
essential to the highest production of
milk that the GOV have all the water
Bho wants, and this she will not hayo
il the water does not suit her taste.
1t is also important that the COW
have access to Water frequently. A
camel may drinAAoncs in a week and
thrive. but a co9is not a camel by any
means. She is asing water all the
time in making Ailk, and her reser-
yoir is not constructed to hold enough
water Tor any lelgth Of time.
II q COW is turhed ont OF a winters
morning to drinl water from which the
ice has been broken first, she will not
drink all she waits unless she has been
parched by thirst. and then she will
staud drawn up With cold chills run
ming mp and down her spine, and at
the same time taxing tho feed Shat she
would otherwise hive turned into but
ter, and using ii warm the water
that she has just lied herself with.
Unless a COW has all she rants OF
water thai stochep TASTE. she will not
produce all tnea she is capable OF,
aud we don't wd to keep a COW I'M

Cold weather, Whether damp or dry, will
produce, even II we are extremely careful,
sudden soreness aud Stiffness OF the limbs
and muscles. This IS much owing to sudden
change OF temperature from a warm roomto
outdoor mir. Cold contracts and warmth
expands or ~relnxcs, and 1t Is for this reason
that when one Is sore and stiff from sudden
cold, the application of st. Jacobs OIL brings
immediate and sure relief, ASH gives warmth
and relaxation to the stifrencd muscles and
makes supple the sore and cramped limbs.
With n vigorous rubbing with this great
remedy for pain, no one need suffer With
soreness and stiffness more than q very shori
ting. II is especially the best remedy ioi
suffering where we require n prompt cure,
ehd it is particularly the lest because its
are permanent.
