The investigation made by the Kan
sas Experiment Station OF the cream
cry business OF the Meriden Creamery
revealed the fact that there was one
man that sheltered his cows In winter
by two wire fences, another by q wood
lot, and still another by wind breaks.
Out Of So patrons there were 10, or 20
per cent that compelled their cows to
drink ice water from creek or pond
in winter. When We stop to think
that the dairy cow, unlike the steer,
has thin hide, with little or no fat
beneath the skin and poor surface
circulation, we can understand one Of
the reasons why the yield of some
herds is so low, Tho dairy COW is q
very sensitive animal, anu when she is
forced to keep up animal heat and to
stand shivering while taking her flll
on ice water she certainly cannot be
expected to make very good showing
Mt the milk pail. Few people realize
the loss sustained from cold barns. In
an experiment carried on in England
1t was found that with herd Of 30
cows the profit was three pounds or
about Sl5 per week more when the
OF the barn was kept at
90 degrees than when at SO deg ,ees.
