DAIRY MANAGEMENT.
How Ia Keep the Cows In Prime
Condition of Health and In
sure Pecuniary Success.

Twice each day, IA times ench week
our COWS are driven from the field to
the stable during pasture season and
MIXED, each cow tied in her own stall
and fed supplementary ration OF
grain, but not "a balanced one except
that it aids digestion and assimilation
with pasture consumed during the day.
This grain ration is made up largely OF
bran, with 25 per cent. of chop added.
We do not feed grain for the purpose Of
quicting our cows, but for the specific
purpose of obtaining revenue, and al
ways feel that it pays to do il in such
a degree as good judgment permits.
Our cows are driven quietly to and
from field, which is not far, nor should
II be distant. We saw a man go one
mile To a rented pasture to milk. This
was on the right side of economy as
against driving cows the distance 10
and from pasture. We fear some of our
dairymen are not sufficiently careful
during the summer in caring for
stables, keeping them cleanly and re.
moving daily some of the products that
soon produce noisome odors. Every
thing should be kept absolutely clean
and every stain busted with gypsum OF
what is almost as good. common road
dust.
Almost daily our stalls are swept and
the walk behind treated likewise, so
that they present tempting place for
the cows to go to eat and rest while
they are speedily pailed. We advocate
rapid milking when done in a mastery
way. In fly time burlap cover closed
up at the rear Is thrown over COW
while milking her, and she stands per-
fectly quiet and cannot use her tail TO
the annoyance of the mixer. t'dders
and teats are busted before milking,
thus avoiding foreign substances get
ting into the milk. which we consider
very important. AT once after COWS are
MIXED they are turned out TO avoid
soiling the trench. We are poor au-
thority on kicking cows The best way
10 break them is not TO have them.
Kicking cows are. we think. the result
of poor handling and training George
