Such water is liable tc faint the MIN.
and some Of the filth which collects
on the cows body while standing In
the water is very apt to fall into the
pail at milking.
In winter, dairy cows which have
poor shelter and are obliged IT, drink
iee-water from a creek dread the chill
and often do not drink as much water
as needed. 1t will often pay to warm
the water, using one Of the cheap
heaters on the market.
On stormy days if cows are exposed
while drinking the milk yield will be
reduced sometimes as much as Is per
cent, and when the weather is bad it
will pay either to have the watering
trough under shed or else carry wa.
terri to the cows and let them stay in
the stable.
There are devices on the market
which keep supply of water con-
stantly before cows in the stable, and
tests with these devices show that
when used that milk yield is increased
over that given by any other method
of watering Southern Cultivator.
Winding Up the Years Business.
Whilst the business of one year
laps OVER that of the next to certain
extent, good deal of winding up is
possible and desirable at the close of
the calendar year. Hands will soon

not forget that failure to pay a debt
when due may work hardship to the
creditor as well as to the debtor.
Enough produce, therefore, should be
sold to meet the above items. But we
still think it is not good policy to
rush all ones cotton on the market at
once. If practicable farmer should
distribute the sale of his crop through
the whole year. The practice which
has prevailed in the south of having
debts mature and settlements made at
the end of the year works very badly.
1t causes a very large portion of the
cotton crop TO be placed on themarket
at once, depressing prices and giving
spectators an opportunity to get
most of the Profit there may be in the
crop. Sell, therefore, only so much as
may be needed to meet pressing obi
cations, gin and pack the remainder
and place under shelter where there is
least danger of fire. Insure it if you
feel able 20 do so, but there is no
necessity to incur the expense Of
storage. 1t is equally important to
know how TO handle and market a
crop as it is to know how to cultivate
it and secure the greatest yield. Farm
ers as a rule are much more skilled in
making a crop than in disposing of it.
They heed the statements and advice
of cotton buyers, losing sight of the
fact that these are largely interest
ed parties.--Southern Cultivation.
