Suaw may be used for bedding,
where it will answer a good purpose,
but not as a feed, and ali kinds of in

The food should be ~palatablP, easily
to be digest d end assimilated, for the
best results. En5i age, nicely cured

there is a liberal proportion of clover,
and such other kinds OF fodder crope
that are especially adapted to the DIFF

Tnese, with the addition Of such
kinds of grain feeds that will help TO
make the rations the most complete
and wholesome, ju%diciously mixed and
fed, should furnish the material for a
8 satisfactory yield of milk OF more than
average quality, if fed to the right
kind OF cows.
Having produced the milk-pure and
wholesome the n'xE step will be t.
make it into butter OF 8 qualify mat Ia

Al the present time it would hardly
be best, il practicable, to undertake to
get the cream by any Of the old time
processes OF raising.
These methods once answered their
purpose, but now there ere systems far
Superior in every way, savlog time
