WATERING MILK cows.
Where Eight or Ten Animals Are
Kept Construction of n Water
system IL Advisable.

| We sometimes water our cows in the
stables, and find it Il great gain over
| turning them out to drink at the
| spring. We never allow our mich
COWS to drink out of a brook, as it is
unreasonable to expect a COW to do her
best if compelled to gorge herself
with ice cold water. In the fall and
early winter, when we have only few
of our cows calved, we always like to
take the chill of the water they drink
| and give it to them in the stable; we
notice a very marked improvement
over turning them out. OF course,
where there is a large herd it would
| not pay to water them in the stable
without one had the water right in the
barn. We water twice day, and it is
surprising how much they will drink,
especially if some feed flour is stirred
in it. A cow has no filter in her, and if
the water is impure all the impurities
will go to the milk. Some of our "big"
farmers may cry 'egotist" when they
see this, but / am in a fair position to
know, as for the last two months !
have weighed every pound of feed our
cows consumed. Also in the stable the
milk of each cow was wei ghed sepa-
rately and record kept. From this
we could plainly Sc that the day the
cows were turned out to drink, il let
for any length of time, there was al
ways a shrinkage in the milking. If
the change was noticeable in our
mild December weather, what must
it be when the mercury is lowering
about the cipher!
Where there is a winter dairy of
eight or ten cows it would pay to have
good water system, SO as to water
our cows in the stable in cold weather.
Also induce them to drink as much as
possible, for when we consider that
milk contains over so per cent. OF wa
ter, it is evident that our cows should
have lots of good, pure water.-D. Il.

COMFORT BRINGS CASH.
Succulcnt Feed On Hand to
Help Out the Pasture.

There is direct connection be-
tween the comfort of the COW and
the cash received by her owner. This
factor of comfort may be made more
important by having combined with
1T the additional factor of succulent
feed. This is especially the case
when cows are on pasture, in which
case their digestive systems have
adapted themselves to the succulent
nature of the foods. In case of o
storm lasting for days, or of any
mishap that makes it necessary to
take the animals off the pasture, the
substitution for that pasture grass
OF dry hay always causes loss in the
flow of milk and in the production Of
butter fat. Every dairyman should
have on hand silage, sugar beets. or
some other succulent feed to help
out the pasture whenever necessary
The Importance of this is shown by
an experience at the Arizona expsr-
iment station, as told by the direct.
or: The nth, 18th and 10th days of
November, 1900, were rainy days.
From the day before to the day aft
er the rains the amount of milk de-
livered at the creameries fell off ten
per cent. In the same time the milk
from our own herd decreased 81 per
cent, and continued to decrease un-
til it had reached so per cent. 1t
then took the COWS month to get
back to where they were before the
rain. The week of the storm and that
following, two of the six cows had
sugar bcets in addition to their pas
turc. During these two weeks the
four COWS having pasture alone fell
Oft 46 per cent. in amount of butter
fat given, while the two having beets
fell off only 20 per cent. Here is
to be noted not only the effect of the
storm, but the effect of feed as well;
the cows having sugar beets during
the storm falling off less than half
as much in their butter fat as did
those on pasture alone.

HANDY MILK CABINET.
4 Little Convenience Which In Sure
s" to Pay for Itself Within
Short Space of Time.

When milk is kept in cellar there
is much time taken in running up
and down stairs. I have found that
at some seasons cream kept in a cell
lar is very difficult to churn, nelth-
er is the butter good when it does
come. So I think milk receptacle
upstairs would be far better. Around
almost any farm will be some good
lumber. or perhaps there might be
some unused outbuilding that will
answer the purpose. Whatever be
the style, shape or size, construct
the cabinet against the house, leav-
ing door at the junction. From the
outside have another door leading

The quantity of cheese exported
from the United States in 1901
showed decrease as compared with
like exports in 1870, of over 80 per
cent; the quantity exported from
Canada, on the other hand, showed
the remarkable increase, as compared
with 1870, of over 1900 per cent.
Moreover, the conditions of the ex-
port trade in this product in the
United States in late years show lit

No Money In Poor Cows,

The poor farmer sticks to the poor
COW and imagines that he is making
money out of her. Fortunately for
that kind of COW, the said kind of
farmer has strong magination-one
that does not have to have factsto build
upon. If the farmer got to demanding
proofs of the value of his poor COW,
it would be the end of the COW. It is a
pity that more farmers are not of
judicial turn of mind. If about half of
the cows of the country were turned
into COW beef it would be better for
the farmers.-Farmers' Review.
