Mako tho Cows Comfortable.

MAKO tH0 AOW0 AOHIOTtaDlGs
Most farmers think they know how
to care for their cows without the ad-
vice Of anyone, and the majority Of
them do give them food and shelter,
but there are many more little COM
forts which cost but a trlfie, but which
go far toward increasing the value Of
the milk production. Sunshine, what
little there is in winter, is az welcome
to animals as to the human family,
and the man who will contrlve to give
his cows all the sunshine possible will
have etter-natured cows and more
milk. Then see to 1t that all cracks
and crevices through which drafts of
air can come are closed. 1t 10 not
meant that ventilation be dispensed
with by any means. but simply that
drafts are shut out. Make the beds
heavy with straw and keep the stalls
clean; then with a well-ventilated and
sunny stable and something to chew
on between regular meals, the COW
will be happy and comfortable. and
will surely repay you BY fuller milk
pail.

In Great Britain has decreased about
thirteen per cent as compared with

decrease in acreage. A part of the
land withdrawn from wheat and bar

is the lowest recorded since the Official

fruits, flowers and vegetables, while
other areas have been turned into
