The Stalled Cow.

Somehow many dairymen have
reached the wrong conclusion when
reading of dairy farms where the COWS
are stall-fed the year round. 1t by no
means is intended that the COWS shall
lave Ito outdoor exercise; OIL the con-
trary, except for cows that are on
pasture entirely during the summer,
few COWS are more intelligentIy exer-
cised and proper ventilation furnished
them than stall-fed animals properly
brought up. At regular hours the COWS
are turned into %commodious barnyards
for air and exercise. During the win
ter this outdoor exercise is as carefully
looked after as during the summer,
and, in the majority of cases, the COWS
occupy only sleeping hours and milking
hours in their separate stalls. the bal
ance of the time being spent in large
sheds.
Don't be afraid of the fresh air for
your animals during the winter; see.
that they have all the outdoor exercise
the weather will permit, but more than
all, see that the stables are properly
ventilated and aired. There are a num-
Der of devices for this purpose, and
n of the best of them is the win
dow frame covered with muslin.
Remember that close confinement
and foul air p~redispose the cow to
tuberculosis, and that fresh air and
plenty of it will enable her to do her
share. not only as a milk producer.
but as a Observation-Disclosures News.
