Expensive Economy.

The question rs to the best amount
Of grain to feed cow has been in re
view at the Vermont experiment sta
ton for four years. and the conclusion
reached, broadly stated, is the more
grain the more milk, total solids and
fat. The gains averaged 10 per cent
when the four pound ration replaced
the two pound feed and about IS per
cent when the eight pound was used in
lieu Of the two pound ration. 1t also
appeared that a slight lowering of the
quality Of the milk if not caused by at
least accompanied the use Of a very
low grain ration.
1t seems fair to conclude that in
these trials the restriction Of the grain
ration to two pounds was made at the
expense of the animals well being and

Cleaning the Cow.

To clean the COW carefully is as good
for her general physical well being as
for the protection and purity Of the
milk. The card or the currycomb thor
oughly but gently applied will remove
all coarse dirt, straw or other matter

eventually find its way into the pail
Aside from carefully cleaning the COW

Immediately surrounding the udder and

a damp cloth. This had best be done
just before the milking begins. as IL

may still remain after carding and
dampen that which is not removed so
that it will not fall into the milk pail.

bottom is made out Of eight inch or ten
inch plank and is boarded up on the
