BETS AND CARROTS.
Both Are Excellent, Says Prof. Thomas

Feed.

A duiryman of Abbotsford, Mich.
is DESTROYS Of finding out the value of
sugar beets and carrots for dairy
COWS. He also asks for the experience
of others who have fed them.
Sugar beets mike an excellent food
for dairy cattle. but the cost of grow
ing than is more than the cost of
growing mangels, hence where roots
are grown for dairy cows. mangels
are usually preferred to sugar beets.
Tho tonnage of mangels liz consider

siderably less. For milk production.
the difference in value of the two is
not great. pound for pound. but the
value Of the sugar beet is more in

Carrots are excellent for mich COWS,
but tie same objection applies to
them that applies to the growing of
sugar beets, that is, the labor. AS with
beets, 1t takes much time to thin them
and also to harvest and store them

At the next corner two society flash

Water Cow. Often.

,ishe best practice is to let cows get
to the water as often as they like.
This Is not always practicable in win
ter, but they should be watered at
least twice d day. II the water is
warm, that is, heated SO that the chill
Is taken of. they will be glad to drink
twice daily. even during the coolest
If weather. There is now no ques-
ton as to the value Of warm water
for dairy cows. The animals drink
more, the production of milk is not
checked by the animal being COM
PEELED to drink ice water, and the re-.
turn at the pail is much greater than
when heating Of water Is neglected.
