Overlooking the dairy COW has diff

cow has been overfed, writes III. @.
Van Pelt in Jersey Bulletin. In a gen.
eral way it may be said that the diges-
tive tract becomes weakened, the cow
sickens, rejects more feed, often fol-
lowed by impaction. and in some cases
is ruined forever even though she does
not die. More often, however, she re-
cuperates, but seldom, if ever, will
cow once Oyerfed have the strength
and power to digest and assimilate
food, and when subjected to heavy
feeding she will easily '.get overfed,"
refusing to eat, at which time she de-
creases in milk flow and becomes a

that rest and repose are necessary in
order to recuperate the vital powers.
Think for a moment of the supply Of
nourishment (Which means the giving
Of energy, or "the power Of doing
work. to any part. The. healthy frame
receives it's due quota of food materi.

of the store it originally possessed the

which authorizes the fresh supply.
