1t is very important that the
? water drunk by the COWS giving
, three or more gallons of milk
daily he warmed to about 60 f..
|, Otherwise the cows will not drink
as much as they need to keep up "A
good milk flow. 1t does not take
much ice water to chill a thin
l tieShed COW thru and thru on a
cold winter day,especially when
2 she is compelled TO walk some dis
tance through the snow or a cut
f ting wind to get to the tank or
+ pond. Experiments made at the
i Missouri Station show that drink
ing water is needed in proportion
g to the milk yield That is. a COW
+ giving six gallons of milk a day
needs about twice as much water
as a cow giving three gallons a
. day. If the water is too cold to
be comfortable if drunk in large
4 quantities, the COW will not drink
enough and as a result will drop
n considerable in her milk Weld

milk each day last winter she

., water. Imagine how she would
4 have suffered if that had been ice
water, 1t was warmed. however,
o and Josephine did not chill after
r drinking A good tank heater, or
some other device should he nsed
this winter to warm the water fol
e the cows. It win pay.
