The direct influence OF what the COW
eats and drinks cannot be too strong
ly impressed upon the minds Of feed
ers.
One OF the greatest mistakes dairy
men make, is, supposing they can win
ter their cattle on poor fodder. and
have them pick up and milk as
well alb ever when turned out to pas
ture in the spring.
The cows udder is Of special impor-
lance It should be large and its skin
thin. The cows digestive organs
should be strong and energetic to
make an abundance OF good blood,
which in turn, stimulates the action
of tho nervous system and furnishes
the milk with the means of large
production.
1t is impracticable to establish any
system of feeding, whereby each COW
will receive the same amount of feed
The capacity OF each COW must govern
the amount of nourishment she re
ceives.
