good herdsmen' have little trouble in
performing the task II 1t Is gone at
properly.
II the COW is hard to dry off the
first thing to do is to change the
feed. II she Is on pasture getting
good green feed, lock her up in n
dry feed lot for a few days, take her
green feed away from her and milk
her at irregular intervals. If, in the
winter when cows are in the barn
all tho time. the first thing to do is
to take away the grain. Change the
hay ration from alfalfa to timothy or
some other food that Is not so palat'
able and milk at irregular interv ais
With cows that are only producing

is not necessary generally to do any
thing with them except stop milking

With cows that are producing as
