cow DESERVES REST
AND AMPLE FEEDING
Recommendation of Dairy De-
partment of the New Jersey
Experiment Station.

The dairying department of the New
Jersey agricultural experiment station
recommends that the dairy farmer
should remember to give his cows
rest of six weeks or more before they
freshen this fall. Some cows may
maintain a good flow of milk right up
to calving time, and in such cases the
dairyman hesitates to dry them off
for a rest period of several weeks.
This should be done, however, and the
COW well fed so that she will be in
good flesh when she freshenS. The
work of producing heavy yield of
milk for ten months or year is
severe drain upon the cows strength
and vitality, and a period of rest
should be given her to recuperate and
prepare for another lactation period.
If she finishes her milking period quite
thin in flesh she should be given a
longer dry period and more literally
fed. The loss of what milk the COW
might produce during the dry period
will be made up several times over by
an increased yield during the follow
ing lactation period. A good rest and
liberal feeding preceding the date of
calving helps largely to bring about a
good yield during the following year.
