DAIRY HERD IN WINTER
First Essential Is That Cows Be
Kept Comfortable.
RIqht Kind Of Feed Goes Long Way
Toward Bringing About contented

portant Factors.
CBy w. NJ. KELLY.)

Good stable management is an I'M
portant factor in determining the
profits from the dairy herd during the
winter. The first essential is that the
COWS be comfortable, because a COW
kept otherwise can never do her best.
: She must have a comfortable place
to lie down, stand up, move and
stretch her limbs and lick herself all
over the body. She must have sup
shine and plenty of light. She must
have pure air to breathe, and this
means that the stable must be pro-
vided with some system OF ventila-
ton to give a frequent change OF air.
This need not be expensive. only q
little forethought and few dollars
worth of material and labor. She
must have good pure water at least
twice a day, or better still. have an
automatic water basin at her side.
The stable should be cleaned daily.
and be thoroughly disinfected. The
ceiling, floor and sides should be all
smooth and of concrete construction,
and the fixtures largely iron. 1t is not
expensive, and they are sanitary and
permanent.
Large. smooth concrete hangers for
feeding are about the best we know
Of today, Judgment and common
sense must be exercised in the meth
DDS of feeding and handling the cows.
Fixed rules in feeding are not prac-
teal.
Overlooking is wasteful; underfeed-
ing is Improbable. The cows must be
well nourished at all times, but II
given more than they need for main
tenance and production, they waste

is sure TO get into the milk.
Whether to feed the cows just be-
fore milking is much debated ques-
ton. 1t is not at all dangerous to
feed them a little grain, provided you
stir up no dust or disagreeable odors.
AS a rule, the cows will give down
their milk more freely when they have

The publicity bureau State Demo-

ing observations: How it hits Au-
drain. Audrain county voters will
better grasp Lamm's charge of
Democratic extravaganza" when
they rember that in 1915 this county
paid into the State treasury the sum
of $22,SO4.56 and drew out of the
State treasury the sum of $23,2S6.16
thus showing a clear profit to Au-
drain county in the sum of $477.6 so
from this riot of Democratic extrav-
agance." But Audran county does
not care very much about Lamm,
anyway. There were 3.71S votes cast
by the people of Audrain county in
the State primary and only 800 OF
these votes were for Lamm.
