contented minds, and a little of the
right kind of feed goes a long way
toward bringing about this contented
state Of mind. Never clean the stables
just before milking. for 1t will stir up
tenfold worse odor than any feed
the cows will eat.
Surrounding conditions have much
to do with the milk-producing value of
any ration.
Dairy cows cannot make as good
use Of whole grain as they can Of
grain that has been ground.
In the generality of cases. heifers
with their first calf do not show as
high a test of butterfat as they do at
a more mature age.
A period Of rest before freshening
will usually produce a larger flow of
milk than where the animal is MIXED
close up to calving.
A man can better afford to sell but
ter at the cost of production than to
sell grain, that is, when the selling
price OF the butter includes the feeds
and labor at their market value.
