Large Producing Cows Must Be Han

The customary method of drying of
the average dairy COW is simply to
omit every other milking until the milk
flow diminishes and then skip still
more milkings till It: stops entirely.
says the Farm aud Fireside. Some
times the process will require two or.
three weeks. but usually less. A cow
producing less than ten pounds OF
milk daily may be dried off any time
without injurious results simply by
stopping milking.
I High producing cows are more diff
cult to handle In this respect. and some
dairymen claim it is impossible to get
their best cows to 60 dry. The first
step to dry off an animal producing
twenty pounds Of milk Il day or moe
is to change the feed. If she is on pas
ture remove her to dry feed lot II

succulent feed. In winter time take
away the grain.

Black Nosed Guernseys.

The black nose of a Guernsey does
not indicate impure breeding. There
are many splendid pure bred Guern-
seys with black noses A few of the
Guernsey breeders make considerable
objection to Guernseys having black
noses. It is rather a foolish fad that
Guernsey breeders must contend with.
There was time when it was held
that the Jersey must have black
tongue and black switch, but this
fad has passed, and we hope that the
black nose willreceive less attention in
the future than 1t has in some instances
n the past.-Hoard's Dairyman.
