Warm Water for Cows.

Dairy farmers often fail to supply
their COWS enough water during fall
and winter months. This is especially
true of cows giving large amounts Of
milk. The Missouri Experiment Sta.
ton has found that two dairy cows
used only one-fourth to one-fifth as
much water when dry as when in
milk. One COW giving over 100 pounds
of milk daily used as high as 2,6O1
pounds of water daily. Cows in milk
should not be forced to suffer expo
sure to obtain drink of icy water,
as they will not drink enough to pro-
duce the milk they are capable of
yielding under more favorable circum-
stances. Cows may be induced to
drink more water if it is warmed to
about so degrees F. and if they have
access to it at least twice day.
