WATERING cows IN WINTER
Water Should Be Twenty Degrees
Above Freezing Point-AnimaIs
Need Ample Amount.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
All animals require plenty of good,
pure water. This is especially true Of
the milking cow, as water constitutes
more than three-fourths of the total
volume Of milk. The water supply,
therefore, demands the dairyman's
most careful attention. Stale or i'm
pure water is distasteful to the COW
and she will not drink enough for max
imum milk production. Such water
may also carry disease germs which
might make the milk unsafe for hui
man consumption or be dangerous to
the COW herself. During the winter,
when cows are stabbed the greater part
of the time, they should be watered
two or three times a day unless ar
rangements have been. made to keep
water before them at all times. The
water should, If possible, be Is or 20
degrees above the freezing point, and
should be supplied at practically the
same temperature every day. When
water well above freezing temperature
is stored in tanks and piped directly
to the cow, there is probably little oc-
casiOn for facilities to warm it. When
it stands in tank on which ice often
forms, 1t usually pays well to warm 1t
slightly. This can be done by tank
heater, by live steam, or by hot water
from a boiler. If a boiler is used for
running separator or for heating
water to wash and sterilize utensils.
steam from it can readily and cheaply
be used to warm the water.
