Dairy Cows Require
Warm Water in Winter
Proper Supply Should Re-
ceive Attention.

prepared by the United States Department,
OF AgrlcultuTeJ
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 hu-
man consumption or be dangerous to
the COW herself
During the winter, says the United
States Department of Agriculture,
when cows are stabbed the greater part
Of the time. they should be watered
two or three times day unless ar
rangements have been made to keep
water before them at all times. The
water should, II possible be 15 de-
grees to 90 degrees above the freez-
Ing point, and should be supplied at
practically the same temperature ev
cry day. When water well above
freezing temperature is stored in tanks
and pIped directly to the COW, there is
probably little occasion for facilities
to warm 1t. When 1t stands in tank
in which Ice often forms, it Is usually
well to warm 1t slightly. This can be
done by a tank heater, by live steam,
or by hot water from boiler If n
boiler is used for running separator
or for heating water to wash and sterI-
lize utensils. steam from 1t can read

Important That Ram Be
Thrifty and Vigorous

1 make it point to see that the
ram is thrifty, vigorous, and not over
fat at mating time. If the ram Is too
fat, he will be clumsy, slow, and
likely to prove impotent.
The mating season is strenuous for
the ram, and he must be in the best
physical condition. This requires that
he have plenty of exercise; regular
supply of salt and fresh water; "A suit

corn, oats and wheat bran.
We often find that ram which did
excellent service one year Will not al

must have first-hand knowledge of
the condition of the head of the flock

Selecting Evergreens

Right Kind of Care of
Stock in Winter Urged

FOR the most part, the principal OBJ
Ject In keeping live stock on farm in
winter Is to have it available to utilize
grass in summer" says Prof. w. A.
Peters, chief of the division of animal
husbandry of the University of Mime
sofa. AT least 1t may he said that the
cheapest gains made by live stock of
any Kind on the farm are the gains
ihade from grass. On many farms
whatever profit there is in live stock
comes from the cheap summer gains
made from the pastures. Looking at
the problem Of winterlng stock from
this angle it is readily seen that the
principal object must be to winter the
nerds as cheaply as possible and yet
avoid losses and keep the breeding
animals and the young growing stock
IN thrifty condition so that they will
be IN shape to go on pasture in the
spring and utilize grass to the best
possible advantage.
Too high an overhead expense in
| buildings, labor and feed has been the
cause of failure of live stock to show
a profit on many farms. On the other
hand, too low an expenditure and too
little effort and too little attention to
the stock in winter has also often re-
suited in failure. There is n happy
medium between these two extremes.
This happy medium Is found where
animals are so housed as to be kept
comfortable, yet allowing of their be-
Ing handled with n minimum of labor; /;
where feeds suitable to the wintering
Of the stock have been grown upon the
farm and are supplied to the animals
with regularity and in the proper
| amounts required to attain the object
in view. Such matters as providing
bedding, keeping sleeping quarters
clean and sanitary, supplying water in
such way that animals can drink
without risk of falling and hurting
themselves or without being chilled
by drinking from an ice-covered tank,
seeing that animals inclined to take
too little exercise, such as brood sows,
growing pigs and breeding ewes, are
compelled to take the necessary exer
cise-all these items and many more
similar in character must be studied
and worked out ever with the idea of
holding down wintering costs and yet
avoiding shrinkage or loss of animals
in so far as it is possible to accomplish
this

Lack of Exercise Cause
of Weak Pigs at Birth

Baby pigs, like most ether animals,
are subject to numerous troubles at
birth. A little knowledge of how to
prevent and treat their troubles may
save many who might otherwise die,
according to Harry B. Rowland, of the
animal husbandry department, at the
New Jersey State College of Agricul-
ture.
One of the most common causes of
weak pigs at birth is lack of exercise
Of both the sire and dam previous to
the breeding time, or of the mother
before the pigs are born. Weak pigs
are easily chilled and usually die if
exposed to the changing weather which
this month usually brings. At birth,
such troubles as navicular diseases or
navel infection and diarrhea (scours),
either non-infectious or infectious,
often cause heavy losses.
The navel cord should be swabbed
with tincture of Iodine at birth to
prevent infection later.
Diarrhea is usually treated indi-
rectly through the mother by flushing
out her system with physic such as
epson salts. or by adding small
amount of linseed oil meal to her ra-
ton.
At all times during the sucking
period the mother should be fed clean,
wholesome food ina clean trough, and
as well should be kept in warm, clean
pen. Then most of the trouble at far
rowing time will be avoided. and more
pigs will be saved.
