Plenty of Water Needed
for Higher Production

An Iowa dairyman whose COWS have
been making one OF the best milk and
butterfat records in the state at.
tributes no small share OF his success
to the use OF individual drinking cups
In his barn. The drinking cups were
Installed about n year ago and the
daiFyman says he noticed from the
first the good effect the handy drink
ing system had on the milk yield.
He uses one cup for two COWS. hav-
Ing II attached to the feeding rack
Just between each two stanehions. A
large tank Is up against the ceiling In
one end Of the barn. This Il filled
from the well BY an electrically OPP
Grated pump The water flows on a
plate 10 the cup. a valve opens. When
the pressure Is released. the valve
closes and water stops flowing. The
cows very quickly learn to use them,
the dalryman says.
Since the cups let the cows water
themselves, they are q great labor
saving device. But that Is not all. "Tf
you want to get high production from
COWS" the dairyman says, you must
see that they get plenty OF water.
With the drinking cups right at their
heads all the time they are 10 the
barn. COWS drink much more than
they would II they were regularly wa
tered, or had to go to a tank to drink.
You would be surprised to see how
often they take sip at the drinking
cup. Taking just a little sip that
way every now and then. they drink
much more in the course Of a day
then they would otherwise. Another
thing. with the tank up near the cell

VACATION FOR COW
FOUND PROFITABLE

Experiments have shown beyond a
reasonable doubt that It does not pay
to milk a cow continuously right up
to the day Of her freshening. Almost
any good COW can give milk right up
TO the day her calf is born but II il
q better and more profitable practice
to dry her up several weeks before
this. This rest that the COW gets be-
fore her calf comes enables her to
produce much more milk after freshen-
Ing and puts her In q good strong con-
dition TO Withstand the strain Of
heavy milking period without 80 much
danger Of sickness and weakening Of
her constitutional vlgor. Continuous
milking up to freshenlng time UNI
doubtedly tends to reduce cows pro-
ductive life. Generally II pays to dry
up a eew from six to ten weeks before
her calf Is expected to be born.
Some heavy producing COWS are not
easy to dry up. But It Is always pos
slble TO dry COW up wltbln a period
Of from two to three weeks by cutting
uVNA ou tht utuouHt VI kfHiu VI tucut
feed and green feed and by milking
her less frequently and by falling TO
remove all the milk from her udder.
Do this gradually and get the milk
lngs farther and farther apart until
she is giving only a quart or two Of
milk daily.
AS soon as COW Ii dry she should
be given all the rough feeds she needs
to get her in good sappy condition be
fore calvlng. It is not necessary or
advisable to feed dry COW heavily
on grain or meal feeds. A COW should
be fat but not overly fat when her
calf comes
Do not let a COW go INBRED too long
after calving II does not pay. II ls
recommended that a COW be bred be
tween one and four months after calv-
ing. Failure to breed a COW promptly
results In financial loss and In soma
cases long-delayed breeding Is thought
to result In the cows becoming bar

Education Is Object.
The object of this concerted move.
ment is to educate the people of the
United States to the fact that Wash.
ington Is voteless-a fact that but
few realize, according to H. J. Oden.
thai. executive secretary of the City
Club. Thousands Of intelligent citi.
zens outside the Capital know little
about the people or the affairs of the
District. and think of Washington
only as the home Of Congress and a.
mecca for sight-seers. Mr.. Odenthal
points out.
Many Of our countrymen are of
the opinion that Washingtonians en-.
JOY the same privileges ofe suffrage
others enjoy. Others, aware of our
voteless condition. do not know it is
necessary to obtain a constitutional
amendment to give us the franchise.
1t Is the intention of the City Club to
bring these points home to the citi.
Zens-to make them understand that
the question of suffrage for the Dis
trlct is in their hands,"
