WASHINGTON LETTER


reference was made to the pro
position as a whole. 1t brought
some bitterness to the surface as
several other Senators were hold
ing their places on gubernatorial
warrent and not by the express
wish of the voters. In these
days of direct primaries it is one
thing to obtain an appointment
through political methods but
another matter to get the votes
at elections. :.
Usually a governor, looking to
higher posts at the gift of the
people of the commonwealth,
will name a Senator to succeed. to
a vacancy, who in exchange for
the great favor, will agree
not to oppose the donor in
the primaries. Sometimes a
S hort term makes the in
cumbent ambitious to re-
tain the position even to the ex-
tent of locking horns with the
sponsor. As one-third of the
Senate membership will b e
changed at the fall elections,
both parties are out to gain con-
troll of the Upper Chamber.
Not a day passes without some
body dragging out the mooted
question of trusts and trust
busting. Somehow the hue
and cry in Congress falls flat this
season for the public takes the
agitation for what it is worth.
Then, too, the Federal govern
ment is not backward in monopo-
lizing certain industrial fields so
that officials, if they are consis-
tent, are obliged to wink one eye
and close the other.
The Department of Commerce
has much to say about foreign
rubber trusts subsidized by their
governments; certain groups talk
of an aluminium combination in
restraint of trade; the farmers
are at odds over methods of mar
keting their products and the
relation of the government there
to. The price and supply of
coal does not seem to concern the
Congress or the Administration.
The tax bill is disputed holly but
the chances are that nobody, es-
pecially those seeking reelection,
will be as shortIsighted as to pro-
long the controversy. Taxes
are due March Is and conditions
as to rates are items felt by the
public not the free talk in the
Capitol.

WATER

place there. This heat must be
used up or taken care of In some
way. Much of this heat may
be used to heat all the water
that the cow drinks providing
that she don't have to drink her
daily requirement in one or two
waterings per day. If there is
a drinking cup close by so that
she may drink whenever she
wants to there is no feed wasted
or used to warm the water to
body temperature because little
is heated at a time at different
periods through the day. One
sometimes sees advertisements
of tank heaters where claims are
made that heating the water will
save on feed. This is true
where once a day watering is
practiced because some body fuel
must be burned to heat the large
volume of water to body temp
erature. Where regular twice
a day watering is practiced there
is less feed used because more
of the surplus heat from the di-
gestive organs may be utilized to
warm the water.
There are several methods of
watering mich cows around
Askov. One is to send them,
outside to an recovered tank
and let them drink their fill
This is a very poor way because
they are chilled both inside and
outside, even if a tank heater is
used to warm the water, little
can be said in favor of this
method. Another method is to
water the cows by letting them
drink from a tank in the barn,
this method is all right only it
takes more time and labor to do
it this way. Still another
method is to water the cows in
a trough in front of them. This
is very good method if the
trough is kept clean because
cows will not drink water as
readily from a dirty foul smell
ing, bad tasting container. 1t
is also very unhealthy for cows
to drink water from a dirty feed
trough. If any of the cows
have tuberculosis, there is great
danger of infection to the other
cows, by any of the above
methods, but the last mentioned
is the worst because it carries
the germs directly from the
diseased animals feeding place to
all the cows in the herd. There
is one method of watering, that
has all, and more advantages
than any of the above described
methods. 1t is really the only
right way to water mich cows,
this method is through the aid of
automatic drinking cups. When
cows are watered in this way
nearly all the trouble and work
common with other practices is
done away with, it is the most
sanitary method known, and it
gives the cows chance to drink
whenever they get thirsty, this
helps to cut the feed bill as the
water can be heated by the sur
plus heat caused by the fermen-
tations and breaking down of the
foods in the digestive tract.
Sometimes the claim is made that
cows will give more milk if they
are watered through the use of
drinking cups than if they are
watered twice a day. There is
some truth in this but the diff
ference is less than one is often
led to believe.

ALI animals must have shelter
food and water in order thai
they may live. The above three
requirements are in the control
of man, they may be adjusted
to the greatest possible comfort
of the animals, and to the
greatest profit to the caretakel
or owner.
Dairy cattle must have more
water in proportion to what
other animals require because the
product that they produce is
largely composed of water. Be.
cause dairy cattle require more
water than other animals one
might say that this is the most
important requirement and it is
really the cheapest thing that
one has to give to the COW
Even though this requirement
is cheap, many. farmers miss
many dollars of profit because
their cows do not get enough
water in localities or on farms
where cows have access to plenty
of pure water, either through
automatic drinking cups or by a
regular twice a day chore
(watering cows) by the one who
takes care IF them
There are several bad water
ing practices which are followed
more or less in every community
in which cows are kept. They
may be put down as follows: /.
Cows not watered regular. : 2.
Cows chilled while going out
to drink. -3. Cows do not
drink sufficient water. 4.
Drinking too much cold water
at one time. S. Extra feed
required to warm large volume
of water to body temperature.
If cows are not watered reg
ular one can not expect to get
the greatest possible return
from them. 1t is just as i'm
portant that the cows be
watered regular as it is that
they be fed, MIXED, groomed
and exercised at the same time
every day. Regularity" is one
of the golden rules in dairying.
Cows that have been chilled
at any time will not produce
their regular amount of milk
because chilling a cow tends
to disturb her nervous tempera-
ment this checking the cows
maximum flow of milk for sew
eral days. Cows that have been
sent out to drink on cold day
will not drink nearly enough
water because they do not like
to stand out in the cold long
enough to drink as much as they
should. Nearly everyone has
an uncomfortable
feeling after having swallowed
too much cold water. Sometimes
it even results in cramps or some
other internal disorder. If it
tends to have this effect on man
who only drinks small amount
of water at a time, because that
is all that he. needs, how much
worse may the effect of drinking
large amounts, somewhere be
tween 50 and 400 pounds of
water be on cow that has to
warm this large volume Of water
to body heat before normal di-
gestion can again take place?
Is it any wonder that cow will
sometimes get off feed when she
has to load up on ice cold water?
There is a large amount of sur
plus heat formed in the diges-
tive organs through the fermen-
tationS and other changes taking

While the idea of this Ordinance
