to the Terps' win. Bartko aided
his own cause with a home run

His homer in the sixth, with two

Jim Kinney started for the
Hoyas and hurled shutout ball

Water Consumption
Has Bearing On
Milk Production

The amount Of water dairy cat
tie drink has lot to do with how
much milk they produce.
Dairy husbandmen at VPI say
tests have shown that providing
water by means of automatic
drinking cups. SO animals have
free access to water, increases the
milk yield Of high producing
COWS about 4 per cent over
watering twice daily; and to IL
per cent over watering once daily
This isn't hard to understand
when you consider that milk IS
81 per cent water. Including both
the water in the feed and the
water which is consumed as such.
COWS will take in about 3.5 to 5 5
pounds OF water per pound Of
milk produced High protein
feeds increase water consumption
somewhat. From u to Is gallons
per head daily is an average
amount for herd, including both
COWS in milk and dry cows. How
eyer, COWS producing rs to 100
pounds of milk a day may drink
80 to 40 gallons of water daily.
The specialists say further that
the use of automatic drinking
cups save labor and help provide
a more sanitary supply of water
to the herd A small. slow NOV
ing stream is a potential source
of organisms such as those which
cause blackleg. enthras, and bru-
celloSiS.
Water plays an important role
IN the barn and milk room, too
TO produce high quality milk the
udder Of the COW, the person do
ing the milking. and all the milk
ing equipment must be clean This
means using a lot Of hot water
A study was made at VpI or
the amount Of hot water used IN
the barn and milk house for the
various operations in producing
high quality milk The tota
amount used at one milking per
/ iod varied from 36 gallons foI
4 15-coW diaries to so gallons fol
30-cow diaries. The length Of time
/ the water was used during milk
ing varied from ~ to 3 hours
Most Of the milk on farms is cool
ed by water, 50 this increases still
