COWSHED HINTS.
THE MANAGEMENT OF COWS. ! The following points are emphasised, j in a departmental jHutnphfet 'on the f eeding and management of dairy cows:— Dairy cows should be fed and milked, with persistent regularity; avoid’ changing milkers; avoid any abnormal changes, and preserve quietude in all operations. Less feed is required in winter if artificial warmth is provided. Shelter or rug cows in winter. Stimulate the digestive functions of cows by giving them a variety of foods, and always give access to salt. Occasional changes of diet are useful, but should be effected gradually. Mixtures of concentrated, feeds are better than one, and are more economical. Reject all musty or mouldy food. Salfc licks, good water, clean, airy, well-lighted and well-drained sheds are desirable adjuncts to good food.
