WHEAT FLOUR FOE COWS.
A dairyman writes to an English journal :—' I know of 110 better food for dairy cows than wheat flour, and have often used it when wheat was twice its present price.' Moreover, he asserts that 71b or Blb of wheat per cow when in full milk would cause her to yield moro milk and richer cream than ' the same value of cake ' would do. A North of England farmer, who grows one hundred, acres of wheat, and milks between sixty and seventy big cows, was persuaded by him to givo wheat to his cows instead of selling it, and the best results ensued. The North of England farmer last year gave nearly the whole of his wheat either to his cows, or to pigs, or mixed wi'li oats for horses, and all his animals did well on it.
