The dairy cow is the hardest' worked ,o£ all our domestic animals. ' Every year she gives from five to ten times her weight in milk, containing as .much actual dry matter as do -the bodies o£.two or three steers. When we consider that it requires approxi­ mately the same amount of energy to produce twenty pounds of milk ds it does to plow one acre-of land, we get a conception- of the enormous amount of work the cow does. . To produce' well, the cow must be' carefully fed. The annual loss to dairymen, and farmers resulting from feeding' an., unsuitable or insufficient ration Is quite large. One of the com­ mon mistakes is to neglect the cow late in lactation, for the amount of • feed required a t that tinie can not . be gauged entirely by tho milk flow. A cow should be turned dry six or eight weeks before ■ freshening, But i .just because' she is riot giving milk, is no sign, that she does net need food. - The common practice of feeding the dry cow on straw and corn Stover Is a very, bad O ub . She'requires rood not only to maintain her own body and restore her strength and vigor, but also to complete the development ‘ of the calf. As the animal body is made- UP almost entirely of protein, feeds rich in protein should be' fed at this time, if sufficient protein is not supplied in th e feed, the cow will use the tissues of her own body to build up the foetus, Then a t calving tlmc- ah® will be, poor and weak and In poor condition to start on her year's wOrkj and will not produce nearly as, well as though she had been given the proper care and allowed to store up strength, vigor and fat to use after freshening, 'Curing a year's work the digestive system of the cow is severely taxed. Between the time of drying off and coming fresh this should be given a rest, not by the starvation method, but by. the choice of spft easily di­ gested feeds that have a laxative ef­ fect. In the summer time nothing is better than the pasture grasses. How* ever, as it Is usually- managed on most farms, the cows freshen a t a period when good pasture is not ■available. In such a case succulent feeds; such as beets or corn silage, fed with clover or alfalfa hay and a suitable grain ration* form art excel­ lent substitute for grass. . The grain should consist of easily digested pro­ tein foods; such as- oil meal, bran and, ground oats. At present prices, oats should have a place in the ration of every dairy cow. Corn should he fed sparingly, As the time for freshening draws near, the cow should be carefully watched and care taken that oho . does not become constipated, If there is such a tendency, a good pur- » gative such as Glauber’s salts or Hn * Heed oil should he given. At this 5 time tho cow should not be exposed '• to cold draughts or given ice water J to drink. It will pay to take the chill i 1 f t « We have seized the opportunity to unload an unusually heavy stock while the season is still on^before it is Too Late.
