WINTER DAIRY HINTS

Results at the 0, A. College.
(CztribUted by Ontario Department of
Agriculture,Toronto.)
HE Whole que4ion of winter
care of dairy cattle raa.y be
summed up in one word -
comfort. In order to obtain
ads, the cattle require a, comfortable, -
clean, well-ventileted,
stable. The stalls, where animals are
tied, should be of proper width and
length to accommodate them without
discomfort; and also be so con-
structed as toireep them clean with-
out too much ,labor on the part a
the person in charge. Plenty of bed,
4 ding is needed, and an absorbent
sueli as cut straw, shavings or saw -
oust, to take up the Iiquies which
cause so ro.ucb dirt and discomfort
to lett animals and attendants. A
cement gutter behind the animals
hat:ng the retraired amount of air -
sorbing raaterial placed in it &lily,
after cleaning the stable, is the best
plan of keeping stable and cattle
clean. If there be some shavings,
sawdust or line straw scattered along
the passage behind_ the cows, it as-
sists in cleanliness and lessens labor.

The natural feed of cows is grass:
The feeder of caws never goes far
astray if the winter ration is made,
so far as possible, similar to that of
grass. This is got by using silage and
roots, mixed with the dry, bulky
fodders, like straw and clover hey.
The mixing may be done by the feed-
er, if he has time to do so; or, it
may be done by the cow before and
after eating. The cow carries a won-
derful mixing apparatus in her store-
' ace, and eo far as this part of eeed-
ing is concerned, she can da the
necessary work of mixing feeds. Mix -
).ng before feed is given to the cow,
often adds to its palatability and
hence asually pays.
In addition to the succulent ande
dry bulky feeds mentioned, a pow
giving milk requires a certain
amount of concentrated feed in the
form of meals, such a ground oats,
oata and barley, Wheat bran, oil -cake,
or cottonseed maal. Standard Dairy
Feed tins the bill excellently in this
regard.

Corafort, cleanliness, sueculent
feed, aleng with a reasonable amount
of eancentyates, and plenty of water
and fresh, pure air, are the main
thiags required by animals giving
milk in winter.-Prpf. H. H. Dean,
