The Huron Expositor, 1876-03-10, Page 6• Good viii.Bad 00w8 - It has often leeen a cause of astonish- ment to me why so many farm,ers, that are pretty smart in things generally re- lating to their profession, seem to iise no care or judgment in selecting and caring for their mil& cows. 1 remember hear, ing a story to the effect that Washington kept no cows, and did not make enough butter for family use. I suspect Aunt Chloe and Uuncle Joe could have told why. I know of some people who oueht to have butter to use and to sell, judging from the number of cows they niilk ; yet they do not—and why is it? The answer may be briefly summed as follows: Poor stock, poor feed, no care in keeping their cows from the storms and cold of winter. The difference between a good and poor cow is not generally appreciated, and the market price generallydetermines the amount of milk a cow ought to give,which is a poor way of estimating her value. My father once bought four_ cows, for which he paid $5, $8, $12, and $15 --in all $40. He put them in charge of a Ger- man, who returned one-half the net pro- fits, so that they cleared themselves the first year, and did better every year for four years, when they were sold- for $160 —all on account of good care, feeding, and warm winter quaters. My own experience is that two cows, well fed and cared for, serve us as well as four formeily did,cared for as cows usually are. Besides, I now save the care and capital invested in two cows, and at least the feed of one. It will take two cows half cared for to produce as much butter as one wel eared for at double the expense, and certainly ruinous to the farmer. It is evidently a fact that, sooner or later'the American farmer will learn to produce more or less expense. The interest now being taken by the best and most prundent and think- ing farmers throughout the country, is one of the most cheering signs that an un- proved and better grade of mileh cows is to take the place of the common scrub stock that his so long held a prominent place in the American family dairy. The Jersey and Alderney are fast displacing the common stock of milkers, and our prominent stock raisers are deserving of the gratitude of every intelligent farmer, for the great benefit they have conferred on the people of America, be they produc- ers or consumers. —Frank Lee, in Rural erable portion of do well in any of modation ; but if. be humane A8wet them brushe al It -intuit be re confined cann and that theyie effects of air at' these circum ta and especialty w in byres, di brushing and 'le tion to the s strongly enfoi Gazette, Winter Cows— In the first to be provide ed byres, co should be ke to prevent d the system; liberally and cows in milk .should, there care and tre Their feeclin should be do same order, same individ and all to t hedeltng, Cattle will hese forms of ikccom- ied up in byres it will an profitable to have currycombed daily, ed that animals thus k or °rub :themselves, rived of the cooling ain.
