CARE OF THE COW."
Best Results Obtained by Kind Treat
ment and Regularity In Feeding.
The herd as a whole should be moved
slowly. They should never be hurried,
writes E. K.. Slater in Northwestern
Agriculturist. The cross dog should
either be dead or chained. The dairy
man who has learned "to handle his
cows so that they are fond of him and
are pleased to have him come around
has learned one of the most valuable
lessons that it is possible, for him to
learn.' .'
The most successful dairymen are in
timately: acquainted-witl* every cow in.
their herd. The same affection that
prompts the mother cow to do all she
can for her calf will prompt her to do
all she can for her owner. Scientific in
vestigations have proved the truth of
this statement.
Each cow should have a name which
should always be spoken when she is
approached. T'» kindly word: spoken
to a Cow, supplemented by kindly
treatment In general, will accomplish
wonderful results.
Coupled with the kindly tre'atrne^f 'of
the cow is regularity In feeding and
milking. She will learn to look for her
feed and water and to be milked at
just such a time each day and will be
contented if she is not disappointed.
Careful experiments have demonstrat
ed that a very common cow will pro
duce quite satisfactory results when
properly cared for. A ...)od rule for
the dairyman to follow is fo mqke ev
ery cow in the herd do the best that
she is capable of doing, whether she
be a common cow or a special dairy
cow.
Water in stagnant ponds is not fit for
the stock, and-tlie pasture should be
drained so that such conditions are not
possible^ if it is not convenient to do:
this, the pond should be fenced. Pure
well water or running water should
be supplied in the^ pasture. Plenty of
salt should also-be provided.
The Ftnlis .mid fastenings should be
so arvanged- ds to permit freedom of
movement fof the cow and to provide
for her cleanliness.. Proper drainage
Is absolutely necessar^ and danger?
oiw, slippery gangways, etc., should be
a voided. A rra ngenjent for feeding and
milking should be so planned as to
be accomplished with-,as little disturb
ance as possible."
