Requirements
Successful Herd
of Dairy Cattle

One of the first requisites of a
steady milk flow is good cows. The
cows should be capable of heavy pro-
duction in winter as well as summer.
if given proper attention, ‘There may
be sume excuse for keeping poor: cows
in the summer time where psture is
not considered of value and any re-
turns from the cows “are profit,” but
winter feed coss money and a cow
Inust produce sufficient. milk to more
than pay fur their feed or else be sa-
eriticed,

Some system of breeding the cows
should be follewed so thet they will
not all freshen in the spring -and swm-
mer, ‘Lo keep up the milk supply. from
the duiry cows, a good percentage of
them must freshen in the fall. Many
of the cows muking the best records at
ihe present time freshen in the fall or
ently winter. By so| doing the bulk
of the milk is giveu at the time of the
year when heat and flies do not tend
to retard the production, and later,
‘when cows are, turned fo Brass, pro-
duction is given another impetus.
«nother yery important factor in
connection with the: milk yield is the
feeding. Some good cows capable of
high production do not. get the’ proper
feed in the fall and so ease off in their
milk flow. In the autumn, just be-
fore the pastures get dry, some stim-
ulating succulent feed should: be pro-
vided. This can be done by the use of
solling crops. Green. corn is excellent
pews and oats, roots, or any of the com-
mon soiling crops are good. For ease
of feeding and general results summer
Silage ts-very valuable for this pur-
Dose, If the cows have been receiy-
ing grain during the summer a. little
increase is advishle at this time Us-
ually it the cows are well fed in the’
late summer and earty fall they will

keep up in their milk flow during the
winter ‘Water, snlt and good feed are
necessary So

Dairy cattle will respond most rend-
ily to good trentment In their gener-
al management, too much. cannot be
done especially in the fall and winter
mouths They should be housed in
comfortable, but not necessarily elab-,
orate quarters. The barn should be
warm, well lighted and with plenty. of
