Caring for the Dairy Cow. Twice each day the 

 dairy cow is driven to the barn to be milked, and 

 the more milk she gives to each pound of food, the 

 more valuable she is (Fig. 16). In order to give 

 an abundance of milk, she must have the best of 

 care and food, and kind treatment; and she must be 

 milked at regular hours. She should have water 

 and plenty of good fopd at every meal time.
