which would otherwise go towards increasing 

 the milk flow. 



On the other hand a higher temperature

 more milk of a better quality will be obtained. 

 Cows should be turned out every day, all 

 through the winter, for a longer or shorter 

 period according to the weather. This will 

 slightly lower the milk yield, but the above 

 remarks on the subject of temperature apply 

 here also with regard to the increased
