DISEASES OF CATTLE

Small figures refer to month of milking period. 



Attention is called to the fact that cows 143, 144, 145 and 146 

 were kept in the open stable during the winter of 1908-9, but were 

 milked in the closed stable. By this arrangement the cows spent the 

 night in the open stable and were brought into the warm closed stable 

 early in the morning to be grained and milked. They averaged about 

 2 1 /2 hours in the warm stable in the morning after which they were 

 again placed in the open stable. In the afternoon they averaged 

 about 1V2 hours in the closed stable, before returning to the open 

 stable for the night. This unnatural and sudden change of tempera- 

 ture, probably had some effect in keeping their milking record lower 

 for the winter than they would have shown, had they been confined 

 in either one or the other of the stables regularly.
