THE COW AGAIN. 



Me.ssrs. Editors : — In the June nninber of the 

 Farmer is an article of mine, asking Mr. WRioirr to 

 travel to Covert, and see a cow of mine thiit can fill 

 two ten quart pails at one milking-, which he has not 

 even noticetl ; but " S. W." says that Joseph 

 Wright must have some better evidence of a forty 

 quart cow, before he iro?s to Coveit with hi.-; S.)00. 

 Nov.', Messrs. Eilitur.s nl! 1 askel wa.s for him to 

 come and see for himself, and not take any state- 

 ments of mine. As he is a man of so much travel 

 and practice, 1 supposed that he would have taken 

 that little trouble. But no ; all his attention is paid 

 to Mr. Johnson's dry cow — offeringf to bet otie 

 hundred dollars that his Waterloo cow will out-milk 

 her. Now, sirs, I am not a betting man : but I will 

 •' stump'" the county, Waterloo and all, and the Slate 

 too, to out-milk my cow. As he has not noticed ray 

 article, we tliink him inclined to back out of the ^OU 

 operation. I now inform Mr. W. that I am not 

 anxious to part with my cow, as she still siistnin.s 

 'the facts stated. Unr" of the pails that 1 milk her in 

 holds ten and the other thirteen quarls. by actual 

 measurement. I should have b?en happy to have 

 seen Mr. Wright at my house, and wo>ild have wel- 

 comed him while he stayed. Wm. Henry Smith. —

Wintering Stock. — .Mrssrs. Editnrs — It is now 

 a good time to provide for wintering' calves and colts. 

 The way I do is to build a small slack of hay. aho'it 

 one and a half tons, around a small tree or large p.)le 

 set firmly in the ground. In this way the stack can 

 not fall over on them. It affords a gixid shelter frinii 

 storms anil cold, and they will waste but very a lillU" 

 or none. Winter before last I had one colt and one 

 calf. 1 put them to a small otack whi^ii winter sol 

 in. They agreed very well ; and in the spring thi'v 

 came out in good condition, without grain. Tiiere 

 should always be open or running water at haul.
