Summer Treatment. — From the last of May to the first of 

 November, milking begins at 5 A. M. and 6.30 P. M., and 

 with new milch cows giving a heavy flow, I make a practice 

 of milking three times a day. The food during this time is 

 pasture, with two quarts of meal (corn ground with cob), 

 and after the first of August a feed of fodder corn morning 

 and nisrht. 



Winter Treatment. — From the first of November to the 

 last of May, milking begins at 5 A. M. and 6 P. M. ; after 

 milking in the morning, the cows in milk are given two quarts 

 of meal and two quarts of shorts ; after they have eaten that, 

 they are given a feed of good hay ; after eating the hay they 

 are watered. They have been carded, cleaned and bedded 

 meanwhile. At noon they are given the same quantity of 

 grain, excepting the heifers with first calf, which have grain 

 but once a day ; after eating the grain they are given a feed 

 of corn fodder, cut up and mixed with hay. Watered at 4 

 o'clock. After milking at night they are given a feed of 

 mangolds and turnips, or mangolds alone. After eating 

 the roots they are given a feed of corn fodder ; they are then 

 left for the night.
