A. They are cut with knives or chopping knives 

 or better still with an instrument called a root- 

 cutter. 



Q. Do you think it is very important to feed the 

 cows once a day on vegetables ? 



A. Yes, it is very important. This meal composed 

 of vegetables is the surest means of keeping the cows 

 in good health, without taking into account the 

 fact that cows give more milk and retain it much 

 longer. 



Q. What do you mean by the words : to keep 

 the cows in a state of cleanliness ? 



A. I mean that the cows should be cleaned every 

 day and have enough room in the stable to breathe 

 pure air and that they should be curried now and 

 then. 



Q. Is it important to milk the cows carefully ? 



A. Yes, care must be taken to strip the bag com- 

 pletely, because if the least quantity of milk were 

 left in it, the yield would greatly diminish ; they 

 should also be milked at regular hours, always be 

 treated with kindness, quietly, and be kept in a 

 state of extreme cleanliness.

 dian swine ?
