cows THAT ARE MILKED BV HAND 207 



When cows come in heat and are at Hberty they 

 should be removed from the herd as soon as this is 

 known, and should be kept apart until the period of heat 

 is over. This is necessary because of the disturbance 

 which their presence gives to other cows in the herd, 

 resulting, for the time being, in diminished milk yield. 



It is important that a careful record shall be kept 

 of the time of the service. Without such a record the 

 dairymen cannot know when to begin the drying process, 

 nor when to begin such modifications in the food given 

 as may be for the benefit of the cows during the period 

 of rest.
