THE JERSEY, ALDERNEY AND GUERySEY COW, IO9 



turned out in the morning they had a similar feed. He 

 purposes to vary this feed more by giving one week 

 cotton-seed meal instead of corn-meal, another week 

 linseed-meal, etc., also a larger supply of roots, the 

 cows needing variety as well as quantity. 



We also can recommend the following for winter 

 feeding : In the morning, after the cows are curried and 

 cared for, cut up one peck of carrots for each cow; 

 after eating, the cows are milked, and while milking is 

 going on, the water is put on to boil in the boiler. In 

 a large trough is put three-quarters of a bushel of cut 

 hay for each cow, and the boiling water poured on. 

 Five quarts of shorts and two quarts of Indian meal are 

 added. This is well stirred, and fed warm, not hot, with 

 another feed of cut carrots at night and plenty of good 

 hay during the day.
