PROTECTING COWS. 
During the hot weather now approaching, it is quite as necessary to protect 
cows from the sun as to shelter them from the cold winds and rains of winter. 
Farmers should realise the fact that cows which stand or feed all day in a 
shelterless paddock will not fill the milk-pail so well as those which are pro- 
tected from the sun. Elaborate cow-houses are not required. A few stout 
forked posts, with a sapling roof covered with old straw, will be appreciated by 
the animals, and the result of this little care will be manifested in good milk 
returns. Farmers should ask Mr. Mahon, Principal of the Agricultural College, 
how he protected his horses and cattle in summer at a trifling expense.
