CLEAN COWS
iparfc from appearances, brushing and boming; have a direct value and injence on the production and thrift of b herd. Brushing and grooming, by reiving dust and dead hairs, contribute ach. to the comfort of the cow, which,
in n highly organised animal, is an importnnt "financial advantage. Keepintr the skin nnil hair in a clean, active condition also helps any animal in matin? better i:so of its feed. Moreover, cleanliness of the skin contributes much to the cleaner quality of milk, which adds to its value greatly. If cows are kept free from manure, the work of grooming a herd into a clean condition every day is very small. With a still corn brush one man can sufficiently groom at least two cows a minute. If' a currycomb is necessary, nn old horse currycomb, on .which the points are slightly' worn down, is more satisfactory, not being as severe on the cow as a new comb.
