NOT FAIR TO THE COWS
"I contend (says a Papakura farmer) that the farmer who with a herd1 of 4.0 cows, plus its quota of side-Hues, rises at 6 a.m. and terminates Ms daily duties at 6 p.m., lias net given his cows humanitarian treatment, for it entails the cow storing 14 hours' milk in the morning against 10 hours at night. This is a 40 per cent, additional pressure against an extended udder and strained muscles, compared with the evening milking. Irregular hours of milking probably cost the country a yearly loss of 8 per cent..of the, herds."
