HOW TO FEED COWS.
Provided a cow is well fed —that is, getting all the food necessary for the support of her body and for the •manufacturing of the particular quantity of milk she is giving, extra food then has little or no effect in improving quality. It is a cow in poor condition that is badly fed that* will respond to good feeding, and in such cases an improvement in the quality of milk is obtained. ( A change of food helps to improve the quality a little, but the'change is only temporarly. Poor milk is largely due to the cow itself, ‘ breed/’ as it is usually designated, and whilst there arc several cows in most herds yielding poor milk, there aare others yielding rich, so that when all is mixed together, a fair average is obtained. It is at times of maximum flow (writes and English authority) that the poor quality of mixed milk is most noted.
