WATERING THE COW.
The cow has about 10 times as delicate a sense of smell as the man, and it is because of this ultra-sensitive-ness she will not e?it 'nor drink from a dirty trough. The dairyman may verify this for himself by placing a cow before a bucket of "smelly" water. She will not drink. Feed left in the trough or manger is distasteful to her, and to toss the new feed on the old is not to make the former appetising, but to ensure cause the rejection of much of the last deposited. The cow also calls for clean water at least twice a day; she knows that dirty water lessens the milk flow as it lowers the vitality, and will have none of it until compelled to. After good and clean about all the well-kept cow wants, that her milking machinery may burn r clearly, is a supply of sait, from which she will take what she requires.
