A lot ie written and said about improving the dairy herds so that tflile yield of milk from the present .number of cows would, be about doubled in quanta, ty. The advice is good, "but we are certain that the greatest contributing' factor to increasing the yield of milk is feed—and more feed—during the winter months. The milking herds are not getting "the feed tliey should. Cows cannot be expectedt to do well after, having to wait weary weeks for the grass to grow. There are not three dairy farmers out of every five who supply sufficient winter feed for their dairy' herds. IP at were not for noxious weeds and native shrubbery many of the dairy cows would have to rub along between the wind and sunshine or else take to green-shaded spectacles. _ The ayerage daiiry cow in Taraaiaki is a ,goodl honest animal, who only wants its sides pushed out with feed. There is no use improving the dairy herdi with long pedigrees and dhort rations. Increase the winter feed and give _ the cows every chance and we are positive the milk yield per head in the herds of this Dominion will *knock spots off any of Sir Joseph TVardl's surpluses.— Opuiiako Times.
