Show To Make Cows Give Down Milk. When cows withhold their milk, they are commonly in an unsatisfied state of mind, and therefore anything to draw their attention from this condition con-dition answers a good purpose. We have always, succeeded by giving them a maae-of food to amuse them while milking was going on, generally dry meal, so as to keep them long occupied. occu-pied. If they have sucking calves, let these suck at the time of milking. Driving a cow into a position so that her fore feet will stand on a much higher ground than her hind feet, or vice versa, . counteracts the animal's attention and generally succeeds. It is said that a weight on the small ol the animal's hack, such as a bag ol grain, will answer, but we know noth. ing of its efficiency. American Stock Journal. |
