And while this saves J work and expense, it Is hard on the 1 i cows, though the fanners claim it Is not. If you wont to tent the matter, let your cows k: to the pond or creek nnd drink through the Ice. Then, when you have returned to the stable, sta-ble, carry In water that Is not lower than about (50 degrees Fahrenheit, nnd : see how your cows will go after It. !
