Show WATER AND SALT NECESSARY Important Requisites for Proper Manufacture Manu-facture of Milk, Says South Dakota Da-kota Professor. Don't stint your dairy cows on wa-tet, wa-tet, if you want them to keep up the milk supply, suggests Prof. C. Lar-' Lar-' sen of South Dakota State college. He states that the amount of water needed by a dairy cow is in proportion propor-tion to the amount of milk she gives. The average cow will drink about 75 pounds per day. while some very large milk producers driuk 200 pounds per day. The dairy cows should also have free access to salt. The right method of feeding salt is to have a water-tight box 10 or 12 feet -long in the yard, raised about two feet from the ground on solid posts. Then put a whole liar-j liar-j rei of salt in the box and keep plenty ! of it there all the time. The cow I needs salt not only for her body but i for the manufacture of milk. |
