Show Animals Require Plenty of Fresh, Pure Water All animals require plenty of good, pure water at all seasons of the year. This Is especially true of the milking milk-ing cow, as water constitutes more than three-fourths of the total volume vol-ume of milk. The water supply, therefore, there-fore, demands the dairyman's most, careful attention. Stale or Impure water is distasteful to the cow and she will not drink enough for maximum maxi-mum milk production. Such water may also carry disease germs, which might make the milk unsafe for human hu-man consumption or be dangerous to the cow herself. During the winter, when cows are stabled the greater part of the 1 time, they should be watered two or three times a day un less arrangements have been made to keep water before them at all times. |
