Frees [rn the Pasture. a Boon--Some Cows Drink 20 Gallons of Water @ Day at High Milk Flow -- Fly Remedies-~Lice on Hogs. ¢Csatributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) Durimrg the extremely hot weather, cows and calves frequently suffer, gomietimes needlessly, from: three things--effects of high temperature, tack of water, and from torment by fies. A great mistake was made in the older parts of Ontario when pracil sally all the trees were cut down, thus leaving no shade for cattle and other live stock. This is being reme- dled to some extent by the planting of trees along roadsides, lanes, and line fences where the trees will not interfere with the crops. But it takes a long time for trees to grow into a sige which will provide much shade. When the late Prof. Brown was in charge of the O. A. College farm and five stock, he planted small groves of tre€s on various parts of the College farm, 'and no more pleasant sight may be seen than that of the College herd lying in the shade among these trees on a hot day. These groves make the fields where located rather awkward to work, but the cattle cer- tainly enjoy themselves among the trees. On a live stock and dairy farm, while it may not be advisable to plant trees in the middle of a field, it cer- tafmly will pay to have them in as maiy places as possible, where they do not interfere with the working of the land." They, of course, must be | protected when young, from injury by the stock, but this can be done without too much expense. fm the meantime, on dairy farms where no shade is available in the ragular pasture field,-sometimes a wood-lot can be utilized for the stock during the heat of the day, though! they may damage the young trees to some extent. Another pian is to keep the cattle in a darkened stable | for part of the day. This means a good deal of extra labor cleaning the stable, and keeping the cows clean, and under present labor conditions may not. be practicable on many farms. However, where there is the pegessary labor available and parti- cularly where cows are receiving soil- ing or silage feed to supplement the pasture, the feeding in the stable may well take place during the day, and tke eows be kept inside while it is .ve?y hot. This plan also reduces worry from flies, when the windows are covered to make the stable dark, Cows frequently suffer from lack of sufficient water. As a boy, the writer remembers driving cattle to] "Rig Crick" in Brant County during apy spells. The cows were nearly famished when they reached the "Criek'" and would drink until they looked like bursting. But, by the time they reached home, after walk- ing for a mile-and-a-half over a dusty road, the cattle were nearly as thirsty as ever. The only safe source .of a sure water supply is a deep well, driven or bored, and having the water pumped by windmill or other sources of power, with a storage tank for emergencies. There is no part of] Ontario in which an abundance of water cannot be obtained, if we go deep enough to tap the hidden gources of supply. In some districts, more particularly in the natural gas regions, the water may be salt or sulphur, in which cases, large tanks or cisterns for storing rainwater may be necessary, but this is unusual. No matter how it is obtained, the owner of dairy stock, more especially of cows milking, must supply a large amount of water, else the stock will suffer, which means lessened milk supply, and small cheques from the creamery, cheesery, condensery, or ¢ity dealer. Milk consists of about 87% per cent. water, and this water must come from the drink and feed of the cow. A cow giving 100 Ibs. {10 gallons) of milk dairy, will drink over 200 lbs. (20 gallons) of water ie a day. Cows giving less milk will 1k in proportion. Give the cows ity of water. Young cattle, calves, 0gs, also need plenty of ciean water in hot weather. Thore are several -gcod fly reme- dies on the market. Where there is wot time to make one, the purchase of a patent fly-killer or repellent, is advisable. These are usually applied daily, or twice a day with a small hand gprayer. The expense is not great and the freedom from worry By both cow and milker is worth the !
