Good Treatment For the. .Qm» ; • Very• 'Important'".'. - .. . •/.. r There is perhaps more truth than most of us think in the common state­ ment among dairymen that the feed and the cow are only half in profit­ able dairying. The man comprises the other hallf. The man's ability to care for~the herd is equal in impor­ tance to the equipment with which he has to'deal. In order that a cow or a herd of cows may average 10,000 pounds of milk per year and do it at a profit, it is very essential that the man know the dairy business and be able to take proper care of the cows. A cow should freshen every year and in order to do her best should have from six weeks to two months' rest. Perhaps the ideal tfme for a cow to freshen from the standpoint of making milk, without considering the market, is the fall and early win­ ter. The farmer has more time to care for the cow3 at this season and can give the cow her rest during August and September, when other lines of farm work are heavy. We have, however, in this section, which supplies the city of Chicago with milk, another phase to consider. We must have our cows freshen at such times so as to be able to supply the Chica­ go consumers with milk thpuout the, year. Keep Cows Comfortable One of the most important factors in the care of the dairy herd is to keep the animals comfortable. Cows which suffer from cold cannot do their best in milk production. The temper­ ature of the barn should be kept mod­ erately uniform thruout the season. If you must turn your cows out to water in cold and stormy weather, leave them out only long enough to drink. An excellent rule to follow in this connection is to leave your cows out only as long as you would care to stay out without a coat on and without working. It pays to have watering devices in the barn and also saves labor. In successful* dairying the dairy­ man must have regularity and sys­ tem in the carrying out of his work. The work relating to the dairy should be taken care of by the same persons daily and at the same time. The feeding, milking, barn cleaning and other work'about the dairy should be done in the same order each day. The milking should be made a part of the day's work upon the farm and not left until late at night. This one factor perhaps more than any other has .been the greatest cause of the chore working becoming so unpopu­ lar upon the farm. Let us take the kind of care of the dairy cow that she should have and if she does not treat us fairly in return, replace her in the herd with a cow which will.
