Any animal which gives milk is thereby to a greatoxtout protected from disease What would otherwise causu sickness has an escape valve through the milk secretion , says an exchange The moro statement of this fact ought to ompaslzo the necessity of giving milch cows pure water Tlio uiilmalth- fulnoss of milk in summer , from which so many children sicken and d cis moro frequently caused by giving the cows impure water than by anything else The cow should not bo nllowed to drink what is unlit for a person Warming vs Cooking Kuril Not nearly so much is said as former ly about the necessity of cooking food for stock It is undoubtedly the fact that warming food to near the animal heat is a good thing in cold weather and in most cases the cooked food is fed whllo warm , which may account for its supposed advantagessays the Nebraska Farmer There is certainly harm in giving wet food at a temperature near the freezing point in winter , ns it is apt to bo even in moderate weather , Tlio constant evaporation from the surface rapidly cools anything that is wet , and the introduction of food with a temperature aturo of 40 ° into a stomach where the natural warmth is iS ) = produces n chill that requires n good deal of the food consumed to overcome The conked food that has bocotno entirely cold is no bettor than that not cooked-for most kinds of stock Where , the Ijius Occurs The loss in keeping poultry is mostly in the winter season , and results from keoing over from spring stock that consume - sumo food without giving any return Such stock consists , usually , of immature - turo pullets ovorfat hens , surplus cockerels , late hatched chicks and moulting hens The food is not the only consideration in the matter , as the room is ulso tukon up and occupied , says tlio Farm and Fireside A dozen laying hens in the ontirollock have the duty of convincing their owner that poultry pays , while the others eat their share of food and refute the impression irmdo by the prolltablo momburs of the flock Nearly all poultry houses con tain unproiltablo stock , and the only reason for permitting such is the ox- poctnncy of each beginning the work of egg production daily Thorois no half way house in the raattorof poultry keep ing und but little reliance can be placed on the future It is the ovor-presont that wo must meet , and no ono should over attempt to wait for a prolit The best hens that are known will find it difticult to recover lost time , nnd this is moro applicable to the surplus stock that give no promlso of production until the 6pring rolls around Loss of time is loss of profit , and the safest and surest mode of avoiding loss is to keep no unproductive stock Winter Effects of Unilcrdrainigr Some of the minor advantages of un- derdrainngo assume great importance in winter It is quito nuparent upon obsorvatlou that ground properly un- dordrained heaves much the less in winter It is tlTo expansion ot the water in the soil , at the moment of freezing , that heaves the soil Dry earth does not expand at nny temperature , says the American Agriculturist Draining protects the soil against nn excess of water , and there is no excess of mois ture , only capillary and hygroscopic moisture , to be expanded by freezing The effect of tho'oxpunsion ot these is comparatively slight This partly ex plains why , ether things being equal , winter wheat succeeds best on under drnsned ground Undordralnngo often prevents damage to the wheat in yet another way Not infrequently water stands on the surface of lint land , freezes into ice , and smothers the wheat It is rnro thut an entlro Hold Is so damaged , yet sometimes largo Holds are ultogother killed out Peter Hondorson , the veteran mnrkot gnrdonor , road a paper on this subject before the Massachusetts state board of agiiculturo , at their meeting Decom- bor3,1881) ) .
