Fall Freshening Urged For Dairy Cattle
The article argues fall freshening offers two main advantages: more time for work and higher dairy prices. It asserts fall fresheners raise calves more easily and over two years cows yield more milk, while spring freshening has few benefits and adds summer labor and flies.
Water for Cows in Winter
The dry cow needs ample water and on very cold days in winter it helps to warm it enough to take the chill off. Cows drink ice cold water in zero weather and will not consume enough to fulfill needs. Sprinkling salt on fodder or supplying it every two to three days keeps the cow’s system in good tone.
FOR WASHING MILK BOTTLES TO KILL BACTERIA
Instructions urge immediate rinsing of emptied milk bottles with cold or lukewarm water to prevent albumen and casein from hardening. Rinse with hot water to remove fat, then finish with boiling water or steam to kill bacteria.
