J P Corbin urges farmers to provide clean stables, ample wholesome feed, and constant water for cows. He warns that poor winter housing and inadequate spring nutrition reduce milk volume and quality. Proper ventila tion, exercise, and access to green fodder and water prevent feverish cows and poor milk flavor.
A New York Shine reader asks why horses and mules eat dirt when turned out of stables.

Practical guidance covers avoiding overdrinking, offering carrots and turnips, and using small iron and mineral tonics as needed.
