Feeding Meal To Milch Cows

It was ouo of Joba Jolnistim's hints hat"whcniin animal does not gain in sizo or wcight, you lose all the food it ■misumes, or, ;it best, gain nothing. VVhon oowsa.ro poorly kep{ thoy barely yaythëir feeeping, felidering no profit to ho owner." " Acting apon thia princiile," writes a correspondent of tho Cmmn c , "I have noreaeed the vicM of chcesc per cow from 300 pounds o 475 pounds, on an average annually, whicb is more than 80 per cent. gain. L'his waa done by feeding rneal- rather toely, soiuc of my neighbois tliink. In [865, T fed 700 pounds of the beet cora neal per cow, oosting $14.23, wliile tlie iverago priee of cheest', as sold, was fiftecn cents - equal to a not gain of over $11 ser cow in thoso years. In 1804, I did 'ery much better, as choeso sold very high. You will see by this that I think mal does not hurt a cow, and as to turnng otf cows, let me say, keep the old cow 'urrow ; foed lier eififet (juarts of the best aesJ diiily, mul milk her, and in the sprmg she will sell for enough to buy a voung cow, and will have given milk enough to pay for thö meal. And this meal feeding does inerease tho manure ieap, which is the farmer'a chief souree of wnnanent prosperity ; not the least of its idvantages, though not ineluded in tho Ignrea I have given." If he can get oil cake conveniently he may find that he can do still more at feeding to advantage, and ultimatily add as muoh to Iiis incomo rom other sources, as he has already done o that derived from Ms sales of checse.
