ON COWS.
{"newspaper_name": "American watchman and Delaware advertiser.", "edition": "01", "page": "p1", "byline": ""}
The marks Of good COW are these: The fore.
head broad the eyes black the horns large and clsa
the mech long and strait the belly large and d, CT,
The thighs thick, the legs round with short JOINTS,
and the feet broad and thick.


Red cows are said 10 give the best milk, though
the black are said to bring the best calves.
which is how ever doubtful But the COW that gives
milk the longest time, between the periods ol her
calvng is generally best for profit or Tor amiIy use;
provided, the quantity and quality Of her milk be
equal to ,ha, of others. Just before calving. COW
should be we'll fed and if she calves in winter, her
drink should be little warmed Tor day and nghr
afterwards. If she does not clean we'll after calving
give her pail full of warm water, win some ashes
in it. Those that calye pretty early will ylsld most
milk in the season.


The times o! milking ought TO be regular, and q.
nearly equi distant possible. Where the feeding
is full it is found that milking three times day
during the summer season particularly viii increase
the quantity nearly one.hrd In that case, the hrsi
milking ought TO be by sunrise, the second about
one and the latter about seven O'Clock 10 the even
inC. Omi,ng to milk cows regularly, at least twice
day, tends very mnch 10 dry them. Sometimes
one or more teats OF COW may be diseased but
this does not affect the milk of the rest.


Cows aie certainly very profitable. Allowing ore
to give only six quarts day for oriy weeks in each
year. and this is not large allowance, her milk, a.
only two cents per quart, will amount 10 upward, II
thirty three dollars which is probably sufficient 10
purchase her and pay for years keeping.
