The horse and other live stock . which water abounds—the green grassof irrigated meadows, green clover, brewers and distillersrefuse, and the like—increases the quantity, rather than thequality, of the milk ; and by feeding these substances themilk-dairyman studies his own interest, and makes thin milkwithout diluting it with water—though, in the opinion ofsome, this may be no more legitimate than watering the milk. But. though the yield of milk may be increased by succu-knt or watery food, it should be given so as not to interferewith the health of the cow. Food rich in starch, gum, or sugar, which are the respira-tory elements, an excess of which goes to the production of%tty matters, increases the butter in milk. Quietness pro-motes the secretion of fat in animals and increases the butter. FEEDING AND MANAGEMENT. lOY Cheese will be increased by food rich in albumen, such asthe leguminous plants. The most natural, and of course the healthiest, food formilch cows in summer, is the green grass of the pastures;. BDTINO CATTLE. and when these fail from drought or over-stocking, thecomplement of nourishment may be made up with greenclover, green oats, barley, millet, or corn-fodder and cabbage-leaves, or other succulent vegetables; and if these arewanting, the deficiency may be partly supplied with shorts, Indian-meal, linseed or cotton-seed meal. Green grass ismore nutritious than hay, which always loses somewhat ofits nutritive properties in curing ; the amount of the lossdepending chiefly on the mode of curing, and the length ofexposure to sun and rain. But, apart from this, grass ismore easily and completely digested than hay, though thedigestion of the latter may be greatly aided by cutting andmoistening, or steaming; and by this means it is renderedmore readily available, and hence far better adapted topromote a large secretion of milk—a fact too often overlookedeven by many intelligent farmers. In autumn, the best feed will be the grasses of the pastures.
