Care of stock under soiling. Cleanliness in the stable and the grooming of the cattle are important factors in soiling. When in pasture the hair of the stock is kept clean through rain and wind, but when confined the waste thrown off by the skin must be re- moved by currying in order that the skin secretion of the animals be not interfered with, and that they may thrive under the rather artificial conditions under which they are kept, with the incidental heavy system of feeding and production.
