The peas or bean meal are preferable to oil-cake or locust-beans, as both of the latter give the milk and butter a hard flavor. About one o'clock, the cows should be let out to watering, and when weather is mild and otherwise favorable, fresh air will be found to be of very great advantage to the general health of the dairy stock. When the cows are at large, the cow-houses should be thoroughly cleaned in every nook and corner, the doors being left open to admit fresh air, weather being seasonable. While kept in the house, let them have a drink of meal and water twice a day; a handful of oatmeal and three pints lukewarm water will be sufficient. In the first draught let a hand- ful of salt be given. When the cow-houses are well aired, a w/W/i«^ of straw should be given between two cows as they return from watering. Upon the supposition that the cow-houses are well ventilated from the roof, the doors should be shut. About y^«r ox five o'clock, turnip should be given in quantity as before ; or, failing turnip, the above named substitute. The time for feeding should be regulated according to the season ; tnilking-time also should be so fixed that it may be regularly kept—and kept so ,^s to be suitable not only for parties engaging in it, but so as not unduly to dis- turb either the rest or feeding of the cows. At eight o'clock a ivindling of good meadow hay between two cows should be given forsuppei, the quantity being always regulated accord- ing to what each cow can consume. It is a great mistake to keep fodder in quantities lying unused ; rather let the appetite be tested, and by keeping it always sharp, not only w^ill each meal be eaten up with relish, but a more healthful state will be main
