It is very important that the water drunk by the cows giving three or more gallons of milk daily be warmed to about 60 degrees, F. Otherwise the cows will not drink as much as they need to keep up a good milk flow. It does not take much ice water to chill a thin-fleshed dairy cow through and through on a cold winter day, especially when she is compelled to walk some distance through the snow or a cutting wind to get to the tank or pond. Experiments made at the Missouri Station show that drinking water is needed in proportion to the milk yield. That is, a cow giving six gal- lons of milk a day, needs about twice as much water as a cow giving three gallonsa day. If the water is too cold to be comfortable if drunk in large quantities, the cow will not drink enough as a result, will drop considerably in her milk yield. When Missouri Chief Josephine | was giving about 100 pounds of milk each day last winter she drunk daily {about 31 gallons of water. Imagine how she would have suffered if that had been ice water. after drinking. A good tank heater, or some other device should be used | \this winter to warm the water for the cows. It will pay.—H.

C., Dec. 27.—There was consumed in the United States during the calender year 1909 in the industry of wood distillation, 1,265,- 000 cords of wood, as against 978,000 cords in 1908 and 1,282,000 cords in 1908. The average cost per cord re- ported for the 1909 consumption was $3.21, which was an increase of 23 cents, or 8 per cent, over that report- ed for 1908, and for 6 cents or 2 per cent over that for 1909, and for 6 cents or 2 per cent over that for 1907. While a substantial increase is noted in that branch of the industry using yellow pine, fir, and other soft wood as material, the revival of activity was more marked in hard wood distil- lation, due undoubtedly to the ma- terial advance in the average value per gallon of wood alcohol over the preceding year.

Gentlemen:— In order to fulfill a promise to you | gentlemen and also to give my Bates county friends some idea of this coun- try, I will ask for a few lines in your valuable paper. In December, 1908, I made a trip to this country, known as the “lower plains” or “‘shallow water country” of the Texas Panhandle. This country with its level land, deep soil, fine lots of registered cattle and good horses and mules, reminded me of the Promised Land. On this trip I purchased two sections in Castro county and one year later, when I came to look over our holdings (which looked better than ever) I purchased another section adjoining us, which gives us nearly two thousand acres of land in a-strip one mile wide and three miles long, all fenced and cross- fenced. next season.
