I «regC cow for Lambing Tli»v I

There is nothing like a new milk cow for lambing time. Arrange, if possible, to have one "come in" a week or ten days before you expect the first lambs. However well the mothers may own them, there are frequently times when a cold, weakly or neglected lamb can be saved by taking it to the cow and forcing the teat into its little, cold mouth and a few streams of milk down its throat. We have known lambs so far gone that we could with difficulty get them to take the first swallow, when they would suddenly wake up and begin to draw so greedily that our anxiety about the lamb's safety was transferred to the cow. Sometimes a good mother will not have milk enough for a day or two or a young ewe may not have a sufficient supply for a longer period, then it is better to help out once a day with the cow than to have the lamb stunted. We frequently get Bcolded for coming in with an empty pail during the lambing season. — Dakota Farmer. . ~~ ■"•"•"• - - ■ ■
