[Illustration:  Care of Cows]

CATTLE

Cows will bring large or small profits in proportion to the care they receive.  If properly housed, properly fed, properly bred, and properly protected against disease they will fully repay the little extra attention required.  Strive intelligently to secure the greatest possible regular production.  Keep a sharp lookout for unfavorable symptoms and be prompt in finding a cause for poor condition and remedying it.  Cows kept in perfect health are the least expense, least trouble, and the greatest profit-earners.

You do not need to be a veterinarian to know that the health of a cow depends on a good healthy appetite with complete digestion and perfect assimilation of the daily ration.

That is just plain common sense.  No cow which is not a big eater can be profitable.  But appetite is not of itself sufficient to make a cow a money maker.  There must be sound digestion.

Once establish and maintain good digestion, food performs its natural functions.  Bodily waste is repaired.  Strength and growth are noticed and the cow gives the utmost possible amount of milk.  See then, that your cows have hearty, healthy appetites and good digestion.  Good digestion does not always follow a large appetite.  A cow giving only a few quarts of milk a day will often eat as much as one giving gallons.  She requires the same amount of care and attention.

The trouble is that she does not have good digestion to convert food into milk.  Of course there are cows which will always be small milkers, but there are many many more cows which can be made to give substantial, paying increase of milk production if proper attention is given them.  Perhaps there are such cows in your herd.  Without your even realizing it, they are out of condition.  A little help and they would give enough more milk to pay you a satisfactory profit.

This “help” can easily be given.  Your own dealer has it.  We mean Pratts Cow Remedy, for cows only.

We all know how, when we are well, the sight or smell of pleasant tasting food, “makes the mouth water.”  This is literally true because the digestive glands of the mouth and stomach pour out their secretions and are ready to begin digesting the food.

When, however, the nerves fail to send their messages to the glands or the glands fail to respond, we have a diseased condition and we take medicine to assist in recovery.
