FROM STATE COLLEGE
QUESTION: What precautions
should I folow to prevent fires
from electrical wiring?
ANSWER: Extension Agricul
tural Engineering specialists at
State College say to have all
electrical wiring and apparatus
installed and repaired by a com
petent electrician. Electrical work
by an untrained man is always
hazardous. Inspect all electrical
equipment frequently. Be sure
that it is clean, dry, and undam
aged. Adjust running motors by
touching them; if too hot for com
fort, they are either overloaded
or in need of servicing by an
electrician. Have all work wiring
and defective apparatus repaired
or replaced immediately. Keep
damaged equipment out of ser
vice until fixed. Replace fuses
with nothing but fuses of the
same type and capacity 7 . Fuses are
safety valves; to substitute any
thing else for them creates dan
gerous conditions. Keep combus
tible materials away from electric
lamps, motors, heaters, switches,
and other appliances. Never leave
a live or hot electric iron un
attended.
QUESTION: What are the
daily water requirements of a
dairy cow?
ANSWER: A dry dairy cow
needs 8 to 12 gallons of water a
day, and cows in milk need up
to 35 to 40 gallons.
Water requirements for an
animal will vary, of course with
its size, amount of milk produced,
atmospheric temperatures , an d
the nature of the feed. Extension
Dairy specialists at State College
say that it is by far the best
practice to have an unlimited
amount of water available to
livestock at all times.
