Celery Leaves for Cows.

A writer in an Australian paper states that, in many districts of the colony, the leaves of the celery are highly esteemed as food for milch cows, and are often preferred to red clover. The cows are said to eat them most greedily, and to yie’d on this food a far sweeter and richer milk than on any other. Bometimes the leaves are cut up small, scalded with hot water, and given as a mash mixed with bran, and sometimes they are given whole in their natural state with the other ordinary food.
