to Install on ex

s o m o form o f

tho best device to

the wind passes through this opening
and out of tho top at b. It thus cre
ates a draft up tho Quo c and thus
ventilates tho poultry houso below.

Thlnoa to Observe and Others to Avoid
In Handling Cows.
Very early 1 began to milk. Ono sea
son when only about twelve 1 and my
brother, two years younger, curacd $20
ono aenson milking cows for n neighbor
Bt n ponny a cow. But I do not claim
lo know all about milking oven now.
A few things 1 havo lenrned, however.
I'crhnpB they mny bo helpful to somo
ono else, says tho writer of a letter to
Iho lown Homestead.
Ono is It Is a good plan not to let
Dno's linger nails grow too long. Most
dowb nro very sensitive on this subject.
Often when you see n cow step around
uneasily tho only reason Is that tho
nnlls of tho milker nro cuttinjr into bar
teats.
Itleht In the same lino with thla u
tho habit somo men have of setting
their linger ends against tho side of
tho tent when pressing tho milk out
this hurts somo cows too. Let tho

To got rid of ruts mix up ono hnlf
pint of cornmcal, ono teaspoonful of
sugar and one-half teaspoonful of
cheese crumbs rubbed Ono. I'ut thin

ways. They will oat of It rondlly. In
n row days add plaster of par In to a

rats when they drink water will get
n bard lump that will kill them and
scare away any that do not eat this
formula. Farm Journal.
Critter Wisdom.
An a general proposition It may be
fit. Hint thn pnw thnt Ims nlcrs before
sho Is a year old will disappoint her
owner.
Sorghum Is an excellent succulent
feed for cows, horses. Bheep and bogs,
u'lu.n fi Lwim It sores more ex-
ponnlvo feeds nnd keeps stock in fair
llesh until other feeds can do gatnerea.
Tho safest bull tho dairyman can iibo

mny seem a strango assertion. Tho

that Is known to bo cross will always

"MILKWO TIMS."
Oncers be as flat acalnst tbo side of the

milk tbut wuy as any ana far more
agreeable to the cow.
Home men havo a way of jerking
down on tbo teats of tho cow they nro
milking every tlmo they bring out a
Htrcum. This Is not at all necessary.
In fact, the best milker will bo tbo ono
who holds his bands tho most nearly In
the Biiino position relative to the teat
and presses steadily and rhythmically

jlng. Itather, the cow Is mndo uncom
fortable, and perhaps her bag may be
permanently deformed.
One of the lilt hies t habits of a man
ever coutructed Is thnt of wetting the
tents of tho cow ho Is milking with
milk before ho begins. This, bo fan
tics, makes the process of milking eas
ier. 1 have seen the bands of milkers
which fairly recked with the discolored
milk as It oozed between their Angers.
The man who does this is not a fit band
for work. More or less of tbo foul liquid
will get Into tbo pall and help to make
the milk Insanitary. Borne cows do
milk hard, but almost always tbero will
be some man who Is strong enough tn
tbo hands to milk them without resort
ing to nny such uncleanly habit ob this.
Finally, threo words ought always to
be In the mind of every milker-carefulness,
cleanliness and kindness.
