fed. After th mllklns? and feedtnar I civa
theen, hay and ana pall- each of freeh waUr -
from th wll. X give them Just hay enough
to be eaten up clean by noon. Then I give
them two palls of fresh water each and Just
hay enough to be eaten up clean by half
past 't or 4 o'clock. Then they are again
given hay and Just enough to be eaten up
clean by milking time, half past S. " Between
4 and S I water them again, giving two palls
to each. If It l wanted. Then I use the
brush" and currying comb to their enjoy
ment. When through with thla part of the
rKtmetheyare clean and reedy for milking
and feeding. Thl take plaoa from half past
6 to half past 0. Tb last course for the day
is a pail of fresh watsr for each.
Now they ar ready for the night so far as
feed is concerned. - Their manger ar empty
but th boasles are full and ready to rest '
during the night. Under this r(rlm w are
realising better results than eyer before.
Hooping Snbitltato Cow.
From th first of December to the first of '
May it Is necessary to keep one or two sub
stitute cow. Their milk I needed while tbe
regular herd Is dropping eft In its production
and n earing another freshening. Not long
ago on of our substitutes was giving eleven
pounds of milk at a milking when, she was .
at first understand ah would drop down to -
perhaps eight or nln pounds, and then go
up to eleven again. We alwaya fed herHh
same amount, aad ther was no variation
quality. I mad up my mTnd that I would
discover th cauee, and X Jj J. It was" in th"-"hav
system of watering her. We were watering .
her twlo a day, once at 11 o'clock a. m. and
again at 4 p. m. 1 noticed that ah waa often
thirsty and drank mor water than an or
dlnary Oow. I put har on the system adopted
with tha frees eowa of tha regular herd, and
that gave her water four times a day, morn
Ing, noon, 4 p. m., and ths last thing at night.
From tha day that I commenced to water her
under that system there has been no varla-
tlon to speak of la br mass. Just ths proper,
orderly arrangement of watering times has .
aaved many pound of milk. 80 much for
science aad system.

- Soiling Forty-ftT Quart Dally. -
" At tb present time our regular little herd '
comprises four eXoellent cows. Trilby, Fanny,
Pretty, and Buttercup. Trilby aad Pretty ar
resting now; I plan to give them six weeks
each before freshening. They do better when
given such a rest. We now have two substi
tutes that are furnishing tha milk in their
"place. Fanny and Buttercup ar fresh.- This
morning Fanny gave, twenty - and three- "
fourths pounds of excellent milk. This even- "
ing aha will glva perhap a pound lees. Thla
morning Buttercup gave eighteen pounds and
ths evening eh will give a like mesa.
From th two w ar abl to sell no w thirty -two
quarts of fresh, olsaa milk dally, and wa
ar selling enough from that given by others
to bring tha amount sold up to from forty to
-fOTtyflv quart daily Our Ms 1 la d- j
Biand, and ther seems to be nollmlt to ths
amount tbat we could dispose of if we had It
and could deliver it as we do now. Our son
delivers the larger part of It. ; Tbe thirteen
year old son of a neighbor ha been employed
- to deliver around his home. I ean see no rea
son why boys cannot be employed to deliver
milk Just as they are now delivering papers.
The plan work so far we hav tried It.
Our milk I delivered la less than ons boor

Llttlo Dairy a Saccost.
In concluding, I wish to say that our little
dairy Is a success from every point of view.
Excellence I our ami hr every phas of it
Ther la no food product that demands as
much care in handling as milk. It must
not only com from th barn or pastur clean. .
but it .must be carefully strained Into clean
cans, end clean measures must be used whsn
It Is sold. Our milk I often warm when It -Is
delivered. If ur patrons present clean
utensil In whicn to receive it, ther I no
reason, why they should not enjoy excellent,
freeh, clean milk a we do. l
Milk pails" and cans and measure, and
especially, strainer, must be thoroughly
washed and acalded' out with boiling hot
water, which sterilises
