If one has a night pasture near the barn the cows, after being milked iu the evening, may be turned into it and are bandy to bring iu in the morning. Cows get accustomed to a milker, and it Is better for the same person to milk the same cows. A person before entering the stall or touching the cow should speak to her In a gentle tone, calling her by name. The milker should sit close to the cow ’s right side and first rub the udder with the bands to stimulate the nerves. | Many milkers milk the right back teat ami tlie left front teat first, then the ; left hack teut and the right front teat. Milking opposite quarters in this man-, nc-r there is no full quarter In the way. Close the lingers gradually over the teat, beginning at the top. and press the teat more against the cushiou of the thumb than into the hollow o f the hand. If the teats are short the milk ing has to be done at first with the thumb and two lingers until there is room for the whole hand. When strip ping press well up into the udder with the thumb, so ns to bring (lie last inllk out of the milk cistern at the top of the teat. Do not pull or press too hard on the teats, hut be sure to get ull the milk there is if you wish to keep up the milk flow. Thorough milking de velops tile udde*. If there be any lumps or soreness in the teats or bloody, unnatural colored milk.' the milk from those quarters should not be mixed with tile rest.

It Is in the form of minute globules averaging the ten- thousandth part o f an inch in diameter. The fresher the cows In milk the softer and larger the fat globules are The longer In milk the suinller and more tallowy the globules, resulting in “ strippers," making very stubborn churnings and crumbly, tasteless but ter. The food of the cow has a marked intiuence on the composition o f the milk fat. White milk does not always Indicate poor milk: neither is yellow milk necessarily very rich. Grass, bright clover bay, carrots, pumpkins and yellow cornmeal tend to deepen the color of milk. Rich foods may stimulate the pro duction o f fat for a short time, but the cow will return to her normal percent age and perhaps—due to forcing—fall below It for awhile. At the same time the percentage of fat In milk Is by no means constant. In every UK) pounds of milk there are 87 pounds of water. Much udder trouble is caused by bad milkers bruising tlie teats or udder, thus causing inflammation and more danger of losing a teat than from gar get. Never use a wooden milk pall, as the milk gets into the pores of the wood and the pail soon becomes foul. Use hooded pails. To keep the cow from switching her tail during milking nothing is so con venient ns a hoop made from five to T O The leading and enterprising firms with whom we have arranged to redeem Press Coupons.

The fluid the cow yields directly aft er calving Is known as colostrum, which differs essentially In composi tion from normal milk and Is usually considered untit for human food. The milk gradually loses its colos trum character and In from five to ten days after the cow has freshened Is generally normal. Childreu or weak handed persons should never milk good cows. Did you ever think why a calf or a lamb hunts its mother when getting its supper? Instinct taught it that by giving a bunt or two the milk came quicker—the nerves were thereby ex cited. Some milkers might take a les son from the calf and instead o f try ing to get the udder as well as the milk into the pail, let them press up ward instead o f pulling downward so hard. The udder is less likely to be come injured or unshapely. Much might he said in favor o f wo men as milkers. The withdrawal of women from the cow stable has been detrimental to the dairy industry, but milking comes at such inconvenient hours for the housewife, and her du ties are already so manifold she should not be asked to go to the stable to milk. Better to have a dirty floor than a dirty atmosphere in a stable at milk ing time. The milk does not touch the floor, but it passes directly through the atmosphere. If you want pure milk the air must be pure in which It Is milked. Some of the best dairies have separate milking sheds. To secure clean milk the cows should lie brushed down. The stables should be cleaned and ventilated and a little land plaster or other absorbent sprink led in the gutters. Just before milk ing begins the udder should be wiped with a damp cloth and. if soiled, wash ed with warm water. The milker should have on n suit of washable material, which should be washed when dirty. The milker's hands should he clean and free of dis ease. Do not milk with wet hands. Some milkers have the bad habit of moistening the bands with the first streams o f milk. The milk In the ud der proper is practically free from germ life, hut as the cow lies down on 1 be never too clean floor, bacteria of the worst form fi:.d their way through 1 he opening at tin end of the tent, and in the milk in the teat canal they glo riously thrive and multiply. This Is the milk that should go into a small fin for the barn kitty. While bad for the milk supply, I have never known it to kill a cat. Do not milk it on the barn floor or In a few days you will have a most offensive smell arising. A good practice is to rub the bands with a little vaseline or lard. If either the fore or back portion of the udder Is poorly developed, milk that part first In the hope o f stimulat ing flie nerves and overcoming to some extent the deficiency. Always milk the cows In the same or der Milk as nearly as yon can at the sjm e hour, having equal perloda of time between the milkings Cows glv- lug a very heavy flow o f milk are often DUiked three or four times during the twenty-four boon.

This thrown over the rump does away with the nn- noyanee of having the tail strike you iu the face. A piece of cord with a small weight at the end tied to the rope and twisted around the tail makes tlie hoop more effective. There Is no more effective way of drying up a cow than leaving a little milk In tier udder. Besides, it pays to get it all, for the last drawn milk con tains ns high as from 10 to 12 per cent o f fat, while the first has only about 2 per cent. Do not return to the cows to strip them again. It does them no good, but rather an Injury. Just here, lest I for get, do not save the strippings by themselves to add to the cream can. They lower the percentage o f fat in | the cream and, if added warm, injure the quality of cream and butter. OR EN CO D R U G C O.

No rough noise should be allowed In the dairy stable. Cows like to be kind ly talked to. and singing has a charm for them. Harsh treatment, chilly winds, cold rains, worrying flies—in fact, anything that excites. Irritates or brings discom fort to the cow —decreases very mate rially her profitableness. If a cow gets frightened, nervous or fretful the nerves In the udder become tense and refuse to net on the cell structure, and the milk cannot come, for It is not lie ing made. In such n case try to quiet the cow by diverting her attention Rub her behind the ears. Talk to her Get her mind back to her business by being kind to her. Sometimes from no apparent cause a cow holds up her milk persistently A heavy weight, such as a bag with sand In It, placed over the loins may relieve the tension. It Is not well to form the habit In thr cows of eating while being milked. Exposure on cold days or nights re sults in a decreased milk flow, a gen eral lack o f thrift and a poorly nour ished calf. Cows must be kept com fortable at all times. Kicking cows are usually made so by the persons who handle them. Impa tience with the timid heifer often re sults in a kicker. The best device per haps for a kicker Is to put a ring in the celling overhead and with a halter on the cow draw her head up pretty taut when milking her. Other methods are to tie the bind legs together or to draw the right band hind leg slightly hack with a rope attached to the wall or a poet- When the fly time is past It is well to cut off the switch Just below the tall hone; also to shear the bind quar ters with a pair of horse clippers and UUu the long hairs from the udder.
