often heard my neighbors observe, that some ofther
cows, though very good in The fore part OF the SEA-

profitable, & they should have TO put them off ac-

if possible and when brought TO mind the WAYS
that some o! my young COWS had been kept and
milSed, attributed the cause TO the milking Of them

fmcnts since, have found that young cows. the
first year they give milk, may be made with ca E.

length OF time required, say from the first oil May

are left to dry up OF their milk early in the all they
will be sure to dry up ofther milk each succeeding
year il they have calf near the same season Of the
year and nothing but extraordinary keeping will
prevent it, and that but for short time. | have

in small bundles, steep it in still water about AZ OF
