Cows HoLDING UP THEIR MILk.-It. is
known to many farmers, that when young
cows first come in, when the calves are
taken away, they hold up their milk for
time, and some will dry themselves before
they will give down. A few years ago, 1
bought young COW which proved to be
very wild, and when / took away her first
calf, she would not give down milk. had
heard it remarked that putting weight on
cows back would make her give her milk
down. l accordingly drove her into the
stable, got bushef of grain and put it Oh
her back; but not being heavy enough, l
took it off and put my elbows in the centre
of her back, and bore on until she hollow
ed in her back. While she was kept in
this position, she had no pcSer to hold he.
milk; for it came down freely. After
doing this few times, and afterwards put
my hand on the back Of the COW, it would
give way and she would Immediately give
down her mik.-Ameriean AgricHltarist.
