Manner of Milkinr.

The manncr.of milking has more powerful
and lasting influence on the produciiveness Of
the COW than most farmers are aware Of That
slow and careless mixer soon dries mp the best
cows every practical farmer and. dairyms an kuows.
fhe hrst requisite OF good milkerlis, of course,
the utter cleanliness Without this, the milk is
unendnrable. The uddcr should, therefore, be
carefully cleaned before Che milking commences.
The miller may begin gradually and gently, but
''hquid steadily increase the rapidity OF the ope-
ration till the udderis ernptied, using pail suf-
ficiently large TO hold all. without the necessity
OF changing. Cows are all very sensitive, aud
the pail cnnnot be changed, nor can the mixer
stop or rise during the process Of milking, with.
out leading the COW more or less to withhold her
milk. The utmost care should be taken to strip
the last drop and do it rapidly and not in a slow
negligent manner, which is sure to have its effect
on the yield of the If any rilk is left, it is
re.absorbed into the system, or else becomes
caked, and diminishes the tendency to sccrete a
full quantity afterwards. If gentle and mild
treatment is observed and pcrsevered in, the or.
GRAFTON of milking appears TO be one Of pleasure
TO the animal, as it undoubtedly is but if an OPP
I'osite conrae ia nnrsued--f Mt every restless
movement caused perhaps, by pressing sore
teat, the animal is harshy spoken to, che will be
likely to learn to kick as q habit, and it will be
difficult to overcome it afterwards. To induce
quiet and readiness to give down the milk freely,
1T is better that the COW should be fed at milking
time with cut food or roots placed within her
easy reach. The same person should milk the
same COW regularly and not change from one to
another unless there are special reasons for it.

warblers around the hearthstone--or when. at

its soothing strains. Let plant shade trees that

PLEASANT REUNIoN.-There was joyful
meeting under an humble roof in Sidney, Va,
Wednesday. A young man who has been alb
sent from home for nineteen years, and was
long since mOurned for as dead, unexpectedly
knocked at his fathers door while the family
were partaking of the usual morning meal A
beautiful sister, just attained to womanhood,
answered the knock, but of course did not
recognize the brother. he being a mere lad
when he left the parental roof He then
asked for Mr.. X, and the old gentleman
quickly appeared, but did not recognize the
long lost son. The mother now made her ap-
pearance, and scanning the features of the
stranger but for a moment, suddenly recog-
nized the long departed boy. Shrieking "My
son my SON" her warm heart became too
full for utterance, and she swooned away into
the young mans arms. The neighbors were
attracted by the unusual commotion which
followed, and described the scene as indiscrib-
ably and painfully affecting. Va.
