MILKING.

II is no easy IN after to teach an old man or woman
how to milk COW. The art should be e,ught to all
children, while they are capable of lear ming. They
should learn in the first place to trent The cows with
kindness, for know Of but few cows II at will be for
ced to part with all their milk Ert when treated
with kindness, they pleased to be relieved of
food in dstended uider and will ever object to be
stripped clean when known friend. approaches.
Iti quito important to milk cows with rapidity.
Let no ono be permitted to sit and talk to a friend
while drawing out the milk. Is the operator know
that no talk is to be permitted the ow-yard for
milking and talking are two dis met operations and
must never be united.
The milk must be drawn ut with rapidity, or
portion of it the best is lost In half minute after
commencing the process Of drawing out the milk
there is rapid flow which nuss not be checked If
the COW is left minute or two when half the milk
is drawn the natural fool is checked the milk re-
turns back into TIE duc.s and you must wait for a
part of it until the next milking time. By repeti-
ton Of this careless mo lie Of milking. ,le quantity is
gradually diminished till in n short time the cow is
dry Whereas, by q ttention to the milking with ra-
Pidity and draw ~ from the udIer, the COW. will
yield her milk tree for ten months after her time o.
calving. l held that all cows ought to 20 dry two
months before " wing another calf.

NOVEL TRAP FOR KILLING RATS.

The premises of gcoi many farmers are infested
with rats, and we often asked for modes of de-
struetion, resident of Brooklyn is vexed with an
increasing family of rats that seem to grow fat on
arsenic and INSTRUMENTATION. He doesn't like rats
and refers his care to the New York Sandsy Times
Ihat journal ends trap made as follows ::
"Take mackere barrel, for instance, and fill il
TO about one third Of its hight with water and
place log endwise in the water so that one end of
1t will just remain above the surface. Make the
head of the barrel little too small to e. and sus
pend 1t by two pins to the inside Of the top of the
BARREL so that it will hang as if on pivot and easily
tip by touching either side. On this head thus sus
pended, secure piece of savory meat. Tle arst rat
that scents it will, to get the meat, leap uron the
barrel head. The head will tip or tilt precip tate
him into the water and resume its position. The
rat in the water will swim to the log, get on the end
oft and squeal vocferously. His cries will BRING
ether rats, all of whom will f ght for the only drv
spot in it, namely, the end of the log As only one
rat can hold it, the visitor will drown a the rest and
can ~ the morning, be drowned himself. We have
seen twcn rats caugh; in one night by such a
trick

FEE DING GRAIN TO COLTS.

A subsor ber inquiries of the American Agricultu-
rist whether it is advisable to feed oats to cplts in
WINTER some of the neighbors think the practice niu
rous 1t is objected that grain of any kind is too
stimulating for young animals, and that they will
grow up more hardy if kept on scaniy food. We re-
60 rd this as an error The usual food of an animal
INCLUDING grain, Is not stimulating in the sense as
the spices and drinks used by man. were that the case
there would be no question as to the improprety
allowing grain to young horses or other animals
Grain contains more nutriment than the sane bulk
