HOW TO MILK COWS.

DR.. Dadd, the well known Veterinary
Surgeon, writes as follows on this SUBJ
ject:
The first process in the operation of
milking, is to make the cows acquain-
tance, and give her to understand that the
mixer approacher her with none other
than friendly intentions for if he swears,
scolds or kicks her, she is likely to prove
refractory, and may, possibly, give the
uncouth and unfeeling mixer the benefit
of heels, which, in my opinion, he is just.
ly entitled to.
Before commencing to milk the ami
NAL, she should be fed, or have some kind
offodder; in the enjoyment of the masti-
cation of the same, her attention is with
drawn from the mixers operations, and
the milk is not "held up" as the saying
is, but is yielded freely.
The mixer should not sit of at a dis
tance, like coward, but his left arm
should come in contact with the leg ofthe
COW, so that she can Eot kick. If che
makes the attempt when the mixer is in
close proximity with the cows body, the
former get kick instead of blow.
Before commencing to milk, the teats
are to be washed with cold water, IN the
in warm weather, and warm water in win
ter. The object is to remove accumulated
dirt, which otherwise would fall into the
milk pail, TO the disgust of persons who
love pure milk, and hate uncleanliness.-
Here is chance for improvement
The best milker is q meJcyul naan.-
The udder teats are highly organized and
very sensitive; and these facts should be
taken into consideration, especially when
milking young animal, for the teats are
sometimes excessively tender, and the
hard tugging and squeezing which many
poor sensitive creaturse have to endure, at
ihe hands of some thoughtless, hard fsted
man, are really distressing to witness.
A better nitker than euen q mercJfM man, I
Is ponsam. The principal part of milk
ing, in private establishments in foreign
countries, is done by women; and in these
United States there are thousands of ca
pable women out Of employment who
might be advantageoualy employed, in
private and dairy establishments, as milk.
maids. Therefore, in view of improve
ment in the art of milking, I advise farm
ers to learn their wives; daughters and
female donestsc, how to strip cows.
An indolent person-slow couch
should never be suffered 10 touch cows
teat the process, to say the least of it, is
painful therefore, the best mixer is one
who can abstract the milk in the quickest
time.
Finally, milk The co,o dry. The last Of
the milk is the most valuable, yet Mr..
Hurry-up can not spare time to attend to
this matter, consequently he loses the best
of the strippings, and actually ruins the
cow as q mixer.
