+een co,ys-ffteeti new nilks and one far
| row. They are mixture The native pre-
dominates but there is an Infusion Of AYR
shire, Durham and Devon blood Feeding
in fair New England pastures, we shall aver
age for the next four months about twelve
pals ofmilk day.
We generally get them out of the yard in
the morning a little before six, and into the
yard at night little before seven. In the
morning the utmost care is taken to clean
the bag, before milking, from all filth and
dust that might mingle with the milk while
in the act of drawing 1t. This Is mostly
done with the bare hand, but sometimes
with wet cloth, and is of the first impor-
tance. Any mixture of impurities with the
sweetness of the butter. q.
Besides having the milk perfectly pure,
we propose to milk tile COWS perfectly clean
The last quart is worth double the first for
butter; besides, nothing has such tendency
to lessen the flow of the lacteal fluid as leav-
ing portion of it in the cows udder. We
propose, still further, to milk the cow as
rapidly as possible A man or woman who
can milk cow in three minutes will get an
eighth more in quantity and in value than
One who struggles through double that time.
There is sort of relaxation of the cows
nerves that quick, strong mixer always
mpels, which gives sort of abandon, and,
Of course, completeness to the flow.
Our milk room is about twenty feet long
by eight wide, with windows opening to-
ward the west, and our milk-rack, with its
five tiers, together with a few shelves, will
hold something near one hundred and fifty
pans. At one end of the room is table
| whereon pans sufficient to hold pailful of
| milk can be placed, and into which the
milk is strained through which siXty-cop-
per wire-cloth placed in the spout of tin
pail exclusively used for this purpose. Our
pans are about four inches deep, of common
tin, with wired edge; although much
better and more desirable article is a
heavy block-zinc, which we are substituting
for the old tin as fast as the new ones are
required. r.l
The milk is set in these pans about two
inches deep. 1t never should be set deeper,
and if you had the pans and the space, one
inch is better than two. 1t does not make
as much difference In the cool days of early
summer and autumn, when the milk will
keep fresh and sweet for some time, but
when the hot days come, and the milk will
sour in dozen hours the thinner it is set
the better
Our milk is always SKINNED as soon as it
begins to sour, or Immediately after it has
come to solid curd Between these two
points, the trouble of taking off the cream
is very much greater than it Is at either, be-
sides the particles of soft curds that ineyi-
| tably mix with the cream diminish its value.
