HINTS on Milking COtCS.

\ man who had done his own milking,
employed a boy to do it; he shrunk the
milk one third in two weeks. The owner
resumed the milking, and in two weeks
90, the same as before. Allerward he
set hired man to milk, and he shrunk
the milk ten per cent, in two weeks; and
in two weeks more, the owner milking
again. got as much rs before. This man
does the work quickly and milks very
clean He closes the foreiinger and
thumb around The teat high mp, and makes
4 downward motion, tightening the grip
and forcing out the milk; then lets go his
hold, keeping the finger and thumb in
circle, carries up the hand and presses it
smaItly against the udder, and closes and
pulls down rs before. and 50 repeats un'

Stanchions for Cattle.

Every observing farmer who uses STAN
chious with open hangers for feeding cat
tie knows that there is something wrong
in this arrangement, for he sees that no
favor can be given particular animal, and
in almost every herd one or more require
extra feed and care.
It'll well known that some cows are
twice as long taking THAR feed as others,
some on account of poor teeth, and others
from their natural habits. Then in q
common open manger animals take in food
rapidly, will swallow that before them
and steal from their less active neighbors,
and TO more efectually accomplish this,
we have often seen them upon their knees
that they might reach greater distance.
Some animals also, that have the mas
terry often act very shrewdly, and draw
the fodder of others to them first. keeping
their own allowance to leisurely consume,
or work over and gather the best, after the
other Is gone.
Sometimes grain or roots arc fed TO Il
few and not the whole, and in this case
with open managers the neighboring ami
mails are set into state Of agitation, and
they reach and struggle to obtain taste.
Ii the feed is given out of the sight OF
others, no such commotion occurs.
Now this may be easily remedied by
dividing the manger into sections with
boards, allowing each animal space enough
10 contain Just the food allotted to him.
The only difficulty in using close man
gers is feeding corn-stalks but this is
obyiated by cutting them once or twice in
two, or by feeding them out of doors,
which Is by far the best way when the
condition Of the ground and the weather
will admit OF it.-Ohi7 Farmer.

Ho,r Tney Sell Their Crops.

The method OF disposing of the crops
by the large farmers Of England is very
peculiar. just rs the various fields are
in their best condition, they are then iii.
yidcd into lots of ten acres each, and
then offered nd auction rs they stand. A
large company assemble, and after lib
eral free lunch. the auctioneer proceeds

is active, and in one day the harvesting
and marketing are over. Each purchaser
pays down twenty per cent. and has
credit for ninety days for the rest if he
wishes it. The crops may be removed
at the buyers convenience, provided he
does not interfere with the farm work.
BY this means all expense and risk OF
harvesting, storing and marketing are
saved To the owner Whether this pays,
the following must show. This state
ment (reduced TO dollars from the books
of the farm, was kindly given by one
large farmer at his city residence.

EATING TOO FAsT.-Ealing too fast
generally involves eating too much

this is, that the organs OF state, which

lowed sufficient voice; they are not allow
cd time TO take cognizance OF the pres
cnce of food ere it is pushed past them
into the leccSses OF the stomach. They
do not, therefore, have opportunity to
represent the real need OF the system,
and hence allow the crowding of the
stomach. | mold that thirty minutes
should be spent at each meal and spent,
too. in chewing the food a good portion
OF the time, and not in continued putting
