SrRIpPING-All dairy-women know tina,
strippings, or last Qlilk obtained from the nd
der,alc richer IN butter gloDulrs than the Of her
portions CT the milk. This Is especially tIr
case when the cows remain at rest before milk

the pasture 10 the milking yard and note TN,
result. Although 1t will make no difference In
the butter product whether tho strippings, il
taken, lie churned separately from or in con-
neciion with the cream of the other milk oh.
taued, it Jccs make a large difference In both
the quantity and quality of the butter produced.
Fence we have always insisted that cows for
the dairy, and, especially cows that are kept for
furnishing the family with milk aud cream, be
not excited to the dctriment Of the quantity of
the milk In the case of these latter cows, tho
srippiugs are ofconsequence rs furnishing milk
for coffee, etc, nearly equal in richness 10 the
cream itself. Dir. Anderson, of Edinbuig, Scot
land, who has gwen much attention TO subjects
connected with milk, has proved by actual
;lualy sis that The last gill of milk drawn from
the uldur Of u COW contains sixteen times the
amount Of cream incident 10 the first one, the
separation of the cream from the k taking
