Ire 2igh. Way 9: Milking.

A practical farmer who had many years
experience il the management OF the dairy
aud paid the closest attention 20 the act Of
milking, SAYS that the milking OF cows re-
solves Itself naturally iucO two head,
namely how To milk. and when TO milk.
II is astonishing what difference there is
between good and bad milking. Ii every
drop Of milk in cows udder be not care
fully removed each milking, the secretion
will gradually diminish in proportion to
the quantity each day left behind. This
fact is accounted for on philosophical
principles. and is borne out in practice.
Nature creates nothing in vain. and secre-
ton of milk in the cow only sufflces to re-
place that which is daily lost. The milk
left behind in the udder is re-absOFbed into
the system and consequently the next
milking viii be so much the less in guam
tity.
But another reason why every drop OF
milk should be taken, is to be found in the
well-known fact, that the last milk is
double as good as the first; hence, if not
removed there is a double loss. Milking
should be conducted with skill and tender
ness. all ehucking or plucking at the teats
should be avoided. \ gentle and expert
mixer will not only clear the udder with
greater ease than a rough and iuexperienc-
ed person. but will do SO with far more
comfort to the COW, which will stand. well
pleased and quiet, plaeidly chewing her
cud. aud testifying by her manner and at
titude. that she experiences pleasure rather
than annoyance. from the operation.
Cows will not yield their milk TO person
they dislike or dread.
4 little practice soon enables the mixer
tn nerform the act with ease. rapidity aud
tenderness. The teat should be taken in
10 rhe palm and enclosed by the fingers.
which are pressed tighter below than
above. but not absolutely tight anywhere,
A portion of the upper part OF the hand
tbe thumb uppermost, embraces portion
of the udder. and the whole hand is drawn
gently downward toward the extremity OF
the teat between the thumb and forehnger
The hands of the mixer should De care
fully washed before comm eneing. Inc
teafs of the COW should also be washed 10
insure perfect cleanliness and also to cause
the milk to flow gently from the teats.

How TO COOK ICRNIP.-l Will ask
the reader to cook turnips in two different
WAYS. The first is to be peeled and sliced
and left to soak in cold water for an hour
or more. The slices are to be boiled until
quite tender. and then to be drained aud
nicely mashed with butter. This is the
most common way of cooking, and il has
the dement, of washing out The gum and
the sugar and the other fine constituents of
the root. and consequently the flavor is
very much reduced. The other root is to
be washed quite clean; but it is not to be
peeled. or cut or soaked. Boil il whole in
its Jacket" 1t will take twice as long to
cook as the one that was cut. When, by
trying it with a fork. you find it quite ten
der. take il up, peel it, press il moderately,
and mash it with butter. Instead of being
perhaps as you will expect, ''strong,"
frank" or "bitter." it will contain all the
nourishment that was in it before it was
cooked

We now require to consider when the
COWS are To be milked-a question again
resolving itself into two minor ones.
-namelv: Al what hours. and how often?
The ordinary practice is to milk cows
twice day-at about four O'Clock ia the
morning. or in the winter as soon after
daylight aS possible, and again at the same
hour in the evening, il thus leaving twelve
hours interval between each milking.
Some recommend milking three times
daily during the summer months. stating
a their reason that the cows are then
after calyius and flush of milkingS tend to
increase the secretion. There can be no
doubt bat that. when ied 10 proportion,
such a constant demand would necess alilv
increase the quantity Of milk secreted. but
then II is likely that the same causes might
produce such a depression IN the secretory
system a. would cause decrease OF milk
in the autumn aud winter. in about an
equal ratio.

THE HENRY +. MILLER PIANO-FoRTEs.--
The instruments from this establishment
are rapidly coming into public notice
and favor. and already occupy a foremost
position among irst-class pianos.
Mr.. Miller is himself practical mechan-
ic, and a thorough musician, and the SUI
periority which these pianos have over 9TH
ers, is owing in large measure TO the
careful supervision which each instru-
ment receives from the manufacturer be-
tore it is allowed to leave his establish
ment. The award of the contract to FUR
nish the public schools of Boston with
pianos must be very gratifying 10 Mr..
Miller. and is testimony Of the musical
public to the high position which these
instruments occupy. The serere tes. that
they have received at the New England
Conservatory OF Music. and at many 9TH
er public Institutions where they are in
constant daily use, is guarantee of their
many excellent qualities, and especially OF
their durability. They are used and rec
commended by lost of the leading must
ians Of Boston.

4 Pugp,eioVs Goat.

His head WIS thu shape and size Of
Bullitt County watermelon, snd he
was SO black that charcoal would
make q white mark on him. The
goat was asleep, leaning against the
side OF the house. The darkey was
smoking dscayed cigar. He espied
the goat looking at the lit end Of the
cigar, grinned, then at the tail end of
the goat, "grinned LOUDER" lookin q
all around to see that nobody was
looking; and touched the lit end of
the cigar to he tail end of that goat.
The goat turned handspring, and
the negro opened his big mouth to
laugh, but the goat butted him so
quickly between the chin and bree-
ches pockets that his jaws came to-
gether making a noise louder than
the report ola gun. The negroes hat
boots, and cigar lay in pile, ten
feet off, while his body was curled
up like a horse shoe in the mouth
of sewer opening. When he "came
to- he looked around at each one in
the crowd, and dispersed the crowd
by saying: "Will some OBJ you gem

MIsT00K.HER MAN.

A rather unusual occurrence took
place on street of Macon Sunday
night. A young gentleman was
quietly walking along homewa-d,
smoking a cigar, and wholly unap-
prehensive of any impending dan
ger. He saw, not far ahead, lacy
coming toward him, and, with GUS
tomary politeness, he gave her tie
sidewalk to pass. Instead of pass
ing, however, she halted in front of
him and rudely slapped him in the
face, and then began to claw him at
lively rate. "My dear madam, T"
began the unhappy young man,
but. without giving him time to
proceed, the lady commenced,
Don't dear madam me. Here
you've been out to this time of the
night, and all the children sick at

discovered that she he'd made a

HERE is something of probable
practical value;
To determine The weight Of live
cattle, measure in inches the girth
around the breast, just behind the
shoulder blade. and the length of the
back from the tail to the fore part of
the shoulder blade. Multiply the
girth by the length and divide by
IA. If the girth IS less than three
feet, multiply the 4uotient by II; if
between three and FIVE feet multiply
by 10; if between five and seven
feet by Is; or if between seven and
nine feet by 81. If the animal is
lean, deduct 100 Of the result, and
the answer is the weight in pounds.
This multiplied by 0.eo5 gives the
net weight.
