Cows Holding ND Milk.

A correspondent of the Queenslander sum-
marizes the physiological pecularites of the
mammary glands of the COW in the following
manner, thus explaining why cows can hold
up their milk:'
The bag or udder is divided into four parts.
entirely dittinct from each other, except as
they are held together by membranous liga-
ments. The milk in each is held in continent
tubes, which, like the roots of tree. are all
contracted into one, just above the teat-the
milk entering that funnel shaped organ by a
single channel. Just at the upper end OF the
teat the walls of this channel are contracted
and the contraction is surrounded by band
contracting or expanding it at pleasure, max
making it operate like5 a valve. At
the junction of each smaller tube
with larger one is similar contraction
and band, also under the control of the will.
Ordinarily these bands are contracted las in
the neck of bladdar) so that the milk has to
crowd its way through them to get from the
smaller to the larger tubes. This is an ad-
mirable arrangement orIsustainng the weig hi
OF the milk equally in all parts of the udder,
and preventing it from pressing heavily upon
the teats. When the udder is full, if the milk
is drawn out of the teats, relieving the press
ure in them, it requires a vigorous effort of
down to fill the vacancy. If the udder is only
partly filled, she can hold the milk back more
easily and the less there is in it, the more
easily can she maintain the tension of the
muscular bands necessary to prevent entirely
the milk from flowing through them. When
the mixer first takes hold of the teats and be-
gins to milk the excitement causes the cow
to contract the bands so firmly as to hold
back the milk perfectly for time. But pres.
emily this vigorous contraction will begin to
pour through, and if all is quiet she will relax
the bands fully, when the milk all settles
down upon the teats, and if quicklyIdrawn II
can all be MIXED out to the very last drop.
But this perfect relaxation will only last for a
short time. II the milk is not soon extracted
tighten up the muscular bands again, and the
last past will be held back and permanently
retained when the mixer thinks he has got it
all, because 1t stops coming. A COW should,
therefore be MIXED quickly as well as quietly.
A calf will draw milk in three minutes, and a
mixer should come as near that time as pos
sble. II the time of milking is. much pro-
longed she will become impatient, and be
sure no to ''give down" perfectly. The
'quietest and quickest mixer gets the most
and best milk because he gets all the "strip.
pings" which are the richest part.

THE PRESS
FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
The Management Turkey.

The popular bird known as the Narragan-
sett turkey, originated on the shores of the
bay of that name, some years ago, and is
very largely raised in Rhode Island and East
ern Connecticut. 1t is large gray variety.
with lighter or darker shades, according 10
the fancy of the breeder. The most striking
and uniform feature about the marking of
the feathers is a white patch upon the wing
bow. Not much pains have been taken to
breed them to feather, as the chief thing
looked after is size. There is probably no
other section in this country &C least, where
turkey raising receives so much attention
among farmers, and where the average weight
of hocks runs so high as in the above-named
localities. The soil and climate are admirable,
no disease prevails, and the turkey crop is
about as sure as anything grown upon the
farm. This breed is the result of careful at
IGNITION to the selection of parent birds. and
good breeding, continued throughout many
years, The ear liest aud best formed birds
are selected for breeding every year. The
practice of breeding from two and three.
year-old hens is gaining in favor among the
more intelligent farm, though it is still the
exception. Great Importance is attached to
the selection of the male bird. He must be
perfectly formed, with a straight breast-bone,
rather coarse, stout legs, and proud carriage.
A young coquerel, weighing from twenty-six
to twenty-eight pounds at the beginning of
the breeding season, is the model bird to lead
the flock. The young hens should weigh
thirteen to fifteen pounds. 1t is not uncom-
mon for farmers in this region to get $500 or
$500 TOR their turkeys sold at Thanksgiving
and Christmas. II one is going into turkey
raising, it will pay to get eggs or birds from
stock that has been bred for a score of years
or mere, for their size. The Narragansetts
are well tested breed, and are hard to beat
In starting flock, we have invariably had
the best success with these birds. 1t takes a
little more capital to start the enterprise, but
a year in time, and the advantage of seeing
the stock aud knowing what sort of birds
are likely to be raised, are gained. We have
now conscientious poultry breeders, who
have given years to the study of their bust
ness, and when we buy their birds we reap
the advantage of their long experience. - Cor

Understandings i'm Winter.

Some years ago we gave directions for cut
ting underdraiDs in winter; but as there are
many idle laborers at the present time, who
will be glad to obtain work al small wages,
we offer on the present occasion some addi-
tional suggestions. The chief object in win
ter ditching is to avoid the difficulty of frozen
ground, which some regard as impossible ia
severe climate, but this difficulty is easily
overcome, if simple precautions are taken,
Farmers who are hurried in spring and sum
mer, and men who wish to obtain employ
ment the year through, will both be benefited
by performing what draining may be accom-
pilsbed at this season.
The ground selected for the work should be
dry Tor not soaked with water), which is
nearly always the case with soils in winter,
the heavy soaking coming after the spring
thaw.
Different farmers have their various modes
for beginning ditch, some saving labor by
blowing narrow land on the intended line,
throwing the earth outward, and leaving a
dead iurrow where the ditch is to be, and re-
peatlng the operation once or twice more,
Others prefer smooth, level surface, aud do
all the digging by hand, or loosen up the soil
with subsoil pillow, to be thrown out BY
hand. 1t is Of course advisable to start either
with few burrows with the pillow, or by dig
ging first foot deep before severe freezing
weather sets ID. Alter that, the bottom of
the ditch is kept fromfreezing by always leav-
ing over night few inches ofsmellow earth
in the bottom. If this is well pulverized. it
will be so good nen-conductor of heat that
the hard earth on which it rests will not be
frozen. If the soil is wet, it cannot be per-
fectly pulverized, and hence the Importance
of working iD dry soil, as already stated
The only precaution, therefore, to prevent
the bottom from freezing over night, or dur
ing other absence of the diggers, is to loosen
up the earth as the last thing before leaving,
and the more finely it is broken the better
II subso or dtchiBg pillow is used. it may
be passed few times for this purpose; if the
work is all done by hand, the ditcher loosens
up mellow bed with his pick. When the
work is resumed, the loose earth is thrown
out, and the work goes on as before. When
the digging is completed, the tile should be
placed in position and covered TO a small
depth with the last fresh earth thrown out,
aad it may there remain till spring, when the
remainder OF the earth is thrown in. 1t will
not do to leave the ditch open without plac-
ing the tile in position, as freezing md thaw-
ing will partly fill it with the crumbling earth.
II laying the tile is carefully done, it may be
commenced at the lower end of the drain,
and the work extended upwards as the dig
giDg progresses in that direction.-Countru
Gentleman.

PUTNAM. Conn., March 20, 1869.
Gentlemen-I avail myself of this opportunity to
say word In behalf Of DIR. WISrAk'S BALSAM
OF WILD CHERRY, which 1 have made use of in
my family for several years, and always with the
most beneficial results. My wife being of delicate
habits has always been troubled with hard, dry,
hacking cough, whenever taking little cold, and
has employed various specifics without obtaining
any rele until prevailed upon to test the virtues of
WISTAR'S BALSAM, the effect OF which has been
truly astonishing.
More than year since young man belonging in
this place was aiken with bleeding at the lungs, in
connection with most severe cough, and was
finally gwen over to die Ly our best physicians and
it was evident to all that pton claiming
him victim. Learning these facts my vile sent
him bottle of the BALsAM which he took and in
due time, to the great astonishment of his friends,
at his accustomed O, cupation, snatched, as it
were, from the very jaws of death. In many other
eases we have administered the BALSAM to the con-
sumptlve, and always with the best OF success.
These statements simple facts, which can be
vouched for at any time by calling on me at my
store. remain truly yours,
