COW from Scotland, that could not be
made to give over eight quarts of milk at

We aiuiply throw out these hints at

test the milk from each by aoeiqhf, not
by measurement. When a COW gives a
fine flow of milk, and that milk turns
ont good supply Of butter according to
the weight of the milk, take care of her,
