Milking.

In milking do not seize the teat
between the thumb and forefnger
and drag down until the end slips
from the grasp of the digits. Do
not grasp, with the hand pressing
the nails into the teat, with a
squeeze and pull. Grasp the teat
with thumb partly upwards, and the
fingers in their natural position
when closed, next the udder, and.
closing the fingers in succession,
force the milk downward, with a
gentle pull on the udder. So pro-
ceed alternately with each hand,
going farther and farther up into
the udder as the flow ceases, until
you have all the milk drawn. Thus
you may milk easily for yourself
and the COW; in fact, the COW soon
comes to like the manipulation. If
few simple rules founded on com
mon sense were observed in milk
ing, instead Of kicking cows and
holding up of the llilk, we should
soon find our COWS gentle to handle,
and much yexation would be spared
to the mixers. It should, however,
be remembered that in milking cows
gentleness is a cardinal virtue.

JUDGE BANTER has not yet ap-
poin ted a Receiver for Memphis, and
will no. do so until the questions iu-
volved in the case have had full and
fair hearing. The Memphis appeal
says of the Judge:
Judge Baxter is a clear-headed
lawyer, IaPid thinker, and impulsive
in disposition. When he is wrong, he
is equally right. On the bench he is
sometimes grave and stern, and again
gay and humorous. He puts his ideas
in exceedingly strong language Occas-
iOually, when he gels warmed up in
explaining q point under discussion.
II is evident that he came here pre-
determined TO appoint Receiver, aud
In this determination he may have
been legally right, but he gave the op-
posing lawyers grand bounce" be-
lore they had time to open their bat
TBStles against the appointment of
Isece'ver. He spiked their guns by
unouneing that "he would make the
Eppolhtment." and they had to fall
