DAIRYING IN MISSOURI.
From the Rural World.l

Lawn Al AsoAaa "oAAAsl
The dairy boom in Missouri is i'm
mense. We arc glad our farmers are
giving attention to this industry, but
they sheuld not. go too fast. We do
not want any reaction, and there will
be if they go into it before they are pre-.
pared for it. There are a number Of
things to be taken in consideration, be-
fore starting a creamery. And first
there must be the proper number OF
cows secured, without any contingent
cy. And it is not the number only,
but the quality of the cows, that is:also
to be considered. A radical change in
the management of cows must be
made. Cows that have been allowed
to let their calves run with them, or
that have had their calves turned to
them, night and morning, and then
partially MIXED by hand are not the
COWS that are going to amount to very
much. This system must be changed.
The calves must be taken away from
their dams within three Or four DAYS,
and if raised at all, fed on milk by
hand. This is the system practiced
throughout the dairy regions of the
world.
Then there must be good mixers,
and each one must have the same COWS
to milk night and morning, as change
of mixers tends to dry up cows, each
mixer having his own way of milking.
And all must be quiet in the milking
yard, or stable-no beating, or yelling,
or smoking; kindness must rule in the
dairy. One that cannot keep his tenn
per has no business with cows. Good
mixers in u state are scarce, but the
demand for them will bring a supply,
and farmers should know they can
have them before engaging their milk.
In Il few weeks anyone can learn to
milk well if he wants to. The idea
that anyone can't learn to milk is alb
surd. Start him ON the easiest COWS,
and keep him at it. and he will soon
learn to extract the fluid from the
udder.
But good cows and good milk hands
are not all that is necessary. There
must be something to produce milk.
Milk comes from food raised on the
farm for COWS, in the way of pasturage.
And there should be an abundance OF
this. A COW will consume one hun
dred pounds of grass per day the sum-
lnef through. Ii the pasture is short,
the ground almost bare, where will
they get this quality of grass? Each
COW needs about three acres of pastur-
age, and if it is not provided, it should
be. Spring is here, the very season
for sowing clover, orchard grass, timo.
thy, redtep, bluegrass. Sow any or
all of these, and a pasture can be OBJ
tanned that will fill the udder Of COWS
to overlooking, and that is what is
wanted, plenty of nutritious grass, all
the year, to fill cows udders, SO they
will give plenty Of milk, which will
Yield an abundance of cream and make
dairying profitable and satisfactory.
And there are other things to be con.
siderea, such as meadows and corr
fields to supply food for winter, and
stables to protect the cows from cold
and storms; but of these some other
time.

A Winter Lesson.
NJ T. BURTON woLLAsroS.


Iron Cassell's Magazinc.i
When winter lays her spell on glade and glen
Till every tree is shivering, and the springs
Are robbed of all their melody. and when
Not ono poor solitary robin sings.
There ia a fountain flowing. even then,
Deep in the rock, hard by the haunts of men.
The frost 10 always powerless to reach
Its hidden pulses, and 1t seems to teach
To eyes that see it-that the lives we keep
Are deep, or shallow, and the chilling touch
OF sorrow harms not those whose springs ar
deep,
For they are patient and can suffer much;
And though the storm be long and fierce ant
hard,
They fall not-for they have their own reward
