Holding Back the Milk.

A COW carries her milk from one meal of
her calf to another, or from one milking to
another, held firmly in reservoirs dis
tributed all through the udder, says the
Southern CuLtiudtOr. The valves which
open and close the passages from those
reservoirs 20 the teats are under the control
of the will, but. like the muscles which close
the neck of the bladder, they are naturally
and constantly kept closed, and are only
relaxed and opened by special effort of the
will. At milking time these valves, by
relaxation of the cords which control
them, are opened. and the milk let down in q
flood upon the teats. This relaxation does
not last long. After little the special
effort to hold open the valves ceases, and
they instinctively close again, shutting off
the flow from the reservoirs to the teats.
and retaining in the reservoirs any milk
which may have not passed out. The habit
of "giving down" consists in shortening the
time of this relaxation, thus stopping the
flow from the reservoirs to the teats before
the milk is all drawn. The circumstances
which tend to make COW shorten this
period Of relaxation are rough treatment,
fear, grief, solicitude, loud noises-in short,
anything that attracts attention and makes
the COW uneasy. The circumstances which
produce prolonged relaxation are comfort
and quietude, and freedom from disturb
ance and excitement together with the re-
lief which the flow of milk occasions.
When cow has, from any cause, acquired
a habit of shortening the time of Getting
down." it is very difficult, aud sometimes
impossible, to overcome it, The best way is
to avoid all occasions of distur bance, and
observe well those which promote pleasure
and quiet for the COW, and to milk as
rapidly as possible consistent with comfort,
with a view to getting the milk before the
''letting down" ceases. Milking rapidly
does not mean jerking sharply or moving
with hasty or irregular motions in the
presence of the cow. Such course would
counterfeit the very thing aimed at. The
motion of the mixer should not be such as
to attract her suspicious. They should be
deliberate and cool, but when set down to
the milking, nothing should be allowed to
interrupt or retard the work. This will in
ducs continual letting down. by giving con-
tinual relief to the udder. The mixer
should bear constantly in mind the fact that
the letting down is short. and that every
moment should be availed of to the best
advantage. When the milk ceases to flow
the milking should stop at once, whether it
is all out or not. There is no use in hanging
on after the milk stops coming, as it only
cultivates and confirms the habit of "hold-
ing back" To give a cow the least possible
occasion for holding back her milk is the
best way to prevent her from forming such
habit. and the surest and readiest way to
make her forget it after it has been formed.
To break up the Objectionable habit let the
milking be quick, easy and regular.

which existed in the hay and straw of
which the manure was formed The writer
has seen different crops of weeds growing
on his grounds, brought from different
stables. Commercial fertilizers are free
from weeds.
8. The wind blows many seeds into the
garden. Some seeds, as those of the dande-
lion and thistle, are formed for this mode Of
dispersion.
4. The melting snow aud running surface
water may introduce other weeds from our
neighbors' grounds. Streams running
through thegarden may carry many seeds.
5. Other seeds are in the droppings of
birds, and some are carried in the mud on
their feet.
o. Railway trains carry weeds and dis
tribute them about the country with great
rapidity.
z. Some seeds cling to our domestic
animals, and are thus introduced into our
grounds.
8. Other seeds cling to the clothing of
man and are carried from place to place.
Whenever an army passes through a coun-
try. weeds unknown in the region before
spring up. Thus in Georgia, after Shsr-
mans invasion, and in France, after the in
vasion of the Germans, pestilential weeds
are said to have appeared in abundance.
The broad-leaved plantain is called by our
Indians the "White Mans Footmarks," be-
cause 1t springs up on his camping ground.

Farm and Stock Notes.

Cultivation of the soil is at the founda-
tion of our civilization. Without it there
could be no permanent abiding place for the
family. 1t would seem desirable, then. that
our farmers lie taught the greatest
wisdom, that they may see and rule wisely,
and their muscle strengthened to give them
physical endurance for every emergency or
struggle.
A temperature of from CA to &C. is neces-
sary in churning, and as the weather be-
comes cold the churn and cream must be
warmed. The temperature can be easily
regulated by the aid Of cold and warm
water to reduce or raise as required. The
churn itself may be very cold, and some
dalrymen pour warm water into it, and
then renew it before putting the cream in.
There is no reason for retaining an I'M
profitable COW, yet in all dairy stables may
be found cows that do not pay for their
food. The profit derived from the best
COWS is made to cover the loss from Others
1t is easier and cheaper to keep only a few
good cows than to retain a large number
composed of animals Of different degrees of
quality.
In Ohio the walking gait of horses is en-
Outraged. At the state fair a walking
match was arranged, the time for four
niuths of a mile varying from 4. 10 to 5.45
Each horse drew half ton of coal. 1t is
worthy Of being made part of the pro-
gramme at all fairs, as the walking gait de-
serves more attention than it has received.
1t is claimed that if grape vineyard is
plowed to the depth of four or five inches
very late in the fall in thorough manner,
50 as to burn all of the grapes and leaves
that have fallen completely under, the rot
may be prevented the next season, as the
g..

The horse is blanketed to prevent colds,
while the cow is turned out to face the
storms. The COW cannot endure cold any
better than other animals, and though it
may not be necessary to blanket her, yet
she should have saed, or some other pro-
lection in the barnyard

Popular Science.

A new principle in steam packing, re-
Gently brought to notice, is claimed to meet
the difficulties hitherto experienced in other
methods. 1t consists in the employment of
a common eccentric ring hooked together
by clamp, which forms part of the ring
it,elf, and this hook clamp limits the ex-
pansion of the ring and changes the whole
principle of its action. The rings are cast
heavy, rough turned, very much larger than
the cylinder, piece cut out, sprung to-
gether and fitted with the hook clamp or
shoes, left slightly larger than the cylinder,
and then returned to a tight fit; the rings
can compress to q limited extent, but can
not expand. In use, when the engine is first
started, and the hot piston moves to the cold
end of the cylinder, the rings compress and
allow it to go free. but, when both cylinder
and piston gets up to working temperature.
the rings just fit and work without any
pressure and very little tendency TO wear ::
filing out the hooks compensates for wear
when it has taken place. The hook clamp
is made longer at one end than the other.
the object of this being to break joints
when two rings are placed side ard side in
the same groove, and thus cut off the leak
that would other wise take place through the
gaps.

Why Boys Leave the Farm.

Why do our boys leave the farma is
question that is often asked and variously
answered, and, in attempting to answer it,
D. Z. Ats says in Home and Farm: With
out attempting to notice the many reasons
'nat are assigned for the aversion which
most country boys have for the farm,
would like to express the views Of young
farmer, one who was bora and reared on
tae farm, and who was often tempted -
'eave the farm for some other calling or
profession. One Of the first reasons for his
aversion 10 the farm is the pessimistic view
d farming that is usually held by his father
ana neighbors. It's not a remarkable fact

merchant, the mechanic, ETC., always

ers fail. They are not formers from choice.
but by circumstance. Now. to be success
ful, we must honor our calling. Every
farmer ought to be able to say that lie had
rather be farmer than anything else.
Fancy physician a success who considers
MS profession dogs work; yet most of our
farmers belittle their calling, grumble
from one years end to another, and then
wonder why their boys leave the farm for
the town or city.
Another reason why the farmers son is
prone to leave the farm is the tone of the
school books, biographies, newspapers and
magazines of the day. In word, they are
educated to leave the farm. Take our
school readers, and there you will find
sketches of merchants, lawyers, military
men, artists and authors, but, so far as
have seen, never a sketch of farmer. Elk
anime catalogue of library books, and
there you will fl ID biographers with titles
somewhat like this: LOG Cabin to the
White House," Country Boy and Mer-
chant Prince" indeed, biographies of law
yers, merchants. bankers, machinists and
inventors, etc.-anybody and everybody
but an agriculturist.
The same is true of our magazines and
newspapers. Even so-called agricultural
journals are guilty of the same practice.
Now why is it So? Are there no farmers
worthy of imitation? Most assuredly
there are. WHAT would be moro entertain
sketch of Daniel Dickson. Parish Furman,
Dr. M. w. Phillips, Capt. Peterkin, jeff
Welborn, or "Steele's Bayou" and many
otherss Want of society is another reason
why young people leave the farm. 1t
would do much good if the farmers would
pay more attention to social matters. A
want of social intercourse on the part of
farmersi is ha 1t. and not necessity. There is
reason why the farmer should not enjoy
social life as much as the townsman. In
fact l think Il do not know, for l never
lived in town, that his social opportunities
are better. 1t is true much of his time is spent
in the field, but not more than the clerk or
factory operative spends in the store or
factory, and his vacation is certainly
longer.
On the other hand, the alliance the
means for social and mental Improvement
If there is not one of these organizations in
your neighborhoo1 start one Immediately.
The farmers'a lliance is a very popular
organization in the south; it takes mem bers
as young as the age of Is. Take your boys
and girls into the alliance, take them to
farmers institutes, agricultural meetings,
etc. Get them interested, show them there
is something about farming besides blowing
and hoeing. Give them plat of ground to
cultivate as their own, and let them have the
proceeds. Encourage them to take and read
agricultural Journals. Teach, them that
farming is just as dignifed and honorable
as any other vocation. And. above every
thing else, don't take your brightest boy and
educate him to the last notch for some pro-
fession, while his brother grows up in ignor-
ance. This is a mistake that your fathers
made. 1t used to be thought that any fool
could be successful farmer, but experience
has proved it to be mistake.
