A thorough preparation should be made
before milking. In the first place the
floor upon which the cows stand should be
thoroughly swept down into the gutter ev-
cry day. The cows should be carefully
carded and brushed every day when stand
ing in the stable. This is not so impor-
tant when they are in the pasture, but
even then it pays.
Before beginning to milk, a thorough
cleaning of the sides, udder and under por-
ton Of each animal should be given. For
this purpose broom is exceedingly con-
venient. The cows sides can be easily
swept down with this, then, taking the fiat
side of the broom, a thorough rubbing can
be given the udder and belly. With a
piece of cloth the udder and teats can be
carefully wiped-the whole operation not
occupying more than a miRute for each
COW. 1t is best to clean the whole herd
with the broom first, then follow with the
cloth. By this time the dust will have
settled to a considerable extent, and the
work can proceed rapidly and neatly
1t is presuppOsed that the mixers hands
and pals are perfectly clean. There are
still other chances for milk 10 become con-
taminated. 1t requires very careful wash
ing, scalding and airing to keep the pans
sweet. The simple pouring in, and out
again, of boiling water Is not enough.
They should be kept in boiling water for
10 minutes at least-then thoroughly dried
and covered. Milk set in open pans often
receives dust and impurities from the sur
rounding atmosphere and from the ceiling.
The mllk.room should be thoroughly clean
ed and whitewashed, and its windows COW
cred with fine netting.
Another source of trouble Is the con-
tamination by odors. Milk and butter are
peculiarly receptive of odors, and all
sources of these should be removed. 1t
assuredly requires constant care and effort
to make dairy productions first-class, but
their increased value pays richly for all the
extra trouble.

A moderate, even temperature, co. to
650 +. is the best to prevail in the milk
setting room. Do not keep the cream UNI
til it is week old, simply because the
weather is cold, for thereby it will develop
the bitter flavor so ruinous to its quality.
Churning should be done two or three
times a week, and to prepare for it the
cream may be ripened by regulating the
temperature surrounding it. A fine shade
of color has much to do with the salable
quality of winter butter. For this purpose
do not rely on any home preparations such
as carrots, or annattOine expressed by your
own hand; buy the best commercial prep
aration in the market, and use II iudiciously.
Do not make the mistake of over-colortng
the cream so a. to result in reddish butter
such an unnatural tint Is a frequent and a
grave fault in home diaries. Wash the
granulated butter with cold waller as in
summer, and observe the same precautions
in working, sailing and packing.
That farmer spoke an everlasting truth
that said in Wisconsin farm institute:
my friends. one cold fall rain will iniure
my cows and sheep IKore than standing out
whole day, dry cold weather." He fur
ther said that it took a deal of time and
preaching to jog him into the idea of put
ting his stock under shelter in the fall. al
am convinced" he added, "by the expe-
rience of only five years, that have lost
money enough by neglect in this particular
in my life time to pay for my whole farm
1t pays me big profit to see that my stock
are kept comfortable the year round"

The Old Praeti,. and m. New.

OF late years the whole practice of dali
rying has changed. 1t used to be that cows
were pastured through the summer, and
the butter was packed away for sale late in
the fall or in the winter. Then the buyers
went around and bought up the stock made
in the summer The cows were dry by
the first snowfall, and were merely kept
alive through the winter and turned out on
the fresh grass in the spring. There are
many farmers who got so deep into this
old rut that they could not see out of
1t and notice that they were left behind.
and were going on alone, and quite out of
sight of their wide-awake nelghbors. And
they are still plOdding along in the same
seclusion.
But others, on the lookout for improve
ments, changed their methods and man
agement, and are making their cows work
and make profit every day in the year that
is possible, and for the time they must
rest this Is chosen when it costs the
least for feeding. Thus winter dairying is
the basis of the new practice, and by high

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
A Chapter of Dairy wisdom.
suoe.ss D,p.nds on me Thlngs.


So says John Gould in the American
Agricuturist: In the first place the stable
should never be allowed to get In disorder,
but be kept clean and tidy, and above all,
whitewashed, and the cobwebs swept down /;
and 1t will be found that sprInkling the
cutters each few days with that cheap
est of all di infectants, road dust, will give
the barn a healthy tone, that will repay
over and over for the little trouble that 1t
requires. While 1t may be true that it
does not directly pay to feed the cows
grain through the summer, it does pay in
other ways, notably in having the cows
form the habit of coming from the past
ures, Of their own accord, towards milking
time, and replaces the use of dog. The
grain ration may be very small; one pound
of seconds each, daily, will be ample, and
is best fed at night.
Pet the cows and make them understand
that you are their friend, and have no &C.
cason to dog or worry them, much less
maltreat them, to show that you are their
master. A stiff brush and a spring curry
comb are in the ,ture of connecting
links between owner and COW in the way
Of confidence, though different cows have
different ways Of expressing their feelings.
No one ever made COW better by brutal
treatment, though many a COW, by heredi-
ty and ca ly environment, has been made
vicious. Treat such as well as one may,
thew will no traachprous
The cows love for warmth should be
humorel. 1t is only the cows response to
an instinct that tells her that milk-giving
and cold are never allied; and that the
man who best recognizes this fact, and
provides warm sheltered hooks in the
yards, and warm, well lighted stables, will
best succeed in his undertaking. Cows, as
a rule, are not stabbed early enough in the
fall, and, in practice, a COW that is little
hungry will do better than one that is cold,
and warm stable is to be preferred to a
nights occupancy of field of good feed,
if the wind is raw and cold There are
some general principles to be observed in
dairying, but quite as much depends upon
the little thing, that every man must OBJ
serve and put in practice to achieve sue
cess.

Feminine Dairy Wisdom.

An old bag is a useful thing with which
to rub the sides and flank of the cows about
10 be MIXED. Particles will adhere 10
them where they lie, even in the cleanest
stables.
No better winter dairy house can be pro-
vided than a part of the house cellar prop
erly lighted, ventilated and whitewashed.
The floor ought also to be cemented. IL is
better for the family's health than the stor-
age of vegetables.
Brush the dust and cobwebs from the
windows in the stable and let in the sun
light.
Every animal loves light and sunlight
and will thrive in it.
DO not give the cows ice water to drink.
Warm drink makes more milk.
Are you feeling your cows simply to
keep them alive? Add little and make
a profit.
DO not lei any of the animals get run
down and poOr-there is no economy in
that, but great waste. The skillful dairy
man will never do it.
Do not let the cows get constipated the
result of too much dry feed
Feed bran, linseed meal, roots or apples /;
sweet apples are best.

to the halter.
A COW well broken to the halter and
gentle is worth much more than one that
is unnanageable.
The air must be kept pure In the COW
stable, and in order to do this it must be
kept clean and dry.
Use plenty of plaster to absorb the am
monia.
Gilt-edged butter cannot be made when
the cows are kept in foul-smelling, poorly
ventilated stable.
Do not put off churning until convenient
hut churn the cream when it is ripe
whether you have much or little.
1t costs as much TO make butter that will
sell for soap grease as a first class article
that will sell for fancy price.
Cater to the taste of your customers. II
they want sweet cream butter, furnish it
put up in the most perfect and attractive
manner, and it should be sold and used at
once.
Sweet cream should be churned at
lower temperature than sour, and it takes
longer time for it to separate, otherwise
the same rules apply to both.

1t was a long winter for Mr. Piper. He
was obliged to keep indoors, and his tenn

From the window he watched the branches
OF the willow waving triumphantly in the

bark, evidently made by an ak. 1t was
not new cut; and remembering her hlis-

Mrs. Piper's mind possible explanation
of his injuries.

Tho Necessity or warmth for Cows.

NOSoH'Ny VI hUA CU"Hs
The late Col. Curtis sail. 1t Is cheaper
to raise the temperature of a COW stable
than that Of barnyard. Stop the holes,
batten the cracks between the sidings, and
make every thing snug, warm and comfort
able. 1t requires an extra ration to warm
a COW after she has stood shvering on the
leeward side Of a barbed wire fence, with
the mercury below zero, from o'clock in
the morning till p. NJ. And remember
that food, even straw, costs money. "To
make two blades Of grass grow where only
one grew BEFORE" has been pronounced
COOL work, but 1t will be better work, and
there will be more profit in it, If the dairy
men learn how to. produce two pounds Of
butter or cheese this year from the same
number of cows and the same outlay Of
money for food.
Testing each COW, wedding out the un-
profitable ones, and replacing them with
those he knows are profitable, will do It,
Test each COW and find out for certainty
whether you are keeping her at a profit or
a loss. II she is losing money for you turn
her over to the block Don't sell her to

Another Myth Exploded

The fable of the so-caled cliff-bullders
and cave-dwellers as distinct race or races.
has been absolutely exploded in science.
The fact is that the clff-dwellers and the
cave-dwellers of the Southwest were Pueb-
10 Indians, pure and simple. Even a
careless eye can find the proof in every
corner of the Southwest. 1t was a ques-
ton not of race, but of physical geogra-
ply. The Pueblo cut his garment accord
ing to his cloth, and whether he burrowed
his house, or built it of mud-brcks or
stone-bricks or cleft stone, atop a cliff or
in caves or shelves of its face, depended
simply upon his town site. The one in
flexible rule was security, and to gain that
he took the ''shortest" cut offered by his
surroundings. When he found himself
as lie sometimes did in his volcanic range
in region of tufa cliffs, he simply
whitfield out his residence. In the com
moner handbook caflons, he built stone
houres in whatever safest place. In the
valleys, he made and laid adobes. He
sometimes even dovetaled all these varie-
ties of architecture in one and the same
settlement.-Jdnudru Scribner.
