MILKING JERSEYS.
Prize Essay, by D. w. Voyles.

Thorough milking, performed IN the
light Of full information in regard to
the anatomical construction Of the
udder and the chemical constituents of
the milk, is an act Of the greatest i'm
portance to the overs of Jersey cattle.
The art of milking consists in the re-
moval Of the milk in the udder at the
time of the act in the gentlest possible
manner, and by rapid process, slow
milking being always bad milking.
When being MIXED the COW should
be in a condition Of absolute %quietude;
if excited by the act of stabling, she
should be allowed time to quiet down.
No condition is so favorable to the
milking process as that feeling of
safety following a full feed. The udder
should be thoroughly cleansed, and the
teat first chosen gently squeezed on its
tip end in order to overcome the con-
traction of the sphincter muscle and
thus facilitate the flow, after whichthe
milk should be drawn as rapidly as
possible. There is a feeling of relief
when a distended udder is being
emptied, to which a COW responds, and
to which she will continue her consent
to the end of the act, if it be not too
long delayed, that it is not only of
valuable assistance in the process, but
without which it cannot be perfectly
complete.
The first teat selected should be
MIXED perfectly clean before passing
to another, and so on until all are
emptied, by which time the first teat
MIXED will be partly reflled by the
second flow" when the second round
should be made in the same order as
the first; but in adopting this system
OF milking, the same teat should not
be chosen at every milking for the be
ginning, because the first quarter of
the udder emptied has the assistance
of the compression made by the three
remaining distended quarters, and the
IasC one MIXED has no assistance from
THIS source; If, therefore, the same teats
be always selected in the Same ordo,
the teat first MIXED wouId douoIo1
that quarter OF the udder to increased
capacity, while the last quarter emn+ioS
or partly emptied would correspond
ingly diminish in capacity. This foot
can be taken advantage of in the do
velopment of deficient quarters by

always emptying them first until the
udder is balanced by their restoration.
Whether, in the act of milking, the
teat shall be caught high up OF COM
preston made from it's middle or lower
half only, will depend upon the nature
and construction of the udder and teats
in each respective case. If the teats
are of good size and have good open
ings leading both into them and out,
the COW can be MIXED easily and
rapidly by either plan; but in the case
of a cow that has a small opening lead
ing from the large milk pouch into the
teat, whether the teat Charge or small,
and whether it's terminal opening be
large or small, the udder cannot be
emptied by drawing on the teats alone,
but compression must be made high
UP, and include enoughOf the adjacent
udder to force the milk out Of the
lower and large milk-pouch into the
teat. This act is performed at the risk
of producing varicose veins at the base
of the teat that will eventually develop
into chronic garget, but not to perform
it on this unsatisfactory class Of COWS
is to allow them to retain so much Of
| their milk as to become early shippers
and valueless animals.
Cows having fat udders usually be-
long to this class, and require the exer-
else of a great deal of patience and
| skill in their management in order to
preserve their usefulness. In the hands
of a careless and unskillful mixer they
soon become of little practical dairy
| value.
When the fault of hard milking is
due tc a small opening in the terminal
end of the teat, the remedy is artificial
distension; but with a correspondingly
small opening above, no operation can
remedy, since if the teat be emptied
easily and rapidly the udder above
cannot respond through a small pouch
opening in reflling the teat, but will
continue to give down the milk in a
dribbling manner
Cows that are imperfectly MIXED,
from whatever cause, either careless
or imperfect milking from the fault OF
the mixer, or from the difficult task
by reason of the anatomical cOnstruc-
ton Of the udder as herein described,
soon degenerate into worthless animals.
The milk that remains in the Udder
from imperfect milking is that which
is held by the small pouches or milk,
vesicIes high up in the bag, and will
form a curd which will excite inf1am-
nation and destroy the ~sccreting func-
ton of it's mucous lining, or cause the
adhesive and complete closure of the
cavity or pouch.
It Is the experienced OF every dairy of
twenty five or more COWS MIXED pro
miscuously by three or four mixers,
that a contest is always waged for the
privilege Of milking 'old Rose" be
cause he milks easy, AMI a stunning
disposition displayed by all in reference
TO eight or ten others that no Il cares
to milk. To OF able to milk the hard
ones with patience and skill is the
qualification that should and must be
! attained nv a Succasafu1 GairVman.

East and West at the Fair.

Western papers show an intense in.
terest in the worlds fair, which Is in
marked contrast with the apparent in
difference OF the East. We believe
that Eastern indifference is only ap.
parent and that when the fair is at
last fully underway there will be no
lack Of attention given it, but at pre-
sent the general feeling in the East
seems to be one of reserve and eau.
tious distrust. Jealous New York news.
papers have not failed to repeat and
amplify every story of Chicago narrow.
ness and thrift until those who con-
template visit to the fair only won
der whether they will get back with
their skins and scalps. Throughout
the West the newspapers, great and
small, have for weeks been printing
columns Of news and gossip about this
colossal exposition, and of course they
would not do this if there was not u
demand for that kind OF reading.
The fact is that the people Of the
West travel much more and much fur.
ther than the people Of the East. The
average Western man or woman thinks
nothing of thousand mile excursion
The distances between points of inter-
est or importance are vast. The aver
age fastener looks upon trip to
Chicago as a remarkable journey.
The view of money also has much
to do with it. In the West it is quick
ly made and lost and carelessly spent.
An easy lberality, which with us uswould
be reckless extravaganza, is there the
rule. 1t is part Of the blooming" po-
licy of Western life. ''If you are not
wealthy have wealthy ways" appears
to be the motto. In consequence of
this different attitude in the matter of
travel and expense the people of the
West will go to the fair in muc h
greater numbers and from far greater
distances than the people of the East.
There is a general public interest in
the West because the general public
is going to the fair and the newspapers
can not print enough about It for
them.-Lancdster MteUigencer.
