How 10 MILK.

It is to be feared that generally too

through bad and careless milking, and
have been quite astonished to learn
how few mixers comparatively there
are who understand anything about
the cows udder or milk vessel. A
word or two on this point may not be
out of place.
The udder of the cow is divided into
two chambers by IN impervious mem
brane. This dividing substance runs
in the same direction as the backbone
and the milk from one chamber cannot
pass into The other. For this reason
it is advisable that the mixer should
operate, say, on the front and hind
teats on the side next to him, and,
having emptied one chamber of the
cows vessel, should then proceed with
the other. This is not, however, the
general practice.
It is customary to operate on the
teats of different chambers simultane-
ously, on the ground that that method
Of procedure preserves the natural
state of the udder, whereas such a
contention is quite contrary to fact.
I am fully persuaded that the method

killed Sarah Stout?" The origin OF this
peculiar cry destined TO annoy the noble
house of Cowper. which dates back to
the reign of KING Edward ~. is to be
found i'll the following story:
One of the recent Earls Cowper had a
brother named Spencer, who was a
practicing barrister. During the Hert-
ford aSSiZes he usually lodged at the
house of a quaker named Stout, whose
daughter fell passionately IN love with
him. One day both disappeared. and
on the following morning the body of
Miss Stout was found floating In the
milldam hard by. Spencer Cowper was
indicted for murder and was trisd and
acquitted at the following aSsiZes at
HEREFORD.
The Quaker society was sorely scan
daliZed at the idea of one of their sect
committing suicide, and collected per-
feet phalanX of doctors to prove that as
there was no water in the body. which
must have been the case had She been
drowned. she must have been killed be-
fore being thrown into the milldam.
Cowper defended himself very skill
fully, aud managed to lead the jury to
believe that he had repealed her ad
vanceS, and that thereupon she had
rushed out of the house and drowned
herself.
The English Quakers never suspected
this solution of the case, and have ever
since manifested violent antagonism to
the house of Cowper. 1t being due to
them probably that this cry of "Who
killed Sarah Stoutp" is still alive. Not
withstanding the suspicion that rested
upon Spencer Cowper. he was subse-
Quently raised to the bench as a baron
of the court Of the eXchequer.
