ENLARGING THE UDDER.
Why the Best-Pnying Cows Are
Found in Grnss Countries.


The relaxation of the udder sack be-
SO conspicuous in large mixers.
in some instances, as to make it evident
that the combined influence of expan-
sion and weight tension together have
overborne the natural contractive force
of the udder skin, thus permanently en-
larging the bag by destroying. or, at
least effectually ~suspending, its natural
and necessary contractibility. This re-
suit is clearly shown in the uncontract-
ing bags of cows that are dried only
with great difficulty and breed but
seldom, or fail to breed at Ill. The
skin or sack of the udder is. , . course.
thinned down, as yield and size of bag
increases, and this, when carried to en-
cess or effected too rapidly, is doubtless
the chief cause of loss of contractile
power in the udder skin. Increase of
feed being the cause of increased yield,
such feed as adds to the bulk of blood
increases yield and the size of the udder
together. This succulent feed, like
grass and roots, tends to enlarge the
yield and the bag, and in this will be
found a reason for the largest milk
producing cows being generally found
in the best natural grass localities. in
both dry and humid climates. Thus
the best grass countries in America do.
or surely will, with equal care and
training, produce the largest or best
yielding COWS as a rule.-Plowman.

Hint for Orchard Planters.

inexperienced orchard planters usual
ly manifest an inclination to plant large
trees. whereas an old and successful
planter would probably select one or
~two-year-old trees. The latter are, we
think, more certain TO grow, and often
make the more symmetrical appear
ance, for the orchardist can begin their
training at an earlier age. Large trees
lose more of their ibrous roots when
moved than do smaller ones. therefore
do not take hold upon the soil SO readily
nor grow off SO ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

SCIENCE OF MILKING.
There Are But Few Men who Under

There Are But Few Men Who Under
stand 1t Thoroughly.
1t is not everyone that can milk Il
cow as it should be DONE. Some can milk
wv COWS while another is milking one.
The operation should never be hurried;
neither should it be done slovenly; but
flows. Some cows nave tender teats,
and in milking too rapidly the opera
ton is likely to be roughly done. or if
toe much prolonged the COW gets ir-
ritated. A cow that is naturally i'm
patient and fretful does not like t. sub
nit to rough handling. and if contin-
ued her disposition will Dol be ruined
by such treatment. The constant prac-
tice of being MIXED at regular times
soon impresses itself strongly upon her,
and she will readily submit without
trouble. AS the udder becomes distend-
ed with milk, it is a relief to her to have
it drawn out. When the udders are
filed to the utmost with milk they be-
come painful, and if not relieved the
cow b. ONES restless. If this happens
frequently or for any considerable time
it will cause the COW to dry up pre-
maturely. Milk the cow dry. The last
portion of the milk is the richest AMI
best. In most cases neglect to mill:
regularly and clean is L cause of the
cows drying up early, of giving bloody
milk, of garget and other evils. With
kind treatment, regularity in feeding
and milking, the COWS will not only be-
come gentle and stay so, but will give
milk longer, and the seasons product
will be larger. A really good dairy cow
is too valuable to be given anything
but the best treatment.-St. Louis Re-
