.ENLARGING THE uDDER.

Why the Best-Paying Cows Arc
- Found In Grass Countries.
The relaxation of the udder sack be-
comes so conspicuous in large mixers
in some instances, as to make it evident
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 efectually suspending, it's 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 all. The
skin or sack of the ertis, 81 course,
thinned down, as yield and size of bag
increases, and this, when carried to ex-
cess or effected too rapidly. is doubtless
the chief cause Of loss Of contractile
power in the udder skin. Increase of
feed being thescause of increased yield,
euch feed as adds to the bulk Of blood
increases yield and the size Of the udder
This shce1 dent feed, like,
grass and roots, tends to enlarge the
yield and the bag: and in this will be
found 2 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 q rule --Plowman.

+ It is not everyone that can milk
cow as it should be done. Some can milk
two cows while another is milking one.
The operation should never be hurried;
neither. should it be done slovenly; but
the milk should be drawn steadily as it
flows. Some cows have tender teats,
and in milking too rapidly the opera
ton is likely to be roughly done, or if
too much prolonged the COW gets ir-
ritated. A cow that is naturally i'm
patient and fretful does not like to SUBJ
init to rough handling. and if contin-
ued her dispositionWi soon 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. Wien the udders are.
filled to the utmost with milk they be-,
come painful, and If not relieved the
COW becomes restless. If this happens
frequently or for any considerable time
it will cause the cow to dry up pre-
maturely. Milk thecow dry. The last
portion of the milk is the richest and
best. In most cases neglect to milk
regularly and clean is one 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

It seems to be well understood that
a man is taller. at morning than at
night, but it has remained for a young
woman named Fry to discover that the
,boHghs of trees hang much higher ID
winter thantin summer. Doubtless the;
low hang of the summer is because Of
the weight &c the leaves. but it lis a
surprising thing that the difference Isl
so great as reported by Miss Fry. She
found that certain branch of a mul.
berry tree was 81 inches higher in
December than in August, and weight
of IS pounds was not enough to make
the bough assume its August attitude
