THE DAIRY.
The ART OF MILKING.

Milking ia an art, and, like all art,
must depend for perfection upon the
skill OF an artist. But many mixers
would never be accused OF possessing
artistic ambition or artists ways.
They are not born for the business,
and take no interest 10 il. The mixer
should have come knowledge CT the
processes of making milk and Of the
peculiar nature Of the COW. As a writer
has said, he should be quiet, ever tenn
pered, gentle, and regular and cleanly
in his habits. A COW abominates al
unclean man. Tobacco In all ite torme
is obnoxious to every department. Of
dairying. Ali the work about the herd
should be done with the utmost sy stem
and regularity-stable cleaning, groom
ing, exercise, watering, feeding, milk,
ing; a fixed time for everything and
everything at it's time. Nothing has
been produced which begins to compare
with the human hand as a milking ma
chine. Cleanliness and regularity are
the first req ~ljsites in good milking
Next, quiet and gentleness SHOULD be
accompanied by qlickness. Two milk
ers, one rapid and the other slow (Gbe

| animal can use in milk production.
The result is that the COWS give an
abundant flow of milk for a little
while, then dry up and fatten, and he
gets disguised with the dairy business.
If, however, he would substitute good
clover hay for the fodder, or if he had
the corn fodder and did not have the
clover if he would substitute ten pounds
of bran for the 10 pounds OF corn first
given, he would have q raticn that
would come very nearly filling his re
quirements. We give the above as an
example on one side.
A farmer ia growing pigs. He is
feeding them corn meal prior to wean
ing. After weaving he feeds corn al
together and gives them the run Of a
blue grass pasture. The result is that
his pigs become short and chuffg, very
beautiful to look at, but animated lard
kegs. He grumbles at the breed, wants
a coarse boned sire the next time, com.
plains of small filters, poor suckers,
and all that. II he has been feeding
black hogs, he wants red ones next
time sure, and if he has been feeding
red ones two or three years he wants a
coarser kind of red. The fault is not
in the breed of hogs nor in the color Of
the hair, but in his own brain. II he
will seed clover into his blue grass pas
lures az recommended elsewhere and
at other times, if he will with his corn
give plenty of separator milk, or not
having that give oats, his pigs will
grow to be thrifty, active, of any de
sirable size, the filters will be large,
the dams good suckers, and he will not
become noted az a kicker against the
breed that has served him and his
fathers before him we'll. The fault,
dear friends, is not in our stars but in
ourselves. Nature works no miracles

COW being accustomed to both), will
get about the same Quantity of milk in
any given number of days, but the
former will get the more fat. The
quicker the milking, the richer the
milk, il the work is done we'll and com,
pletely: the difference may not be
great, bat it is measurable in butter or
money.
Again, two men milking like guam
titles in like time, from the same COWS
or animals giving milk usually just
alike, will get different results as to
richness, and il they change places the
richer milk is secured by the same
man. The milk fat or butter fat comes
from the COW, but it is the expert
mixer that gets the most of it. There
seems to be ga underlined and yet CON
clusively proved relation between
some mixers and the cowst they handle,
which produces this result. It is Ger
tain that change of mixers. manner
or time of milking, irregularity, or
any disturbance at milking time, may
be expected to cause loss of butter fat
in the milk. In short, it pays, and
pays we'll, to have milking done in the
very best way, by the very best milk
ers that can found. A superior mixer
should be appreciated and as persist
emily as a superior COW; the former is
the more difficult to replace.
Yet even in some diaries that are
supposed to be well managed, the
milking is done by slovenly men for
whom a cow could have no respect, if
she wanted to. On the farm this work
is often regarded as chore, and men
who are tired by a long days work
are expected to do it. 1t ought to be
included in the days work. II men
from the fields must milk, let them
quit before the usual hour for quitting,
and in time to give them an oppor
tunity to wash and clean up. Have
some system about the dairy. Never
make it a side issue, but put it upon

SHROPSHIRE SHEEP.

S%hropshires have long been known
as the "gentleman's sheep" because of
their neat and compact bodies. AS NUT
ton producers they have no Supporters
and the lambs from Shropshire ewes
grow to weigh forty or fifty pounds at
a very early age says Farmers Voice:
In a flock We know Of there is a eve
with twin lambs either of which will
weigh forty pounds and this eve has
furnished milk for both the lambs and
has kept mutton fat all the time on
good hay, corn slower and a little
grain, chop and c~ottonseed meal. The
whole flock OF which this eve is a
member is fit for mutton, and now that
they are on grass they are almost too
fat for their own good. There are
something over fifty ewes in the flock
and they have nearly fifty lambs. Not
one Of the ewes failed to own her lamb
and all but one of them proved good
mixers. The wool from this flock will
pay the cost Of keeping for the year
and the lambs can be sold any day to
a local butcher for 81 each. The ewes
are worth probably 81 each and are the
most profitable stock kept on the farm.
Shropshires have been so carefully
bred and so skillfully selected that
they breed very true to the required
type and in a flock of pure bred Shrop
shires there will be very few. culls. Nc
breed Of sheep produces more choice
mutton in proportion to live weight
than these, and the farmer who chooses
them as his breed will not make
mistake.
