TALK ABOUT MILKING.
Many Promising Covvs Are Ruined
= Yearly Through Fear Caused by
Improper Treatment.

''Train up child in the way he
should go, and when he is old he will
not depart from it," is as true of prac-
tical;every day duties as of lessons in
morality, etc. A duty often neglected
by many farmers is that of properly
training the boys to milk. This in
cludes something more than the SIM
pie operation of drawing the lacteal
fluid, although it is an art, and proba-
bly, not more than one in ten persons
are experts; that is, thoroughly under
stand the art and practice it in sci
entific manner. The child in training
should be old enough to understand the
sponsibility, should be neat as posi-
BILE as to clothing and especially as re-
CARDS the hands. A few lessons on
this point of personal cleanliness will
instill right ideas, especially if demon
strated in the habits of the teacher.
Theory and practice ought to go hand
in hand here:
Next in Importance he should be
taught to properly care for the COW;
should see that the udder is free from
all dirt and if soiled to remove by bath
ing in tepid water and wiping dry be-
fore beginning the operation of milk
ing. If the udder be clean apparently
it should be we'll brushed to remove
loosened hair, scurf, etc. The temper
or temperament of the cow submitted
to his hands should be understood also.
If of a nervous disposition he should
be taught to soothe and conciliate,
when she is taken with one of her
moods" instead of trying to coerce
with blows, always remembering that
it is only the simple justice and mercy
which higher organism should show
toward a lower, to do so-besides, being
matter of profit and loss. A cow will
not do her best under coercion. She
may be made to behave better, but
that is as far as your authority can
go. !. Nature will outwit every time,
and the proper flow will be withheld
until she gets into better humor.
Many cows are yearly ruined through
fear caused by improper treatment. Do
not! send your boy to take his first
lessons in milking of the hired man,
unless you know him to be we'll trained
in all preliminaries; ten to one he will
march direct from the stables of a
morning with clothing full of inde-
scribable suggestions, and as a neces.
sary preliminary fill his mouth with
tobacco before beginning operations.
If possible the girls should also re-
ceive instructions from one competent
to give them. The best milker we ever
knew was a woman; it was a positive
pleasure to witness her performance.
The rhythmical flow as the hands rose
and fell was enjoyable as music, while
all the movements were graceful.
Farmers to this class the world
looks for its supply of milkmen-
to it that the next generation of milk
ers understand their business.-Mrs.
A. c. Mcpherson, in Forest and Home.

A PLAIN PROPOSITION.
quality and Not Numbers Is What
Gives Character and Reputation
to a Dairy Herd,

II is not the number of COWS in YOUR
herd that gives it character or makes
it reputation, but the quality of the
COWS. Some of the best known and
most successful breeders in America
have always had comparatively small
herds, not exceeding so COWS all told.
But the cows have been of the very
best, to begin with, and were bred with
wisdom and fed iberally but judi
ciously.
No one can succeed in building up a
great herd who breeds at haphazard,
without system, and no one can de-
velop great cows who feeds niggardly.
Discretion in breeding and liberality
in feeding go hand in hand where sue
cess is won. Better 20 first-class cows
than 100 inferior COWS. This is a fact
that beginners should bear in mind in
buying. Better pay $500 for what YOU
realty want than $100 for what YOU
don't want. Better sell two, three
or even four moderately good COWS
and buy one first-class COW with the
proceeds if you wish to win rank as a
breeder and establish a reputation that
will enable you to command your own
prices for what you offer for sale.
There are few herds in America
where there are never any females fol
sale, and rarely any males. The in.
crease of the herd are always engaged
before they are dropped. The reputa
ton of thes herds keeps them from
growing.-Jersey Bulletin.

horse a veritable dragon, a sheet of
white paper in the road an awful
chasm, an open umbrella a terrible
bugaboo, man on bicycle coming
toward him some flying devil from
which he must flee for his life, and
when We stop and think of the matter
seriously we cannot blame the horse
for what he does not understand.
But how different the action of the
horse when he understands what all
these things are. When he has had an
opportunity to calmly and carefully
examine them and every other new
thing, he becomes perfectly Indifferent
to them all. Therefore when the horse
SHES at anything is the time and place
to make him acquainted with that OBJ
ject without punishment, but by en-
couraging words, and if necessary go
to the object of fright in advance of
him and show him that it is nothing to
be afraid of. Let him examine it with
his nose, look at it from both sides re-
peatedly, and the job is done for all
time. But try to force him past it with
the whip, and he will become more and
more afraid of it, as he associates the
frightful object with that of the pun
lshment, and the more sensitive he
is the more dangerous he becomes.
While we should be firm with our
horses. we must at the same time let
them know that we are their friends,
protectors. providers and educat tors.
Everything the horse does for us is a
matter of education. Then is it not the
plain duty of everyone who handles
horses to understand this matter to its
fullest extent? Whatever the horse
understands he is willing to perform.
Then let us take great pains to educate
our horses in the line of work we desire
them to do. and then there will be but
little complaint in relation to their
bad habits, their unrelia bility OF
treachery.

"HOW COME YE ON7"

Long ago, when boyhood's boon was mine.
I knew a man far in life's decline,
Whose daughter and wife in the church.
yard lay,
Whose son wore the convict garb Of gray.
Disease and p0verty's cruel pinch
Sapped his vitality inch by inch.
Yet he ever seemed tranquil and content:
Never from him was heard lament.
Thus he when we met: Good morning.
John.
How come ye on?'
Decide and explain it, you who can!
Whose soul was as white as his face was
black,
Was the possessor Of wealth many rich
men lack;
For his serenity failed him not,
Neglected. ill-favored, deformed was he,
When he cheerily hailed: Good morning,
John. A-.a.ua
+ How come We on?'
Remote are those days of joy and trust.
And mine aged friend has long been dust.
But oft when from life'S load grow faint,
When open my lips to vain complaint,
A friendly nod and kindly look
TO fretful impatience a rebuke-
Clean from the mists of that cherished
time;
And the old mans voice, like sweet bells
chime,
Calls out from the past: Good morning,
John,
How come We on?''

What Makes a Good Farmer.

What Makes q Good Farmer.
The best farmer is not always the
one who derives the most profit from q
farm. Happening to grow certain
crops that failed elsewhere, or chance
rise in the price of some product, may
result favorably to anyone who is so
situated as to take advantage of oppor-
tunities. A good farmer keeps his
house and ground in perfect order.
weeds are not allowed on his farm, he
uses the best breeds of animals and the
most productive varieties of plants.
while the farm is not allowed to de-.
preciate in fertility. DR.. Alfred Ken
nedy, the eminent agriculturist, once
made the remark that he could easily
judge of the knowledge and capacity
of any farmer the moment he noticed
how the manure heap was managed.

Changing the Cow Pasture

A correspondent of the Wisconsin
Agriculturist says that three or four
times the past season he has changed
his COWS from the home pasture to an
other about a mile away. He thinks
the latter pasture has the best grass
or certainly has the most feed, and it
is equally well shaded and watered as
the other, yet in two or three days
after they are put there he finds a
very marked shrinkage in the milk
product, and he cannot account for it
excepting that it is caused by the travel
to and from the pasture morning and
night. He believes that COWS will vol
unfairly take but very little exercise,
in which opinion he differs from those
who fear they will suffer if they are
not turned out every day in the winter.
We believe that one-half if not more
of those who advocate this idea of The
need of exercise do so because they do
not want to exercise themselves by
cleaning out th4 stables after the cat
tle have stood in them. .........*

Selection of Dairy Feeds.

A dairyman can add much to the
profit of his business by judicious Sc.
lection of his feeds, and also by taking
advantage of varying conditions of the
markets. Locality frequently gives to
feed price beyond it's actual feeding
value. This is particularly true OF
timothy hay and oats and yet many
dairymen will stick to these two feeds
with perseverance worthy Of bet.

on the farm. It would be much better
business to let the city man have them
at the frequently advanced price and
use. the money to buy cheaper nutri-
ents in some other form. This is where
a little use of pencil, paper and table
of feeding analyses will bring valua BILE

THE NERVOUS HORSE.
Give Him q Chance to Examine
Things That Brighten Him and
He Will Become Reliable.

The most nervous horses are those
finely bred, highly organized and often
the most intelligent. says DR.. j. c. Cur
YER, in the Practical Farmer. They are
on the alert for everything, quick to
take alarm and in moments of sudden
terror act so quickly in what seems to
them necessary to prevent bodily harm
that they are really dangerous ami
mails under the circumstances by shy
ing, boiling and running away from
an imaginary enemy, all of which
might be obviated by a proper early
education. The horse, like ourselves,
must learn everything, and the more
highly organized he is the more read
lily he will learn, through the agency of
man, what to be frightened and
what will do him harm. How .nn we
tell what awful suggestions strange
objects offer to the minds of horses?

The Profitable Dairy Cow.

The COW which yields generous re.
turn for the food consumed is the one
for profit and the one that it will pay
to feed generously, and the cow which
will profitably convert the largest
amount of food into milk or butter is
the most profitable to keep. But such
cows must have the raw.material out of
which to manufacture milk. It takes a
certain amount of the food consumed
to maintain the life of the COW and it is
the surplus over and above this from
which a profit i possible.-Rcral

whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation-
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell, and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date Of
March, 1899. the mother writes again
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter of all
