When Milkinq.

No loud talking should be permitted
during milking. Go about this work
promptly and quietly, with as much
regularity In the time Of milking as
is possible. Some successful dairy
men milk their COWS by the watch"
and are very particular about the
exact time each COW is milked. They
are also careful to have the same
COWS MIXED by the same man in the
same order. Experience has taught
them that regularity in milking aids
in developing a tendency to prOlone
the period of lactatiOn. Always milk
With dry hands: moistening the
hands with milk or water during milk
ing is one of the most filthy prac-
tices imaginable. Wooden pals
should not be used as milking pals,
as they easily get sour and can only
be kept thoroughly clean when new
Tin pals ought to have all seams and
cracks flushed smooth with solder in
order to make them easy to clean.
This soldering should be done when
the milk pals are bought and before
they are taken hOme.-PrOf. f. H.
