Psychological Milk.

A curious fact in the psychology of cows
is communicated to the world by the staff
of the Technical College at Chelmsford,
England. Cow-study has taught these ex-
perts that the cow is full of nervous SEN
sibility and given to likes and dislkes. To
a sympathetic mixer, who is in harmony
with her, she will yield much more milk
than to a brutal, stolid, or unsympathetic
mixer. For instance, one Chelmsford
milky mother of herds, gave her favorite
mixer IL pounds OF milk, while to less
agreeable or intelligent hand she afforded
only 10. Our farmers do not give time
enough to cow-psychology. The moro
psychology, the more milk.-Everybody'
