mans honest estimate of himself ought to
be worth considering The trouble is most men
are not honest in Judging of their own qualities;
If they were there would not be so many mis-

Good Milking.

Tests at the Storr's Experiment Sta
ton show conclusively that the amount
of milk given by the cows and the
purity of the product both depend
greatly upon the method adopted by
the mixer. One young man, who said
he could milk, was given charge of the
milking of six cows. At the end of
a week the quantity given showed a
shrinkage of twelve per cent. In an
other experiment, in which five boys,
previously taught as to proper meth
DDS, were tested as mixers. four in
creased the flow seven, ten and five
per cent, respectively. The following
instructions in regard TO milking are
in use at the station.
The mixer should milk regularly,
thoroughly and quietly. He should
wear clean clothes, wash his hands
before beginning to milk, and never
wet them while milking. The COW
should be brushed before being MIXED,
and her flank and udder wiped with a
damp cloth i'll order to minimize, as
far as possible, the number of bacteria
floating about in the vicinity of the
pail, and likely to get into the milk.
To the anne end the foremilk should
be rejected. and the milking done into
covered pals, with strainers arranged
for the milk to pass through. Reject
ing the first few spurts of milk from
the teat removes the milk containing
Objectionable germs. The cleaner the
milking is done, the fewer the germs
