cow HOLDING UP HER MILK.

One of the mysteries that troubled
my boyhood days was how COW
could hold up her milk, and that
same matter is worrying a good many
people yet The fact is, a cow does
not and cannot hold up her milk, but
she does what has the same effect,
she fails to elaborate it. Most of the
milk COW gives is elaborated; that
is, becomes milk after the milking
has been begun. Suppose cow were
shot just at the time of milking, and
her udder cut open, do you suppose
you would get the bucket full of milk
you would have expected had you
proceeded to quietly milk her in the
ordinary way? On the contrary, you
would have nothing but a bunch Of
milky, bloody glands. The milk is
not there. By some process known
only to nature, the milk producing
system of the COW relaxes when milk.
ing begins, the milk glands secrete
very rapidly and the stream flows out
in response to the pressure.
Sometimes, however, the milk fails
to respond to the manipulation as at
other times, and then we say the COW
is holding up her milk The fact is
the proper relaxation has not taken
place; the glands are not working
with their accustomed activity, and
we fail to get the milk because it Is
not there to get. Many causes pro-
duce this effect. The cow may have
been chased or frightened in an un-
usually way, she may have been beat
en-, strange mixer may be at her
side, strange people may be in the
yard, her accustomed feed may be
absent, or any other matter that dis
turbs her quiet or prevents her from
feeling entirely at home, may have
this unhappy effect. Some COWS are
much worse in this respect than 9TH
ers, because some are much more
easily disturbed than others.
The point is to learn the cows dis
position and make her feel entirely at
home at milking time. You may
break her from undesirable habits,
but you must do so at the expense of
a portion of her milk until she gets
accustomed to the change.-Up-to-

him to have spotted field. half good plants

power of a field and meant hardly an hours
additional work over the crop. The &C
companying picture shows one of the de-
partments fields of big tobacco planted
from heavy seed. and 1t will be noticed that
several of the plants in this lot are topped
with paper bags to save and protect the
seed of the most desirable plants. 1t should
be said, too, that the big plants take but
little more out of the soil than the small
ones owing to their deeper roots.
That Is briefly the scheme for increasing
the yield of a field But there are a great

no individual farmer could possibly do All
the work so far has been in practical ex-
perimenting. There has been no chemical
analysis to speak of, though this is contean-
plated and vail be a valuable adjunct to the
other work. A few chemical facts have
been discovered, however, and one Of the
most important is that an acid leaf is a
bad burner while an alkaline leaf is good
one. Thus 1t is easy to see that potash or
some other alkaline fertilizer is the thing
to use and any fertilizers giving acid salts
must be barred.
There are many interesting things still to
be discovered in the work. One Of them is
not only the best shape and best burning

so that cigars will keep even under COM
paratively rough handling. The depart
ment has Just got in special testing ma

1t may be objected that all this indicated
the spending Of a lot OF money on polite
vice. And In fact the w. c. T. U. and
lot of well-meaning men and women have
already been after the department for TAX

haye~jast come back from a trip by boat
and train from the tobacco region of Mary
land. where in the course of the trip they
delivered lectures to about 1 200 farmers
all directly interested in raising tobacco
The farmers took very kindly to the sug-
gestions of thes Department. and @there Is
every reason to believe that the Maryland
crop next year will be materially benefited
The work has been going on for more than
a year In the Connecticut valley and has
proved great success there.
The selection OF tobacco seed Is a more
complicated matter than the selection of
corn or cotton seed but 1t has been pa
tiently worked out by the department, and
while the results already attained are large.
they promise to be much more important
in the future.
Maryland Crop Run Down.
AS to the selection of seed, it may be said
that the tobacco crop of Maryland has
greatly run down. Tobacco is a rapacious
plant and takes a great deal out of the
soil. 1t had been thought for long time
that this was one OF the principal troubles
with the Maryland farms But it was found
that the crop could be increased and I'M
proved on the very ground that had been
raising scraggy crops without spending any
more money for fertilizer than was done be-
fore. The crops on most OF the Maryland
farms were dwindling In size. There were
stunted plants, more and more of them each
year, and more and more freaks plants
with split leaves and strange development,
