The RIGID Sanction.

There is constant complaint among
dairymen who tie the COWS by the. rigid
stanchion that they have a great many
cases of stopped teats and injured I'd
ders. Is it any wonder? There is
nothing under the sun better devised
to produce these troubles than the
stanchion, all caused by standing

Illness about the cattle, their attendants,

A person suffering from any disease
or who has been exposed to a conta-

Clean Food, Clean Milk.

Metal Milk Vessels
An occasional creamery patron is
found who uses galvanized iron milk

er be used in connection with the milk

keep clean and under the most careful
methods will become covered with a
coating of zinc oxide and fat which is
highly injurious to the milk. There is

METHODS OF MILKING.
Details That Add Materially In Sc
curing Best Results.


Almost every mixer has method of
MS own that seems most satisfactory
to him, and if the mixer and the cow
are on good terms and understand each
other minor details as rule are not
so important, yet there are a few
things essential, writes L. w. Lightly
in National Stockman.
First, the periods of milking should
be regular-that is. the periods be-
tween milkings should be as nearly
alike as possible, and the milking
should always be done at the same
hour. Second, prepare the cow for
milking This is best done by first
brushing the udder with a soft brush
or coarse dry towel and then wiping
t carefully with a clean moist towel.
This accomplishes two reSultS-it as
sures clean milk, and the gentle manip-
ulatlon eXciteS the Secretory organs,
the milk cisterns become tense and the
COW becomes very DESTROYS of being
relieved, and nothing is so pleasant
to her then as the pressure of your
soft, moist hand and the relief she
feels as the milk is being rapidly
drawn. Now, if you milk rapidly the
COW will give you the last drop Of milk
and put all the butter fat into it she is
capable of because of her favorable
mental and nervous condition.
When say rapidly speak compare
lively, as some COWS have very delicate
udders and others heavy muscular
ones, and what would be pleasure to
the one would be a torment to the
other, and she could not and would not
give you all the milk. No book or bull
letin can tell you or teach you this, but
you must depend on your own good
judgment
Of late considerable has been said
about the Hegelund method, which is
simply second milking Immediately
after the first or manipulation of
the udder and stripping. A good
mixer will get but few ounces at
first, but the cow will soon be spoiled
1--WE call it ''ferschippled') and hold
back a little milk for the stripping. A
poor mixer will of course get lots OF
strippings, and when he is done strip
ping the chances are that the COW is
not MIXED clean. We get many good
and practical hints from Denmark, but
this is not one of the practical ones for

the inside up and down is one thick

Raising Dairy Heifers.

We raise all the heifers from our
good rows, taking them from the cow
when about week old, give them new
milk Sor about week, then give it
mixed with skim milk for awhile, after
which we feed them skim milk as long
as we can spare it, if until they are
a year old. In that way they are as
well developed at two years as heifers
usually are at three.-Maine Cor. Amer

Contrasting the advantages of dairy
farming over grain raising, Professor
E. II. Harrington of the Wisconsin
dairy school says in Hoard's Dairy
man:
If the farmers of a section are not
accustomed to dairying. but have been
raising grain for generations, it will be
slow matter to change their method
of farming. There are very strong ar
guments, however, which can be used,
and they ought to convince reasona-
bic man of the great advantages which
dairying has over grain raising.
1t has been shown by chemical analy-
sis that ton of hay removes from the
soil about $4.31 worth of fertility and a
ton of corn little over S. worth
When the exhaustion of the soil by
these crops is compared with the fertil-
ity removed from land by dairying we
find that there is quite contrast be-
tween the two. A ton of butter sold
from farm removes only about so
cents worth of fertilizing ingredients,
and the ton of butter is worth at least
$500.
This contrast between the two kinds
Of farming-grain raising and dairying
lis one secret of the prosperity and
prOgressiveness Of dairy farmers
wherever they are located. Dairying
permits the utilization of certain waste
land on the farm, because cows will
Craze in corners and hillsides which
cannot be cultivated for crops. The
cows will, therefore, make this land
produce something and will retain the
fertility in cultivated sections of the
farm.
Dairying also gives employment to
the owner and hired help during the
entire year, and this is certainly an
important matter in manufacturing
business, which dairying certainly is.
The COWS are machines converting the
crops into milk, and so long as these
machines are kept at work they must
be paying their owners something. But
if they stand idle there is as much loss
from this kind Of idle machinery as
from any machinery in a large manu-
featuring establishment.

An inexpensive SiIo.

After all that has been said and
written in favor of silos and how to
build them, at almost every farmers
institute there are inquiries about
them, writes H. G. Manchester in Ru-
raj New Yorker. I am still Of the opin-
ion, after fourteen or fifteen years with
them, that dairyman who keeps ten
or more COWS cannot afford to be with
out one silo or more

Cooling Milk For Cheese.

It is not necessary to cool milk in
tended for cheese as thoroughly as
when the milk is to be marketed as
such, says American Agriculturist
Tactic acid fermentation need not be
checked further than to allow the milk
to arrive at the factory in good con-
dition. Cool the milk to the tempera-
ture of the air, keeping it constantly in
motion. This favors the escape Of vola-
tile animal odors, and the milk will
keep well enough for making cheese.
