MANIPULATING THE UDpER.
System Developed by Danish Scientist
Proves Valuable Under Test.

II is well known that the average
mixer gets less milk than he who
does a thorough job; that incompe-
tent milking means not only direct,
but indirect loss, not only an imme-
date lessening of the fat yield, but
tends toward drying the cow. A Dan.
ish scientist has recently developed
special system of udder manipula-
ton, sort of massage of the mann
mary gland, as it were, which it Is
claimed augments the flow. The
Hegelund method, as 1t is called, in
wolves three manipulations, each
thrice repeated or until no more milk
is obtained. First, the pressure of the
quarter on each side against each
other thrice repeated, followed by re-
moval of the milk; second, the pres
sure of the glands together on each
side, the fore quarter being first ma
nipulated and then the hind quarters,
followed by removal Of the milk, and,
third, the fore quarters are pressed
between hand and body, the hands
| holding the teats loosely then the
hind quarters also, followed by milk
ing. Trials of the schemes made at
the Wisconsin and New York stations
, accorded a daily average increase
per cow of a pound Of milk and two
ounces of butter. The after milk was
very rich In fat, testing about ten
per cent. This after milking takes
not to exceed five minutes time,
often only two or three minutes. The
two ounces of butter may be held at
a low estimate to be worth two cents.
This would be fair pay for five min
utes' WORK, "a cents an hour and the
skim milk thrown In. Not only is
more milk and butter made, but the
secretion Is stimulated, and the lacta-
ton period prolonged. 1t may be re-
marked, however, that the differences
In milk and butter yields between
this method and careful stripping are
not great. The Danish method EN-.

OLD Mich cows.
Those Rightly Fed in Early Life VIII
Return a Profit.

If COW has been rightly fed for
all of her life she will be good COW
when she becomes old A COW that
has been overfed for years will have
become burned out" by the time she
Is 10 or IL years OF age. The COW
that has never been fed to bring her
up to her highest capacity for milk
giving will have fixed her habits of
milk-giving at low point and will not
be valuable as an old COW. She
will therefore have to be disposed OF
to the butcher several years before
she otherwise would have gone out of
service.
1t has been found by the Minnesota
station that multitudes of cows, il fed
on a properly balanced ration and
with large amount of succulent feed
the year around. would increase their
capacity for milk-giving. This is what
develops the capacity of the COW. A
great many cows on our farms are
never fed with the idea Of getting out
OF them the greatest amount of milk
possible each year, with due regard to
the health of the cows. If this Is done
the old cows will still be giving large
mess OF rich milk.
We know of old cows, says writer
In Farmers Review, that are still
proving profitable because they have
had the right kind of treatment. They
are not overfed at one season of the
year. They are not given green pas.

Is the greatest help in the right feed

gans OF the cows and gives succulent
food the year round. The little wear
on the vitality of the animals brings
them to old age in good condition
and with many years Of usefulness be

The Hereford Cows.

There Is some controversy In re-
gard to the milking qualities Of Here
fords. The whole question of milk
ing as affecting this breed, or, in fact,
any other, is simply a matter of
training, and the practice Of letting
the calves run with the cows is very
injurious from the dairyman's point
of view. The practice followed by a
very successful breeder of Herefords
is to take the calves from the cows
when about week old, and rear
them by hand, keeping the calves
simply in growing state, and in or.
der to develop their milking qualities
out allowing them to become overload
ed with superfluous fat when young

DEHORNiNG CHUTE.
Continuance Which viii Make the
Task of Dehorning an Easy One.

One of the good points about this
chute is the hinged doors on the rear
end, which make 1t possible to adjust
the chute to any size barn door Where
the width OF the rear end of the chute
is stationary, and cannot be adjusted
to the door as shown in the illustra-
ton, there is often foot or two of
space to be divided between the two
sides. AS our readers who have had
experience In dehorning know, an ami
nal will always choose to pass through
this small opening rather than into the
chute, and thereby cause constant
aggravation. The chute proper is
mounted on two heavy timbers which
may be four-by-fours or four-by-sixes,
while the uprights are generally four

such reclamation. On the Jura noun
