An experienced dairyman makes a
practice OF larding the teats of the
heller cows the first few times they
are MIXED A short time before they
are milhed he applied the lard to the
teats. After the milking operation he
wipes the teats carefully with a dry
soft clOth and then applies another
coating OF lard. which is allowed to
remain undisturbed. In this way sore
teats are avoided and after FIVE or
six milkings the teats have become
seasoned 20 the new experience.
