in an enormous development Of udder
and an almost continuous milking peri
cd in the best cows
Tho Secretion Of Milk.
There are two general theories ad-
vanced in regard to the secretion Of
milk The metamorphic (meaning
change Of form, claims that the milk
Is due to breaking down OF the cell
structure of the udder. We can hard
~ accept this, for it would be almost
impossible for a COW to build up and
break down the cells to the extent of
as high as from so to 100 pounds of
milk per day.
The transudation or filtering theory
claims that the milk filters or oozes
through the tissues from the blood as
it courses through the udder. Neither
can this explanation be wholly true,
for constituents found in milk are al
most lacking in blood-fat, for ex-
ample.
A combination of these two theories
appears reasonable. AS the blood
courses through the udder from it are
taken substances to build up thou
sands and thousands of tiny cells stor.
ed with materials which afterwar1
form the greater portion Of the soli1
constituents of the milk. All day long
these cells keep developing, and tha
udder grows larger and larger. The
blood is charged with an extra supply
Of water.
The cow has now the materials in
readiness to make the finished product,
milk. We have provided her with food
and water With these she has carried
on the manufacturing process to GER
tain point. but she needs some outward
assistance to finish the work thorough
Iy. She gets this assistance from the
calf when it presses the teat in it's
mouth or from US when we likewise
squeeze it in our hands.
We place our hands on the teats
thinking We do SO in order merely to
| draw the milk, but we do much more
than that. We are coworkers with the
COW in helping her to make the milk.
and the better we understand our part
of the business the larger will be tho
returns
Action Of the Nerves.
| The materials for the milk are stored
in the cells of the udder and in the
blood Its final secretion Is brought
about by the action of the nerves;
hence the great Importance of the
nervous constitution. IL COW were
giving ten quarts of milk at a milking
and she were killed just before being
milked there would not be found In her
udder or any other part Of her body
more than a quart of milk. Too much
stress cannot be laid upon this fact
that the making of the milk Is largely
completed just at the time OF milking.
Intelligence and kindness on the part
Of the mixer at this time determine
to great extent not only the guam
/ tity but also the quality Of the milk.
when we press the teats we excite
the fine network nerves in the udder.

MORE THAN HER OWN WEIGHT In BUTIEh
IN YEAR.
These nerves act on the cells. breaking
them down. At the same time the
water filters through the tissues. car
rying with it the mineral matter from
the blood The materials from the
broken down cells and the water unite
to form milk. which finds its way
through the minute channels to the
milk cistern at the top OF the teat.
| whence the milk is dra wn by the down
| ward pressure of the hand on the teat
through the teat canal and escapes.
1t takes the fat globules longer to get
to the outlet. hence the reason for the
richness of the last milk drawn.
Milk is a product which is subject to
| remarkable changes while in the body
of the animal secreting it. Intense
pain. fright. anger. all leave their
traces in the milk In the human
mother the first two of these have
been to infuse the milk with poison
land to cause commissions. and some
times the death Of the nursing baby
1t is reasonable to suppose that what
is true of the human family applies
more or less to such a highly develop
ed. sensitive animal as the dairy COW
Some cows leak their milk. This is
due to the muscle at the teat opening
being too lax. It may be remedied
By a rather risky operation. Other
rows are very hard to milk, the muscle
being too tight. Remedies are giver
!or this defect also.
The flow OF milk is usually grea.er
in the morning and the percentage "i
fat slightly lower than at the evening
milking.

essary FOR COW for one day. A bal
ancec ration is one in which the carbo-
hydrates, fat and protein are in the
right proportion to each other One
pound Of digestible protein to six
pounds of digestible carbohy drates and
fats is considered about right.
Alfalfa is one of Gods greatest gifts
to the dairyman. For feeding value It
comes nearer to grain than to hay
With plenty of corn silage ana alfalfa
hay very little grain is needed to keep
up Il good milk flow One ton of choice
alfalfa hay is said to equal one ton Of
wheat bran in food value
Glover hay is one of the easiest crops
on our land, is excellent in food value
as milk producer and a good food
to give well favored milk and butter
Any Objectionable flavor found in rank
clover pasture is overcome in the we'll
cured hay. Next to clover might be
placed hay made Of peas and oats
TO have prime oat straw for feeding
It is wise to cut the oats little on the
green side.
Nothing will prove more profitable
than a patch Of sweet corn for fall
feeding for the cows. Plant it early
in convenient place. Plant thinly
so as to have good strong corn. Sugar
cane or common field corn also makes
good autumn feed
Into every hundred pounds of milk
the COW puts eighty-seven pounds of
water. A COW to keep up Il heavy
milk flow must have all the clean. pure
water she can drink The average
milking COW will take from eighty to
hundred pounds Of water rrr day
We should induce the COW to drin'
plenty The ideal way is to have wa
ter always before her If this is not
convenient she should get water twice
day.
It is out Of the question to talk of
| tempering the water. but if the chill
| could be removed the cows would Ger
tainly drink more.

ahe work thus being done, the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, under the direction
Of Professor E. l.. Morgan and his
assistants, has, during the past winter,
conducted an especially interesting
social survey and census. Entire
townships were taken, In widely
separated localities, aud the facts oh.
tained and tabulated.
Some Of the facts thus collected, re.
lating to the individual farmer, were:
land owner or tenant; number Of
children; church Ithember; drinking
man; moderate drinker. or tetotaler;
money in bank, money owed, credit
good or poor; number Of children In
college. or high school; daily, weekly
or monthly papers taken: books in the
home, etc.
The tabulation OF answers 10 these
questions brought to light some start
ling facts: as for instance, the rele-
ton Of drinking, or Of church member

credit standing, and children in col
