become accustomed to the change and

Cows should not be abused, as any
Ill treatment affects their milk pro-
duction. On the contrary. they should
even be petted. as they respond won
derfully to kind and gentle treatment
in q way that is profitable for the
owner.
One mixer may be able to get 20
per cent more milk than another. The
mixer should not worry the cow by
loud talking or abuse Of any kind. A
COW should be MIXED quietly and
quickly. and as the last milk drawn
contains far more fat than the FIRST.
special care should be taken to get all
the strippings. Ih milking the whole
hand should he used. closing first that
part next to the udder. The cows

visable to keep the cows In the barn

With ten or dozen cows the farm

MAKING
FARM
-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-sOO O

A the skin and care with which i
Is managed. Owners OF little
farms who have transportation facili-
ties can afford to make dairy the
basis of their operations place OF
thirty to fifty acres will maintain a
dozen cows. without excluding poul-
try, vegeta bles and fruit.
The way to make such a dairy pay
is to establish reputation for high
grade milk. cream and butter. Private
customers can be secured who will
pay literally for these commodities IL
they are sweet and wholesome and
show evidence of Intelligent handling.
The owner must Insist on cleanliness
about the barn and In the pals and
cans.
One problem OF the dairyman Is to
keep the milk from being contaminat-
ed. either through dirt falling into II
or 10y its absorption of undesirable
odors. II the stables are clean. dry
and we'll ventilated there will be no
bad odors for the milk to absorb. or
course there should he no cesspools
about the stables. and the ground I'M
der the barn should be we'll drained.
Poor drainage cannot help but cause
Objectionable odors about the barn.
The udder and the tanks of the cow
should be thoroughly wiped with a
damp cloth before milking.
One of the cardinal points that a
good dairyman will observe In han
ding his cows is regularity In all his
work. He will feed the cows at def
mite hours and milk them at stated
intervals II COW is MIXED at

SPECIMEN OF THE ''BoARDER cow

SPECIMEN OF THE ''BoARDRR cow
In farming as a manufa curing enter
prise. In any other phase of industrial
activity such negligence OF business
methods would spell bankruptcy. The
Babcock test and a pair of scales make
II possible for every farmer to keep ac-
curate accounts with each COW In his
herd and where this Is done II does
not take long to convince the owner
that the COW that does not pay her
board had better move on. But as yet
the major portion OF dairy farmers have
not risen to the point where they test
each cows production. Through the
organization OF cooperative cow test
ing associations In number of differ
ent states Improvement Is being rapid
ly made. but it is probably safe esti
mate today to assume that 20 per cent
of the milk producing cattle in this
great dairy state of Wisconsin are not
paying their owners for the feed and
care which they require.
