SHOULD MILK A COW CLEAN
Operation Should Be Performed Twice
Daily and Have Periods Divided
Even as Possible.

Probably no single cause tends more
TO check milk secretion than the fail
ure to remove all the milk at the time
of milking, says liOard's Dairyman.
The presence OF even a little milk in
the ducts may act as powerful
check on the secretion of fresh
milk. Hence the extreme Importance
of clean milking; that is. milking the
COW dry. which will be found one of
the surest and best methods of pro-
longing the milk supply.
Generally twice n day Is sufficient: |:
and it is best to so arrange that the
period mentioned is divided evenly in
to parts. There are certain animals
which yield rather more by being
milked oftener. such cases being in
dicated by an undue distention OF the
udder between milkings. The most i'm
portant part to impress Is the extreme
necessity of regularity in the time OF
milking, for 1t has been ascertained
by careful experiments that the diff
ference OF an hour may, and often
does. make a difference Of as much
as nine per cent In the amount OF
milk yielded. Repeated Irregularities
of this kind soon tend to diminish the
flow of milk permanently. Weighing
the milk is the best means of register.

Care of Mare in FoaI.

A pregnant mare should always be
kept in box stall. 1t is afraid to
lie down in the ordinary stall for fear
of not being able to rise again, and
this constant standing up is very

In mild weather mares must be kept
In the open sheds outside. both day

a special place where it is tied to re-

BILE most of the feed. Roughage may
safely be fed from racks in the yard.

ROOSTER LOWERS EGG YIELD
interesting Tests Made at New Work
Experiment Staten on Presence
Of Miles in Flock.

The belief used 10 be general many
years ago that hens would not lay
without the presence of male bird
I'm the flock. And even today there
are a few people that contend the
male stimulates egg production To Il
greater or less extent. Men who
have raised poultry for years still
cling to this notion and persist In
keeping lot of males hanging about
where only eggs are wanted.
The New York Experimental sta
tion made mp four pens OF pullets,
two consisting OF pure-bred stock and
two Of mixed stock. With one pen OF
each class cockcrels were kept. while
with the others none were allowed.
The cockerels were put with the two
pens two months before any began
laying. Some pullets in each of the
two pens Ia which no cockerels were
put began laying n month before any
in the two containing cockcrels. The
fowls were Of the Asiatic breeds and

was made TO discourage any of the

number of .sitters in the contrasted
pens. or the oross-bred pullets the
lot without males laid better through
out the season and also during the
best egg season. OF the other lot
the one without males began laying
earlier and did better than the one
with males during the first part of
the season, but it fell slightly behind
for the latter months. though during
that period they kept even with the
lot which was accompanied by males.
II was thought that the vice Of feath-
er eating which broke out in this pen
had much to do with the falling OF
in egg production.
From these experiments it would
seem that the presence of males has
a detrimental influence upon the egg
yield. This is also the theory ad-
vanced by many in recent years. and
Il is now pretty generally accepted
by prominent egg farmers.
