liable advice on how to keep cows and
handle milk; they will tell you how
to make more money from cows.
Milk samples brought to the car will
be tested free of charge, and advice
and instructions given, based on the
results of the test. In order that these
tests mya be as correct as possible, it
is suggested that the samples of milk
brought to the car represent at least
two milkings. These should be taken
in the following manneri After milk
ing the cow clean stir the milk thor
oughly and then Immediately dip about
a gill of it into another receptacle.
Both samples of milk from each cow
should be put into one receptacle. 1t
is also of advantage to be able to give
some idea as to the quantity of milk
produced by each COW at time when
the samples were taken. Daily dem
constructions will be made in the han
ding of milk and cream.
Subjects of importance to the cot
ton planters including early planting,
