Do you know how TO milk?
The question in neither irrelevant
nor impertinent. In sober fact, a
great many persons who milk cows
twice a day really know little about
the true art of il. and great many
more could add TO their present
knowledge.
The writer OF this article met one of
the men la the dairy division of the
United States department OF agricul-
ture who knew how TO milk. He was
a tall. quiet gentleman.
I'll just drive the COW in the Office
here" he said. And he did. She was
pasteboard COW, TO be sure, but she
served very nicely to illustrate several
things about milking. And following
are a few of the essential things that
this man who knows how to milk said
about milking.
First Comes Cleanliness.
The first essentials are clean,
healthy cows and a clean, healthy
mixer.
The next, perhaps, is a clean and
sterflized pail with a narrow or par
TALLY covered top.
The COW should be curried before
milking to remove loose hairs, dirt and
dandruff. This should be done If pos

THEATER'S GOOD OLD DAYS"
Example of Rough-and- Ready Meth,
DDS of Stock Companies of the
Odep Time.

David Belasco said at theatrical
supper in New York:
II hear lot of praise bestowed on
the ola stock companies. Well, the
old stock companies were all right
In their rough-and-ready way. They'd
hardly go down with US nowadays.
"Once in the sos / dropped In at
a stock performance in a western

plays in its repertoire, and this play
I had dropped in on went very rag

INFERIOR SlRES ELIMINATED
First Count of Scrub Purebreds Over
Considerable Area-More Profit
From Herds.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
OF particular interest In a live stock
survey recently completed in South
Dakota are figures on the quality of
purebred sires, as well as on the num-
Der of scrubs and grades in that re-
gion. Fourteen counties typical of live
stock conditions in the state were In
Guided in the survey. OF the sires in
herds of cattle Go per cent were grades
or scrubs. and about % per cent of
the purehred sires We're clasSed as in
ferior. according to a part of the re-
ports. This is the first count of scrub
purebreds, over a considerable area,
received by the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
1t was found that VIXEN purebred
sires were used. the average herd Of
20 grade COWS returned $40 more
profit during 1918 than when grade or
scrub SireS We're used 1t has been eS-
timated that the elimination of inferi-
or purebred sires would iDcrease the
average profit Ia each herd from S54O
to $500 annually.

way as to promote that secretion
II II is done so as 10 give pain to the
COW or TO alarm or disquiet her. she

Milk Should BE Weighed
Well. that 10 about all there Is to
the milking process A great many
things are related to IT. The depart
ment of agriculture recommends that
the milk should be weighed daily.
There are several reasons for this
One II that the ration should be ad-
justed to the weight OF milk safe

one pound Of grain 70 every three ana

other. and perhaps more accurate.

rule is not 20 conveniently applied in
the case Of the family cow, because or
the necessity OF making q Babcock
test for butferfat.
The weight of milk produced. In
proportion TO the grain ration. Is of
particular Importance during the first
80 days after the COW freshens. She
is at that time most easily able 10
establish her working basis. She has
just had her vacation. Her milk
secreing glands are sensitive. her di-
gestive apparatus active. few days
after she becomes fresh increase her
grain one-half or three-quarters or
pound a day and see how much milk
she gives the following day. Keep up
the Increase from day to day as long
as she responds with enough increase
in milk to pay for the increased grain.
When the point is reached where the
milk flow fails to increase with In
creased feeding. reduce the grain RI
ton pound or two. and keep along
this line until the point is found at
which the COW produces the greatest
and most economical flow Of milk.
Then fix this as her regular grain ra-
ton as long as she produces that
amount of milk
