Speaking of the mystery of how a
COW produces milk, I've just received
a booklet that explains the whole
thing. Mighty interesting it is, too.
This booklet takes you all through
the growth, development, structure
and functioning of the udder and
teats. 1t tells how and when the milk
is secreted, how it is let down, etc.
A series of photographs helps to
explain all the mysterious workings.
The booklet also has some good
rules for milking. Like giving special
care to newly-freshened heifers so
that milking will have no unpleasant
associations for them. And avoiding
strange noises or doing anything
unusual at milking time that might
prevent a complete response to milk
ing. To get this booklet, write for

Whether the soil on your farm has

add a mineral box to that salt box

One good thing about cattle is that
you can rely on them to take only as
much of either as they need. Except
the real young calves, of course. And
by the way, if any of your calves
have been born with big neck" or
if goiter is prevalent in your locality,
I'd suggest that you put iodized salt
in the salt box instead of regular salt.
Steamed bone meal or spent bone
black or some other satisfactory phos-

in the mineral box. Circular 297, put
