came in Thursday morning to

A. Jordan.
Many good cows are butchered be-
cause they milk so easily that the
pressure iu the udder daring a big
milk flow causes the teats to leak.
Leaking teats can usually be iden-
tified by the concave depression at
the milk opening. Hard milkers have
a convex surface around the orifice.
To stop a cow’s teat from leaking, the
best nu thod J have found is to file a
40-penny spike, round off the point,
heat the end hot enough to sear, and
press it gently into the milk orifice,
Says a writer.
Hold in place till the cow informs
you that you have done enough. It
is better to repeat the opt ration than
to do too much at the first trial. The
burn will nearly always cure readily
as the result of the soothing influence
of the milk, but if it is slow in healing,
grease with salve. When the scar
forms around the milk orifice, it con-
tracts the opening and prevents the
milk from leaking.

Cleanliness is a very vital factor in
the successful production of milk. The
illustration shows a simile sunning
rack for milk cans and utensils. Any
farmer can quickly construct this rack.
All you need is a few 2-by-4s and 1-by-

THIS NEWSPAPER?
No dairy was ever too

The cows should have a cb-. nee to go

A thorough chilling now* will dis-

Article
The breeding bull always represents
half the value of the breed-ag power
of i he herd if it is desire* to grow
calves for the dairy. I
Calves intended for the dai-ry should '
not be made fat as veals, and they I
should r.ot be allowed to becoiae stunt-
ed. They should be thrifty ^nd grow- ;
ing all the time.
It is hard to make some men realize
the great influence of a go >d, pure-
bred sire in a herd. The sire Is more
than half the herd. If he .is richly
bred, every heifer inherits from him
good butter traits.
A good price for a superior bull is
money well invested. The difference
between the price of a strictly high-
class sire and an Inferior on< is made
up in the first lot of calves.

rope she will stand—an<' cannot kick.
This method once kn a while causes
the cow to give bloody milk. If thia
happens pla^e the rope- or strap be-
hind the udder and drav; it up in the
same manner. With some cows this
cannot be done because of the shape
of the udder. Another method is to
hobble the cow by passing the rope
around each leg behind t le udder, and
tying just above the ho- ks. This Is,
however, rather dangerous for the I
man tying the rope. After the pre- j
ventive measure has been repeated a
few times the cow will -tand readily 1

THOROUGH COOLING OF MILK
Prompt and thorough cooling Is one
of the important steps in the care of
miik.
Milk should never be left in the
milking pail for several minutes in a
warm place. It should be strained at

Care—Strain Immediately and
Place in Cold Room.
an end view and the length will depend
on the number of cans and utensils to
be sunned. The rack should be ad-
justable to the direct rays of the sun.
This is accomplished by the- use of an
iron bolt in securing the horizontal
pieces nt their intersection, with the
upright 2-by-4s forming the po kstal.
For clean milk cans, wash first in cold
water, then steam (or scald, if steam is
not available), then use the sun rack.
