dcasant nnd profllnblo to milk should
if turned out with their calves and ict
run. Tills will pay better than to worry
with such animals all summer.
The worry In milking kicking cows
cows from which tho m Ik Is hard to bo
drawn nnd cows with faiilty tents or
udders Is not as a general thing worth
tho trouble and It Is belter to turn such
animals Into beef.
Tho dairyman who always sees that
his cows nro comfortable nnd thus con-
siders their wholo management nnd
feeding will be sure that lhovdo their
best for him nnd that ho Is leaving
nothing tiudono to securo tho greatest
milk yield.
Tho bost means of making a proflt
from tho dairy Is to keep good cows
ind keep thoin well. Then let all tho
methods tif handling tho milk bo tho
best known nnd always turn out a
primo dairy product to bo put on tho
market
Kvcry farmer should havo somo
kind of a milk house and it thev can
not nflbrd to bifid ono with all tho
modern conveniences ovorv ono can nt
least put up n rough board shed over
omo convenient spring or near tho
well nnd let tho waste water run Into
it Tliis kind of a building fitted with
a good trough for tho milk cans etc.
often nnswrs very well and at least Is
much better than no milk houso at all.
Look oat for rag weeds now not
only In tho regular pasture but In any
ot tbo lanoi through which tho cows
havo to pass. When tho pasturo Is sun-
burnt nnd dry many cows get into tho
bad habit of biting off tho tender tops
of tho young rag weeds nnd this gives
a bitter and very disagreeable flavor to
tho milk which finds its way Into thu
butter or cheese made from it Take a
scytho nnd cut tho tops ot this weed off
for cows will not touch them unless
fresh nnd green.
Tho 0. S. Dairyman thinks that
on tho principle that from nothing
nothing can come sk m milk Is n poor
feed for cows in milk that is such feed
will not mako cream. If it will mako
blood it will mnko cream. Tho cow Is
not a hopper nor a machine; sho has a
laboratory in her body that makes re-
fined gold from common dros. Tho
legitimate deduct'on from the nbovo
argument Is that should J on expect
crenm from a cow you must first feed
her cream; but sho knows a trick worth
two of that and if you don't believe It
just feed ono of your cows nil tho
skimmed milk sho wants and see If sho
docs not teach J on a lesson worth
learning.
Somo of our contemporaries aro
advising their readers not to feed tho
cows extra now especially meal while
at lwstiirp because they think at present
prices It will not pay. Does not every-
body know that prices ot dairy goods
aro not stationary; that while they may
bo niado at a loss to-day tho chances
nro that n reaction in prices will soon
como; and further every dairyman
should know thnt if tho cow Is nllowcd
to slacken off in her milk yield it Is n
losing business to get hcr'ba -k to her
yield when prlros do go up again. If a
loss Is to bo niado let It bu now nnd In
keeping tho cow up to her max'mum
yield and then when prices go up
again In mo Iall ou will get nacK
what you lost nnd stand roaily to tnVo
advantage of tho market .nierican

Skim-Milk Cows.
When a butter-maker has a cow that
ghes a largo mess ot milk so poor in
fat that it does not pay htm to keep her
he Is generally advised to "sell Iter to
a checso-makcr" because) milk poor In
butter is supposed to bo rich In curd.
If a chcvsc-runkcr really wants to mako
cheese out ot that kind of milk ho had
better buy tho butter-maker's sklm-millc
than his sklin-nillk cow's. Sweet skim-
milk will furnish such a chceso-ruakrr
just what In wants milk poor in fat
and abounding in curd--nnd ho can
nlwavs buv skim-milk cheaper than ho
can "rolso" it. It will mako no Uif-t
ferenco with his cheese whether tho
milk was skimmed nrtilicially or
was horn skimmed both having tho.

rich In curd and poor In fat. A skim-
