V M dcr ordinary conditions, so that the butter should be got to the consumer just as soon as prac tical after being made. Do not expect the hea\ y milk er to have the smoothness of the lazy old family driving horse or the typ cal beef animal. The heavy milking habit goes with prominent bones and a nerous temperament. Never strike a milk cow. It makes her nervous for the tune being and afraid of her keeper afterwards, and such a cow will not give down her milk well or feel comfortable enough to form much milk. A wild heifer should be made gentle before she has her first calf. A little sugar or salt or both ot them now and then will help to make her tame if she is made to cat them ftom the hand of her keeper and she is also regularly treated with gentle ness. Tbc dairyman whose cows arc pets bat something in his favor. A dairy cow is of a naturally nervous temperament, and 1! she feels she is a pet her nerves will not work against the inter ests of her owner so often as if she were afraid ot him.

Try the use of granulated sugar in the proportion of one tablcspoonful of sugar to 10 pounds of butter.

It is very easily overdone, but some think this small amount of sugar de cidedly improves the flavor of < t I I A ^ U k V I • Kopy milk may be caused by cows wadmg in dirty water and getting their udders covered with undesirable germs while -ecming fairly clean to the eye Other things may make Tdpy milk, but the cause mentioned is so cas;ly guarded against that it should not be overlooked. So little dirt can do so much injury that the aim should be perfect cleanliness ail the time. A very good but little used method of dehorning cattle is to work on the calves when tbeir horns arc about half an inch long. At this time the horns ha'.e not grown solid to the skull, and a sharp knife cutting deep enough to get a small ring of skin with the horn will remove the latter and leave no bad sore. The healing will be rapid and flies may be kept away by the use of tar. Mint! I sers I'jurying requires considera bly more thought than ordinary farm work. For this reason in telligcnt men who take up dairy work can feel that they arc nearer to the class of profes sional men than the common farmer, than the class which at tempts to do little else than raise »otton. A man cannot makes success of dairying unless he is a liberal mind user. Today’s work must have a w ry definite relation to tomorrow’s work, this month's to next month’s, this year's 10 next year 's. This requires thinking, and clear thinking too. It also calls for more than a little education. It need not he the kind of education got in schools.
