THE ART OF MILKING.
HELPFULNESS IS HAPPINESS.
A lady was once asked to define her
ideal of happiness, says the Boston Con
gregationalist, whereupon she set her
self to answer the question, and found it
a more diillcult matter than she had sup
posed. After studying the problem iu
all its bearings she concluded that, upon
the whole, she could stand by this defi
nition, "My idea of happiness is the
helping of somebody up." Is not this
a strong, safe, blessed working rule? It
covers all circumstances and applies to
the doing of the "nextethynge," wheth
er it be soothing of a wailing child, the
sweeping of the kitchen floor, the lead
ing of a great cause, or the lightening of
a spiri ual doubt of burden. Each alike
may come within the range of our daily
duties and give ample opportunity for
hclpiiig somebody "up."

Skim milk is of ereat importance not
so much in a scientific way as a resource
for the creamery. It is a by-product
just as bran and shorts are for the miller
in making his flour, or coke and coal tar
for the manufacturer'of gas, and cotton
seed for the grower of cotton, with that
difference that these last named by-products
can be stored away and sold to the
best advantage without danger of deter
ioration, where our skim milk is of a
very perishable nature; it cannot be
stored away but must be sold, used up
or given away, as tne ease may De, in or
der to realize anything out of it.
Were all the creameries situatea near
a milk sugar refinery, as I know of some
creameries in the state of New York,
where the skim milk as well as the whey
is conducted through pipes to the sugar
factorv, or were the creameries all loca
ted near large cities, tne sKim muK prpD-
lem would be solved, rnis not Deing
the ease, it devolves on us to devise some
plan to utilize this by-product to the
best advantage.
First of all we should educate our pa
trons as to the real value of the skim
milk as ,a feed, and to teach thenr to
properly use it as a feed. The reason
that skim milk is not as liberally used in
some localities as in others, is becaus!
some one by an excessive and improper
use has killed some pies and calves and
they do not want it. By my own exper
ience I find that as a feed for hogs it is
of great value. I have also found that
were it not for the objectionable features
of a hog lot adjoining a creameryor nav-
inz vour butter maker or neiper to a&
tend the hogs, it would pay better to
feed ud the skim milk yourself than to
sell it. -
In reerard to feeding b.023 there is no
dansrer of overfeeding with milk, provid-
ing they have bone and muscle to hold
?p the fat you put on them. Hence pigs
gay from 25 to 100 lbs. weight must have
enough other feed to furnish substance
for bone. Should those pigs be fed
too much milk they would Invariably
break down, and this trouble would be
calied in many cases wrongfully"kidney
worm." '
It Is often said that no good calves
could be raised on skim milk, but this
has proven false as there are plenty just
as good calves brought up on skim milk
as those are that follow the cow. The
skim milk fed to calves, is iust the same
as it comes from the cow, . less the fat
which must be substituted and fed regn
larlv. .
Having: shown our patrons the value
of the skim milk they will iu all proba
bility, use it liberally. Should you how
ever, not have been successful ,iu con
vineing them of these facts, and should
you have no stock of your own to leed
vou will soon get some experience. We
all kno that, the average Kansas far
mer, whether he is a patron of a cream
ery or not, has an eye for - business. He
will watch your skim milk tank or cis
tern and when it is full you do not. want
it to run over and ' leave a bad smell
around the creamery." You will either
have to give him the skim milk for five
or ten cents a barrel, or be glad if he
does not see lit to pay for it to have Mm
haul it away for nothing. I hope this
particular farmer is. no patron of any
creamery, because if he is and is-not wil
ling to pay you for the skim milk some
where near what it is worth he stands in
his own light, and you better test his
milk"every time he brings any, or not
buy it at all.
I have been steadily trying to utilize
skim milk. . Among other things the
idea struck me to make Koumys, a very
wholesome drink for invalids. In8tead
of fermenting the stertilized sweetened
skim milk with yeast, I chargtd It with
carbonic acid gas and bottled it with a
machine in 8 ounce bottles. The pre
paration was flavored and "it made an ex
cellent Jfansas beverage. I thought 1
had a bonaza, having been able to hold
this milk so charged and bottled sweet;
for ten days, when to my sorrow on the
eleventh day I noticed the liquid chang-,
ing to a jelly and my expectations of a
There are those who think it is no trick
to milk, and who do not think there is
any particular difference in milkers. It
has been a great surprise to me to find
so many poor milkers and that, too,
among those who have always lived up
on the farm and milked more or less all
their lives.
Some vears ago, a young mao, a
neighbor, whose father kept some 10 or
12 cows, came to work for us. 1 saw at
once I could easily milk three cows to
his two, although he seemed to work
much harder at it than I did. I sat down
beside him and saw at once where he
failed. Instead of getting a good grip
he was lapping his fingers around the
teat with, his thumb extended up beside
the teat. I took one of his fingers in
my hand and gave it the same grip he
did the teat, and asked him if that felt
as if it would bring out the milk if his
finger were the cow's teat. '-Well no,
not much" he replied. I then took hold
as I did in milking, and at short notice
he saw the wide diilerenee bet veen shut
ting the fingers closely and lapping them
around the teat. He was one of the
young men who was ready aud willing
to learn, and soon became a good milker.
I sometimes see statements from vet
erinarians that lumps in cows teats are
caused by mere pressing the fingers into
the teats. This may sometimes occur,
but I believe is entirely uncalled for.
The finger nails must De kept pared
close, and then one should grasp the teat
in the same manner he would a rope he
expected was to save his live. Not in a
rough manner but gently and hrraly. I
have seen milkers give a jerk on the teat
every time a stream was drawn. This is
all wrong, as it tends to irritate and an
noy the cow.
Again, some will sit down, ana wnetn-
er the milK begins to now or not, begin
to open and shut the hands on the teats
to the tune of "Money Musk," or "Fish
er's Hornpipe." This, too, is wrong be
cause of the same result; it annoys the
cow. A really first class milker will sit
down and by gently stroking tne cow,
and by a kind word assure her of his
friendly presence. After carefully
brushing off the udder and side of the
cow, he will gently take hold of the teats,
and by so doing will not excite tne cow
and after a few streams are drawn the
cow finding she is not to be injured be
gins to "give down" as we say when
the milk is rapidly but carefully remov
ed. The hand should be frequently
opened wide to relax the muscles of the
sanif, and as soon as the milk flow begins
to decrease, the hand should grap the
udder gently above the teat, so as to
bring the milk down into the U:at quick
ly, at the same time, quickly and con
stantly changing off, first two then the
other two teats. I hnve seen some milk
ers who would milk two teats entirely
dry before drawing any from the other
two. This, too, is wrong. All should
be milked as nearly together as possible,
and here comes in the most difficult part
of the whole operation, to get done as it
should be.
In conversation with an intelligent
dairyman a few dtys since who keeps a
large dairy, he told me he was surpri-ed
to find so many even among cow owners
who fail to milk their cows clean. There
are in these two extremes, one milker
will set and strip and strip when there is
nothing to get, while another will milk
as long as he can get a full stream and
then get up and leave the cow. Both
are wrong. As soon as the two teats
giving least comn to stripping, I milk
the other two as long as they givu good
streann changing off" frequently, and
then to finish go round from teat to teat,
clasping as much of the udder as I can
with one hand and with the other grasp
the teat, hold and quickly squeeze the
milk out. Going thm very quickly
from teat to teat, every last bit of milk
is removed, and the cow is milked cloan
To sum up th whole matter, the
quicker, and at the same timo the more
gently the milk is removed, the mora and
the better milk our cows will give. f.I.

WEANING THE COLTS.
' Many young colts are to be weaned in
a short time. At least one month before
it is intended to do this, the colt should
be fed regularly a good ration of oats and
other grain. Beginning at the same time
with feeding, it should be limited in the
mother's milk gradually, so that during
the last week it shall have the milk but
once a day. The colt should, ?also, dur
ing these four weeks be haltered an hour
or two, morning, noon and evening by
the mother's side. In this way the wean
ing process may be more easily, carried
out. After weaning, for at least a month,
the colt should be haltered regularly at
feeding time for an hour only, then re
leased in a box-stall to eat hay. In Sep
tember it is usually better to confine them
in a stall than to allow colts to run in the
pasture and heat their blood unduly by
running. Regular feeding and watering
will soon satisfy the colt that he has
OILING AND PUTTING ON WASHERS.
It sounds like a very common order to
ay, "John, pus a set of washers on the
carriage und oil it," but such orders are
given to coachmen and livery stable em
ployes, aud by it hundreds of axles are
spoiled every year. In the first place,
they have 110 scientific principles to gov
ern them in doing the work, and think it
no more thau putting a pit ce of leather
on the shoulder of the axle and a piece
111 the nut, and it it is too thick they will
trim it down until the wheel works free,
after putting about a gill of wheel grease
on the axle and then pu-hing 15 all .fl
again when they put the wheel on. Then
Xhey expect the wheel to run a week
without oiling again. They put plenty
on the back ot the hub anil axle, cover
ing the axle nur and inside of the front
band, which ui ike- it look as if that was
the way they greased the carriage, which
many a coachman knows he is blamed
for when told to go to the store and get
a box of washers or where they are giv
en to him. When he gets them, of course
they have to be used ; if they are too
large, he will cut a piece out to make
them fit.
The washers ought to be cut the right
size in the first place, and t make them
right they must be fitted on the axle.
the man who has charge of examining
the wheels and axles in a carriage shop
knows by experience the trouble he has
with axles and cutting washers. The
coachman will come to the shop and say,
"1 want a set or washers for my earn
age," aud he may know the size of the
axle but not the style; he cuts the wash
ers and gives them to him; then back he
comes with them, saving he cannot get
them on, and bringing two of the old
washers to cut the new ones bv, which
will be worn toe large inside, and he will
then have to guess again at the size
which he will generally find inside of
week to be wrong. Then the carriage
will come to the shop unable to hold the
"grease, for the coachman was bound to

put the lat t washers on, and of course
there is another set to put oa right. The
man who has the washers to cut should
always have the carriage to cut the
washer? by. If he does not. it is only
gue.-SA-ork for him, there being i-o man)
tlitlrrctit sty Its of axles ot the same pat
tern. When worn take a diuVicnt r-ljle
washer than when -new.
The man having charge of the exami
nation of axles should be very particular
aud see that everything is right, as, if he
does not, they will get heated, saick and
spoil the axle, for which we will get the
blame, although be may uot always be
in fault, as manufacturers of axles are
now fitting boxes to axles ve y cloe, the
same as though for stationary machin
ery, which is rather too hue for the
bouncing a carriage receives, - and they
should be moie particular about the tit
ting of boxes, seeing that they go up sol
id at the shoulder without a back washer
on ; as in case of heating, nine coachmen
out of ten will take the hack washer oil',
which is wiong, as the axle? tapering, the
further the box goes back the tighter it
gets.
Axles are usually one-lourth inch long
er than the box to allow for the front and
back washers, which are necessary to
prevent rattling and tearing avay of the
collar and nut: but I have noticed in
many of the finest makes of axles, after
taking off the hack w asher, that the box
would not t o back auy further, and
would allow but one-sixteenth inch for
a tront washer, which is not enough, and
would last but a day or so if it wears on
the front, and if it wears out on the back
the box will stick. Having in rny exper
ience had several cases of this kind, if
thev do not allow for a three-sixteenth
inch washer in the nut I grind them down
until thev hi. and then put up a one-
eighth inch washer on the back and fill
up the front so that the wheel will run
free without rattling, since adopting
which plan I have not had a box to stick.
In fitting axles, 1 clean the box of all
paint, varnish and gummy oil with tur
pentine, seeing that the box will go with
in one-sixteenth inch of the shoulder, then
put a one-eighth inch washer in the back
so that it fits tight on the axle, after sat
urating it well with oil, fitting in the
shoulder of the box so as to work free,
and when the wheel is takea off the back
washer remains on the arm ; when so
loose as to come off it is apt to get dirt or
sand on it, and 111 putting it on it will
brush thp grease bick to the collar and

The nut washer I fit tight to the nut. if
a llange nut working f'ee on the arm, so
that H will not drop in the dirt. For nil
ing I u-e a mixture of pure sperm oil
with enough plumbago in it to make it
little thick, not putting on more than half
a teaspoonful at a rime, as more than that
will work out. For washers 1 prefer
leather to any of the many different ma
terials they are made of ; it may not last
as long but answers the purpose bet, as
it absorbs the oil and becouips t-oft, so
that when worn a little thin the wheels
will not have the rattling noise so offeD
noticeable. Owners of carriages should
never let wheels get more than ne-eighth
inch play on the arm without getting new
washers on, or the wheels will commence
to wobble and wear the axle oval, or the
box too large for the axle, for sometimes
the axle will be found to be the hardest
Inattention to the washers ruin many
axles. G. if . in Carriage Monthly.
