the methods of feeding and hand-

ing are not practical. •
Overfeeding'is wasteful; under-
feeding is unprofitable. The eon's

but if given more than they need
for m a inte n a nee and production,
they waste it, as a rule
The quality of milk -that is, the
amount of milk and fat that it con-
tains -is controlled more by the
constitutional characterietic of the
cow than by the feed.
Never stir up dust or foul odors
at milking tithe. If you do, a lot
of it is sureto get into the milk.
Whether to •feed the cows just be-
fore milking is a much debated
question. It is not at all danger-
ous to feed them a:little grain, pro-
vided you stir up no duet or dis-
agreeable odors.
Asa rule, the cows will give dowa
their milk more freelY when they
have contented minds, and a little
of the right kind of feed goes a long
way toward bringing about this
couteated state of mind. Never
eleali the stables just before milk-
ing, for it will stir up a tenfold „
worse odor taan any feed the cows
will eat.

The moo et, important bu eine ss
dairy farmers is - to increase' the

Ail of the manure, both livid
and solid, should be saved wad ap-
plied to the land. I believe it is
the best 50, haul it from the stable
to the field and apply it as fast as
made.
When all the liquids. have been
saved by the use of absorbents,
large amounts of manure May he
made, and, if it is hauled to the
fields direct from the stable,. theee
liquids will drain into the soil to
tele depth of the furrow slice, and
there will be little loss from ex-
posure.

cise, Most of the work comes at a
time when other farm operations
are slack, ,and the soil, besides be-
ing enriched, plows easier and
works up bebter during the whole
of the next season, en account of
being made porous by being cover-
ed with manure during the winter.
When hatdine the manure fruit

haul to the farther fields while the .
ground is frozen and close to the
barn while soft and muddy.
There is no reasonable excuse
for a dairy farmer to, allow more
than one-thirdof hie manurial fer-
tility to wash away in a dirty, fibthy
barnyard, and spend one or two
weeks during the busy .season ia
the spring .to haul it across the
muddy fields to gee, it an .his land.
