Milking. There are so many and important de- tails in connection with dairy management which must not be neglected oroverlooked that it would be a hopeless task to endea- vor to p'ck out just what process is most important. We believe there is a general tendency among dairymen toward ceglect and oareleeineas in the matter of milking. Lark of systematic methods in milking may cause an otherwise profitable dairy to become unprofitable. A neglect in not insisting upon cleanli- ness is sure to be followed by badly-flavored butter, which mint sell in the general market at a low figure, or if sold direct to private customers will cauw dissatis- faction, and if more cleanly habit* ar* not speedily resorted to we should expect they ould lose their best customers. One of the first requisite*, therefore, of a good milker i* to keep the milk absolute- ly clean. We will presuppose the milk pail, which, by the way, should never be of wood, i* perfectly clean. The milker*' and plow under the second growth, followed by an application of lime. If this ia done the only formi of fertilizers required by the farmer will be potath and phosphates, which will keep tl.e soil well supplied with plant food in fair proportion* for nearly all other crops. Red clover i* a biennial, but the new crimion clover, which is an annual, may be sown in the fall and plowed under in the spring, being well adapted on soils that will not produce red clover; but where red clover can be growi. it should be given the preference, a* it can not be surpassed in the many advantages which it possesses by any other crop grown upon the i arm. Grinding: Feed for Stock. So nr.neh wheat and other small grain U now being fed to (lock that the matter of grinding the grain ration ha* become an important matter. Farm animals were naturally herbivorous, and their teeth, and digestive apparatus is better adapted to coarse forage than to concentrated grain tionsra. The experience of mankind ha* found it belt to grind all grain for human food, and in practice it i* found that stock get* more good from ground than from whole grain. If properly managed the ex- tra profit will more than repay the co*t of hand* mu*t b* thoroughly washed and Landing. If advantage ia io'be taken of dried. Never milk, or allow any one elee the gain in feeding value from mixed ra- to, with wet hands. If proper precaution has been exercised, the cow's udder and aides can be freed of dirt by carefully brushing. Unless in exceptional ci never wash a cow's udder. Alter the milk is drawn from the cow it should be removed from the stable a* soon a* possible, where it i* to be set or separated, a* it i* apt to abeorb foul od- ors. There i* a very general feeling that it i* advisable not to teed the cow* until after the milking i* completed: especially is thi* urged where ensilage form* a part of the ration. The ensilage impart* a m oet disagreeable flavor to the butter if the milk i* subjected to it* odor for any length of time. We have noticed when cow* ar* fed at the' inie of milking lhat they quite often are very uneasy to got the last particle of food, especially if it i* in the far corner of the manger.and in so doing necessarily stir up the dust. If cow* have been accustomed to being fed before being milked they will be some- what troublesome until they get accustomed to the new order of thing*. Some men have made the mistake of cleaning the (table before milking. Thi* i* a bad prac- tice. A better way i* to leave the stable till after all milking is done and the milk taken from the stable. The next requisite of a good milker i* to Mcure thn largest quantity of milk powible. To do thi* several point* must be observed. It is not necessary, in fact it I* not prac- tical, tc milk oftener then twice a day, but the periode between milking should be a* nearly equal a* convenient. Car* should b* taken that the milk'ng ii done at the same hour* each day. The milker must be quiet and gentle with the cow* and see to it that there is nothing to disturb or annoy them, not only at milking time, but all the time. Rapid milkers a* a rule are to be perferred. Repeated experiment* have proven that much more milk can be drawn from cow* for a given length of time by rapid than liy slow milking. When the cow's udder is very full one should begin milking rather slowly so as not to injure th* udder. Where a man employs a number of irilk- er> it is profitable to have the milk drawn from each cow carefully weighed and re- corded at each milking. This not only en- ables one to know who isdting good, faith- ful work, but it form* a ba*i* on which one may tudge of the general health and condi- tion of the cow* and their probable care. While thi* may b* somewhat of a guide, we must understand that for butter-making the Baboock teet must also i>* u**d in de- termii.ing the right of any cow to a plaoe in our herd*. HIS MI4AKE. sin- -inn i i.u.ir . Baeaaaser Wills Ik* i in: i i<ii laagaacr. A Rusiian gentleman told me a funny tor) of his firat encounter with the Bngliih language. On the day after hi* arrival in London he made a oall on a friend in Park lane, and on leaving the premises wrote down in his note book what he supposed to be the exact address. The next day, deair- ing to go to the *ame place again, he called a cabman and pointed to the address that he had written down. The cabman looked him over, lauvhed. cracked hi* whip, and drove away without him. Thi* experience being repealed with two or throe other cabmen, the Ruuian tinned indignantly to the polioe, with no better result". One officer would laugh, another would eye him uipiuiously, another would tap hi* head and make a motion imitating the re volution of a whiiel. Finally the poor foreigner gave it up.aud, with a great deal of difficulty recalling the landmarks which he had obaerved the day before, found hi* way to hi* friend's houae. Once there and in company with one who oould understand him, he delivered him* eelf oi a hot condemnation of the oabmen and police of London for their impertinence and iliscourteiy. Hii friend asked for loon at the mirth-provoking address, and the mystery wa* solved. This wa* th* entry ; tions, it i* almost necessary to grind the grains before mixing, eepecially wnen bran, middling*, cottonseed meal and flaxseed cake are u*ed . The farmer who withe* to feed ground grain will generally find it the best plan to bay a mill and do his own grinding at home, thai laving the expense of hauling, and providing profitable work for himself aiid team*. For fattening hogs and cattle it will be found best to mix corn meal with the ground wheat, and for growing pig*. calve*, and colt*, corn meal ie far better than whole corn, *o it will bt, expedient u> buy a hone power mill, which will not only grind small grains, but will also chop corn, and crush corn and cob together without the trouble of belling. Each kind of grain *nould be ground separately and afterward* mixed in the proper proportion*, a* each kind of grain i* so different that it will not otherwise be properly crushed or rollsd. Finely cut hay or shredded oornfodder may be added to the ground feed ration if desired. In order to avoid waste, good clean troughs must be used in feeding ground feed, whether fed wet or dry. In windy weather it will be best to dampen the meal or chop even to soak m ir it, while for growing animal* it may in many cases beoooked to advantage. Th* bipber the price of grain and live stock, the more profit there will be in grinding, soaking or cooking grain food. DEADLY WORK. Imploi c. la i kammcsK- <-llr * Uve Lo.

The Seeding* of Clover. It 1* when the snow U on th* ground that some farmers seed clover on wheat laud, but it i* doubtful if seeding too early is of any advantage It i* true that broad- casting the seed over the surface cover* every portion, and the rains eirrj it into n* soil, but there are periods in the early when the ground is as hard a* a , and if th* seed ie not washed away it will be clustered in spots, leaving other* tare, a* it i* witnessed every season. It is ot '.he oaee lhat all farmers venture to seed down their clover until the season is warmer, but the rule is to sow as soon as it an be iloae. The proper method is to har ow the wheat with a amoothing harrow, ow the clover send and harrow the field gain, which does not injure the wheat but nablea the seed to be better covered and ecure lodgment. Plenty of seed is import- .in, a* the birds destroy a portion ; aome >f me seen may bs wortnleia.and a portion * also destroyed should a warm spell of weather be followed by severe cold.
