Milk Regularly

Milk Regularly.

Regularity in time of milking is necessary. The dairy cow is a good timekeeper, and knows very well when milking time comes. If she is neglected and allowed to go far beyond the regular time she begins to worry and loss follows. There are some cows that certain milkers can never get clean. They milk out all that flows readily, strip around once or twice, and call her finished. With some cows this will do, but with others the milker must reach well up on the udder, and work it with a sort of kneading process. A little manipulation of this sort will cause the whole quantity to flow into the teats, whereas, without it, there will be from a gill to a pint of the richest milk left In the udder every time, which means a prematurely dry cow.
