2. Feed at regular hours. Cows, like people, thrive 

 best when their lives are orderly. 



3. Milk at regular hours. 



4. Brush the udder carefully with a moist cloth before 

 you begin to milk. Cleanliness in handling makes the 

 milk keep longer^ 



5. Always milk in buckets or cups that have been 

 scalded since the last using. The hot water kills the 

 bacteria that collect in the dents or cracks of the utensil.

6. Never let the milk pail remain in the stable. Milk 

 rapidly absorbs impurities. These spoil the flavor and 

 cause the milk to sour. 



7. Never scold nor strike the cow. She is a nervous 

 animal, and rough usage checks the milk flow.
