THE SECRET OF INCREASING THE FLOW OF 

 MILK IN A DAIRY COW 



If you wish to make a milk record with your dairy cow, it is 

 advisable to begin to train her for this purpose when she is a year 

 old. The well groomed and well fed yearling heifer starts to de- 

 velop her udder even before this age. When slight natural conges- 

 tion in this organ is first noticed, it may be wonderfully developed 

 into a stronger and more powerful milk producer by hand rubbing 

 and manipulation applied by the owner or groom three or four times 

 daily from five to fifteen minutes at a time. The most successful 

 salesman will handle his heifers every time he enters the stable. He 

 not only develops these glands, he also gains the heifer's confidence 

 and makes her calm, docile, and strong of nerve. By the time this 

 heifer becomes fresh she has the natural form, development and 

 disposition to make any exceptional milk producers. Of course, the 

 breeding and general conformation should cut a big figure in pick- 

 ing your subject for a winner. 



After the calf has been weaned and you wish to put her to the 

 test, you should see that her digestive organs keep in perfect health 

 and condition in order to support the constitution and the demands 

 of the udder upon the system for a big flow of milk. This having 

 been done, your heifer is in good shape to stand a liberal amount of 

 crowding for her milk record. Of course, to increase the flow of 

 milk you must use good judgment in increasing your food ration. 

 This should be wholesome, well-balanced and not too heavy. Give 

 water more frequently during this period. To make the udder more 

 active and more productive, add one tablespoonful of Galactagogue 

 Powders to each meal. These powders, applied as above directed, 

 increase the appetite, aid digestion, relieve the dangers of overfeed- 

 ing and stimulate the activity of the udder to such an extent as to 

 wonderfully increase the flow of milk of any healthy cow, no matter 

 what age she may be.
