A "Knack” 
for Milking 
Frost in Stable 
Can you suggest a remedv for frost in 
OUr horse stable'/ Sometimes the water 
almost comes in a stream from the ceiling 
and sides. Our house and barn are con¬ 
nected by a long shed. Two years ago a 
box stall was added to the barn, under 
the shed. Cast Summer we built a new 
stable with cement floor. The walls are 
double boarded, with paper between, clap- 
boarded on the outside, and sealed on the 
inside. There are four stalls, and 1 keep 
a team and a colt in them. Would it help 
to put the I’ercheron stallion in the fourth 
stall, and close his box stall? i$. b.

Your trouble is evidently due to a lack 
of ventilation. The horse, as well as 
other animals, throws off immense quan¬ 
tities of water when breathing, in the 
form of a vapor. The truth of this can he 
readily seen by watching a horse’s breath 
on a cold morning, when the vapor can 
he seen as it is condensed by coming in 
contact with the cold outside air when the 
breath is expelled. This vapor is just as 
much present, when the horse is in the 
stable, although the stable may be warm 
enough to prevent the rapid condensation 
noted outside, and with your tight wall 
construction is nil imprisoned and 
breathed over and over again by the ani¬ 
mals iu the stable. This naturally satu¬ 
rates the air with moisture, and the stable 
nre particular! j noticeable in hogs run* 
ning in a dusty lot during extremely 
warm weather, when small collections of 
mud, due to dust collecting in the mois¬ 
ture about the openings of these glands, 
may lie noted. Other active sweat glands 
are located in the nose of the pig- The 
lack of active sweat glands throughout 
the skin of the pig is one of the reasons 
for this animal being so easily overcome 
by beat. k. .t. skulke. 
You know that some hand milkers can v" 3N Y 
get more milk out of the same cows than J 
others. They have this “knack” because * 
they milk uniformly, energetically, and yet with an action 
that is pleasing to the cow. 
You know, too, that it pays to keep the same man on 
the same cows. A change in milkers usually means a decrease 
in production, for a day or two at least. 
Further than this, you know the cow which is properly 
milked from day to day will hold up for a longer lactation 
period. 
These facts show that the organs of the cow which secrete 
milk work best under certain conditions, are very sensitive to 
change, and that they respond best to uniformity and gentle¬ 
ness. These facts were taken into consideration in develop¬ 
ing the De Laval Milker. 
The De Laval Milker is the only method of milking that insures abso¬ 
lutely uniform, good milking— that milks the 
Drying Off Cow 
L had trouble getting m.v cows with calf 
this year, so that instead of freshening in 
January and February, as usual, they 
will be fresh in May and June. Now they 
are not giving much milk and 1 intend 
drying them off the first of the year, but 
my neighbors say I will spoil them : that 
they will go dry five months or more 
every year hereafter, \v. n. 
It certainly is a mistake to “dry off” 
a milk cow much more than six months 
before the date of calving. When milked 
right up to the calving time she may 
shrink seriously in her milk yield after 
calving, and when dried off too soon site 
may also give less milk at freshening than 
would otherwise be the case, besides being 
likely to stop producing a profitable flow 
of milk long before the calf is due. If
