FROM WHERE WE STAND -
The Romance Of Cow Milking
Scarcely any farm youngster used
to reach maturity without haying milk
ed a goodly number of cows. Some
didn’t mind the chore, perhaps even
enjoyed it in comparison with other
barnyard duties that would have occu
pied them had not the cows come first.
Others, however, probably sprouted
the seed of wanderlust that took them
away from the farm while pumping
■streams of white fluid into the milk
pail.

In any case, cow milking is pretty
much a lost art today, and even bona
fide farm kids, with such experience
no doubt are in the minority. Perhaps
they are just as well off, too, though
few would realize it. Most of them
probably have an understandable curi
psity about cow milking; prompted by
Stories they hear about it from their
elders.
Sensing the need perhaps to fill this
void in modern experience, and have
a little fun, too, the American Dairy
Association has come up with a special
guide-sheet to cow milking, which
leads off with: "The cow does not give
the milk. You have to take it from
her.”
The guide-sheet continues. “Use
both hands. The method which makes
you an expert is to squeeze one hand,
then the other. Either start on the two
front spigots or work the diagonal
method. The cow has four spigots lo
cated toward the rear and low.
“Cut 'your fingernails; nothing un
nerves a cow so much as a set of long,
sharp nails. She shows her displeasure
by (1) stepping into, the milk pail; (2)
stepping on your left foot (3) clonking
you soundly in the neck with her tail;
(4) hoisting you, stool, pail and parts
of the barn into the air with her back
feet
“If she stares at you, stare right
back. Besides giving good nourishing
milk, the next best thing that a cow
dpes is stare—at her manger, the hired

man and particularly city folks out on

ates like a toothpaste tube. Give the
milk time to get out. First squeeze
the index finger, then the third finger,
finishing with the little finger. Reverse
the process and you are in trouble.
“Aim for the pail. Important and
tightly fought contests have been lost
because too much milk was directed
outside the pail. It is milk in the pail
that counts. Try shooting for distance
sometime. The world’s record is a
round 30 feet.”
Well, we aren’t sure about the prac
ticality of some of this advice for seri
ous cow milkers, but it does take us
back more years than we like to ad
mit. And perhaps it’s true that the
next best thing to milking cows is
reading about it, though the latter
seems to have the edge over the form
er at the moment.

A DECLARATION OF
INDEPENDENCE
A college student who sees the
steady regimentation of individual-ac
tivitiy in the United States writes:
“Man is a political animal accord
ing to the Greeks. Anyone who could
live alone must be a barbarian or an
animal. But the Greeks also believed
in moderation. Therefore it is possible
for man to be too much of a political
animal. There is too much ‘together
ness’ atmosphere in our society. As a
result, anyone who doesn’t enjoy be
ing surrounded every second by his
fellow man is considered unadjusted.
Togetherness is all around us. It is
oppressive and suffocating, insidious
and inescapable. It is the ally of con
formity and the endless ranks of the
little grey men with the expressionless
faces who march across our land. Long
live the man who dares to step out of
line! For upon his shoulders shall rest
the future 'of the world.”

TO USE PIG AND LAMB BROODi
the next few months will see the bn
thousands of baby pigs and lambs t
out the country; proper care the first
days is very important if they are to
good; one important practice is to '
vent chillingr Electric brooders in
corner of the pen is a very common r
od of providing needed warmth and
ness to get them off to a good start.
TO PRUNE TREES AND SHRUBS Most orchard
and landscape men will plan to prune their trees by
latter part of March; the dormant season is the besi
this work. If shade trees are to be pruned or cut 1
the months of February and March are best suited foi
work. Make cuts close to the mam limb or trunk
make a dean cut that will not hold water.
