The following questions Mr. X. A.

Willard, a well-known dairy authority, recommends to be written out and posted about the dairy: "Do your cows feed in swamps and on boggy lands? Have you good, sweet running water convenient for stock, and is it abundant and permanent in hot, dry weather? Have you shade-trees in your pasture, or do you think that cows make better milk while lying down to rest in discomfort in the hot sun? Do you use dogs and stones to hurry the cows from pasture at milking time, thus overheating their blood and bruising their udders? Do you cleanse the udders of cows before milking by washing their teats with their own milk, and practice further economy by allowing their drippings to go into the milk-pail? Do you enjoin your milkers to wash their hands thoroughly before sitting down to milk? When a cow makes a misstep while being milked, do you allow your milkers to kick her with heavy boots, or to pound her over the back and sides with a heavy stool? Is the air about your ' milk-barn' or milk-house reeking with the foul emanations of the pig-sty, the manure-heap, or other pestiferous odors?"
