RURAL TOPICS.
To make a first-class dairy cow, let the heiftr calve in autumn, milk through the winter, giving plenty of nutritious food ; then, when the early grass becomes plentiful, she comes back to full profit, and will milk on to the end of the season, a period of twelve or fourteen months. Ey following this plan during the first milkiog period, we educate the cow to her business, and establish or fix the the habit of milking as long as we like. If they are allowed to go dry too early in the first year of milking, they will do it in the second year, and so form the habit. We want a cow that will not only give a good record of herself in December, but will do so for five or six months afterwards, and if the plan suggested is followed it will develop the milking habit and render it practicable to secure in a season that large yield of butter-fat which alone should give satisfaction.
