REGULARITY IN MILKING.

It seems very hard on some farms to do things " on time." One morning very early rising is the rule, and on another, generally Sunday, the reverse is the order. The dairyman who follows that rule never makes much money. Regularity in every department of the farm counts for a great deal, but it is a question if it counts for as much anywhere as it does in the dairy, in regard to the time of milking. If you have a young cow that gives promise of be coming a large milk producer, milk her at seven o'clock five morning of the week and at nine on the other two. If you do you will very shortly make a cow boarder out of a milk producer. In the large dairy, it is, of course, more important to milk in time, and where there is a lot of one thing to be done, it is generally easier to adopt a regular system of doing it. It is, nevertheless, attention to the little things that counts in every department of business, and on the average farm where only a few cows are kept, they ought to be milked as nearly as possible "on time." if they are going to pay a profit at the end of the " Farmers' Advocate."
