MILKING THRICE DAILY

AN EXPERT OPINION. Referring to the question of milk ing three times a day, Mr M. A O'Callaghan, of the New South Wale Agricultural Department, says;"Experioncc has shown that cow that give very large quantities ol milk will yield more if milked threr times in the 21 hours, instead ol twice. If a cow is a large maker of milk, her udder becomes full long before milking time arrives, unless she has great capacity in her mammary glands, and hence the animal suffers a certain amount of pain if allowed to go too long without being milked. "Under such circumstances a cow will give larger yields if milked three times a day, and the butter-fat test will not suffer. In nearly all the American records, the cows that produces such high yields are milked three times a day.”
