CLEANLINESS IN THE COWSHED.

. A correspondent tells us that he visited a cow-house in one of our large dairying districts, about 10 o'clock one morning. The cow shed had a good cement floor, and the stalls were of solid cement. There was no lodging place for dust or dirt, and the place was well whitewashed. It is whitewashed twice a year. The whole place was just as clean as it was possible to have it. One hundred cows had been milked there that morning, and there was not the slightest sign of excrement of any kind. After the rough part had been removed they had scrubbed the whole place out with water, and they did that every day. The man in charge was hauling water some distance for the purpose of scrubbing that stable every morning after the cows were turned out. He did it because he believed it paid him to do so.
