MILKING AND MILKING APPARATUS. 219 True, there are some cows of such phenomenal produc- tiveness that more frequent milking than twice a day is necessary. But the above remarks apply to such average cows as are found in most dairies. In regard to another delusion, skimming the cream at short intervals, which has been claimed to increase the yield, the author has spent six months at one time consecutively in his dairy in making all these experi- ments, but never got more butter out of the milk by many skimmings than was in it

In regard to another delusion, skimming the cream at short intervals, which has been claimed to increase the yield, the author has spent six months at one time consecutively in his dairy in making all these experi- ments, but never got more butter out of the milk by many skimmings than was in it, and with the usual skimming at the end of thirty-six hours in shallow pans, or twenty-four hours in deep pails, the skimmed milk never showed a trace of cream which would have repaid the labor of collecting it. The manner of milking should be systematic. It should be cleanly, rapid and complete. A good system.
