Rest For the Milk Maker.

Whenever a cow has been so bred as to produce milk continuously when fairly well fed it is Itetter for ttye cow to feed her well and continue to milk her up to time of calving. But it must be remembered that such cows are phenomenal cows and do not represent the common run ; rof good mot bad) dairy cows. Hence, as a rule, it is better to allow the average cow six weeks' rest between the milking period and the freshening. ■;
