It appears by several accounts already
published, and from many verbally commu-
ncatcd, that the practice Of milking cows
with straws, is both injurious and dangerous.
\ friend las lately informed us that, pleas
ed with the idea on novelty of the imiirore-
ment, rs he then thought it WAS, he suffered
it to be tried upon his cow but i'll two or
three mikings tho udler became swelled
and sore, and the milk was pressed from the
tcats with difficulty, and not fit for use; and
had they not ceased, the life Of the COW must
have been endangered


We have likewise been informed that
gentleman who lives in the lower part OF n.
Castle county, lost a valuable COW i'll conse-
aucncc of suffering her TO be MIXED with
straws. He also, was pleased with the cx-
pertinent, and was delighted with the ctiica-
cy of the plan when he saw four beautiful
streams flowing from the uddor Of the ami
mal without her appearing conscious Ct I'M
dcrgoing the process Of milking; but this
had not been repeated above four or 1--we
times before the tcats became inilamcd and
much swcllcd, which was communicated to
the utl,ler, and in short time the COW died.
These warnings we hope will be sufficient to
dc&er milk maids and others from practising
this injudicious mode of milking upon their
COWS, for it surely will be attended with Sc
rious consequences. If the Mildlcborough
boy had received reproof instead of applause
for his discovery, or if the father of the boy
had not discovered so much of the genius
COWS, which have fallen victims to this inju-
rious mode of milking, would have yet been
nipping the grass, and yielding the flowing
pail.
