I feel so silly for askin, but how do you use the milker on a cow?

Equip the milker in the top slot and then you'll get a little mini game (like when you pet them...) you'll move the stylus up and down like you're milking a cow! - There is a trick though.... If you go into a building and keep using the milker ( no animals needed), you'll see that the milker level goes up. Once you get to level 1, each time you use it it will go up a full level. Level 99= 99 bottles of milk!!

You have to go to Galen's house around 12:00 noon on a Saturday (in spring). He'll give you the fishing pole. Make sure he's in the house, not outside.

OK what I think your problem might be is that your cow might be to young to use the milker. When it gets older you can equip the milker and use it or you could equip the touch glove and the milker and use it.

Hope I helped

Simply equip it, then press Y near a cow. To get a fishing pole, it must be spring, then go to Galen's house at about 12:00pm to 2:00pm.
