Co1gs-Ts there any room 10 doubt that the
profits of our 6airies may be greatly augment
ed by proper attention to the breed of milk
cows? There is some prejudice on this point.
1t is said good keeping makes good cows, vet
those who say it, see in their own cow yards
very frequently, single cow, not bigger nor
better fed than others, giving double the guam
lily of milk. 1t is very careless and stupid TO
60 on rearing the calves from poor cows in
preference TO those from good cows, yet this
is pretty generally done, because the excellent
cows bring excellent fat calves for the mar
ket Their good or bad qualities are I'M
doubleday, as we'll as their color and size-at
least in very considerable degree Why
should we scruple this any more than the I'M
provement OF the breed Of horses The bull
is TO be chosen with no less care than the cow.
The best cows for milk may be reared as GER
tainly as horses for racing or draught--and
in dairy country, the total neglect of this
important care is shameful and unaccountable.
We have selected these few remarks for the
present-at another time we intend TO offer
