Coed milking cows.

4s
In consequence Of tie great scarcity Of
fodder, many an animal must goto the sham
bles that would otherwise have been VIM
tered for breeder. Now therefore is the
time Tor the farmers 10 select their best
milking cows and fat the rest. To be
good mixer is tile paramount merit Of
cows even while the dairy is considered
Of secondary consequence, and the milk
goes principally TO rearing the cali; its
importance for this object alone is great
magnitude in giving quick, full, and peE-
feet development to the calf. In those
sectio..s OF the south and west where beef
is the principal object Of attention, great re-
gard should be paid to the form which is
destined to give the proper share and ra-
pid and early maturity, and choice quali-
ty to the carcas when fitted for the shan-
bles. Whenever the dairy is the leading
object, the utmost attention should be paid
TO the quantity and quality of mild proau-
ced. We deem this matter Of So nyrh
Importance, that we should unhesitatingly
withhold premium from a COW exhibited
at any Agricultural Society ofthe Northern
Part Of the Union, however meritorious
the form, appearance, and blood. II the
most satisfactory record Of the quantity pf
milk produced between her annual caly-
ings were not given, and It's quality spe-
officially determined for the purpose of
making into butter; and If practicable
cheese also. The quantity Of milk aipne,
without knowledge Of its capability for
conversion into the latter products, We
think very unsatisfactory test Of merit;
as it has been frequently shown that .
cow, producing less than halfthe quantity
Of another, has given much larger yield
of butter. Much also depends On the
manner Of feeding. A cow placed in .
stable, or a small well shaded enclosure,
taking little exercise, and fed on peculiar
ly succulent food, such as an abundance Of
fresh clover, roots, rich slops, &C., will
yield large increase Of milk over one
which is allowed to ra.ehla in AZ, as4anfaa
range, and exposed to summers sun, or
fed on drier, yet nutritious food. The
difference resulting from the opposite eir-
cumstances. if carried TO extremes, would
not be less than two to one in the same
animal in quantity Of milk; though It would
be much less in Lutter; and probably If
converted into cheese, the result might be
even reversed. It is generally the case
that wherever the dairy is an object Of at
tention, oxen are much used for the yoke.
1t then becomes necessary to unite with
her milking qualities such form in the cow
as will insure working animal Of tho
right shape and limbs.--.dm. -agriclturiss.
