TIC choose 4 Good ra.sk Cow.

Select from good breed We prefer the
DeVons--brlght bay red. The Durhams are
roam, red, white, and mixturs of these co,ors.
Ayrshire cows are generally red and white
spotted. Herefords, req or darker colored
with white faces. Attorneys. pale red and
mixed with white. These are the principle
colors Ct the several breeds, of which the Dur
hams are the largest and Attorneys the sma'-
lest. Different individuals will contend for
each breed being the best and only one that
should be selected for their mi liking Qualities.
But animals of each breed, and of crosses of
theln, often prove remarkable mixers, and so
90 some OF the native stock of the country
Wo families OF cows, one owned by Col.
Jaques of Ten Hills Farm, near Charlestown,
Mass, and one owned BY Mai. John Jones
of Wheatand Farm, near Middetown, Della
ware, were called native breed.
II we were about selecting milk COW, we
would endeavor to get one out of such erd
of good mixers one with soft, vevety-fee-
ling skin, slim neck, fine legs, broad stern,
with what is called large escutcheon, that is,
the hair Of the stern pointing inward /; large
called milk veins, on the belly. Above all
things, select your cow of gentle, pleasant
conntensnce, because a first rate mixer NAV
be SO vicious as to be worthless. Do not look
Tor Hesh, as the best cows are seldom fat
their hip bones are often very prominent, and
'hey have the appearance being low in flesh.
A beety COW is seldom a good mixer.
The next thing is good mixer ? That is
how much milk must she yield per day?
COW that will average five quarts Of milk day
through the year, making 1926 quarts, is an
extraordinary good COW. One that will yield
five quarts day for ten months. is a good
COW, and one that will average fur quarts
during that time is more than an aver
age quality. That would make 200 quarts
a year, which, at three cents quart, is $50.
We believe the Orange County milk dairies a.
verage about $40 per cow, and the. quality of
the cows is considerably above the average of
the country.
1t is as important to keep COW good as if
is to get her good This can never be done
by careless, lazy mixer. Always milk
your COW quick and perfectly clean and never
try TO conteract nature by taking away her
calf. Lett suck, and don't be afraid sit will
butt her TO death.' II will distend the udder,
and make room for the secretion of milk Be
gentle with your cow ,and you vii have gentle
cow. Select well, feed we'll, no use well, milk
well, and your COW will yield well.--[ New
York Trib

But this game Of letters amused her
First it pleased her intellect, and then her
heart was interested !; finally her feelings,
and her curiosity became so lively that she
wrote:
LET us give up this jesting, which has
pleased me for the moment, but which
should continue on longer, and come with
your apologies to Chaton."
The lover answered:
..Yes, if you will add Hope
The memorable lady replied.
s'lt only a word is necessary to decide
you, be it So" And the word was writ
ten.
The young man appeared, and was not
loser. The gift Of pleasing belonged
to his person as much as to his style, and
he had made such rapid progress under
water that it was easy to complete his
conquest on land
Thus Nine. D--caught a husband
without wishing it, and in spite Of the
vow she had taken never to re-marry.
Holding the line she had been caught

Eshe could form them by her wise and ten

Try Of mankind appeared to be opened-a
page unblotted by the blood-stains of ty-

and destined to be written over only by
the records Of an ever-maturing nobleness
and grandeur This was the ambition of
her father-of those who laid the beams
of her habitation deep in the principles of
virtuous freedom, and bequeathed to her
the heroic precedent Of singe-hearted de-
votioE to justice and right. But, alas, how
are their hopes Frustrated! Ere the first
half century Of her youth is passed, she
finds herself not engaged in hapd-to-hand
struggle for the preservation Of her pater-
nal acres, her unshorn and boudless prai-
ries, from slavery, but yielding them al
most without reluctance to the fatal blight.
When Niobe saw her fair sons and daugh-
tiers falling under the swift darts of the
angry gods, she wept herself to stone,

pride of her sculptors to represent as wear

brow, and trampling upon broken chains
with her feet, and bearing aloft the agis

without remorse, to death. She bellies her
symbols, she suppresses her inspirations;
