VIVA, Cows should Farmers Keept

What are the qualities necessary to constitute
good cow A good mixer alone does not, Ia
onr judgement, make good COW neither does
good breeder, nor good feeder. 1t is these three
qualities combined that make the colc. Give US
COW that is good for milk-quality, as we'll asquan-
tity, considered ed-that when properly bred to good
bulls will invariably produce good calves. and ono
that. when dried of her milk, will, with proper
care and attention, take on flesh rapidly and even
and. for one, we rest, for while atleast, salts
fed. And till we can raise up an entire herd OF
cows, each one of which shall possess these excel
lencies, our aim shall be to advance in improve
ment till we can accomplish our object.
To possess the first of these qualities. COW
should have fine head little wide above the
eyes, but quite small below. and appear somewhat
long. Her nose should be Of rich yellow color,
or at all events not black 1--WE do know OF any
full booded stock, Of any breed, with black noses,
but they frequently appear on stock as high bred
as fifteen-sixteenths) Her neck should be very
small where it joins the head, but widening and
deepening as it approaches the shoulders and brIs-
kets. Her udder should be of coed size, well COW
cred with long, soft hair, and not inclined to iiesh
mess large milk veins, and small delicate horns
they may be long in some breeds but ihey
should be fine, and she should have yellow
skin. -
To be good breeder, she should, in the first
place, be descended from good stock and the tarther
back you can trace he, from good stock, the bes-
ter. She should possess all the before mention
ed milking qualities, with broad, straight back
white oins and hips, long, deep quarters, rolnd
ribs, bones small, in prop rtion to her size deep
and full brisket, fore legs wide apart and short,
and lastly, she should be good handler. COW
that is good handler, will almost invariably pro,
duce rich milk; and if a frst.rate handler, and
possessing the aforementioned qualities, she will
be invariably go5d feeder. This handling quail
ity is, or has been too much overlooked by breed
ers and Judges of cattle shows. Judges that will
give in their decisions tor premiums on Stock
without even touching an animal, are, in our o.
pinion, unfit for that office. We should no< think
Of purchasing COW for milk. stock, aud beef
without knowing her to be a good handler.-BOD-
