Ter out to be poor one, for the very good
'eason that I could not afford it. | always

The great quality to be Obtained in a good COW
"a strong, healthy, physical constitution,
nd an ability to produce the greatest amount
II milk from a given quantity Of food.
20 lappetitc is also IN indispensable requis-
te; but this is not always an in licat:on Of at
rood mich cow for have hal cows that
'ould always eat an enormous quantity, thai
we're very inferior mixers. The food that
hey consumed seemed to 60 to produce big
'rame Of bone and muscle. never knew
dainty COW TO make a good mixer, strong
constitution is necessary to enable the COW to
stand out hard winters and sudden change Of
climate, and also the changes Of diet that so
often occur during the milking season. There
are some Indications by which strong vigor-
Gus constitution may be known, such as a
thick mellow skin--loose upon the frame soft
silky hair, bright, large and full eye; and
wide, fiat bones. She should te broad across
The loin and hips, short in the lines between
joints, and the whole bony structure should
DC so built as 10 combine rength and action.
Her body should be deep, back straight and
color bright brindle, inclining to yellow
rather than white.
The quality Oft milk is an essential item
in estimating the value Of a COW for general
use. For The purpose Of cheese making the
quantity is the principal consideration; but
for making butter the quality Of the milk must
also be estimated. For butter making and
general family use, prefer COW that gives
a small amount Of rich milk, 10 one that gives
/. large amount Of poor watcry stuff. Select
a COW for butter, tina, looks more like COW
than an OK have seen cows that had
heavy head, neck and shoulders, and compar-
atively light hind quarters, that actually
looked more like an OK in her general build
and appearance than like what . COW should
be and never knew one Of this description
to be worth her feed for either milk or butter.
Instead of possessing the characteristics Of
the opposite sex, she should show an opposite
design, by feminine countenance, light head
neck, shoulders, and fore arm, wild ming
back ward in the chest to the loin and hind
quarters, where the fullest development and
greatest strength are required. COW may be
etleminate in her appearance and structure,
without indicating weakness in her constitu-
ton. She should possess quiet disposition,
should stand firmly on all her legs, have soft.
mellow, copper colored teats which are easy
10 milk and not liable TO chap.
