WHAT Is A Coon Cow PA writer in a re-
cent number of the Galaxy gives the follow
ing general hints regarding the selection
of a good COW for milk producing:
First. Health, good constitution or d.
gestive apparatus, for which We Srequire a
capacious belly.
Second. That the largest possible devel-
opment of the animal shall be behind. in
the udder and parts adjacent. A good COW
is likely to be wedge shaped, Of which the
head is the smaller end. Big heads. or
horns, or shoulders are not desired, be
cause they have to be nourished by the
food. But these are indispensable; a large
bag, and headquarters to support and minis
ter to it. What do our milkmen look for
in selecting milk giving cows The first ap-
pearance, to judge, will convey an idea
as 70 the health or constitution of the COW.
He will ask, also. bony frame, one that
does not steal the fat from the milk; and he
viii feel the sk,I. to find it flexible and coy
cred with eloseisoftish hair; he win ask for
good lung room, a capaciotis belly, a wide
rump and well developed bag, covered with
soft hair. Extending from this bag forward,
be VIII be desirous to see prominent the
two great veins which lose themselves in
the belly: and on the back of the udder he
will look for many well defined branchirg
yeins. Then cornes Guenon's ''milk-miE-
ror," which is broad strip of hair run
ming up from the udder to the vulya, which
he considered the oneN thing needful; but
which has not, in this country, been found
an infallible test, though 1t is a good one.
Ii, In addition, the cow rs gentle, good tenn
pered, you are almost sure ofa milk-maker.
Look for that kind.

Corn FODDER falling off in milk,
and the neglect to provide food for soiling.
induces many to turn stock into the mead
ows early, and before they have become
thickly coated with aftermath. II is very
pad economy, very INJURIOUS to meadows,
while the seemingly '.fair feed is swept
away in q few days, and scanty yield of
milk is the result for The balance of the
season. There is no crop, therefore, that
pays the dairyman better, one year with
another. than the few acres devoted to
corn fodder Corn fodder should be fed in
the stalls, as there is no waste, besides the
stock thus fed are more quiet and less dis.
posed to hang about, waiting for their feed.
as they do when the fodder is given them in
the open field Each COW in the sta.l gets
it's proper share of food, and there IL no
hooking or soiling OF the fodder by master
cows. The herd should be fed regularly at
stated hours, and they soon become accus-
toned to the time, coming of their own ac-
cord 10 the stables, and during other Dor
tons of the day they win feed more in the
pastures.
Corn fodder for soiling should be wilted
before feeding. 1t is good plan to cut in
the morning and let it hay in the sun till
afternoon, and then feed. In this way some
of the external moisture will be got rid of.
and the food viii be preferred by animals
and produce better results Corn fodder is
very succulens, and-does not need to be
further diluted by feeding when the dew or
water is adhering to 1t. Better reduce the
water in it by wetting and partially drying.

q strong prospects or o war with France, which was
happily averted In 1876 he was assigned to the
task OF removing the Cherokee Indians from the
Territory OF Arkansas to their present Territory,
which duty he performed Ia thoroughly satlslac-
tory manner. Upon tue outbreak OF the Canadian
rebellion, 1883, he was ordered TO the frontiers OF
Maine. While here he made u tour through the
northern wilds OF the state with view OF establish
ing defensive works along the border. His position
was very delicate one. false step being sufficient
to plunge the country into another war with Great
Britain The sympaihies Of the people were with the

much possible. Nv pursuing strictly Impartial
course General Wool succeeded IN preventing
breaches In the neutrality laws, without giving
offence to American popular sentiment, and for his
tact and Judgment during these trying times was
much praised, and added greatly to his reputation.
Early In 1871 General Scott was promoted to the
rank OF Major General and placed IN command OF
all the United states lie L. leIt orgadier general.
General Wool, who had hitherto held his commits

the government that he was thus singled out from

Mexico the General was ordered TO tae West Tor the

MILWAUKEE,.
Action OF the Chamber OF Commerce.
OH the Proposition Presented ~
the Warehouse aud Elegating As
sOciatian OF New YOFk.

MILWAUKEE, March 23.-The Com
mittee Of the Chamber of Commerce
TO whom was referred the proposition
presented by the Warehouse and FL
evat ng Association Of New York,
report resolutions to the effect that
the Milwaukee Board OF Trade heart
lily approves ths proposition that all
grain should be DISCHARGED from the
canal boats Immediately on arrival at
New York, the rates of elevatIng and
storage at the same time being redUc-
Cd TO one half those now charged.
aud we respectfully recommend the
receivers and dealers in New York
and elsewhere to unite with the
Warehouse aud Elevating Associa-
tiou IL devi5ing such n system as will
best accomplish this end.
feS0tgcd, That the system of longer
or shorter. credit on purchases Of
grain In scab0ard cities, introduces
an element of risk and uncertainty
which is entirely unnecessary, and at
the same time detrimental to the
trade, by Increasing the hazard Of
legitimate business, aud imposing a
heavy tax, in the shape Of interest
grlarauteese and actual losses to deal
crs, and the establishments of the
system OF selling grain only for cash.
lsfS0iCcd, Thai the charges levied for
elevatpg, transfer, insurance, &c, at
the Eastern lake ports, and especially
at the port OF Buffalo, are notoriously
excessjye and unjust, being roain-
tained only by combination Of
Interests which are entirely opposed
TO the necessities. of commerce, and to
the principles recognized Ia the pres
ent era Of commercial progress; and
while we enter our most earnest pro
test against this system, we notice
with pleasure that the same move
ment is now being made by the grain
dealers in Buifalo to bring about a
reduction in charges on grain passing
through that port.
Res0iced, That the heavy tolls
levied by the State Of New York on
all produce passing through her ca
mails, are an uuWise and excessive
burden ou the Western trade-iDiu-
rious alike to her interests and 20
ours-aunualiy diQertiDg an increas-
ineiy large portion OF the trade
which should naturally follow the
canal, to seek other channels Of out
let, thereby lcssening her complete
ness of equipment, and rendering
transportation more expensive and
insecure; and as our situation at the
most Northern important shipping
point ou the Western lakes renders
Us more dependent on the facilities
afforded by the State of New York |
for the transportation of cur pro-
duce, and Identifies our interests Ia
this relation more closely With |
hers, we feel the more deep
II that every consideration Of /
truth calls for large reduction Of {
tolls and the utmost facilities for the .
accommodation of the Western trade, /
and that unless the transit charges 1
on our produce are lesseued or we /
can develop some new outlets suited /
to our position and wants, much of I
the trade that now employs our rail-
roads and Lake marine, and sustains |
our commercial prosperity, will be !
