WESaE' rs 4 GOOD COW !

A writer in recent number Of the
Galaxy gives the folloming general
hints regarding the selection of a
good cow for milk producing:
"First. Health, good constitution,
or digestive apparatus, for which we
require capacious belly
"Sccon1. That the largest possible
development of the animal should be
behind, indeed the udder and parts
adjacent. A good COW is likely to be
wedge shaped, of which the head is
the smallest end Big heads. or
horns, or shoulders, are not desired,
because lley have TO be nomished
by the food. But these are indispcn-
sable; large bag and headquarters
to support and minister to il. What
do our millmen look for IN selecting
milk giving cows? The first appear
ancc, to jadge. will convey an
impression as to the health or CON
slituti0n Of the COW. He will ask,
also, a hony frame, one that does not
steal the fat from the milk; and he
will feel the skin, to find it flexible
and covered with close, scottish air !;
he will ask for good lung room, a
capacious belly, Il wide rump, and
weIl-devcloped bag, covered with
hair Extending from this bag for
ward, he will be desilious to see
prominent the two great veins which
lose thcmsclvce ia the belly; and on
the back Of the udIcr lie will look
for many, well-dclined branching
veins. Then comes Guonon's milk
Mirror which is a broad strip of hair
running up from tie udder to the
vulva, which is considered the one
;hing ncedIul but which has not in
this country been found an infallible
test, though it is a good one. II, in
addition, the COW is gentle, good
tempered, you are almost sure of a

PLANTING FRUIT 'aEaE3ES.

One of the comforts of q home IS
the fruit growing Oh every home
stead. We hear of persons almost
everywhere mourning the want of
fruit, particularly in this section of
country, and in many other places,
as If there was no remedy. But how
came the East and North so supplied
with it? Did the trees crow OF their
own accord? Verify, nay but those
who went before us labored to secure
fruit for themselves and their poster
i.y. Our orchards are shamel'nlly
neglected. We have a fertile virgin
soil; well adapted to the harder
kinds of fruit, such as apples, pears,
plums and cherries. But to have
them speedily we must plant them
spcedily-reflect and go to work.
We need rot wait till we can plant
out large orchard, but get a few
trees, if no more, and set them ont
With great care, for time spent in
planting a tree well is not lost; and
the next year get n few more; and
so on year after year, as each IS able.
There are many reasons why we
should begin at once. Let not next

ADVANTAGES OF \ EsGysYrGS efE,
CROPS,

The past year has not, on the
whole, been a satisfactory one to
farmers, especially to those engaged
almost wholly in the cultivation OF
wheat, oats, and cereals of like nature.
1t has been pretty well demonstrated
that to sell wheat al eighty cents q
bushei entails an actual loss OF fully
twenty-five per cent. to the average
flrmer. A. far as corn and oljs are
concerned, 1t may be truthfully said
that half Of those who have at all
entered largely into their cultivation,
have barely held their own. " hile
the prices of grain have thus ruled
low, those of animal products have
been comparatively high. This, how
ever, would be 10 reason FOL farmers
to rush extensively into the business
OF stock-raising; the lesson which
they received from hops ought to be
sufficient to make them refrain from
ever embarkirg in similar enterprises
But it teaches the necessity OF TO
tation of crops, the advantages o.
which are very obvious. In the frs,
place, there is less exhaustion Of tht
soil. Single crop farming is very
severe on land 4 rotation has beer
found to improyeit. Again, rotation
brings i'll improving crops, such as
clover, and hocd crops, which eithel
in their growth or cultivation ado
largely to the amount Of crops pro
duced on the farm. : he farmer
through this, is better prepared t.
meet the various demands in III,
different markets, and is not depend
cnt on the success or failure of ont
crop for his success or failure daring
the year. Ard another great poin'
is that with a good rotation the farm
work is not SO hurried any particular
ime, but is spread over the whole
season, doing away with the cost o
much help, which single crop farming
must necessarily incur-DetroH FIRE.

Take a pint Of turpent:ne; one
ounce of finely pnlyerized corrosive
sublimate; one ounce Of camphor.
Let the mixture stand for twcnty-four
hours when it will be tit for use. The
value of this liniment depends greatly
upon the fnences to which the cor
rosive sublimatc is pulverized. This
is the most penetrating liniment in
the world. 1t destroys all infection,
putridity, liberation. old running
sores, proud flesh, and al skin and
bone diseases of the animal. In us
ing always shake the bottle well be
fore taking out the stopper. Pour
the liquid into an earthen vessel, as
it corrodas vessels of metal. Apply
with a little mop of soft rag tied on a
stick, once a day for five days, then
omit for three days. If the liniment
is too severe, grease with hogs lard,
wash the parts clean and apply again.
