A correspondent of the Chicago Times says
that in selecting mich cows the color OF the
inside of the ears Is an infalllble guide. If
the skin on the inside of the ear is OF rich,
yellow color, the cow is to give milk rich IN
butter But one should be cautious to clean
away any secretion that may accumulate on
the skin so that the true color OF the skin on
the inside of the ear may be seen; otherwise
the accumulated secretion, if taken for the
color of the skin, mlghtlmlslead. 1t is notice
able also, that cows whose milk produces
high coored butter, have large amount OF
secretion, which Is thick, oily and orange-col,
ored, while cows producing the lightcolored
butter, have a thin and scanty pale yellow
secretion, found only at the bottom of the
ear.
The following are considered the points OF
desirable dairy COW : A firm and bony head,
taperng well down to a small muzzle; the
skin should show yellow color; deep shout
ders; neck coming out large from the body
to taper toward the head; low in the legs,
with deep chest and good breadth for lungs;
great width across the loln, and the escut-
cheon wide. The udder should be set full up
under the body, with wide teats and wide
quarters. The hair should be bright to insure
a healthy condition.

Have those who hold to this theory ever be-
thought them of the time when they made
their experlments-the time with reference
to the changes of the moon? My experience
goes to prove that heat has nothlngto do with
producing sex For instanCe-a mare has
Twins, one of each sex Heat in such case
certainly has had no influence. The tenden-
CIV of ali my experiments has been to show
that if a person desires males in horses, he is
most likely to succeed by breeding in the
new moon, If females in the old moon. am
satisfied if those who are experimenting on
the subject will closely watch the moon, as
have done for the last fifteen years, they Will
concur in my conclusions.

attempt to produce sex in swine, and the
writer claims that the desired result was oh.

For grating take four parts of mutton tai
low, eight parts of resin and two parts bees
wax. Melt them all together over a slow
fire When thoroughly melted and mingled,
pour the mixture off in small quantities into
a tub of cold water. As soon as the masses
thus poured into the cold water cool down
sufficiently to be handled, work precisely in
the same manner you would candy, by draw
lrc out and doubling over, until the whole
presents a uniform color, and becomes hard
enough TO mold into balls or sticks. This
wax, when it is cold, should be quite hard,
out il should be tough al any ordinary sum-
mer temperature. II, however, II is found
that for the climate where II Is to be used 1t
