Selecting Dairy Cows.

Look first to the great characteristics of q
dairy cow-a large stomach, indicated by
broad hips, broad and deep loins and sides, a
broad or double chin-these indicate a large
digestive apparatus, which is the first essen
tial requisite to the manufacture of milk
Secondly, good constitution, depending
largely upon the lungs and heart, which
should be well developed, and this is easily
determined by examination; but the vigor
and tone of the constitution are indicated by
lustre of the hair and the brightness of the
eye and horns, and the whole makeup
Thirdly, having determined her capacity for
digesting surplus food for making milk, look
carefully to the receptacle for the milk-the
udder-and the veins leading to it, The COW
may assimilate large amount of food which
goes mostly to lay on flesh and fat, but if she
has long, broad and deep udder, with large
milk veins, it is safe to conclude that her
large capacity for digestion and assimilation
are active in filling this receptacle. In fact,
the udder is the first point to look ut in
cursory examination OF n cow, for Nature is
not apt to create in vain. lift reaches to the
back line the thighs, well up behind, reaches
well forward, is broad and moderately deep,
with teats well apart, and skin soft and elias
tic, it may he inferred that Nature has provid-
ed means for filling it,
If the udder be small round cylinder
hanging down in front of the thighs, like
six quart pail, the cow cannot be profita-
bic mixer, whatever digestive apparatus she
may have.
A yellow skin and yellow ear (inside)a are
almost universally regarded as present in
COW that gives rich yellow milk but after
you find the indications mentioned above, you
may admire as many other points as you
please---such as first. class cscutcheon, n long
slim tail, u beautifully turned dshing face,
dropping waxy horn small straight, slim leg,
or any other fancy points but do not look for
those till you have found the essentials.-Na-

FORESTS AND RAINFALL.-A French natur-
alist has been investigating the relation be.
tween forests and rainfall--a question ofgrow-
ing interest in this country, where the forests
are rapidly passing away. The SCIENTIST finds
that it rains more abundantly over forests
than over open ground, especially when trees
are in leaf; that the moisture of the air over
forests is greater than that over open ground !;
that the leaves intercept from one-third to
onehalf the rainfall ; and that the shelter of
the trees so restraints evaporation that the
earth is moistened four times as much as
on open ground. Pine and resinous woods
he finds to be particularly powerful in attract
ing rainfall, and the water collected in q year
above the pines was nearly two inches great
er than that measured on surrounding open
ground. The influence of forests in prevent
ing and ameiorating droughts is thus shown
to be very great

The Same Old Game.

The other afternoon the tools, implements,
fixtures appurtenances and whatever else be-
longs to the game of croquet. were put in po-
sition on lawn up Woodward avenue, and
rs II young lady and n young man who seem
ed to be her lover, took up the mallcts to start
the balls, bony looking old tramp stopped
and leaned on the fence, and got his mouth
puckercd up for something good. The young
man took the first shot, and, before the ball
had ceased rolling, the girls voice was heard
calling,
"You didn't knock fair--you'vc got to try
it over"
Before either of them were half way down
she had occasion to remind him that he
wasn't playing with blind person, and that
she could overlook no cheating. AS she went
under the last arch, he felt compelled to re-
mark that her playing would rule her out of
any club he ever heard Of On the way back
she asked him why he couldn't be an honest
man as well as n jockey and falsifier, and he
inquired why she didn't write set of rules to
tally with her style of playing.
"Its coming-'taint five minutes off,
chuckled the old tramp, as he took new grip
on the fence and shaded his eyes with his hat.
"Don't you knock that ball away" shouted
the girl, a minute after.

"Nor in you"

hurled her mallet at a stone dog.

RUST IN WHEAT-Rust is a fI,hgus that is
propagated by spores that are always present
in the air, and that as soon as they find
suitable home, terminate and send forth
millions ofother spores. They are not more
prevalent in the air in wet than in dry seasons
but 1t is in the wet seasons that the most
damage is done to the. winter wheat When
wheat plants are in a perfectly healthy state
they are proof against the attacks ofrust, the
flinty coating of the stem presenting no rest
ing place for the fungus. But when the
plants are weakened through being grown
on land that has been overcropped or over
MANFRED. or through seed of some worn out
variety being sown, they become a ready
prey to the rust. A shower passing over
the crop on warm day will leave it in just
such condition that the rust spores can attach
themselves and thrive.

HAY For SwINE.-Few farmers are aware
of the fact that hay is very beneficial to hogs,
rough food as well as horses, cattle or the
human race. To prepare it, you should have
a cutting box or hay cutter and the greener
the better. Cut the hay as short as oats, or
shorter, and mix with bran short or middlings
and feed as other food. Hogs soon learn to
like it, and if soaked in swil or other slop
food, it is highly relished by them. In winter
use for the hogs the same hay you feed your
horses and you will find that, while it saves
bran, or other food, it puts on flesh rapidly
as anything that can he given them. In sum-
mer the use of hay can be commenced as
early as the grass will do to cut, and when
run through the cutting box, can be used to
advantage by simply soaking in fresh water
until il sours.

THE SAMEOLDw WAY.

The world moves on i'm the same old way,
And nothing is new from day to day.
We change, but the world, the steady old soul,
Moves on with its same untring roll.
The marriages, births, and new-made graves,
Are chronicled here, and from over the waves,
The murders, accidents, wars fierce roar,
Are only the echoes of others before.
A man is missed from among his kind,
A drop from the bucket left behind,
How much is he missed go ask the men,
He left in the throng that closed again.
We talk of news" it is for an hour,
But the sun goes down on wilted flower;
And the morning papers, damp from the press,
Bring the same old themes In some new dress
Yes, the world moves on in her slow old way,
And nations have crumbled and gone to de-
cay,
And here are we plodding as they did of old,
Among few relics deemed grand to behold
Yet 1t will not be long ere nations unborn,
viii settle where we now gather corn,
And we shall he silenced and turned into clay,
While the world will keep rolling the same
old way.

WASHING OF HILL-sIDEs-One of the most
successful methods to prevent serious damage
from washing of cultivated hill.sdes during
heavy storms, is TO terrace the hill by blowing.
At short intervals two or three burrows OF
the soil are turned down hill, thus making a
nearly level bank at short distances, as you
pass down the slope. The last furrow makes
a channel in which the downward water 10
caught, and may be carried off at one side of
the hill-at any rate it will arrest the rapid
downward flow, and give the water more
time to soak in the soil A hillside, specially
given to washing, should be put into grass
after being terraced. With terracing and
firm sod as covering, very little damage may
be feared from gullies made by descending

Mrs. win.lov,. Soothing Syrup.

REV. SYLvANus COBB thus writes in
the BrsToN CHRISTIAN FREEMAN:-we
would by no means recommend any kind
of medicine which we did not know to be
good particularly for infants. But OF
Mrs: Winslow,s Soothing Syrup We can
speak from knowledge; in u own family
it has proved a blessing indeed, by giving
an infant troubled with collie pains, quiet
sleep, aud unbroken rest at night.
Most parents can appreciate these bless
ings. Here is an article which works to
perfection. and which is harmless; for
the sleep which it affords the infant is
is perfectly natural, aud the little cherub
awakes as " bright as a button" And DUR
ing the processof teething, it's value is
i%ncalculable. We have frequently heard
mothers say that they would not be with
out it from the birth of the chile till it
had finished the teething siege, on any
consideration whatever. Sold by all drug
gists. Is cents a bottle.
