Timothy for Dairy Meadows.

One of our principal meadow grasses
is timothy, and this forms tuber or
bulb just above the surface of the ground
and is injured or destroyed when this
bulb is cut or eaten of. Pasturing
meadows of this grass is likely greatly
to injure these bulbs, and this explains
the serious injury that occurs when
these meadows are pastured in the fall.
Cutting too close with moving ma
chimes often Injuries it. Timothy is
perhaps our most valuable meadow
grass, as, with proper attention. it will
easily continue len years in succession

Apprenticeship, in Teaching.

At the State Normal School in Worces-
ter, Mass, a very practical and Inter-
esting feature Is added to the regular
course of training, the result of which
ought to be the graduation of superior
class Of teachers. This feature is a kind
of apprenticeship covering six months
of time, the serving of which is optional
with the students 1t is entered upon
after the student has been ut school one
year. He is allowed at this time to go
into one of the public schools in the
city of Worcester to serve as assistant
to the regular teacher, taking part in
the general work of instruction and
management, and sometimes acting as
substitute for the teacher an hour, q
half day or a day at the discretion of
the latter and with the approval of the
City Superintendent. Only one student
at time is assigned to any teacher,
and each student serves in at least two
grades of schools during the term of his
apprenticeship. After finishing his ap-
premiership the student resumes his
course at the Normal School, spending
another year there before receiving his
diploma. Boston journal.

Points Of a Good Cow.


A gentleman said to have great ex-
perience in buying and handling stock
gives the following outlines of good
COW:
In the first place, will say that l be-
lieve in the Guenon escutcheon, but still
Think it needs a good deal of studying
to understand it. l see great MANY
think if it happens to be rather wide it
is No. l: But have seen very poor
cows on which the escutcheon was both
high and wide; but still it was broken
and badly shaped. We will commence
at the head. The muzzle should be
rather large, but the head small and
bony, with the face dished and wide
between the eyes; horns rather small
and amber color; ears small, thin and
yellow; neck thin and long, with clean
throat; neck will drop little in front
of shoulders, making what l call eve
neck; shoulders sloping, not heavy, but
lean or bony, back level with good
width of hips. The back bone should be
rough or loose jointed. l consider this
one of the best points. As you move
your hand along the back the joints
seem to be further apart and open.
Barrel broad and deep at the flank, with
the back ribs wide apart. Rump long
and rather wide, thighs long, thin and
wide apart, with legs short and bone
fine; hoofs rather long, but small; milk
veins large and where they enter the
body you can stick your fingers in;
udder well forward and we'll up behind,
with four good large teats set square
and wide apart. Udder soft and pliable
and not iieshy, so that when the milk is
drawn the udder is nearly gone. Tail
long and slim with good switch. Skin
should be soft and yellow with good
escutcheon and mild disposition. The
COW filling the above description or
nearly so, have always found good
one.-Cdnatid Globe.

Mistakes in Milking.

1--WE have frequent communica-
tipns." says the Aniericdn Otlitiuator,
'.from our subscribers concerning the
fact OF their COWS giving bloody milk.
No one would be surprised at COWS Civ
ing bloody milk If they were aware OF
what a network of blood vessels The nd
der of a COW is composed. No person
should ever make an attempt to milk a
cow till they have obtained some knowl-
edge Of its structure; then we perhaps
should dispense with a large number OF
those double-fsted men who do not
seem to haveany knowledge of the pur-
poses or anatomy OF a cows bag, except
for them to squeeze and drag it as
though it were piece of dead hide.
There is no objection to the strong
handed man as mixer, the stronger
the better, but it should be eccompa-
MED with touch as delicate as won.
ans. Whenever the COW manifests the
slightest sensitiveness the udder should
be thoroughly examined. Milking is q
pleasure to the COW when everything IL
all right and whenever it ceases to af.
ford qualification to the COW there il
evidently something wrong. Never

cost of all fertilizers put on that field,
and all seed put on same. On the right
hand page the cash value of all that
field has produced, The balance at the
end of the year would show me the
profit or loss on that field. And from
the amount of this loss or gain would
know what next to do with it. Without
this knowledge how could lintelligently

might have an opinion as to what profit
had, but such an opinion would be far
too unreliable to base any future opera

ing separate accounts with different
breeds, if had such with my dairy
cattle. my stock cattle, my working cat

hogs, my poultry, etc. Each OF these
accounts will show its gains or losses,
from which can decide the future man
agement. At the end of the year
would place on the right hand or Or.

THE DAIRY.

Pure, cool water is essential TO all
domestic animals, but more especially
to milk COWS. II you want pure butter,

halfinch rim projecting around the top.

',--How to Get q Full Milk PAIL
We assume that the. COW is properly
fed. Lacking this condition, no COW
can milk as she ought, says the London
Live Stock journal. But careful feed
ing seems to have hut little influence on
the milking properties of some cows;
they lay on flesh instead. Yot, as they
have first of all to live before they can
think of giving much milk, or in fact
any milk at all worth speaking of, and
as about two.thirds of the food they
have an appetite for goes to sustain the
Offices of life, it is clear that under.
feeding will not lead to profit. This
is a proposition well enough established
and IL appeals alike to our Judgment and
interest. Yet, after all, breed is of the
first Importance, because without it
good feeding is of small effect on the
milk pail; but, if we have both breed
and feed, the pail will overllow--if wo
let it. Breed, then, is first; food, next;
then good milking by hand, kind treat
ment, shelter from the storm, and all
that.

Held by the Hair of the Head.
boston Iournal.l

Boston Journal.
There is nothing especially
attractive in being carried by
the hair of the head at the rate
OF sixty miles an hour. This
was, however, the experience OF
a mailman, who attempted sui-
eide by jumping from car of
the Midland express train from
London to Leicester, England.
His father and woman, who
were the only other occupants
of the carriage, were unable to
control him. Throwing open
the door he leaped from the car
rage. Fortunately, his father
caught hold of his hair and the
collar of his coat. In this way
the son was held suspended for
some time, the train meanwhile
going at the rate of sixty miles
an hour. AS they approach
ed Market, Marlborough the ter
rible state of things was noticed
