Jndginr Cows.

There is no point in issue between the
breeders of dairy cattle about which
there is such diversity of opinion as
that of judging the merits of milk cows.
With horses the watch makes the critic
rion with runners and trotters, while
draft animals can be tested by the dead
pull, and carriage or park horses need
most to please the eye. With beef cattle
the scales and handling generally give
very good satisfaction though the butch
ers' block should be the ultimate critic
rion. When, however, we come to COWS
in milk to determine which is the best,
there are so many mate or latent virtues
and vices it is hard indeed to tell which
is the best in a herd without long and
patient study, and even then they vary
so in each year performance the degree
ofone season is often overruled by the
experiences of another.
In the showing of course the examina-
ton upon which the judges must rely is
of necessity the most superficial. To be
sure the cow can be MIXED and the
question as to which is the best when
fresh may be with proper precautions
against trickery tolerably wen deter
mined, but after all the best COW is not
the one that does best Immediately after
calving, but on the contrary it is gen.
orally the one that does best Immediately
before calving. That is, the one that
holds out best throughout the year, is
the one that returns the greatest profit
to the owner. This is often proved by
actual experiment to the utter amaze
ment of the owner. especially the first
season that the owner uses the scales.
1t is the old story of the tortoise and the
hare.
Again, the question of quality yield is
of greatest value only TO the man who
sells milk. while the butter maker is
more anxious about the cream than the
butter supply. This point is exceedingly
difficult to determine on short acquaint-
ance with the cow. Practical science
seems unable to solve the problem.
Cream gauges and laetometers alike are
misleading. Nothing but the churn
seems to be able to settle the question
outside of elaborate and expensive an
alysis. Having tried all the modern
appliances for cheap and expeditions
tests, we are inclined to think the mouth
is the best Judge after all. With care
and considerable practice most people
can tell rich milk when they taste it,
though there are many ways to deceive
the tongue. Milk that has stood long
enough for the cream to rise and is then
thoroughly mixed again will all taste
much richer than it would when first
drawn from the COW. This is probably
owning to the lumpiness of the cream,
which lakes hold on the organs of taste
more readily.-Americds Ddi'ymGn.

THE DAIRY.

Professor Willard estimates tnat a
good butter factory with capacity to
make mp the milk Of q thousand COWS,
can be built for sS, 900.
The outlook for dairy prospects is
better this year than ever before. This
Is due to the partial abandonment of
dairying in the east, the drouth there, the
high price of beef and the lack of increase
in the west. Butter is bound TO boom
this fall and winter.
The farmers are agitating the differ
ence in quality of milk taken to the
creameries. They think some more def
mite way Of determining the value of
milk than weighing should be settled
upon.
An exchange remarks that sales of
butter deliverable at . future date is q
new feature in the Chicago and New
York markets This has come into prac-
tice since creameries have been making
butter on such uniformity that it is not
necessary to sell by sample.
Within a radius of seventy-fve miles
from Montreal upwards of 200 cheese
factories have been built within a COM
paratively short time. Ontario is also
increasing her make of cheese. Thus
far this year Montreal has shipped to En-
gland one-hah as much cheese as New
York.
Wisconsin stands among the fore
most States for dairy products. Only
i've States exceed it in amount and only
three in the production of cheese, as
shown by the census Of 1880. 1t ex-
ceeds either Vermont, Massachusetts,,
Kentucky, Maine, Missouri or Vir-
ginia- It manufactures in the year
IL -
1000. 900 pounds of cheese 1t contains
over 200 cheese factories and creamer-
les.
For profitable dairy, do not buy
COWS, but raise them. Keep careful
record of every milking, and make fire.
quent tests of the butter quality of every
cows milk. Raise the heifers of only
the best third of the herd, not the favor
ite cows, but those of the best record.
Use eonly good bulls-the bull is half the
herd. Dispose of two or three COWS, or,
preferably, of one-fourth of the herd,
selecting the poorest cow by the record
every year. This is the vital point-to
make the dairy pay, Gull the herd!
Mr.. Alvord, in his address on the
factory system of butter-making, de-
hvered at Rutland before the Vermont
Dairymen's Association, stated that the
farmers of Franklin County, Mass, sent
of during the year 1880 490 tons of but
ter, which broughton the average about
three cents per pound less than creamery
butter from factories in the vicinity.
This loss of three cents equalled in the
aggregate the pretty little sum of $685.
14S. which might have gone into the
pockets of the farmers of Franklin
County, and at the same time have
saved their wives an untold amount of
hard work and unceasing care and
anxiety. The average number of pounds
of milk required to make pound of
butter at the factory the entire season
through was about twenty-five.

Rrains Necessary ror Success.

The making of butter and cheese to-
day is no suitable calling for an unthink-
ING man; it demands brains, and is
really no ordinary mental discipline.
The wheat raiser has but few and SIM
pie things to think of. He may plow,
sow, reap and market five hundred
acres of grain, and still be man of few
ideas and of narrow mental culture. But
the dairyman is compelled by the very
necessity of his business to be q man
with eve open and active mind. He
must see and talk with his bro ther dairy
men. He must visit their establishments
and study their methods. He must know
the best breed of cattle and quantity and
quality Of milk they yield. To this end,
he must not simply stay at home, but
he must stay at home and travel too.
He must see with his own eyes the
choicest herds. He must attend the
fairs and conventions. He must read
books and papers pertaining TO his cali
ing. In close connection with system
comes the kindred matter of tidiness.
The producer of barley and corn may be
a sloyenly man. but the dairyman learns
to be neat man.
According to the proverb, ''Cleanli-
ness is next to godliness," it is even so
in the vocation of the dailyman- The
very demands of his work preach to him
moral lessons as to his personal habits
For example, no man can be smoker
of tobacco and at the same time good
butter make, for whatever taints the
air of the milk room affects the cream
instantly and INJURIES the quality Of pro-
duct.
In fact, nothing is more sensitive to
atmospheric impurities than the mate
rial on which the dairyman works. The
experts that stand between him and the
consumer can detect the presence OF the
slightest foreign flavor in the butter
