present month his herd of 1,400, now
on the drive in charge of his partner,
Mr.. Spencer, will be turned over to the

Rural Record: "What domestIcation
has done for the COW is shown by this,
that the COW in its natural state gives
as much milk az will keep a calf about
two months, then for four months as
much as will partly sustain it; after
that the calf takes care of itself. On
the other hand the COW which art pro-
duced, gives as much milk for four
months in the year as will support four
or FIVE calves, and for five months more
as much as would support three, two
and one. Thus we find that almost
ey cry breed has its milking strains.
The Durham has its milking qualities
just in proportion as man has intro
duced them. The Hereford is also a
noted beef producing breed; but there
are strains which are deep mixers.
But man has not succeeded so well in
converting butter and milk producers
into heavy beef animals. The Ayre-
Shires, the Jerseys, the Guernseys are
not easily converted into beef animals,
yet it may be said that man changes
the character of animals almost at will.

ley, of Fort Collins, has about 1000

$500 head.-lBoomerang.
The c., B. & G., in Nebraska, is

The Chicago, Milwaukee &c st. Paul

ing stock, Judging from present indica-
tions.
There are numerous reports ahoat,
concerning the position of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railway, as re-
CARDS the Iowa pool, and some of these
stories are very extravagant indeed,
and others hint at a consolidation OF
the line with the Union Pacific railway.
The secret of the whole matter is in
the following simple and concise state
ment: 1.-THE new Milwaukee road is
now independent, and can choose be.

on its W hook. 1t is likely that the
latter will be tried first, and if not sue
