DaiIp kfnnrbrt 5ournaI.

The Live Stock Journal puts the pedi-
gree question in nut shell. declaring
that ''merit and pedigree cannot be placed
as opposed to each other. for while there
is great merit in good pedigree. there
is very little that is reliable in merit with
out poor breeding behind it; and the be-
ginner will find that if he bases his hopes
on the merit alone-ignoring the pedigree
he will be apt to fall very short of real
izing his expectations, while with ewes
from reliable pure bred flocks. and judi
cious selections of rams with good pedi-
gree, he will, with proper attention, study
and continued perseverance, reach far
better results in the end, though the ewes
he starts with may not be of the highest
quality individually. This is an impor-
tant point that he should not lose sight of
in making up his fiock.''

Drying up Cows.

Should dairy cows be dried off. or should
they be MIXED up to calving time, if they are
disposed to yield milk up TO that time? To
answer this question pat, YES or no, would
only betray the ignorance of the speaker on
the subject of dairymen's practices and pre-
judices. We know of no subject that needs
intelligent airing at the meetings of our dairy
mems associations this winter, so much as
this. 1t is well known by all. that no matter
how great may be the flow of cows milk
when she first calves, if she goes dry too soon
she will not prove a profitable mixer. In
deed, most diarymen would take large-sized
surprise party if they could only test the
question as to the yearly yield of the two
cows that gave the most and least at the time
of calving. This could be approximated by
keeping the dates of drooping calves and GO
ing dry of the different cows in the herd with
their various yields weighed and recorded.
What we started out to say was that the
strange part of this object relates to the prac-
tices and prejudices of dairymen. In the
country we find farmers almost universally
drying their cows with the fear of hurting
them if MIXED up to calving time. Near the
cities, where milk is sold to customers no at
tention whatever is paid to the time a COW is
due to calve. She is simply MIXED as long
as she will give it and sold if she goes dry too
long before calving.
Breeders of dairy cattle. who handle high
priced cows, are in grave doubt on the sub
ject of drying off. They all know it is dan
gerous practice if not done with care and dill
gence. If the COW is neglected and forms
milk in her udder that is not drawn off. she 10
sure to suffer from the neglect, while good
mixers are almost certain to give milk up to
the day of calving, with pretty general
opinion that it Injuries the calf and creates
too heavy drain on the COW. Can our dairy
expounders at the conventions lay down a safe
rule to pursue in this matter? Let them try
it, by all means.-American Daiyyman.

The Seen gerfest.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 19.-It has been de-
cided by the members of the Milwaukee
musical society that the lack of hotel ia
cillties will necessitate the postponement
of then National S@ngerfest, which was to
have been held here in 1875. The proba-
bility is that meeting will take place in
1886. The power to decide this matter is
always with the society of tle city where
the ssengerfest is to be held, and since the
local musical society has reached
this conclusisn there is no doubt of
the postponement. 1t has not been Off
cially announced, but the meeting will be
held in few weeks and the decision of
the members ratified. Chicago has prom
ised chorus of 1000 voices, and San
Francisco, which has never been repre-
sented, promises large delegation. The
exercises will take place in the exposition
building. Our citizens have awakened to
the fact that there are no hotel facilities,
and will make move Immediately on the
arrival of Alex Mitchell from Europe to
erect an extensive edifce, as it is under
stood he has pledged 100000 towards the
enterprise under certain conditions.
