That "Qeneral Purpose Cow {"

An agricultural paper says, upon o
topic which has occupied the minds OF
many thinkil e farmer and stockman,
that the Short. Horn, naturally a good
dairy COW, has been made mountain Of
flesh at the expense Of her milking Qu,l.
tiles. With exceptions, Of course, she
is bred and raised for her meat. Ia the
profit greater than it would be if thero
was trifle less meat and great deal
more milk? 1s the greatest profit SO.
cured by keeping two kinds Of cows, ono
for beef and the other for milk? We do
not believe it. The milking qualities Of
the Short-Horn, Hereford, and other
large breeds that possess such qualities
often successfully struggle against the
tendency Of our system Of breeding to
obscure them, and thus prove that We
could combine both milk and beef pro.
duction very easily If we only would ana
we should do It, 1--WE want cattle for
distinct purposes" The idea that has
eeveral times been broached, that we
want o new dairy breed, Is based prim-
arily upon the desire to have both q
milk and beef producer IN one animal.
A. good quality Of beef is the ideal
OF a farmers COW, and the ideal
can be realized If We only will.
All over the country the dairy Is re-
ce1vi 1g special attention, and to neglect
It where the circumstance are at oil
favorable to its success is not considered
the part of wisdom. On our Western
plains It may cut no figure in the Sc
lection Of stock, but it does cut q con.
siderable figure in the states, and es.
pecially In those states where the price
Of land is so high thatl we cannot COM
pete with more Western stock.raising.
The only way that beef can proftably
be produced under such circumstances
is to make the COW profitable ill the
time-to mako her earn q living and
yield q profit In the dairy until she is
ready for the butcher, and then her car
cass will prove profitable too.
The native COW is susceptible of being
MADE such gcneral'purpose animal as
we We have described to a very large degree.
valuable. Of course she Is fully adapted
hardy, having been made so,
as We all know, largely by long series
Of neglect and abuse. These Quantities
are desirable, and can be maintained.
Now. what does she need in the way OF
improvement? Her milking qualities
should be increased as far as possible
her form needs improvement; aptitude
TO fatten should be bred in. And the
quality of meat should be improved. No
one need to be told how this can be
done. Within the reach of almost every
one-at least within the reach of the
majority-are bulls of the beef-produc-
ing breeds, and the dormant milking
qualities Of whose families, too may be
awaKened to life in the offspring, thus
improving both the milking and beef
points. The very first cross will aston
ish one who has never given the matter
any attention, and we will venture to
say that the farmer who begins to breed
up will not stop until he has splendid
head Of ca,tle.-Chicago Tribune.
