Do Your Cows Pay a Profit.

There are many dairymen who have
cows in their herds that pay them no
profit at all, aud that sheuld for this
reason be weeded out. Such cows will
prove still more Improbable during the
winter months. for their yield of milk
will then be smaller, aud on this account
now is the time to dispose of them before
they begin on the winter supply of food
which can be given to cows that will re-
turn profitable yield for it. It is sur.
prising how few dairymen will give suf-
hcient attention to their herds in the
way OF keeping an accurate account of
what each COW is doing, SO that they
can tell which return profit and which
come short of this, so that what is real
lied from the good cows is drawn upon
to make up for the loss on others. A
surprise is in store for many dairymen
when they come to make these. tests.
What weuld be thought of merchant
who sold goods without knowing what
certain kinds cost, trusting to the whole
business showing profit on the chance
that some articles would be sold high
enough to compensate for what might
be lost on other sorts? And yet this
would be as wise as for man to keep q
herd of cows without knowing which are
worth keeping. This is specially inn
portant when the margin of profit is
small at best, and consequently the
loss on poor cow may absorb the profit
on more than one good animal. The
dairy business will be found much more
satisfactory when those who follow it
adopt more businesslike methods

French Ideas of Horse Breeding

lnasmuch as the French were the
founders of the Percheron breed and
have brought them up to thsir present
excellence, their ideas on the subject are
entitled to consideration. Tho follow
ing, from the Paris correspondent of an
exchange, though rather Frenchy in its
style, gives some idea of French meth
DDS:
The breeders of Percherons are urged
that while securing good mares-and the
best stations as matter of course-not
to overlook the equally essential point of
having abundance of food, and OF q good
quality all the year round. In meadows
where a medium s ze animal will pros
per, larger built one will not succeed
The want of appropriate food will affect
the CESSATION of the mare, and later, the
foal will not have adequate supply of
milk to secure the basis of its size and
marketable bulk. The advocates of
pure Percherons urge the rejection of all
English, as we'll as Arab blood; excellent
for saddle horses, but unsuitable for ami.
mails destined for omnibuses, spring vans
or cavalry. Practice selection among the
best type of Percherons, to keep up the
excellency of that race, but do not cross
it with foreign blood. If you want vigor
and vivacity, rely on oats.
Attention is also being given to rear
horses free from curbs, those hard tu.
mors on the ariculations, the hooks, the
knees, etc. If these excrescences be due
to an accident, fall, or over-exercise,
the matter is of secondary Importance;
if otherwise, they indicate Emphatic
and feeble constitution, and the mare so
affected, should be avoided. So ought
too large or too small, or malformed
hoofs. While on this subject, French
breeders seem to ignore the importance
of rearing for themselves good breeding
mares. When they have an attractive
filly they are certain to part with it if
offered at a tempting price. By attending
to this point the farmer can impart fixity
of qualities to the offspring, Replace a
good mare always by one of her own
good daughters.
A breeding mare should not necessa
rily be fat, neither ought she to be in bad
condition. If covered when in the lat
ter state, the CESSATION stage will GER
tainly be affected. 1t is not so much the
quantity of food that requires attention,
as the assurance that it is suitable,
Abundance of inferior fodder presents
no great advantages. 1t would be pru.
dent also, particularly in the case Of
brocd.mares, to see that the water sup.
piled to them is good. Ponis of the
cess.pool category should be avoided; as
