Selecting HeIfeTs.

Raising heifers sounds we'll in
theory, but breeding cattle is a
separate art from dairying, and un.
less followed with great judgment
is a losing business, as not every
heifer raised becomes o frst.class
mich COW. The best plan is to
buy heifers heavy with their first
calves-called "springers = and in
this there is much more room for
Judgment and skill in making these
selections than most men are will.
ing to admit. The mistake usually
made is, in being misled by fancy
for certain shapes, colOrs and
fashionable points, to the neglect
of others relating Immediately to
the usefulness of the matured COW.
The first point to consider is,
that the heifer is strong, with a
deep flank, indicating constitutional
vigor; then see that her teats are
large and set wide apart. Viewed
from behind the twist should be
open and wide, with her rudimen-
tary udder well displayed and
teats far apart. AS secondary and
fancy points, q slim neck, and
long head with small horns are
good features. Above all things,
avoid those heifers that show very
small rudimentary teats, or those
with large ones set close together.
Such a heifer never can make a
first.class COW. There are enough
risks to run before securing a good
one, without starting out with those
that never can improve. Even the
best of pedigrees cannot make
good COW out of heifer with a de-
formed udder. Those who have
studied Guenon's method, while
they do not rely upon it to the ex-
clusion of other points, find it
great aid, and feel that they can
not ignore the escutcheOn. -Ameri-

IN AGNOSTIC REJECTED AS A WITNESS

Knoxville (Tenn.) Journal.
In the circuit court, Monday,
Judge Logan, presiding, an incl
dent occurred of more than usual
interest. A case involving a small
amount, ian appeal from a JUSTICE,
in which Mr., Harvey, a well.known
operator in marble IN this county,
was a defendant, was on trial.
When Mr.. Harvey was called to
the witness stand Mr.. Green, of
counsel for the plaintiff, asked to
put him on his voir dire, when the
following substantially occurred;
Counsel-Mr. Harvey, DO you be-
lieve in the existence Of a God
Witness Evidently surprised,
and thinking a moment Il do not
believe in God, but | do believe in
God the power that controls the
universe.
Counsel-Do you believe in fu-
tire state of rewards and punish.
ments?
Witness-I believe that every
human being suffers III this life for
every violation of natural and moral
laws. Not accepting the Bible as
a divine revelation, ! know nothing
about the future. / do not know
whence | came or whittier | am
going. Therefore, ! cannot say that
have any belief as to my future
state.
Counsel-DO yOu believe in a con-
science I
Witness-Most certainly l do
! believe that every sane man has
an innate sense OF right ana wrong
to guide his conduct.
The Court-Mr. Harvey, do you
believe in the binding obligation of
an oath in a court of justic requir'
ing a witness to tell the truth ?
Witness do.
The court, after some delibera-
ton, held that the witness was not
competent to testify, and he was
directed to stand aside. Exception
was taken by Capt. Kain, counsel
for defendant, and an appeal taken
to the supreme court We under.
stand there are several old decls-
ions regarding the competency OF
"atheists,7 "infidels," and "iree.
thinkers" as witnesses, but that we
have no supreme court decision Gov
ering precisely the state of facts
presented in this case.

To Much for Him.

An old farmer from away up in
the black mountains was standing
on BlOndelTs corner, watching the
Telephone men placing pole. His
face was a study. When the
climber began to walk up the tall
pole, the surprised look upon the
old gentleman's face deepened to
dumbfOundedness, and as he walk
ed away we heard him mutter ::
"Well, sumone tole me many bad
things would happen eff the DENY

born with claws on their feet, who

Canaries are often famished for
fresh, cool water. You will see
bits of sugar, and sponge-cake, and
cracker, and apple, tucked all
about the wires, while the drinking
cup will be empty, or filed with
green water and "trash," which no
bird can touch. If the abused pet
could speak, he would say that he
would like a little less of grocery
store about him, and good, square
drink of clean water now and then.
A sufficiently large bath dish is
very necessary, giving room for the
little wings to spread themselves.
How would we human birds enjoy

enough, and water enough, for a
thorough, good bath.
A canary is not an epicure. lie
doesn't care for a dinner of eleven
courses. All he wants is clean,,
fresh seeds, and some cuttle-fish
bone, with, in winter, a bit of APP
pie or crisp cabbage, and IN sum-
mer a relish of lettuce or chickweed.
Mother birds, of course, need a
little hard boiled egg and soaked
cracker every day, to help on the
business of baby feeding, and
young birds shonld have soaked
bread or cracker, and their seeds
crushed, until their little bills be-
come strong enough to do their
own cracking. All other canaries
are healthier and happier for a pure
seed and fresh water diet, with the
aforeme ntioned relish of fruit or
lettuce. Clean sand should be
spread on the floor Of the cage
every day. Birds are social in their
tastes, and they like to be talked
to and visited with, and with little
trouble they will soon learn to re-
spond to their names, and to do
many cunning tricks.
