A Good Cow.
Jersey Bulletin.

Many good judges of dairy cattle pass
upon the merits of the animal without
fully understanding why they have made
the selection. They recognize certain
general outlines as adopted to the pro-
duction of milk, and others to the laying
on of flesh. How few think that the
bony structure beneath this flesh and
covering is in itself the foundation not
only of the animal frame, but the base
upon which judgement is rendered. The
cow to produce milk is of finer organ
ism; the frame is remarkable for the
sharpness of its outline; the hony pro-
cesses are more prominent, thinner on
the edgss, loose in the Joints. Such
frame presents US with a COW having a
lean, bony head, jowls thin and wide
apart; broad between the eyes, the latter
bright, full and placid; horns small and
slender; neck long and tapering to the
head, set on high thin shoulders, sharp
at the top; fOre-quarters light and thin,
with slender, straight fore-leg and
broad knee; carcass deep, full about the
heart back straight, loosely jointed ribs,
broad, fiat and thin, sharp on edges;
wide over the hips and pelvis; strongly
muscled; headquarters broad, strong on
the outside, thighs fiat and thin giving
pace 10 capaclouS uuuer; noch DrOau,
tail long and slender, set on in line of
the back udder; the quarters evenly bal
anced, extending well forward, not too
lop, and we'll up behind, covered with
soft, elastic skin, not too thin, with hair
very short, soft and silky; teats wide and
long, OF medium size, yellowish color of
the skin, especially on the udder, inside
the ears and about the ewes: and lastly,
but not least, large, long and torturous
milk vein terminating in large opening
in the belly. Built upon this model we
have a COW presenting the much coveted
wedge form light forward, and increas-
ing as we pass rearward. If we stand in
front she grows broader towards the hips
and if we stand at her side she grows
heavier in her quarters. Such a COW will
secrete milk, but when giving milk can
not accumulate fat.

From rising until setting of the sun.

To bear good deeds had peen my sole en-

That It's above delays dangeroug slough
Is hung the Turing wisp light Of tomorrow;

I would be spared this unavailing sorrow
Had but known!
Had but known to dread the dreadful fire
That lag in ambush at my hearts desire,
Where from it sprang and smote my naked
hand,
And left mark forever to remain;
would not bear the fires ignoble brand.

Had but known we never can repeat
Lies springtime freshness or its summer

Nor gather second harvest from lfes field,
Nor aged winter to youthful spring;
To me LIES flowers their honey all would

An Eye to Business.
Boston Budget .

Scan any of you tell me why Gottfried
Muller is not at SCHOOL," said a teacher
to her scholars a few weeks ago. Up
went little hand like a jumping jack.
''WeIlj" was the interrogative response.
"Please, ma'am," answered little boy,
with rapidity that almost took away
his breath, ''his fathers dead and Uncle
Pete's got the job"
ut is not, perhaps, necessary to say
that the relative referred to was rising
young undertaken. That boy ought to
be successful as man. He has an eye
to business.

Melons were first called cantelopes
from being cultivated at Canteluppi,
villa hear Rome, where they had been in
troduced from Armenia by missionaries.
The name is said to be still in use in
some parts of Europe for class of
deeply ribbed, yellow-heshed melons. In
this country it is applied to different To-
calities, and the significance of the word
can not be well defined as now used.

TO DRIVE AWAY ANTS.

The tidy red ants which are such nui-
sance in many pantries, may be easily
driven away if kerosene is freely used.
Those who have been troubled with them
know that they always come in lines, COM
ing through some crevice in the wall or
floor, and following one after the other
in regular order until they reach the shelf
above. If kerosene is turned the entire
length of the line, also on the placesswhere
they come in, the floor, etc., they will soon
depart You may need to repeat this
few times, but it is an easy and effectual
method of getting rid of them. Leave
the door and windows open awhile, and
the scent of kerosene will soon be gone.
