The Points OF q Good Butter Cow

good butter cow should have long
face, wide between the eyes, the eye alert
and expressive, and placed long way be-
low the horns. COW with eyes near the
top Of the head does not know any more
than a man with eyes so placed. She
should have large muzzle, Il slim neck
and a yellow skin, especially inside the
ears the breathing should be regular, the
back and abdomen strong, the udder wide
where II connects with the body. the
teats squarey placed, and the tail slim.
Over and above all these points, she must
have the dairy form. The points at best
are only indications. The dairy form is
inscparably connected with a good butter
COW. The desirable dairy form ~ always
seen in the best types Of Jerseys. Guern-
seys, Aryshires and IlolStens. The best
beef form is presented in the Shorthorns,
licrefOrdS and most Of the poled breeds
The Intelligent dairyman, with knowl-
ndge born of experience, desire and ca
pacity for the business, never makes the
mistake Of choosing his COW with beef
form.
While 1t is not difficult to select COW
that will make ten pounds of butter a
week, provided always such COW is within
the drove or herd he is inspecting, cows
that will make fourteen pounds OF butter
a week are not to be found In the droves
that are driven about for sale. Such
cows are seldom for sale except at breed
ers' prices. A novice might by chance
select II cow that was making ten pounds
Of butter a week under the right treat
115nt, Jct If he kept mel IN COLI. stable
and gave her ewater to drink and fed
her on timothy hay aud corn meal, all of
which are lacking in protein, the COW
would soon run down to three-and one
half pounds week and stay there, or
make less and less. Another man who
knew his business might have selected the
same COW aud kept her In warm stable.
given warm water, warm ensilage madr
from sweet corn well matured, two or
three pounds Of clover hay and plentiful
supply of wheat bran or middlinss,
ground oats and peas, or little oil meal
or any other food containing protein In
liberal proportion, and the COW would
probably have increased to twelve pounds
week If her limit permitted. -1mcrican

Curing Hay.

Many fine theories have been studied
up and written out on this subject, but
most of them depend for their main
value on the supposition that the weather
is just right and Is going to remain so,
and in the face of all theories and finely
arranged systems the old injunction, -
Make hay while the sun shines, is very
generally observed, and the uncertainty
of the weather and the rapidity with
which partially dried hay is damaged by
rain render this course the most reason
able and satisfactory. But IN the curing
of clover special care Is needed as Il
large part of the value is In the leaves
and heads, and these break of very easily
when dry and are wasted by careless and
repeated handling. This loss Is too
great to be overlooked, and a man who
has much clover to handle should con
slider it his duty to his stock. and through
them to his pocket, to provide himself
with hay-caps and put the clover in piles
while it Is hot and before it is dry enough
to crumble and let 1t remain there pro-
tected from the dampness till it is dry
enough to put in the barn. Clover, after
1t Is II little more than wilted, will not
pack together snugly enough to mold in
any common storm, and if the top of the
pile is covered the damage around the
sides will be much less than would result
from pitching it over in the sun as other
hay is handled.

Ysrba of Paraguay.

or all the productions of Paraguay
the most important and peculiar is
the yerba or Hex Paraguayensis. II is
described in n report from the United
States consul ut ASunciOn, Ncrha
is derived from the twigs and leaves
of an evergreen tree which is scattered
through the wild forests of the cen.
trial Cordillcra. The districts where
il is most abundant are called yerhalcs,
At present il is not a cultivated prod.
uct. In former times the Josuils,
recognizing thc advantages Of having
the yCrLI cluSo ri hand, made large
plantations i'm the south, a grove Of
theirs near Santiago at the end Of
the last century containing not
less than 10000 trees. The trees Of
the northern ycrbalcs yield a finer
tea than those OF the south; bat the
best OF these, on account of their re-
mutcnc5s, are not worked. Fora time
the ygr2ales were a government mon.
opoly, and yielded a large part Of the
government revenues.
In 1861, the year Of the greatest
prosperity before the war, the export
Of the article amounted 10 co per cent.
Of tho total exports. In 1850 the
southern ycrbalcs were granted 10 4
private firm for ten years on favorable
terms, and in 1856 nearly all of the
government ycrbalcs were sold by
public auction. lcrha itself is the
name applied To lhcdry and powdered
leaf Of the Hex Paraguaycnsis, q tree
which in size and character bears a
close resemblance 10 the orange tree.
The shrub, which belongs To the holly
family, grows to the height of fifteen
feet, and is indigenous. 1t grows
wild, not only in Paraguay, but in
parts of Brazil and the Argentine Re.
public. Il has oveatc lanccolate
leaves, four or live inches long, with
margins uncqually scrTated.
The white flowers grow in umbclatcd
clusters, with a berry the size Of "a pep
per grain and containing four seeds.
1t contains about half of ] per cent
Of caffeine and 20.SS Of catlcotaunic
acid. II contains an aromatic oil,
glutcuand "A portion of theme. IL has
not the dClicacyoft flavor and has more
bitterness and astringeucy than China
tea. The Paraguaym ycrba is con-
Sidered superior 10 that grown else.
where; it is cheaper than coffee or
tea. Il can be prepared from the leaf
in thirty-siN hours. Efforts to intro.
ducc it into Europe have failed, but it
is used by $1,000, coo in Brazil, the
River Plata, Peru aud Bolivia. The
export from Paraguay is worth about
$500, coo per MISUNDERSTANDING.
