THE DAIRY COW.
Some Points That Should Be Observed
in Breeding.


Some Points That Should Be Observed
in Breeding.
Suppose we want to produce a dairy
cow. Let Us start in By taking native
cattle and putting pure bred sire at
the head; take an Ayrshire or Hol-
ein-FrieSian. The Short-Horns to-day
in the West are not valuable for the
dairy. We have some very fine mich
COWS among them, but let me ask you
where you will go in the West for a
Short Horn bull that will throw strong
" and p-epotently on the side of the
dairy. In England you can find them.
and in the East you can find them. On
the Wadsworth estate in the Genesee
valley Is herd of Short-Horns, started
over fifty years ago, and they have been
bred for milk until to-day the males
are potent in that line. They are not
so profitable as beef animals as those
bred specially for beef As the beef
potency increases the milk potency de-
creases.
You want 10 raise the best kind of a
dairy herd. This is what I would do:
would go among the farmers and
select the best native cows I could get.
would want them to be of the dairy
form, every one of them. If two cows
Of equal merit were brought TO NE. and
one should give even more milk than
the other and yet was OF beefy form.
would not breed to her, because a
cow breeds very largely from her blood
and not from her udder. Many a beefy
cow has been Z famous cow. but she
would not breed that way. Mr.. Good
rich had a celebrated Short-Horn grade
COW. and she had three heifer calves
but none Of them were worth any
thing for the dairy. A good many
farmers have the idea that good COW
individually will surely breed that
way. She will not always. Many a
beef COW gives plenty OF milk, but has
not a dairy tendency in her. Take a
cow with a breeding tendency toward
dairy work. Then l would couple her
with a pure-bre bull Then l would
take her heifer. if it was a good one
and of strong constitution. and breed
that heifer TO her own father. l would
determine the constitution a good deal
by makeup and development OF the
navel. which l think is the finest test
in the world OF constitution-the
strong, muscular condition Of the
navel BY breeding that heller to her
own father l would get three-quarter
in bred. say Jersey, or Guernsey, or
Ayrshire. or Holstein-Friesian. That
is as far as | would go with inbred
ing. Then l would have so enhanced
the sire's breed in that heifer by that
one in-cross as TO make her almost as
potent for the reproduction OF that
breed as though she were pure-bred.
These are some OF the principles that I
would use By this process 1 have seen
herds where the grandmother was a
one hundred and twenty-five pound
cow brought up so that the daughters
and grand-daught tiers made three hun
dred and Seventy-fve pounds of butter.
The difference in feed was not SO much,
but the difference in breed was very
great--Breeder's Gazette.

Coffee county has been the scene of sew

the working of which for turpentine
employs large numbers of both white

and there is much race prejudice,
which frequently leads to conflicts.
Douglass, the county seat, is small
village of the most primitive sort. The
population of the county is only a few
thousand, but very few of whom are
whites.
AT midnight word was received from
Waycrcss that the rioters were led by
white man named l.. b. Warner, who
operates turpentine still. He had
dispute about some land with Thomas
Seers. While attempting possession
Seers shot one of the negroes dead, and
later with a gang Of men attacked
Warmers hands. The negroes then re-
solved ON retaliation and shot three of
them fatally. B. E. McLenden, Frank
Seers, Thomas Seers and seriously
wounded companion named Hen
bricks The negroes were described by
the messenger who brought the news to
Waycross as being furious.
