A Scrub Cow.
S. Henry in the American Agricultural.

S. Henry in the American Agricultural.
1t may be always said that the
scrub COW Is such by reason of Its
scrub owner. The COW always
does as it is done by. In my
neighborhood the scrub COW reigns
supreme. 1t is born and reared q
scrub and is fed on scrub; that is,
on browse summer and winter,
and never learns the smell of hay
or the taste ofmeal. Consequently
II Is bred to a scrub bull and rears
a scrub calf, and gives a gallon of
milk day at the best, for two OF
three months after which pint tin
cup holds all the milk. The poor
calf gets halt the milk for month,
when it is turned into the woods,
and when a year old is perhaps a
little smaller than it was eleven
months before. Possibly, as
scrubs, the common of my present
locality can scarcely be beaten.
But as a proof of my statement on
the first line l give this record of
a scrub COW which | have had FIVE
yearsand which 1 have regenerated
in that time into very fair mixer.
At first, at three years old, she
gave me, three months after cal
wing and on the best feeding, six
quarts of milk per day. By good
feeding on clover pasture, clover
hay and corn meal, as much as
they can use proftably, she has
come up in the FIVE years to her
sixth calf, and her udder has
gradually increased In size until it
is now torty-two inches around at
its upper part, and with her fifth
heifer calf. All of which | have
reared, her yield is eighteen quarts
of milk daily, from which is made
eleven pounds of butter in week.
One scrub heifer with her first calf,
and two years old, is milking four
teen quarts day.

Speaker of the House. These are
the only two papers in the State
that we have seen that oppose him.
The Post gives as its reason that
Mr.. Mills is not noted for his
placed temper. Congress is an as,
semblage that could scarcely be
ruled by love, and if Mr.. Mills can
inspire it into good behavior
through fear, he is the man for the
place.
