another good market. Less than IL, 600 head

hold them there Almost anything in the
shape of a steer was salable at better than

A5005.5O being the popular prices. Choice
qualities were quoted at S. 65Gf5. IS and extra

slight TO make necessary a change in quo

very active demand either from packers or
shippers and some hogs were left in sell
ers' hands. Sales were at So. S5@4.40 for very
common light to prime heavy. Averages
of less than 200 pounds sold principally at
$G4.15, and from $415Gl4.30 bought the bulk

Judging Dairy Cows.

The man who judges a COW simply by the
percentage of butter fat contained in her
milk, is quite likely to do good cow Sc
rious injustice. Some of the most profita-
BILE cows give milk containing a very low
percentage of fat. In experiment now
under way at the Iowa Agricultural College
one cow gives per cent milk and another
less than 4 per cent milk, and yet these
cows are running very close together so
far as profit to the feeder is concerned. The
COW giving the low testing milk gives
enough more of it to make the total guam
tity of fat produced about equal to that
produced by the COW giving the per cent
milk. The only correct way to judge a
dairy COW is by the total amount of fat
yielded in year and the cost of the feed
required to produce it. The COW that gives
the greatest number of pounds of butter
fat in a year at the least cost per pound
is the most profitable COW for the farmer
who sells milk for butter-naking or makes
butter at honle.-Farm and Dairy.
