CONDENSED from the Farmers Re-
view stenographic report OF the Michi-
gan dairymen's moetingJ
Professor G. ID. Smith opened the dis
cusslon on the COW. lie spoke first ON
the selection OF the COW. Where we
used TO select a COW ON the total amount
OF milk she would give we now pay
more attention to the relative amount
of butter she viii make, She Is good
COW II her percentage Of butter fat Is
large, provided she gives a fair amount
OF milk. The chief attention OF tho
experiment station during the past two
years has been toward this point IL
Il true that the cows that have the
typical dairy form make butter most
prontnbly? Is II true that the Internal
capacity OF COW Is made manifest
by exterior signs2 | am ready TO ns-
sert that such is the ease. Our best
cows at the station conform most close
~ to the best dairy type. However rev
OF us have time to become good judges
of external signs OF Internal Qunlity, so
that most OF MS must buy our cows
Judging them By the weight OF mix
ana by the test for butter fat.
Q.-Can we Judge by the young anl-
NAL what kind OF a COW she Will make
In the future2
A.-When picked out my wife, !
did not do II when she was a little
girl. but when she had grown up. And
the same theory holds good in picking
out a COW; you must wait Till she II
mature before you can tell definitely
what kind OF a COW she will be. We
cannot predict with any certainty what
a heifer will make. There are certain
signs. of course, signs that tell whether
she has the beef type or the dairy type
but you can not depend on the details
that may develop.
The next point was the stahllng and
feeding OF the COW. A member said
II seems TO me that with land at s4'
per acre we cannot afford to pasture
cows at the rate OF one COW for every
four acres OF land, We had better iced
partly on the solling plan.

We have found the Bun Leghorns very
good layers. and last year we had
cockercls that dressed two pounds NJ
eleven weeks old. Having seen the
experiences OF many. In their success
and failures In crossing. we tried two
crosses last year, The first was n
Buff Leghorn cock on Golden Wyan-
dotto hens. The chicks matured
early. aud the pullets are excellent lay
era The second was hun Leghorn
cock and Light Brahma hens. The re-
suit was not 30 favorable AS In the first
case. The chicks matured very slowly.
and. while the full bloods and the
chicks OF the first cross had plump and
very mealy breasts. these latter were
all skin and bones. l am inclined TO
think that II pays best TO breed from
standard breeds OF some kind, and for
me. none are so satisfactory as the Bun
Leghorn.

MFR. Nearly every COW stable
