IDEAL DAIRY COW.
She LIS Rony and Muscular and Has Strong
Nerve Force.

She LIS Rony and Muscular and Has Strong
Nerve Force.
Dairyman Gould in a recent lecture
gave this description of the "cow for
him.
THE ideal cow he said, sis not
large; she weighs about 1000 pounds;
she is something like a race horse, for
speed III the horse and milk in the COW
are allied. Beef in horse and beef in
a COW mean strength always. 1t is d
question of nerve power, and that is
something food will not produce, only
maintain. For the typical dairy COW
you must have race horse type, bony
and muscular, whether she be Hol-
stein, a Jersey or whatever she may be-
You will find her with bony head and
strong jaw, long between the eyes and
nose, with broad muzzle. She should
have a very bright, protruding eye
1 want a COW 1 can hang my hat, on
her eyes Why? Simply on account
of her brain power. 1t means strong
nerve force, and that means action later
en-. I want a thin neck and retreating
brisket. The lines above and below
must not be straight, or she will steal
from you; want her slightly depressed
behind the shoulders, with sharp chin;
don't want too straight back bone.
one must nave large organs VI IC pr
duction-you don't want a cow with a
straight back; I want her wedge
shaped. I want two wedges, large in
rear ard large heart girth, L. e.. wide
between forward legs, sharp on should
err. This gives me large heart action
and the strong arterial circulation I
want. Then last, but by no means
least, she must have good udder, for
one-haif of the value of the cow is in
her udder. She should have long I'D
der from front to rear. Then she must
have a good handle on each corner of
her udder- And why? Because if
she gives two pals of milk day it is
.ausatfer of some labor to mill her
physiological process, and as such is
perfectly natural. When digestion is in
progress nature arranges that all avail
able blood in the body shall be called to-
ward the digestive organs This leaves
- blood supply of the brain at a low
xhouldad sleep is thus easily induced

sides with cement, and fix q sash with

length desired, using two or more

To Prevent Weevil i'm Beans.

add little bisuiphide of carbon nd

zine or gasoline is sometimes used for
the same purpose. No light or fire must
be brought near these substances,ast they
are very infiammable. This treatment
will not injure the beans, either for

be destroyed by heating the beans to

been done as soon as the beans were
gathered, before the insects had a

GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

Cultivation in the orchard is given to
keep out the weeds and make a loose
mulch.
A little trimming every year is far
better than heavy trimming once in
three or four years.
Walnuts, chestnuts, hickory nuts,
peach seeds and all this kind of seeds
should be planted before they get too
dry.
