Points ON Breeding.

A man should breed with some def
ideal in his mind, and constantly work
toward it. Having grade Jersey now,
in what respect is a change desired?
The Guernseys and Jerseys are very
similar in most important particulars.
Neither breed is noted for giving extra
large amounts of milk, but rather for
yielding milk Of exceptional quail
ity So far as breed is concerned,
we see nothing to be gained by chang
ing from Jersey to Guernsey; but there
may be wide margin for choice as be-
tween individuals. Rather than breed
these grade Jerseys to an Indifferent
and unsatisfactory Jersey bull, we
fered, of better form and pedigree. For
the same reason, we would not accept
an inferior Guernsey, when a better
Jersey could be had.
There have been some excellent cows
of the Guernsey Jersey cross, but this
was not because of the cross breeding,
but because dam and sire were superior
animals. Some people affect to think
there is some hidden power Or virtue in
cross-breeding, and they are continu-
ally following after some will O. the
wisp, phantasm or charm, in the de-
lusive effort to get something for
nothing. Cross-breeding is all right
provided it is entered upon with a clear
understanding of its limitations and
purposes, but one must not expect to
raise profitable COWS from sires that
have only name to recommend them.
There are a great many scrubs"
amonk the full-blooded animals in all
breeds.-Hoard's Dairyman.

Dorset Sheen.

One of the important advantages Of
the Dorset sheep is it's prolifcacy. The
ewes quite generally farrow two lambs
and have been known to drop triplets
and raise them all. They are a very
hardy sheep, well able to defend them
selves, and even marauding dogs, who
have regarded the sheep as their nat
ural and easy prey, have often been
obliged to desist when they find them
selves confronted with the formidable
horns with which both the bucks and
ewes Of this breed are armed. In To-
calities where predatory dogs are the
shepherds scourge, the horned Dor
sets are the sheep that will be most
sure to give satisfaction.

Golden Wax Beans.

The golden wax bean is very popular
as snap bean, though to our taste it
has less of the characteristic bean
flavor than have the snap beans that
are green rather than golden in color.
Their advantages as a snap bean con-
sists, we suspect, in being less stringy
than the more highly favored green
snap beans, and in keeping their ten
derness until nearly the time of ripen-
ing. But when dried and shelled, the
wax beans are really superior in quail
ity, next to Lima beans in tenderness.
The only objection to the bean is that
when cooked it is dark colored. But
this is really a small matter. 1t is,
however, rather difficult to shell the
wax bean. It's pod, even when ripened,
continues to be thick and does not dry
out readily. Hence it must usually be
shelled by hand.-American Cultivator

Step Ladders for Fruit Gathering.
Considering how easily step ladders
are made, and their small cost, it is sur
prising that they are not more used in
gathering fruit. The habit of climbing
all through the tree, bruising and in
juring its branches, is the direct cause
of the numerous sap shoots that start
out wherever branch on the trunk is
bruised. There was excuse in the
olden time for training fruit trees high,
so that cattle and horses when pastur-
ing the orchard should not reach up
and gather most of the fruit prema-
turely. But most Of the orchards late
~ are trained with heads so low that
a step ladder set under them, and one
somewhat higher set against the out
side of the tree, will enable the orchard
list to gather his fruit more easily and
safely than he could going through the
trees according to the old fashion.

cheap he could always look for prof
table butter yield from his dairy.
There is such a thing as feeding too
heavily with corn, thus fattening the
COW and decreasing her milk yield. No
good farmer is likely to make this mis-
take. There are very few herds Of
cows which cannot proftably be fed
much more grain than they now re-
ceiye. 1t is for this reason that we
urge all farmers to grow corn for home
feeding. 1t will be fed much more
freely If grown on the farm than if it
has to be purchased.
