The environment of cattle has much
to do with their development and thrift.
and In this position we have still a good
deal to learn. Doctor Miles in his work
on stock breeding instances the Kerry
cattle OF Ireland, which, In that coun-
try, having been kept ON scanty ra-
lions, do not breed till they are five or
six years old, and in every way are ex-
ceedlngly slow in maturing. Some Of
these Kerry cattle that were imported

In a few generations bred readily at
three years old The period for ma
turing was shortened nearly, or quite,
one-half. The early maturity of the
Shorthorn and Hereford is the result Of
continued environment suited to that
end for many generations:

many of them have got in the habit Of
putting the two facts together and

are for change very fond of newly

and not very nutritious, 1t cannot do
other than decrease the milk yield. The
part of the stack that the cows will go
for Is that under the carrier, and con.

than the straw nearer the root, be-

nearest the grain, and that is last to

One Of the largest retail dry goods

the ACCESSIBILITY of starting a school Of

these department stores much before
