that Is salable, no matter what be it's
sex. There are COWS of the beef breeds
that are quite good enough for the
dairy purposes of the farmer, whose
calves, if heifers, can be reared for
dairy purposes, if males, a be reared
to bring good profits on their entire
cost if sold as feeders or fattened on
the farm for the market. These are
the COVE which the Journal recon-
mends to the farmer.
Prof. Shaw argues that special de-
velopment into "a contracted chest,
deficient vital organs, a frail creature
which wears out under the strain of
excessive nervous development. The
dual purpose COW is the happy mean in
which the organs Of the system har

harmony which conduces to long con-
tinued performance and longevity.
From her we look for the productive,
ness that endures."
Not that the purebred dairy animal
has no place. There are markets in
which dairy products are more profit
able than all the products of the dual
purpose animal. These are enough in
number and in the volume of demand
to make the requirements for special
dairy breeds very considerable. And
FOR the suburban families and city fam.

their dwellings the small and graceful

dairy breeds to justify their continu.
aGce, but the place for them is not on
the general farm.

The hands and feet of the victim were

PROF. EMERY'S WEEKLY LIT.

WHAT COW SHALL THE FARMER KEEP
Recently one correspondent has
called for something to be written in
these columns on the merits OF the (ais
t~37orite) Guernsey COW. We look for
her friends to respond, as we'll as for
tie friends of the more widely known
Jersey to let her good qualities be
Known to our readers.
THg week we give space to an article
II the Texas Stock and Farm Journal,
which INES near a large class of our
North Carolina farmers.
There is a chance from such stock to
make butter or cheese and in districts
,aE from railroads the cheese making
industry should be far greater than it
.si 10 this State. From these places it
is we'll to have young beef cattle which
are able to walk off to market too.
Fr5ights are thus saved.
The cali Of Prot. Connell to organize
The dairy interests, which is also clipped
tron the same paper, is good reminder
20 our own farmers that they are not
assisting in the up, building of dairy
interests as should generally obtain.
To hold a membership in the State
Dairy mems Association costs but one
dollar per year, and it is confidently
BELIEVED that the reports can be worth
many times the cost to every farmer
who will accept and read it.
This membership and report together
with The PROGRESSIVE FARMER and
Experiment Station bulletins, will give
much in a year on the subject of dairy
ing and the allied farm interests which
should be worth reading, saving and
acting upon.
There is no business needing combi
nation of effort more than farming
and no part of farming in which there
can be more gained by hearty com
5ination than in dairying. But les
attention seems to be given to CO opera
tive farming and dairying than obtain
IN any other occupation with which W,
are familiar. Farmers must chang
this state of things to improve thei
prospects very much.

THE DAIRY cow FOR THE
FARMER.

Most Of the writer's on dairy animals
are dairy specialists and advocate the
use, for dairy purposes, of COWS Of the
dairy breeds exclusively. Among these
writer's are advocates of all the dairy
families, Jersey, Guernsey, Holstein,
Ayrshire, etc, but one and all, with
scarcely a single exception, deny the
usefulness Of what is generally called
Tue dual purpose COWS in the dairy de
2artment Of farm work. As put by
Stot. Shaw in a recent address to the
minnesota Dairymen's Association, IN
which he alleged the superior useful,
UesS OF the dual purpose COW, the argu,
nent Of those advocating the dairy
breeds was, that the special purpose
COW can do more in her particular line,
Auo that the highest results will be
reached when the energies of the COW
are concentrated; that this is an age OF
Speclaltiea, and the dairyman who con-
unes himself to the special products OF
'Ie dairy will be the most successful.

CARE OF MILK AND MILK UTRN.
SILS.

ALI dairy utensils should be made of
tin. It is a good plan to have the milk
pans and pals made to order. Use the
best tin and have all the joints made
round. After use they should first be
washed in cold water and soap and
then scalded, using plenty of hot water,
wiped perfectly dry and placed where
the sunshine will get into them. 1t is
a great mistake to pour hot water into
milk pans and pals, for it will coagu-
late the milk in the seams and corners
and if by accident the curd is not all
washed out it will sour and affect the
next milk put in. Borax is a great
purifier. If q little is added to the hot
water that the utensils are rinsed in, it
will cleanse and purify them. Use
enough to make the water feel slightly
slippery. Dairy utensils should never
be used for other articles of food.
To clean tinware, dampen q soften
cloth and dip it in common baking soda
and rub the ware briskIy, and then
wipe dry. Milk is q ready absorber OF
gases. Care should be taken not to
have it stand in a place which is damp
or musty or in a cellar where there are
decaying vegetables or near onions,
fish or other odorous substances. Finely
powdered charcoal, which is an alb
sorber of gases. should be kept con.
tinually in a milk room, especially in
hot weather, when unWholesome gases
are most liable to effect the milk.-M,

have such opportunities and advan

quantities of these supplies. But few,
II any, OF u diaries are operated upon
modern principles, and the benefits of
natural advantages are lost through
carelessness and indifference. Our
