The manager of the herd should be
q fine Judge of the class of cattle to be
selected, for upon the selection and
purchase of the cows will depend the
future profit of the business, admit
ting that all other departments of the
industry are properly managed. Just
here comes in another question oil
taste which must be decided upon by
the dairyman. Oftentimes cows are
bought for the dairy with a view not
only for the extra flow of milk to be
obtained, but also the profit which
may be realized from their sale to the
butcher after the day of good milking
of the animal is passed. Acting upon
that idea, COWS of good milking breed,
having large frames, easily kept in or
der, and which will rapidly take on
flesh when not milking, are the ones
to be selected. Their calves or larger
and worth more for veal. In this way
the dairying and beef business may
to q certain extent be proftably COM
bined. On the other hand many dairy.
men prefer cows for dairying purposes
alone. There are several pure breeds
of this type, and many graded up by
,rossing registered stock on common
cattle. The latter are more generally
used in our section of the country,
from the fact that the investment fol-
q start is less, and the profit on their
product, MS proportionately satisfac.
tory. Again, there are breeds of cat.
tie noted for their superior flow OF
milk, while others produce a smaller
quantity, but richer cream. The lat
ter are the butter and cheese makers.
The dairyman who intends to supply
his customers direct with the milk
from his dairy, is only interested in
that breed of cattle from which he
can obtain the largest number of gal
Ions of milk daily, while the man who
is interested in the sale of the cream,
butter or cheese as aproduct from his
dairy. must select a breed showing
superior merit in that line.
Some cows are more active in their
habits, doing well on pasturage, while
others give better returns from close
confinement aud high feeding, Some
breeds give a large flow of milk for
only a short season, others produce
an ever steady flow of milk during a
long period of time. So that we find
quite a variety of distinct ~characteris-
tics among the various breeds of the
animals which go TO make up the dairy
herd.-Atlanta Journal.

No close observer of developments
having an economic bearing has failed
to notice the extent to which railways
have displaced canals as agencies in
transportation, a result to which the
phenomenal lowering of railway rates
in recent times has powerfully con
tributed. Indeed, in the opinion Of
Bradstreet's, the tendency toward the
supersession by railways of all but tho
most ~favorably situated interior water
routes can only be met by radical i'm
provements OF the waterways.
