THE PROFITABLE COW.
She Must Carry . Large, Fineiys Shaped Udder and He of n Mod-
 crate Tempe rament.

The most profitable COW is that one which will produce the maximum amount of milk, containing the maxi mum amount of fat, from the cheapest feed. This kind of COW is found in all our dairy breeds of cattle, and occasion- ally among the beef breeds. Whatever her breed, we will find that she con forms to definite, clearly fixed type recognized as the dairy type, although not infrequently there are found marked exceptions. As rule, such a COW is large, that is, large for the breed she represents. As rule, too, such a COW yields rather large amount of milk, with fat content of between four and five per cent. Such COW will always carry a large, we'll developed, finely-shaped udder, and usually be of a moderate temperament. The man who is making a success in dairying is the one who recognizes the value of such a COW and if he replenishes his herd by buying he tries to buy as near ly such a COW as possible. If he is a breeder he tries to breed cattle of her type rather than be carried away by any fancy whim that may arise.-Nationa. Stoekman.

When the forkful will clear the edge of the now, rope b is slacked as required, either to drop the forkfu) at the front, the middle or the rear of the now. The rope a, after passing over the pulley above the now, is car. ried down as directly as possible to the horse, which draws it out. The direc- ton may, of course, have to be changed by pulley in the barn below. The cut is given as suggestion, to be modified as circumstances demand.--Farm and Home
