accompanied by typical dairy form.
THIS cow has proved herself to be one
of the greatest dairy cows living, and al
the same time she captivates the eye by
her wonderful beauty of form. She
has the general wedge shape Of body.

and golden color, the clean-cut heac
and waxy horns, and, above all, perhaps,
a wonderful development OF udder-

Perfection of form will not guarar-
tee excellence at the pail AMI churr,
but the possession of it goes a long
way toward giving confidence that the

but this surely has been exceptional.
In buying dairy cows the wise course
is to consult the ancestry o: the ami

nails Lily Flag, which is here delin-

One has only to go about, even
through what are called our best dairy
districts, to note the great prevalence
Of cows with small, pincbed udders,
small, irregularly-placed teats, fiat
sides and light hindquarters. Some
herds seem hardly to be relieved by the
presence OF even one COW that carries
In her body the signs of excellence al

we find such herds averaging 200 to ESQ
pounds of butter year, with some Of
the cows probably not producing more

that. There are Thousands of cows In

netting the result in cream and butter.
Tfis would show at once the cows that

Those best qualified to Judge In such

FRESH DAIRY NOTES.

Timothy hay is poor milk producer.
The stables in which cows are kept
should be light.
Never feed while milking. 1t is bet
ter to feed just after milking.
The COW will not drink as much ice
cold water as she should drink.
Cows ought not be kept in tempera-
ture below so or above 60 degrees.
Winter dairying gives the farmer and
his help employment in dull season.
These feeds have tendency to loosen
the bowels: Alfalfa, sorghum hay, en-
silage, roots, bran and linseed meal.
The milch COW must have plenty Of
water and the reader knows that we
think It should be warmed in winter.
Succulent foods in winter have AZ
much value as medicine as they do a.
food. They keep the system healthy.

a gleam of shining swords, with the

full-throated cry, and the bay horse was
galloping towards us, followed by the
line Of swords, no longer shining, but
dulled and red with the slaughter they
had made.
The next moment the enemy were on
