show the great, deep bodies and the
splendid development of udder that
characterize the big mixers. A cows
body is a butter and milk factory.
You cannot expect to make much but
ter and milk in a small factory. The
''wedge-shaped" COW has deep body
where depth is needed where the ma
chinery of the body is at work con-
verting fodder into dairy products.
The COW that has little depth from her
back down to a point beneath her
just in front of the udder has never
shown up, so far as my observation
has gone, as heavy mixer. I like
also to see an udder like those in the
cuts. They stamp the COW at once as
a producer of large quantities of milk,
and these udders may well be taken
as model examples, not only in re
gard to size, but as to shape as well.
Notice the fullness in the fore part
of the udder and how well it runs up
behind, with the large, well-placed
teats and its general appearance of
large capacity. Such an udder, when
MIXED out dry, will fall in loose, soft
folds, like an empty bag. 1t is good
type to breed ton. Y. Tribune.

HORSES AND ROADS.
Ovners of Hish-Bred Animals ADJ
vance a Theory That Appears
just Little Selfish.

What is called new view of the
good roads question appears in a
recent number of the Horse World, in
the form of statement from DIR. H. II.
Kane, president of the Drivers and
Riders League of New York. In sup
port of his belief that there should be
modification of the terms demanded
by the present agitators for good roads,
DR.. Kane says among other things
that farmers and haulers of heavy
loads OF merchandise on our roads do
not own 25 per cent. Of the horses in
the United States. Hence, the argu-
ment in favor of stone roads for their
benefit should not have so much
weight; that even if we admit that
stone roads are an excellent thing for
the farmer, they are Il positive source
of injury and disease to the horses of
others: that in districts where stone
roads prevail shoeing must be done one
third oftener than in the case of horses
used on dirt roads.
The doctor mentions that the good
roads movement was started by the L.
A. W., and that they cannot be blamed
for looking after their own interests,
but that it is not fair to favor one
class and work positive injury to horse
owners when there is a feasible plan
for so constructing roads as to equally
benefit all drivers, equestrians, automo-
bilists farmers and bicyclists. DR..
Kane's plan is to have one road (the
main artery of traffic to and from the
principal market) built of stone for the
farmers and those who do heavy truck
ing, and having this road and all others
where there is much traffic so built
that the center is of stone, q space of
six or eight feet wide on each side
made into good dirt road with or with
out cycle path, as the L. A. w. may
deem advisable.
DR.. Kane's argument does not rep
resent new view of the road question
so much as a reiteration of the old
plan of owners of high-bred horses,
who have long held that hard roads
worked havoc with the delicate and
shapely limbs of their costly pets.
There is doubtless some truth in this,
but the great majority of the public
who are interested in having good
roads for many other practical pur-
poses than as speedway for choice
stock, will wonder how such horses
can be kept in the city without the in
furious results attributed to hard coun-
try roads. Even though DR.. Kane ex-
plains that he favors the best kind of
dirt road, it is not probable that his
plan of a road with a stone center and
dirt sides could be made serviceable.
In the first place, not all country roads
are wide enough to permit of
satisfactory trial of the double plan,
and it is not likely that those who use
such a road would equaliZe the traffic
so as to prevent it from becoming very
uneven. a good dirt road with
basis of stone is all right in certain dis
tricts, but for sections where there is
considerable traffic it is doubtful if the
macadam road, with frequent coverings
of sand, can be improved upon.

CAPACITY IN cows.
No Buyer Can Afford to Slight
or Overlook.

When a farmer is about to buy a
mower, reaper or cultivator, he
looks carefully about him to find a
machine that is best fitted in shape,
size and mechanism to do the work
required. When it comes to buying or
raising a dairy cow too many neglect
to consider whether the cow, from her
general appearance, seems to be fitted
to do good work in the dairy or not.
Now, it is to be admitted that you
cannot tell certainly whether cow

COURT MOURNING.
Period OF Grief In Various Conn
tries Depends Entirely on
Rank of Deceased.

Now that so many countries are
plunged into grief over the loss of King
Humbert of Italy and the duke of
Saxe-Coburg, mourning such as pre-
scribed by the court is being worn.
In England it is customary to mourn
for our king or queen three months;
for a son or daughter of our sovereign,
such as is the case now for the duke of
Saxe-Coburg, it is to be six weeks;
for brother or a sister of a sovereign,
only three weeks; for an uncle, aunt,
nephew or niece, the court goes into
mourning for two weeks; while from
three to ten days is usual for cousin,
according to the relationship. The
royal regulation for the first period is

TEETH AGE MARKS.
Rules Adopted for the Guidance of
Live Stock Judges in England
and Ireland.

Nowadays, when early maturity is
being so much cultivated in the case
of all breeds of stock, the dentition
of farm animals shows much more
variation than was usual in the old
days, when animals were not forced
to a finish at anything like the high
rate of pressure which has of late
wears been INDUCED in. One of the
consequences of this high-pressure-sy
tenn of feeding has been that the lead
ing English show-promoting bodies,
such as the SmithfieId club, the Royal
and other agricultural societies, have
found it necessary to lay down special
rules for the determination of the
ages of such animals as are exhibited
at their shows. The Royal Dublin so
ciety, in common with the other lead
ing agricultural bodies, has found it
necessary to adopt certain regula tions
in this direction. The rules for cattle
follow:
Cattle having their central perma-
nent incisors cut. will be considered as
exceeding one year and six months.
Cattle having their central perma-
nent incisors fully up viii be consid-
cred as exceeding one year and nine
months.
Cattle having their second pair of
permanent incisors fully up viii be con-
sidered as exceeding two years and
three months.
Cattle having their third pair of in
cisors cut Will be considered as ex-
ceeding two years and eight months.
Cattle having their fourth pair (cor-
ner) permanent incisors fully up, and
their anterior molars showing signs
of wear, viii be considered as exceed
ing three years.

CoNvICTs AND ROADS.
Contains a Valuable Lesson for
County Officials.

The agitation of the League of
American Wheelmen to have convicts
used in building public roads is slowly
New York Post recently contained the
following:
"The League for Good Roads in
Oneida county reports favorably on
the experiment of employing convicts
on roadmaking. Under the direction
of the board of supervisors and the
superintendent of a trained engineer
the county prisoners have constructed
a macadam road 1 $40 miles long
through the village of New York
Mills, near Utica. The county author
tiles made a contract with the road
district whereby it was to furnish la
borers at 25 cents a day and allow
the use of its stone crusher, steam
roller, etc, free of charge. The road
district furnished the necessary fuel
and material and paid for supervision.
The cost of the road was about So, S75,
or 81, 500 mile, and the total cost
was only three times the amount of
the annual road tax. AS it will cost
only $3.50 a year to keep the new road
m repair, the annual saving will
amount to about 81, $50, and after the
cost has been repaid the taxpayers
will be relieved to this extent, or the
money can be devoted to other i'm
provements. While this road was
building the state authorities were
constructing similar one of equal
length which was to cost, at the con-

A UNION JOAN OF ARC.
Eineteen-Year-OId Schoolgirl Who
Enlisted in the Army of
the Cumberland.

Almost every regiment owes more to
the help of women than they can ever
hope to pay, and it was not always
or alone in the way of nursing, either
said a war veteran at the Chicago
reunion to Tribune man. There
were women SCOUTS and spies, and
more than once woman fought
alongside the men in the ranks. One
of the queerest cases L ever heard of
was that of a young woman from
Brooklyn, N. Y, only 10 years old
and just out of school. 1t was in
1868, when the cause of the union
was darkest. She was an ardent
union girl, and as a result of much
study and worry she conceived the
idea that she was born to be the
Joan of Arc of the union army. She
wanted to go directly to Washington
and ask President Lincoln for the
command of the federal forces. Her
parents did what they could to re-
strain her, and finally sent her out
to Ann Arbor, Mich, in the care of
a maiden aunt. There her delusion
became even more pronounced and it
was at last found necessary to put
her under restraint. She was not al
lowed 10 leave the house except when
accompanied by her aunt. One day
she disappeared. The greatest detec-
tives in the country were employed
to search for her, but they found
