dairy form shows herself to be of ex.
ceptional dairy merit, but the best
dairy cows so uniformly correspond to
such external characteristics that one
will make no mistake in making the
dairy form his ideal in breeding. Not
all cows with "dairy form" show ex-
cellence at the pail and churn; but
few, on the other hand, show such ex-
cellence that do not show these ex-
ternal characteristics. 1t is the only
wise course, then, to breed for them.
and to regard the exceptions that oc-
cur as proving the rule"
The distinguishing external marks
that characterize good dairy cow
which are so excellently shown in this
outline-are wedge-shape for the
body, large in the "barrel' and rear
quarters, and light and thin in the
fore-quarters; large udder with
large, well-placed teats, looseness and
yellowness of skin; severe leanness of
body as opposed to the rounded and
plump form of the purely beef an
imal, thinness of neck. fineness and
waxiness of horns, 'dishing" face,
and full, mild eye. Experience has
shown that the great body Of the best
dairy cows possess such points as have
been mentioned. It is safe, then, for
the breeder to photograph such an
outline as is here given firmly upon
his mind.--Webb Donnell, in Orange

HINTS FOR DAIRYMRN.

The COW loveth generous feeder.
Better let that calf be little fat than
q little starved.
No man can have a clean conscience
and a dirty constable.
Be sure you are feeding the good COW
enough; be more sure you are not feed
ing poor one too much.
The good COW will make milk either
from her food or from her system
feed is cheaper than COW.
Let the cows bed be warm and clean
and comfortable these nights-Jack
Frost is an Unsuitable consumer of milk.
Not the least valuable merit of good
rich silage is its palatability; to make
the cows mouth water" is wise part
of feeding.
Cows don't always know enough
when turned out in the cold to skip
around 10 keep warm and make them
selves healthy" They are more like
ly TO find the most protected spot and
stand still while they ruminate upon
the proposition that their owner is a

THE DAIRY STABLE.
To Weep II Clean and Free from Bad
Odors should he the PrOpri-
etor's First Duty.

Keeping the COW stable clean and
sweet is one of the necessary requi-
sites of good dairying. It is impos-
sible to draw milk in stable that is
nauseating in its atmosphere and have
the milk pure. The atmosphere fur
nishes the cause of bad odors that
become worse when developed in the
milk. 1t is not infrequent that man
takes great pains to have his hands
washed and clean clothes on when he
milks, and yet allows the odors of the
manure to so permeate the whole
stable that tis impossible to get good
results as TO clean product. Every
few months the stable should be given
thorough cleaning, using not only
lye washes but disinfectants as WELL
Then the daily task should be to keep
it clean. OF course it is not possible
to do as a great New Jersey dairyman
does--keep man to do nothing but
to remove the droppings as fast as
they are made, but the barn should be
cleaned out often enough to prevent
the odors from permeating every
thing. Whitewashing is valuable be-
cause 1T not only covers up germs that
may have escaped the disinfectant
washes. but acts as a reminder to the
dairyman that his stable is to be kept
clean. Dirt cannot accumulate on
whitewash without being recognized,
and thus the cleanings are likely to be
nearer together Some have adopted
the practice of painting the boards
near the cows with coal tar. This
would appear to be good thing. as it
prevents the boards taking in filth
and holding it. They should also be
easier cleaned for this painting

The Consumptiou OF butter.

The statement that the consumption
of butter per capita is increasing is
true and is likely to have an important
bearing on the dairy interests of the
whole country. Butter has become a
necessary article of food for the great
mass of people, and is being more gen.
orally used every year, especially when
wage earners are well employed. Peo-
pie need not be very. old to remember
when butter was luxury to the work
ing man and during the winter was
seldom on the table. Now It Is q staple

Potash and Peach Trees.

Peaches, like all other products of
the soil, need feeding. Potash and
Phosphoric acid are the principal con-
stituents required in making the fruit.
An excess of nitrogen will produce
rank growth at the expense of the fruit
buds. Take, for instance, the peach
tree near the kitchen door which gets
plenty of soapy water, which contains
large amount of lye (potash). 1t al
ways has full crop. A few pounds of
potash and phosphate around each tree
during the later winter and you will
be more than repaid for the trouble and
expense.

Fruit Tree. for shade Trees.

On small farms in order to secure
good supply of fruits>a very good plan
Of management is to set in places where
crops cannot be cultivated to an advan-
tage. Trees for shade are always desir-
able, and there is no good reason why
these should not be good fruit trees as
well as shade trees only. The cherry
especially can be planted along the road
or about the yard where there is more
or less tramping. Pears, apples and
peaches may be grown in places where
crop could not. and by utilizing space
of this kind to good advantage plenty
of fruit could be grown.-Farmers
