SELECTING DAIRY COWS.

SELECTING DAIRY COWS.
In selecting a dairy COW, says Prof.
Haecker, we should try to obtain an
animal with a dished face, prominent,
lively eye, long body, deep through the
middle, with thin neck, light shoulders.
prominent hip bones, high pelvic arch.
thin thighs. with high, arching flank,
giving plenty of;room for good udder.
which should extend well forward and
well out and high behind, giving long
and broad surface attachment to the
sody, with good-sized teats, well plac-
ID. The legs should be short and clean,
and there should be ample heart and
nng room. 1t may be interesting to ex-
plain what is meant by certain points
canned. For instance, why do we call
for dished face in COW? This is the
reason: The dishing OF the face Is
saused by the prominence of the eyes
On either side.
A large, full eye Is one of the sew
sral signs of strong. nervous tenn
sacrament. By a strong nervous tenn
l. e "a =
perament we mean a large supply OF
serve force, and this is one of the most
necessary things q COW must have, If
she does large dairy work. Another
good indication Of the nervous temper
amant is a strong. rugged backbone
rising well above the withers. with the
tbs set well apart. Such backbone,
taken in connection with the appear
ance Of the head and general lean ap-
0earance OF the COW, is an indication
sf an extra large marrow, which shall
furnish an abundant supply of nerve
force to the mammary organs of the
cow. In speaking OF the pelvic arch is
meant the strong rise of the backbone
between the hips and the setting on Of
the tail. A prominent pelvic arch Is
decidedly q dairy point.

reported since then. The country along
the St. Paul & Duluth is fast develop
ing the dairy interest. A few days ago
meeting was held to advocate skim
station in Pine county, where cream
may be gathered for the creamery and
the skimmilk sent back to the farmers.
Before the meeting got through it was
decided to make it a full fedged cream

THE POULTRY YARD.
CROSS BRED FOWLS.

The vigor and usefulness of q flock
may often be improved by the intro
duction OF male OF some other breed,
but as rule there is nothing to gain
by crossing, provided care has been
exercised in selecting good fowls for
the breeding pens.
Promiscuous breeding year after year
with no attention to selection will re-
suit in constitutionally weak fowls that
soon become positively worthless in
size and egg productiveness.
Carefully not each Individual, and
dispense with all understood or mis-
shapen hens. especially II they are def
Gent in egg production Select as near
as possible those uniform in color and
size; then mate them with a strong,
vigorous male Of same strain, but not
closely related to them. Inbreeding
should never be practiced, unless the
sole object be to get exhibition fowls.
and then only by experts, who are per-
fectly familiar with the faults of each
and can thus overcome the defects
which they might not be able to do
sould they introduce new blood into
the flock.
AZ said before. as a rule there is
nothing to gain by crossing, the pure
breeds possessing all these qualities to
he souhgt for, besides having the adj
vantage Of beauty, which in itself Is an
incentive for their owner to work the
harder for them.
The time Is now at hand when mat
ing should begin. and eggs should
therefore be fertile within ten days
time.
The larger breeds should be Matched
not later than April l.. 80 that pullets
may begin to lay In early fall, and be-
sides the young cockerels will be more
profitable a. early springers than II
kept till midsummer.
During the cold weather do not put
over eleven eggs under each hen, as
the proportion Of chicks will be greater
than if thirteen or fifteen be put under
her.
"A few minutes II sufficient during ex-
tremely cold weather to chill the chick
In the shell. and only what can be
easily covered should be allowed. Make
nest In warm room and provide every
thing necessary for the hen, 30 that
she will not be forced to remain Of. the
nest any length Of time.
II 10 better to confine the settlers in q
room BY themselves. 30 that other hens
may not annoy them.

and furnish plentiful supply Of good

IL no denying the fact that something Of
kindred nature sometimes attacks the
focks, apparently healthy. and kills
great numbers
For my part. have never seen q
case of chicken cholera, and should be
at loss for a remedy should the dis.
ease make its appearance; therefore,
can only suggest that poultry houses
and yards be kept clean and dry and
the fowls be given good, pure food and
water.
AS to the gapes among young chicks
there is only one remedy, and that Is
to change chicks to clean, dry quarters
and keep plenty of air-slacked lime
scattered around.
Cape worms are not necessarily dis
ease. but will SO debilitate the chick
that he is an easy prey for all other
will soon spread and choke the little
one to death.
Prevention Is the best remedy, but
those affected can often be relieved, by
the use of a feather stripped to within
an inch Of the end. Hold the chick
firmly between your knees with back
toward you. With thumb and forefin-
ger Of left hand force open mouth and
hold head upward. Insert feather in
windpipe, which is easily seen, and
press downward three or four inches.
turn gently and withdraw. The cape
worms will adhere to the feather and
few applications will in most cases
give relief.
Physic should not be resorted to in
the poultry yard unless absolutely
rectly affected.
Prevent the disease by close atten-
ton to sanitary conditions and there
will be no need of medicines.

mucn more profitable as layers than old
fowls. It Is often wise to keep old hens
because Of their good qualities as breed
ing stock, when they are fine In color,
shape, size, etc, but they are hardly
ever profitable from the standpoint Of
the egg basket for market purposes. It
is often we'll also to keep some matronly
old ''biddies" that are reliable as moth
ers for chicks, for the pullets are apt to
be young and thoughtless" and will
have disposition to neglect maternal
duties, hut as layers simply q pen Of
pullets 10 not very far from twice as
productive az the same number Of old
hens, and on the farm where egg pro-
duction Is sought for no hen should be
kept longer than two years unless for
some other reason than her egg produce
ton. Another point in connection with
egg production should also be borne in
mind, and that Is that only winter pro-
duction pays. The time may come, as
It appears to becoming in dairying.
when the prices for winter and summer
will be more nearly equalixed, but Just
now It 10 the winter egg that brings a
