A TYPICAL DAIRY COW.

a Ions, well developed hind quarter
and a nicely shaped udder. She Ia
short legged. close to the ground, an
gular and free from fieshlness. Her
body shows symmetry, quality, CORE
lation Of parts and therefore stamina
and great digestive capacity, and she
exhibits every indication OF the power
to give a large quantity OF milk. 1t Is
rare that any person purchasing a COW
having such apparent constitution and
conformation. and yet being a rangy,
open jointed animal. will be disap-
pointed In her as a money maker.
There are exceptions TO all rules, how
ever, and no type can be described that
will meet every contingency and pass
every skirmish line unchallenged. -

Selecting Calves.
The Practical Farmer gives this
method Of selecting calves to raise,
which Is followed by many successful
dairymen: Turn the little calf on it's
back and see that it has four well placed
~teats-that is, wide apart-and two ru-
d~imentaries, or extra teats. Next see
that II has u large udder cord. which
you can feel on the side. rubbing finger
back and forth. Such parts are made
In proportion. and a large udder indi-
Gates that the calf when 1t becomes a
COW will carry a large udder. because
a large cord Is necessary to hold this
up Next look in the calf's mouth. and
If there are eight teeth, well through,
you can safely raise that calf. III
there are only two teeth put through.
reject the calf. because. as a rule. this
indicates that the constitutional vigor
Of the mother was not sufficient t ma
ture the calf fully before it was born.
Such a calf will be likely TO have a
weak vitality when 1t grows up as well
as during its younger days.
How Long 90 Keep the Dairy Cow.
The answer is short to the question.
"How long should a dairy cow be
kept?" Keep the COW only SO long as
she pays a gratifying profit. II no
record is kept OF profit and loss on the
farm. neither man nor beast will get
credit for services rendered. Every
animal should have a ledger standing
account. Even justice to man and
beast alike Is honorable. The farm
er's methods In bookkeeping are not
always commended by expert account
ants. Business demands system. and
that system must he correct. When
the leaf Is turned over in correct book
keeping. the proitless live stock will
be got rid OF at the earliest possible
moment Proltless stock is the heav-
lest tax the farmer. dairyman and
breeder is imperiously called upon to
pay.

When a dairyman goes into the mar
ket to purchase a cow, he generally
finds certain valuations placed on the
different ones, governed more or less
by the past records, but to a large ex-
tent he will be disappointed in his pur-
chases unless he has somewhat init
mate knowledge Of the nature of dairy
cows. says American Cultivator. A
good many cows are worth more than
their record. They may have possibili-
ties which are only slightly apparent,
but which under proper treatment
might be easily developed. A cows
record for producing milk and cream
must always be considered In connec-
ton with her feeding. Cows that have
good records have been known 70 be
such heavy feeders that there was no
profit in keeping them. Another ami
NAL with probably a similar good rec
ord for yie.d viii be n comparatively
small feeder. Whatever she eats seems
to go into milk or butter fat. A record
Of milk yield without a record of the
daily feeding is OF little value to any
one. The two questions cannot be sep
arated.
Another point that must be consid-
cred is the season of the year when
the yields OF butter. cream and milk
have been made. A dairy cow that
will make large yields in the summer
and comparatively nothing in the fall
and winter is far less valuable than
another who keeps up a pretty steady
yield the year round.
An IDEAL Dairy Cow.
In the figure a dairy cow Is presented
whose general features are almost per-
feet. She has a medium sized head
and neck and a well defined shoulder
and neck vein. The | ody or barrel is

A Pre-empted Home From Which He
Ii often Uislodged.
A casual observer might wonder why
the rods bolted through the timbers at
either end are placed under freight
cars. They are not put there for hoboes
to ride on, but to stiffen the floor or the
car. Sometimes there are four, two
close together ON each side, but more
often there are six, separated by equai
distances.
At the center, where the rods are nd
den, there is often room between them
and the bottom of the car for a man TO
sit almost upright, though with his
head bowed forward, but where there
are six rods the hobo usually lies
across them Ike q steak on a gridlron.
While the train is moving slowly 1t Is
easy as q rule to drive him on by
throwing coal or rocks at him. If it Is
going very fast, there is danger of kill
ing him, and that is likely to get the
brakeman in trouble from ten years to
life is customary.
There is one other way Of removing a
hobo from the rods under a freight, but
the brakeman must be a man of steady
nerve. quickness and physical strength;
also he must know exactly where the
hobo is before he comes off the top to
get him. Dropping from the train a car
or two ahead Of the one under which
the man is riding, the brakeman has
time to brace himself before that cal
reaches him (the train should be NOV
ing only slowIO; then he seizes the
hobo by the coat collar or by his arms
The motion of the train does the rest,
and the hobo is dropped on the ground.
