M.mmary development.

One can easily have too large q
,m!ammary development in dairy COW.

emit. She was born in such shape
as to make 80 much milk as to weaken
her general system and to induce nd

Hoard's Dairyman. But It is q sure

ctently developed, q waste of food will
result. The excess of created nourish-
ment will be used up in the relatively
too large general system, or it will
pass through the body unutilized.
But not only must the improved
dairy cow have the large mammary
development, she must have equally
with the beef COW the ability to digest
and absorb from the food eaten its nu-
tritive elements to the greatest posi-
BILE degree. Cows, as well as human
beings. vary largely in this capacity.
The possession of big appetite is no
absolute criterion of the development
of the digestive power. Some human
beings are enormous eaters, simply be.
cause they cannot digest and absorb
enough nourishment, and hence are al
ways more or less hungry. have
seen some delicate invalids consume
enough nourishing foods to support
several individuals of healthy diges.
tive ability, and yet not secure enough
force from the food eaten to do a
quarter days work. 1t is so with
COWS. Some do not have the anatom.
lcal conformation or physiological d.
gestiye ability to economically convert
food into blood, and thus supply the
protoplasm of the milk-forming cells
enough material from which to form
milk. II this is so, it becomes more
evident that a mere test for quantity
of product is not satisfactory evidence
of the real dairy value of the COW.
Hence it becomes a matter of great i'm
portance that breeders should so man
age their stock as to develop the pecu-
liar digestive functions which are at
the bottom of milk production. So far
as my observations have gone, breed
ers pay little or no scientific attention
to this point. They breed for large
uddecs, external dairy form and large
storage capacity for food, which may
or may not be we'll digested. and they
are apt to market their stock on the
strength of weeks test, secured by
forcing with concentrated and highly
digestible food.
The manager of one of the most
prominent herds in the country told
me that he fed his calves to fairness,
because that was the kind of looking
calf buyers wanted, although he &C
knowledged that the practice was
wrong. Well. of course, this is more
the buyers fault than the breeders. 1t
is evident that many dairymen have
got something yet to learn. Perhaps
it is too much to expect that breeders
should create product symmetrical
in all good dairy qualities. Perhaps
the dairy farmers can best furnish the
constitution and digestive capacity.

of carbolic acid last evening about
5 O'Clock, and has been lying in an
unconscious condition since. She was
found about an hour after the poison

boring women, and was in stupor
when discovered. Drs. J.B Wilson and

ministered antidotes and at a late
hour this afternoon the suffering

that would prompt her to attempt t
end her life except her illness, which
caused her much suffering. The cal
