the end Of an interesting dynasty. 1t

THE m.p1JRPosE COW.

This animal Is in evidence on great
many farms and has done more to-
ward inturing the dairy and cattle
business than anything else. The no
purpose cow is much like the mongrei
dog or the barnyard fowl. Neither has
any particular breed, possibilities OF
capabilities. They exist because they
are the products Of lazy, careless
system. They do not help their own
ers much, but tend 10 discourage
them. The no-purpose COW Is the
product Of an Indifferent system OF
farrowing, and 1t is an animal which

as many preachers to minister to the

But while we are looking to the
