Points of a Good Dairy Cow.
l will endeayor to give a few Of
what many years of experience has
taught me to believe are essential
points In selecting a profitable dairy
COW, and will commence at the nose.
Take cow that can put her nose in a
tincup-you can take a lineup to milk
her in; but cow that 1t takes a buck
ct to get her nose in, you will have to
take bucket to milk her in. In
other words, want a COW or a calf
of either sex, in order to make a prof
liable dairy animal, to have a great
broad mouth $50 it can NOW a wide
sWath), with thin lips indicating
thin hide and fineness throughout. en-
abllng it to sift out most of the nutri-
ton in food consumed and return it
to you in its milk; with broad. open
nostrils. giving it good breathing ca
pacity; and short from nose to eyes
long In this space indicates long in
the legs; too much wind blows under
1t and soon dries up the milk. even If
they give a good flow in the start;
broad between the eyes, indicating a
broad deep COW throughout. with good
heart, lungs. liver and digestive Or
gans; large, full eyes. indicating plen-
ty OF nerve force to carry out the re-
quirements Of the body; long from
eyes to horns. indicating good sense;
narrow between horns. indicating but
little combativeness and a mild dis
position; well developed body, not
"pot-gutted," with large teats and
plenty Of loose skin for udder devel-
opment-but not large, meaty, f1eshy
udder that will be nearly as large
after being MIXED as it was before; q
long tail with a good switch to enable
the cow to keep the flies from sucking
her blood that goes to produce milk.
There are other indications, but these
are enough to give beginner a start.

HAVING A GOOD TIME
ROUND OF PLEASURE FOR VISIT
 ING BANKERS
They Went to Theatre and Enjoyed . Smoker Last Night and Will Have a Barbecue
 Today.

Unless the plans of the local committee of Montgomery bankers miscarry, the out of-town bankers who are attending the an- nual session of the Alabama Bankers As sociation will not spend a dull moment while they are in Montgomery. The committee has determined that there shall be no dullness in the proceedings or in the entertainment of the visiting bank CTS. Following the business session of yes- terday the bankers were given time for leisurely dinner. They were then requested to assemble at 1880 p. m. on Court Square to board special street cars for the Pickett Springs Casino Theatre. The members, their guests and the local committee will leave this morning at 9:30 for Jackson's Lake. where they will enjoy an old-fashion- ed barbecue with the usual accessories.
 The business session of the Association to- day will be held at Jacksons Lake. the party returning on a special train which leaves the Lake at D. All the pleasant features which attend barbecue at Jack sons Lake will be in evidence to-day.
 The committees which have in charge the entertainment of the bannkers Is follows:
 On arrangements: Louis B. Farley chairman; Michael Cody, and William Ber- ney
 On barbecue: s. L. Tyson. chairman; M. r. LeGrand, A. S. Woolfolk.
 Theatrical and excursion s. B. Marks, Jr. A. S Woolfolk.
 Reception committee: Thomas J. Rey- holds, chairman; Joseph L. Hall, Michael Cody, A. M. Baldwin, William Berney.
 During the business session of the Asso- citation yesterday Louis B. Farley secured recognition suggesting that 1t might be the sentiment of the Association that the mem- bers would prefer to remain in town rather than spend the evening at Pickett Springs, where they were scheduled to attend a the atrical performance. This point was quick ly disposed of by delegate. who voiced the sentiment of the Association by declaring that the members would stand by the pro- gram arranged by the committee.
 The members of the Association and their guests, accordingly, assembled at Court Square at 1880 D. m.. where they boarded two special of the Montgomery Trac- tion Company and went to Pickett Springs At the theatre they witnessed a perform ance by Mabel Paige and her company in "Parson Jim
 The party returned to the city at II D. m, and assembled again at the Commercial and Industrial Association. Here they met a number of the bankers who had not gone to Picket Springs. but preferred to remain in town among their friends and relatives
 At the rooms of the Commercial and In- dustrlal Association a delightful smoker was enjoyed. This meeting of the Associa tion entirely informal Cigars nuncb and delightful buffet lunch was served. The members stood about the assembly rooms and discussed the good things pro- vided for them by the local association.
