BUYING OR RAISING COWS.
The Wise Farmer VIII Raise HIS
Calves.


The practice OF raising cows rather
than selecting them from the herds
of others Is 20 be commended. One
Of the prominent dairymen OF che FL
gin district in Illinois. says Farmers
Review, has for a long time followed
the practice OF going ont into the
country and buying the best COWS ne
could find. milkine them through one
lactation and then selling them 20 the
butchers. lie said Sc was a paying
investment and that was all re was
looking for. We are glad 10 know that
this dairyman has abandoned this
course and is now raising calves from
his best COWS.
tie says thar the other practice has
been carried on for so many years
that Il is now diGcu,t TO find the
good COWS 10 buy and that If a man
wants good cows he must raise them.
This is the only course that will con
stantiy improve the quality OF our
dairy herds. From year 10 year good
cows will increase ia number in the
herd OF the man that is always selling
OF his poorest COWS and is raising
calves from his best COWS 20 take the
place of the poor COWS Of which he
disposes.

THE DISCONTINUED SPRUCE.

The South Wind was awfully hot
He was so hot that he perspired. and
didn't enjoy blowing himself AROUND
SO he went into the wood where the
tall trees were and sat down by a
babbling brook to cool himself
Every thing was dark and still and
green in there and while the South
Wind sat resting himself every leaf
hung motionless from its twig and
the whole place seemed to doze The
sunlight came down In round discs
here and there, where 1t could find
a hole in the trees to slide through;
even the squirrels were taking an
afternoon nap So the South Wind
leaned up against big oak tree and
went to sleep himself.
He never stirred for an hour. Then
long sigh near him made him sit
up and rub his eyes and look around
who spoke?" said the South
Wind in a whisper.
# guess YOU heard me sigh, said
a little tree directly in front of him.
II sigh good deal, I'm not very
happy"
The south Wind took long look
at the little tree, and then whistled
between his teeth
Goodness me! shouldn't think
you would be. What kind of tree
are you? | never saw one like you
before"
I'm an Oak said the little tree.
Then he blusbed all over, as if ne
were conscious OF not having told the
exact truth.
An OAK? Ha. hal No Oak j ever
saw looked as you do Give another
guess about yourself
My family is the Spruce. They're
