Malcolm Fl. Gardner says Of Hol.
Holstein- Friesians are essentially a
dairy breed and are so regarded in
America, yet as an all round dairy
breed the matter of beef and veal must
not be lost sight Of, and in Holland
these are very important points. There
few cattle are allowed to pass their
seventh year. but before they pass out
of their prime they are fattened and
sold as beef. Owners and breeders Of
Ho!stein-Friesian cattle base their
claims for the superiority of this breed
over all other dairy breeds mainly on
the following points: First, that the
Holstein-Friesian is Il large, strong.
vigorous COW. full of energy and
Astounding in vitality; second. that her
physical organization and digestive ca
pacity are such that she is able to turn
to the best advantage the rOughage of
the farm. converting the same into
~merchantable products; third, that she
Yields large quantities of most excel
lent milk fit for any and all uses and
especially well fitted for shipping pur-
poses: fourth. that hcredity is so firm
" established through her long lineage
that she is able to perpetuate herself
through TIN production Of strong,
healthy calves. and. fifth. that when
for any reason her usefulness in the
dairy is at an end she fattens readily
and makes excellent beef.

Selecting the Sire.

In selecting the sire the record Of his
mother, his sire's mother and Of all his
near ancestry should be looked into,
aud unless all these have been large
producers and Of the desirable dairy
type we cannot expect their offspring
to produce individuals that will be
economical producers. 1t Is much safer
to select an old sire that has been tried
and produced offspring that are known
to be large producers than to select a
young sire whose ability to transmit
characteristics Is unknown.

Tracing the Bullet.

If a bullet to be fired by a marksman
is coated with a fine paste of gun
powder and gum, says the Dundee
Advertiser, and then with a thin GOV
ering of some friction powder, the lat
ter, as the bullet passes out of the gun
barrel, will ignite. and in turn set fire
to the gunpowder paste. The bullet
will then leave a long stream Of smoke
behind it, indicating the exact course
it has taken and enabling the marks
man, if necessary, to correct his aim
for his next shot.

Test the Herd.
Every day brings tidings Of the de-
struction of valuable herds of cows be-
cause Of tuberculosis. Why all this de
struction! Simply because the men
who owned the cattle did not inform
themselves thoroughly concerning the
disease. Why should farmers nurse
and coddle this disease, keep it and
hide it and refuse to know the truth.
aattering themselves in a weak way
that their COWS are all right?' It is
not an expensive matter to test a herd.
If the disease is there. shouldn't the
farmer know it as soon as possible? If
1t presents a clean bill of health
shouldn't he be vigilant to keep it so?

and her keep clean. says Hoard's Dali
ryman. Test regularly every year.
Never take in an animal that has not
been tested. Use disinfectants. such
as whitewash and carbolic acid. freely.
Put the King system of ventilation in
the stable. Spend a little money to be
safe rather than lose q lot of it in
slaughtered cattle. These are all COM
mon sense precautions, just plain COM
mon sense. Some people ask US If we
think the country will ever be cleared
of tuberculosis. Probably not. But 1t
is no great thing for any farmer to
keep his farm clear of it, and that will
save him a good deal and the country
a little.
