Right Kind of Cows.
Many breeders of dairy cattle have
not fully grasped the height and the
depth and breadth OF their profession.
There are too many who think IL is
simply the reproduction Of pedigreed
live stock. 1t is more than that. 1t
is the bringing together in one animal
the capable milk producer and the
mother annually of a strong vigorous
calf. Mr.. Scribner, a very successful
breeder, says: "In my estimation a
profitable COW Is one that can produce
year after year a maximum yield of
butter at a cost that represents a good
profit to the owner. She must also pro.
duce one healthy calf each year This
ought to be one Of the requisites of the
sire wifich is TO head the herd See
to II that he is from productive strain
of regular breeders He will intensity
his weak points as well as reproduce
his good qualities in breeding. He
ought TO be as nearly perfect in dairy
conformation and dairy makeup as pos

else in the mating Of our animals some
faulty ones are sure TO develop. We
must figure on that. If we have look
ed well to this end. to see that the sire
Is right and that the dams we are to

Join them. Two fences of board and

his love for the wild, and he broke
through and went over at risk of
life and limb, and has been a wild
horse living in the jungle ever since.

of the time from sight. He has been
seen several times, but no one has
been able to effect a capture. He
wants to have a summer vacation in
preference to feeding on the second
floor of the Fashion stables, and be-
ing ridden by the prettlest girls in
Salem. That horse should be able
to resume his wild life and subsist
