Improving Dairy Stock.

A 2-year-old heifer, fresh in milk,
will sell for more than a fatted steer
and she will cost only half as much
to produce. These grade COWS are not
hard to produce. Purchase a pure sire
of of the standard breeds, cross
him upon the mixed stock now on the
farm and the young will, in all useful
characteristics, be far more than half
Of that pure breed. When we remem-
Der the years, even centuries, Of pure
breeding in these animals, Inc remem
Der also that the purer the blood in
any stock, the stronger will be that
blood, $500 or $3.50 for a male of
breeding age will not seem an extrava-
CANT price. Every neighborhood where
there is any cooperative spirit should
prepare to supply this demand for
fairly well bred cows. Every male
should be of the same breed.
SO that new animals will not have to
be purchased every two or three years.
exchanging these animals about the
.e~ighborhood, a farmer will then be
$fOO or $50, not for two years,
but for six or ten years of service.
The COWS thus produced will find a
ready market, because there are
4 sufficient number to attract purchas-
ers. Higher priced males may also
purchased with economy because of
he much longer period of usefulness.

MAIN ISSUE
About the Only Detail on
Which the Goulds Seem
to Disagree.
az Associated Press

New York. June 11-AnnOuncement
was made to-day that Howard Gould
is considering the advisibility of ask
ing a counter suit for separation
against his wife. The counter suit
he thinks, would lessen the chances
of Mrs. Could obtaining a court decree
of the alimopy for S25O.OOO a year.
One Of Mr.. Gould's friends is quot
ed to-day as saying that Mr.. Gould
would be willing to set aside a suffi-
cient sum for the support of his wife
but that he would not entertain the
demand for a quarter of a million
dollars a year.
He thought likely that Mr. Gould
would be willing to give his wife
100000 year alimOny and felt sure
that Mr.. Gould would consent to set
tie this on that basis MI Gould has
not said so directly but briefs of the
arguments between Attorney Nicoll,
for Howard Gould, and Clarence J.
Hearn, counsel for Mrs. Gould. were
submitted yesterday to Supreme
Court Justice Mccall and a decision
is expected in a few days. This ar
gument took place last Saturday and
was on a motion by Mr.. NicoT to
strike out three allegations from Mrs.
