FOR BETTER cows.
Five Points In Developing a Dairy

There are Ave essential points that
should be observed in the rejection Of
cows for tho development of dairy

Farmers Voice. The straight dairy
breeds that stand in the front in this
country are the HolsteiD, Ayrshire,
Guernsey and Jersey, r.med probably
in order Of relative siae. The Dutch
belted cattle, not very numerous, are
much like the Holstein. The choice
being made, don't change the breed
from which the sire is chosen, and ex-
ercise great care in choosing.

The animals fall below the standard,

Every man will, Of course, vet bis

Standard he is not likely to reach l.9h

in their capacity to produce milk,
hence high grades of these will al5a

or their grades, however, SHOULD the
standard be set at less than 5000
pounds OF milk year

Don't CVerdress.

There is no more serious error
against good taste than to overdress,
and there is none that is easier TO
commit in this day of elaborate hats
and frocks.
If in doubt it is safe to err on the
side of being too simply dressed. The
smartest women are those who know
the exact degree of elaboration suited
to different hours and different ocCa-
sions. They would no more go to mar
ket or shopping in reception gown
than they would attend the theater in
q shirtwaist and skirt.
