Points Of a Good Cow.

There are five essential points that
should be observed in the selection Of
cows for the development OF dairy
herd from common stock. First, look
for a COW with a large and capacious
barrel. open and rather widely spaced
in the ribs, which should spring well
downward; second, look for evidences
of refinement as seen in head inclin-
ing to long. a-neck long and slim, crops
somewhat sharp and limbs inclining
to fine; third, look for the present evi-
dences Of good milk giving capacity; !;
fourth, look for evidences Of stamina
as indicated by good width through
the lower part Of the chest, by an ac-
tive carriage and bright, full eyes;
fifth. favor the COW that has nice,
soft hide and silky coat.
i. Handling the Bull.
The bull is a treacherous animal and
is never to be trusted. It may be ap-.
parently mild. gentle and obedient one
hour and the personifi ficati0n OF wrath,
vindictiveness and stubbornness the
next hour. Moreover. like all other
animals. It soon learns Its power and
ability. The first principle to be ap-
piled In the training OF q bull is never
to give 1t an opportunity to overpowers
or outwit its caretaker. To this end
begin the training while yet a calf.
Teach 1t to lead and never IN sport or.
otherwise permit the bull to have Its

Finley retired early last night and had
been in bed but a short while before he
got up, passed. out of the house and
walked leisurely down the street. Po-
liceman Wade II. Trice found him walk
ing along II street and inquired what
was the trouble. When he received no
response he gave the sleepwalker a shak-

call where he lived. and told the police
he had no recollection of having left his
bed and home. He expressed surprise
when he discovered he was barefooted
