selection should begin at once.
In order TO reduce cost and trou-
BILE. which have deferred many from
selecting their own seed, We suggest
that only sufficient seed be selected
this year TO plant one acre. 1t will
only take a short time to go through
the cotton fields and mark about
three times as many stalks as will
be required 10 supply the seed TO
plant one acre. Ihese stalks should
be the heaviest, early-fruiting ones
TO be found. OF course, they should
be vigorous-growing. hearty stalks
as indicated by good foliage and
freedom from disease. When the
time comes for the second picking
the marked stalks should be again
examined and the seed cotton picked
only from those stalks which show
the largest yield and the highest and
most uniform quality OF fiber, and
also the largest and best bolls both
for ease OF picking and storm re-
sistance.

al rule large yields so with large

should be sought, but they should
not alone cause the selection OF

case especially early fruiting. they
are very desirable features.

GROWING cow PEAS
FOR MORE PROTEIN
That Recommendation Is Made to
Improve the Food In the S31o
Mix Them with Corn.

For the purpose of getting more
protein food in the silo with corn,
HoaFds Dairyman recommends grow
ing COW peas in the corn, and says the
Whippoorwil peas are considered
about the best to plant with the corn.
1t is not as leafy as some of the other
varieties, but on account of its climb
ing habit, clin,gs to the corn better
than the others and makes it easy for
the corn binder to reap the crop.
Some plant about one gallon of corn
and two gallons of peas per acre, or
SOW: the peas after the corn is about
six inches high; while others in plant
ing corn, drop a grain of corn every
IL to Ia inches and two or three peas
every eight to ten inches. Silage
made. from cow peas and corn mixed
together Is better than from cow peas
alone. Another system of getting
more protein into the silage is to grow
the COW peas. and corn separately and
mix them as they. are being put into
the silo.

think that the only practical way
to Judge these COWS is by looking at
them and the, man who does the judg
ing should be one of wide experience
with dairy cattle. He should not only
understand cows as mixers, but he
ought to be acquainted with the diff
ferent kinds of pure-breds from which
they are graded.
These COWS should be judged by a
score of points, but not the score card
of any one breed. For instance, the
Jersey score card calls for cow with
"dished face, wide between the eyes
and narrow between the HORNS while
these characteristics are lacking in
some other breeds. The shape of a
cows head doesn't have anything to
do with her milking capacity in some
peoples opinion, but / think that the
head is the most characteristic part

] think that the managers of the
New York state fair are up against
a rather hard proposition if they wish
to give premiums to the best grade
COWS. In the first place, if rules for
entering in this class are not of the
strictest kind the premiums are very
apt to go to pure bred cattle mas
querading as grades, writes j. Grant
Moran in Rural New Yorker. 1t is a
great deal easier TO show a pure-bred
as a grade than it is to show grade
as a pure-bred, and if there is any
thing in breeding the grades would
stand a poor chance by the side of
pure-breds especially fitted by a pro-
fessional Snowman. At first one
would say that it will be very easy
to pick out the best cows by simply
milking them and weighing and test
ing the milk, but in my opinion this
would not be fair way at all, for the
best dairy cows are of a very high
nervous temperament and for this

as the buyer should decide as to her

went back and the man paid me for
the COW. But after he paid me for
her he told me that if L had come
back in the middle of the week he
should have told me to take the COW
away The first day she gave a good
flow of rich milk, but the next she
began to go off, both in quantity and
quality, and she gave only a very
small mess OF very poor milk. Then
she began to get back to a normal
condition, so that by the end of the
week she had won her way back into

If 1 were going out after good dairy
cows I should have in mind one with

but she would be deep and wide

should be thin: and devoid of much
