Quality in Cattle

High-class animals always have the
most quality. 1t is shown in a fine,
silky coat of hair, in mellow, elastic
skin and in fine bones and neat joints.
There is lots of difference in the coat
of hair. One COW may have hair that
is fine and soft and thick There is
very fine and close undercoat and
then longer, coarser hair. Such hair
is a great protection in winter Other
animals, and they are the most com
mon, have coarse, long hair. Their
bones are also likely to be big and
coarse. When an animal has plenty
of quality you can easily take the
skin in the hand between thumb and
fingers and pull it out from the side of
the body. II will be mellow and roll
up somewhat in the hand. If the cow
lacks quality her skin will be thick
tight, and not easily taken in the
hand. Fine quality, as seen in the
hair, skin and bone. means with the
beef animal that when killed there
will be much less waste of the carcass
than If the conditions show lack OF
quality. So also the dairy COW with
plenty of quality is a better producer
Of milk than il the quality is lacking.

POTATO WORSE THAN OPIUM
Habit of Smoking Dried Stems of Or
binary Field Tuber One of Most
Vicious Practises.

Even worse than opium smoking is
the smoking of the dried stems of the
ordinary field potato" writes an emf
nent physician in an exchange. The
potato vine is a poisonous growth.
The apple or seed, which grows on
the potato and looks like a small, I'M
dergrown green tomato, which it is
in fact, for the potato and tomato are
blood cousins, is especially potent in
its baleful effects if one smokes it.
Usually the vice starts in boyhood
days on the farm, when the youngster
of the family steals his fathers pipe
and hides with it and some matches
down behind the garden fence or be-
hind the barn next to the field Of
potatoes. He doesn't dare to take up
the straight tobacco, but he tries cut

but the heart action accelerates in a
minute or two in an effort to throw
off the poison through the lungs and
skin. The dreamy state quickly dis
appears, the face gets flushed and the
heart action rapidly increases to Sc
we're palpitation.
IF the dose has been large the VIC
tim feels a wild, fierce elation that
impels him to action of any kind. In
this state he may do anything but the
stage is reached much more quickly
than with alcoholic liquors.
The eyes become blind and cloud
ed The pupil dilates as though bel
ladOnna had been applied The motor
centers are affected and there is par
alysis of the lower limbs, and the
smokers face gets pale, while drops
of sweat stand out.
at this stage the heart action
weakens and there is either stupor or
syncope, in which the victim of the
potato poison lies practically para
lived and unable to move, while his
brain is in an insane whirl. This rep
resents the height Of the intoxication
and it is followed by acute depression
and melancholia and a slow return OF
the physical powers.
"The potato stem smoke speedily
draws victim down He grows pale,

violent acute mania, usually with
homicidal tendencies.

A boy of 1G caught the habit trying to

If ewes have been well fed and are
strong and vigorous at time of lamb

small.
Ill-Red ewes produce sickly lambs A
young lamb is very tender the first
few days of its life
If they come into the world weak

cold, wet weather to kill them
The ration for ewes just prior to
Landing is of the greatest importance.
An excellent grain ration is oats,
bran and corn in equal proportions by
weight. This Of course makes bran
much larger in bulk and some farm
ers seem to be afraid to feed bran
This is a great mistake because it is
one of the best rations to use at this
time. Alfalfa makes excellent rough
age.
If bran is not available a little oil
meal makes an excellent substitute.
The ration mentioned will make plen-
ty of milk without laying on too much
fat and when the lambs are dropped
the ewes will be in good condition to
take care of them.
Good shelter for the ewes is also
very important. They require plenty
OF ventilation but their quarters must
be perfectly dry and free from drafts.
1t is 4 mistake to confne sheep in a
barn with large openings around the
To-
cause such an arrangement is sure to
be drafty.
1t is a good plan to build in front
Of the shed an extension roof of about
six feet not sloping enough to prevent
the sun from shining in but sufficient
to carry off the rain. This will en-
able the ewes to have more light and
air and it will be found that they will
spend most of their time at the front
Of the shed. Sheep do not Ike damp,

Sanitary Dairy Barn Floors.

Concrete stable floors are now rec.

and finished with grooves to prevent
