STRANGE COMPANIONS.
The Happy Family" and a Kitten and
Hawk.


Hawk
The first public exhibition of a "hap.
by family" In England was given
about fifty years ago, when there were
shown monkey. cat, several rats
and three or four pigeons i'm one cage.
The monkey was on excellent terms
with the cat SO long rs puss would
allow him To warm himself by cud.
ding her; otherwise he would show
his veNation 10y slyly giving her tail
nip with his teeth.
The birds perched on the cats back
and pecked at her fur. and the rats
were rs friendly with their natural
enemy as II she were one OF their own
sort
y lady walking in the Isle OF Wight
observed little kitten curled I'D on
a messy bank taking midday nan.
AS she stopped TO stroke il a hawk
swooped down and. pouncing upon the
Kitten, hid it from sight.
The lady, fearing for the life Of the
kitten, tried To rescue Il, but the hawk
firmly faced her. stood at bay and re.
FUSED to move. She FASTENED TO n
hsherman's cottage and told the In.
mates OF the impending tragedy.
ITS always So" they said. laughing.
THAT hawk always comes dowa II
any one goes near the kitten. He has
taken to IL and stays near at hand
TO watch whenever it goes TO sleep.r
The lady, greatly interested. made
further inquiry and learned that the
kittens mother had died. after which
the nursing was missed for several
days. One day the hawk was seen
about the cottage picking up scraps OF
meat and carrying them to the roof OF
the cottage
The fisherman climbed up and found
the lost kitten nestled in hole i'm the
thatch and thriving under the care OF
its strange foster father. II was
brought down and restored to the cot

his charge and was always at hand 70

Then began a series OF pantomimic

Selecting the Cows.

il has been obtained.
Selecting the Cows.
If dairying is To bc made prominent
feature OF the farming operations it
Will pay To- 90 into one Of the special
lied dairy breeds. These special pur-
pose dairy cows are machines FOR turn
ing out milk. and the best ones do il
effectively aud breed true TO type.
There is little choice between breeds.
The Jerseys give very rich milk. but
are small in size aud cannot stand I'M
favorable conditions well. Uoistelns
are harder. larger aud can use more
rough feed TO advantage. Their calves
can be turned into quick and profitable
veal, and their large milk now means
more skimmilk for calves and pius.
Where milk is being sold the small per
centage OF lat is Disadvantage.
Guernseys are harder than Jerseys.
They give little more milk with 4 lit
tie lower percentage of lat. The milk
is valuable FOR city trade because Of a
high percentage OF solids other than
fat.
Far more important than breed is in
dividuality. There are three things TO
be taken into consideration in select
ing a dairy cow-type. performance
and pedigree. The dairy type is gem
orally recognized rs being Wedge shap-
ed. wide and deep behind and mar
rover in front. The three most impor-
tant points 10 look FOR are quality. CON
stitutiOn ana capacity. The skin should
be pliable and the horns and hair iine.
a coarse animal is seldom a satisfac-
tory milk and butter producer. There
should be no tendency TO lay on fat Y
dairy COW is worked 10 the limit dur
ing most of her life and must have a
strong constitution 10 keep up under
the strain. This is Indicated by a
roomy chest and large nostrils
The capacity OF the COW is OF two
kinds, digestive and milk producing
She must have good digestive capac-
ity, as shown by long. deep. roomy
barrel, in order to be able to handle
the amount OF feed necessary TO fur
nish material for Il large milk yield.
MIX producing capacity is indicated
by n large. we'll balanced udder. ex-
tending well forward and well up be-
tween the legs behind. The veins
which run forward from the udder
should be large and twisted, as this
is an indication Of large milk flow
Some COWS have n digestive capacity
too large for their milk producing ca
pacity. while some are the other way.
The most economical producer of milk
Is obtained when these two are bal
anced. The teats should be long and
well placed for convenience in milk
ing.
BY far the most important point in
selecting COW Is her performance
record. This shows just how much
milk and butter she can produce in n
given time. Directions for testing
COWS Will be given later.
The pedigree OF dairy cow is val
liable mainly FOR the performance rec

side Of the island, there was no flood
ing burst of sunlight through the open
door to disturb her quiet slumber. In
the second place she was 81 worn out
and exhausted, she had had so little

She might have slept longer indeed,
but that she was awakened by a great

She opened her eyes and saw within
