through shey sons than through her
daughters.
Another point that should not be neg
lected, especially if milk or cream is
being sold. is buying COWS subject to
the tuberCulin test. 1t is definitely
known that tuberculosis can be trans
mitted from COWS to man through the
milk. 1t will pay to keep only cows
that are known to be free from dis
ease. In the hands of an experienced
veterinarian the tuberculin test can be
relied on to give satisfactory results.
Selecting the Bull.
The selection Of bull to head the
herd is of fully as great Importance as
the selection OF the cows. The main
points to look for in a dairy bull are
quality, constitution and roominess of
barrel. He should be of good DISPOSE
ton, but should show plenty of mascu-
Unity in strong head and a thick
crest. A bull that looks like a cow
will not have the ability to reproduce
his good points in his offspring with
any degree of certainty. The bulls
pedigree is also important The rec
Ords of his mother and other female
ancestors are very good indications of
the inherent milk producing qualities
that he possesses.
In most cases it pays to breed dairy
COWS for fall calving. The greatest
milk flow will then come in the winter.
when there is no field work to do.
Then when grass comes the milk flow
is stimulated. and the COW is kept up
to her maximum production for the
calye in the spring are put on dry feed
in the fall the milk yield is reduced
ard the total yearly product lessened.
The cow should always be dried up
at least three weeks before cafving,
even if she is still giving q consider
able quantity of milk. She will come
through the ordeal of calving in enough
better shape to make up for the milk
lost. A day or two previous to calv-
ing she should be shut up by herself
somewhere and given lOosenIng and
cooling feeds. such as bran masEfes
with a little oilmeal added Some
one should always be with the cow
when she calves in order to- render any
assistance that may be necessary,

Selecting the Cows.
If dairying is to be made a prominent
feature of the farming operations it
will pay to go 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 it
effectively and breed true to type.
There is little choice between breeds
The Jerseys give very rich milk, but
are smallin size and cannot stand I'M
favorable conditions WELL Holsteins
are harder, larger and can use more
rough feed to advantage. Their calves
can be turned into quick and profitable
veal, and their large milk flow means
more skimmilk for calves and pigs.
Where milk is being sold the small per-
centage of fat is disadvantage.
Guernseys are harder than Jerseys.
They give little more milk with a lit
tie lower percentage of fat. 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 dairy cow-type. performance
and pedigree. The dairy type is gen
orally recognized as being wedge shap-
ed, wide and deep behind and mar
rover in front. The three most impor-
tant points to look for are quality, con
stitution and capacity. The skin should
be pliable and the horns and hair fine
A coarse animal is seldom a satisfac-
tory milk ana butter producer There
should be no tendency to lay on fat A
dairy COW is worked to the limit dur
ing most of her life and must have a
strong constitution to 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 a long. deep, roomy
barrel, in order to be able to handle
the amount Of feed necessary to fur
uish material for large milk yield.
Milk producing capacity is indicated
by large, we'll balanced udder, eX-
tending well forward and we'll 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 a large milk flow.
Some COWS have a 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
we'll 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 a
given time. Directions for testing
COWS will be given later.

XWYHEN properly carried on
WM dairying is one of the most
w profitable branches of live
stock farming. The work is
somewhat combining, but that is not a
serious objection as long as the profits
keep coming in. AS shown in article 5.
dairying removes less fertility from
the farm than any other branch of
live stock farming. Dairying is adapt
ed to many localities where general
farming cannot be carried on. Low,
wet land or that too billy to be cult
waited can be proftabiy utilized as
pasture for dairy COWS. There is lit
tie danger of the dairy business being
oyerdone. AS population increases, the
demand for dairy products becomes
greater. The dairy COW produces food
more economically than any other
class of farm animals
In starting in the dairy business the
type of cow to select will depend
largely on conditions. For the gen
eral farm, where dairying is more or
less of side issue the dual purpose
COWS have many advocates. They give
fair amount Of milk and produce
calves that feed into satisfactory beef
animals. The worst trouble with dual
purpose COWS is that they cannot be
bred true to type with any degree of
certainty. Once in awhile an extra

BUSINESS WOMEN AND MARRIAGE.

Some one has said that after a bust
ness woman marries her independence
in money matters makes the husband a
side issue. A wife is likely to say, IT
can do what | please with my own
money, She will take business trips
every time it suits her convenience.
She may or may not coz mt of her
other half. Her temper, held under
control during business hours, is not
always held thus for domestic use.
Children are not beloved by the busi-
ness woman. She is egotistic, and no
matter how practical in business af-
fairs, she wants to be the whole show
in the family circle. Such a wife will
do more to spoil a business mai than
anything except rum, gambling and
immortality.
Such a wife has excellent qualities,
but they are business qualities, not
the domestic kind. 1t is hard. to say
that a mutual interest exists, rather a
platonic partnership.

USEFUL FOR TRAVELLING.

A money bag to use when travelling
is quite as necessary as ones purse,
to carry extra money in. and to con-
ceal it about ones person. One can
be made similar to a sponge case,
about four inches wide, using white OF
tan linen, and em~broidering the front
with a simple design or the initials.
The front and back can be button
holed together plain, or In small seal
lops, with a flap in front, fastened with
a pearl button and loop. The channels
lining Is made separately to slip in
and out. so the case can be ~laundered.
A ribbon or light weight chain is at
tached to the bag to be worn around
the neck, when in use.
