 j. H. Putnam Speaks. J. H. Putnam of Iituhdeid Hills. who has one of the finest Jersey heUdR in tAe state, spoke on Breeding the dairy cow or ten years work with the milk records" There are two essentials to successful dairy WoCk-$he man and the COW. The man must have more than the ordinary intelligence and be interested and persistent in his work.
 There are two ways to get a, good cow-to buy or to raise her. Breed a COW if you want a good one and be particular about the selection of stock and then of it's development He ad- vised Jersey or Guernsey breeds for creamery, butter or good milk trade. The Jersey makes g pound of butter fat cheaper than any other COW. He approved of registered animals, but they even may be 8 scrub. Never mix Dloods He had milk records which he explained at some length. He said never to raise a calf which will not be a good COW. Do not let them get too fat and feed grain as soon as they know how to use it, and give them plenty of fresh air. He does not de- 1 horn his cattle, but thought it wise 1 to do in constantly buying new COWS and mixing the herds. He said a sum- ner sllo was coming to be a necessity His summer feed is cabbage, fed twice 1 a day, directly after milking. and he never has had bad results. He also 1 gives beet pulp as an appetizer.
