The characteristics OF a good
dairy COW are large hips, small
shoulders. thin and clean cut neck
large bowel. deep chest. large nd.
der well projected behind. and large
tortuous milk veins These arc
some OF the outward signs. but the
true merits OF the good COW are
high performances at the milking
pail. A COW must not only look
well, but she must do well to be
worth keeping. II has been found
that under average farm conditions
it costs about s25 per year to feed
COW. and that the average COW
gives gross yield OF about $50 in
milk.
This leaves about SIS for the
care and shelter OF the COW for a
year. A really good COW will con-
sumo possibly $50 in the best OF
feeds and gives 800 worth OF milk,
making a profit to the owner OF
$50, or twice as much as the aver
age COW.
BY regularly testing the individ-
uals of the herd and culling out
the poor and average cows. keeping
only those that pay a profit of $50
or more a year. there would be few
er complaints that there is no mon
ey in cows,
When heifer calf Is to be
saved for a future mixer see that
she has the characteristics OF good
COW; then feed and care for her In
such manner that she will de-

NAL. Good heifers should have a
rugged constitution, but the refin-
ed appearance OF the good mixer.
Breed the older best cows and tho
good ,heifers to the best bull of the
chosen breed, a bull whose ances-
tors have large milk record. There
are ways OF making good dairy cows
from poor or average" cows. New
er condemn COW because she seems
poor and does not show all the OUT
ward markings Of the model good
COW. Give her the best OF shelter
and an abundance OF nutritious food
and see what she actually can do
under these better conditions. May
be you will find she is poor COW
because she is given poor attention
and poor feeds. #

NOTES OF THE FARM.
THE VALUE TOF BIRDS TO THU
FARMER.

FAhMEK.
THE time has come when every
sportsman should put away his gun
for five years at least" said Col. y.
o. Shields during lecture upon
Birds and Animals of America" at
the University OF Chicago two weeks
ago.
Col. Shields argued that drastic
measures must be put into effect IL
quail, grQnse. pheasants and parairie
chickens are to be saved from ex-
tinction. The humiliation Of these
birds, he said, would mean untold
poverty resulting from the scarcity
OF crops which would be eaten by
insects.
Ninety per cent of the normal
bird life of this country already has
been destroyed and the other 10
per cent. will go in the next five
years unless strong measures are
employed to stop the slaughter" he
said Careful scientists tell us that
If all the insect-eating birds were
destroyed the whole continent would
within three years, become unin-
by reason OF the myriads
OF insects that would spring up and
devour every living thing.

the quail's great enemy. I have met
with some contradiction from bird
dog owners. but most OF them agree
with me that more birds are destroy

who sowed the grain and titled tho
