Selecting a Dairy Cow.

Away on the other side of the
world-that is, in Australian
the city of Sydney, there is
good newspaper called the Farm
Journal. AS we read it, we
realize anew the unity of the
race and the uniformity of the
laws on which agricultural sue
cess is based. The Australian
Farm Journal is preaching to it's
readers, as a new doctrine, the
value of "cowpeas" in any
scheme of farming, just as Home
and Farm has been doing for
many years. Australia is a great
grazing and a great grain coun-
try. 1t is a great dairy country,
and here are the rules laid down
by the Sydney Farm Journal Tor
selecting the dairy cow"-just
as good here in America as in
Australia:
The ideal type of a dairy cow
is not large, but bone and mus
cular, long between the nose and
eyes, with a good jaw and broad
muzzle.
A bright and prominent eye
denotes brain power. and strong
nerve force, which are both es-
sential points to be observed in
selecting dairy cow.
A good, clean-cut neck and
retreating brisket shows refine
ment in breeding and staying
qualities in the dairy.
The backbone should not be
too straight, but slightly depress-
ed behind the shoulders.
AS far as good type of
dairy cow is concerned, all breeds
are of similar types; but all great
performers have some certain,
well fixed characteristics that
distinguish them as dairy ami
mails.
No man can select good dairy
cows every time, for there are
many internal defects of which
there ear no outward appearan
ces.
Form, however, is the best
known guide to select by.
She should have a good, deep
body, showing a large capacity
for eating and digesting a large
amount of food.
She should have a good, broad
chest and large heart girth, af-
fording plenty of lung capacity.
She should have a strong loin,
with prominent hips, that are
wide apart, showing plenty of
room for the organs of materni-
ty.-Home and Farm.

1t may be easier for an actor
to forget that he has an audi
ence than that he hasn't one.
Misplaced confidence isn't al
ways the result of being absent
minded.
Many a woman never knows
her own mind because she has
never had a formal introduction
to it.
Many fellow has put up a
bluff with girl only to have her
throw him over.
No woman can manage a man
if she let's him know she is doing
it.
When an opportunity fails it
may be because it has picked out
the wrong man.

Fire in Hous is
Unsolyed Mystry

The residence Of Irwin H. AtWater

Sunday morning by Chas. Taecker. He
Immediately gave the alarm and the
occupants OF the house, who were
Mr. and Mrs. AtWater, Mrs. Houck
mother Of Mrs. Atwater, and another
daughter. were rescued.
The fire had evidently been started
on the outside of the house In small
storm house on the south side of the
house. The fire department arrived
on the scene In time to prevent the
building from being consumed and re
stricted the fire to the storm house
which was totally destroyed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Houck have been en-
gagged in the milk business on north
Midway until recently when Mrs
Houck sold the business to John
Deniger.
The couple have not lived very
happily together and the police have
been called many times during the
past year to quiet them. Mrs. Houck
recently left her husband and went
to reside with her son-in.laW, Irwin

THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER
Being the Chroncng of the First Case Up For Trial Before
Judge Cabaniss of the Recorders Court-It Was the
Everlasting Triangle With Dusky John
and Jim and Della the Angles
BY CHARLES II. MANDY

Someone has said that there can be
no real love without a tinge of jealousy
Certain it is that the sgreen-eyed mon
ster'' has been and is vet the cause OF
much trouble in this old world and sacred
and secular writer's in all ages have found
it a prolific theme for song and story.
1t Is of the havoc caused by the mon
ster aforesaid we would speak.
Yesterday morning Judge Jelks Caha-
Mss took his seat as recorder of the
police court Without any preliminaries
he called the court to ordergWith all the
"sang frod" of veteran judge, and
brislilv called the first case, which was
that of John Parsons and Jim Blake,
aristocracy, who were charged with an
affray. The primary cause of the diff
Guilty was a woman the direct cause
that passion that was the undoing of
the immortal Moor of Venice. Judge
Cabaniss proved equal to the occasion
and rendered judgment that was sat
isfactory even to the defendants attor-
ney.
Whatever may be said about the youth
of Judge cabaniss. and he is youthful
yet, he looks like a man, speaks like a
man and acts like a man lie dispatched
the business of the court without the
least embarrassment or undue delay and
in all his decisions tempered justice with
mercy.
AS soon as the two defendants appeared
before the bar Judge Cabaniss got down
to business and soon the narrowing de-
tails of the case were laid before him
The evidence showed that John Parsons
was engaged to be married to a buxom
damsel of doubtful age and a complexion
like unto that of new penny. and whose
baptismal name was Della John was
much in love with the chocolate drop of
ample proportions; so much so, that when
he met her and a gen leman ffien',
namely, the aforesaid Jim Blake taking
