CHOOSING BREEDING STOCK.
Some Points to Remember When Sc
lecting Cows and Bulls.

Some Points to Remember When Sc
lecting Cows and Bulls.
In selecting dairy cattle the real test
must be the scales and the Babcock
tester The COW is a machine to con-
vert food into milk; thus she must have
a large middle and a strong constitu-
ton to insure best results. She must
also have a large udder, large milk
wells, large crooked milk veins and
good sized teats. Her head should be
lean and angular in appearance, with
the eyes standing out prominently. The
neck should be rather long and lean In
appearance, the shoulders pointed and
the backbone rather prominent. The
skin SHOULD be loose and soft to the
touch
In selecting herd bulls either mature
animals which have already demon
strated their worth as sires or younger
animals from high testing dams and
sires only should be used. The best
and surest results will always follow
the use of a mature sire which has
sired heifers with good records.
good dairy bull should be kept until
he is twelve or fifteen years ole-in
fact, as long as he is Il sure sire. Real
good sires are so rare that when we do
find one he should die only Of old age.
All breeders Of dairy cattle should Sc
cure yearly tests on each and every
COW in the herd. Shorter tests do not
really mean very much. 1t is the COW
that stays by her job that is really
valuable. w j. Kennedy, Iowa Ex-
pertinent Station.

method to store and market wool in
bags, as it is the more likely to be kept
clean.
The bags should be closely woven SO
they will effectively keep out dust and
dirt. They should also be of a type
that will not shed particles of fiber
into the wool.
The closely woven jute bags com
monty used are satisfactory in neither
particular. If the clip is contracted
for before it is shorn and immediate
delivery is planned it is not necessary
to bag the wool unless at the request OF
the purchaser.
If it is packed in clean wagon box
and a canvas is thrown over the top 1t
can be delivered in desirable condition.

Care of Brood Mares.

Brood mares should, of course, be
well sheltered both in summer and
winter. but not to the exclusion of
plenty of sunlight, fresh air and exer-
else. Handle them carefully and feed
intelligently Give the mare mini
mum Of corn and a maximum of pro-
tein bearing feed, such as oats, bran
and alfalfa. When she is not work
or lot. with an open shed to protect
her from heat or sudden storms.

Some Folks Consider Their Milk Bet
ter Than That of Cows.
Having noticed in the journals de
voted to rural and suburban life
number of articles on the milk goat.
wish to add a bit Of my own ex-
perience, as it may help others who
are trying to solve the vexing ques-
ton of the high cost of living, says
a correspondent of the American Ag-
riculturist
The keeping of milk goats will cut
the high cost of living of one very i'm.
portant item, and that is milk. Milk to
be good and wholesome should be
free of tuberculosis. and that Is an
ailment that the goat is not subject
to. The milk is equal to, and | con-
slider it better than, the best of COW
milk.
The cost of keeping goats where
you have to buy all the feed is about 5
cents a day per head. Six months
of the year the cost is practically moth
ing If you have lawn or some back
land where the grass grows, as that
will keep them very nicely. No grain
is necessary when they can have all
the grass they want. Goats should
not be tethered on the same spot two
days in succession. 1t is better to give
them about eight feet of rope or light
chain and shift them once day.
A goat that will give two and a half
quarts a day is considered a very
good one OF course there are those
that give more, but they are fewer
than those that give less The Toggen-
burg and Saanen breeds are considered
the best mixers adapted to American
climates

IF YOUR HORSE HAS BOTS.
Get After These Pests Before They In
jure Animal Beyond Remedy.

Take a piece Of soft cloth or waste
moistened with coal oil and rub over
the legs and shoulders Of horses infest
ed with bot eggs or nits: otherwise
writes E. T. Baker, veterinarian, Idaho
experiment station, the horse licks the
eggs off his body, the saliva dissolves
the shell Of the egg, the larva is swal-
lowed and develops in the stomach.
Few persons realize how much dam
age bots really cause to a horse. Each
bot is firmly attached to the stomach
wall, and after they drop off the small
puncture develops into an ulcer that
does not heal. Prevention is better
than cure

For Breeders of Trotters.

Some knowledge Of the law of heredi-

breeder possesses the greater will be

Deed of Kindness.

The benevolent old gentleman got busy when he saw four boys, eight or nine years of age, attack one boy about the same age.
 "You mustn't, you mustn't" he said when he had hauled them off, attack your little companion this way. What has he done to deserve such harsh treatment?"
 The four boys glowered sullenly, while the one boy whimpered as he thought what would happen to him when the benevolent old gentleman went on his way.
 "Well," said one of the four at last, "he won't join the band of kindness our teacher wants to get up in our school. Chicago Inter Ocean.

Golf That Is Mostly Ball Hunting.

There are two sorts of golf. One Is where you do not hunt for the ball. Those who play the other sort are never found in the cham pionship records. They traverse the links with amateur caddies or with no caddies at all. They sally out in twos, threes or fours and play all against all. They expect to spend most of the time in ball hunt ing, which they have reduced to science. They spread out in a line and walk the suspected area, each rallying to the others need. Only when the ball is found does the game continue, and the players are lucky if they do nine holes before luncheon.-London Globe.

SEEING THE GRAND CANYON.
Look at It With Your Own Eyes, Not
 Through Those of Others.


 In describing how it feels to look for the first time into the depths of the Grand canyon it has become customary for literary folk to DOT tray their sensations in some such striking way as this:
 "One glance was enough. My brain reeled, and l recoiled in gris- ly terror from the brink. Casting myself upon my knees and clasping my companion about his, 1 besought him with tears to take me away"
 Now, if before visiting Arizona had visited the travel alcove of the public library l, too, would doubtless have known some of this grisly terror on reaching the fla nous brink. But as my habit is not to read about places until after see ing them through eyes unbespec- tacled by literature the mile depth of the abyss, actually terrorized me no more than had the deeps of the smiling Yosemite.
 Indeed, that first glimpse did not awe or intimidate me at all. It fill ed me instead with a chaotic sense of power and tranquil beauty and sublimity that deepened, strength ened, clarified as the confused mass es of dome and battlement and spire, of. fretted cornice and pin nacle, terrace and turret below gradually disengaged and defined themselves and as the variety and marvel of color scheme sank into my soul-a color scheme as protean as that of an ingot of white hot steel cooling rapidly under sunset sky.
 In looking over the standard ac- counts of literary terror at first sight of the canyon one wonders why they should be so curiously suited. It is almost as though some pioneer word painter of the canyon had seen it first at some par ticularly forbidding moment; as though subsequent writers, having studied his account before the jour ney, had instructed their emotional systems to behave no less wildly than his had behaved.
 The result Is that under the in- fuence of their hysterical writings many tourists arrive expecting to shrink from a grisly inferno and accordingly shrink from a grisIy inferno, while others, sincerer and less suggestible, not feeling in the least neurotic, are slightly disap- pointed both in the place and in themselves, for this canyon has been just as much injured by hay ing its somberness laid on too thick as that other Grand canyon up in the Yellowstone has been injured by having its gorgeousness laid on too thick.-Robert Haven Schauf- fer in Metropolitan Magazine
