The Profitable Dairy Cow.

The dairy COW must be studied from the point of view of her development around four centers. CD The milk producing center, indicated by the development of the udder, the milk veins and the milk walls; (2) the digestive center as found in the barrel or body of the COW; (3) the respira- tory and circulatory center. located in the chest; and (4) the nervous center as manifested in development of head and back and in the general lean appear ance of the animal. In the de- velopment of these centers the tendency is for the animal to be larger in the rear half of the body, being broader and deeper than in the forequarters and a strong development in the lower half of the body. Therefore look for the development which appears light in front and deep and broad behind. This devel- opment assures the largest ca pacity for the consumption and utilization of feed and for the production of milk. In order to secure this type of body there must be a large development of the udder, being carried up high behind and we'll forward, with a rounding out and even development Of all four quarters. The tests should be placed at the corners of a square on the bot tom of the udder. There should Joe a mellowness and elasticity to the skin that covers the udder and when the udder is milked out it should not retain it's shape but appear almost as folds of skin. The milk veins should be large, long and very crooked.
 In the development of the body a straight, strong back with broad loin and ribs that are long and we'll sprung are desired, because they form a great roomy barrel. The rump sholud be long, broad and level and more or less angular. The principal impression given by a we'll developed body is that of great capacity. The animal should be fairly deep down through the shoulders and broad between the front legs, and just back of them, giving plenty of room for the heart and lungs. There should be a general mel lowness and looseness to the skin and a lean condition of the animal. A smoothness of body secured by a tendency to put on fat while the animal is giving milk is undesirable. In connec- ton with all these characters the COW should have an active, alert and decidedly feminine appear ance.

Sanitation And Public Health.

biNiSiOIl Ol ENIcIlSlOn, OHiNtTSl. ty of Arkansas.
 Fayetteville. Ark.
 Throughout the country there is a growing interest in sanita- tion and public health. The i'm provement of the sanitary con. ditions of cities and towns is en- gazing the attention of men and women both within and without the medical profession. People are no longer willing to look upon disease as a visitation of providence. an unavoidable evil, but are demanding protec- tion from the scourges and plaques which have effected mankind for centuries. In fact. the whole trend of progress in bacteriology und sanitation is along the lines of prevention of disease and of eradicating the conditions which make i'll health possible.
 The state health departments. as well as the boards of health of cities and towns, are begin ming to educate the people in the methods of hygenic living. The individual as a unit in the social aggregate is a potent factor in the health conditions of his com- munity. One malarial person entering a community where that disease is unknown may be- come a center of infection, and ultimately through the agency of the anopheles mosquito pass the disease on to hundreds. Hence the method of attack in this campaign must be the edu- cation of the individual. In a great many states. bulletins dealing with health subjects are distributed among the people at frequent intervals. In this way, it is hoped to do away with some of the evils caused by the ignor- ance of the basic principles and facts of clean and healthful liv- ing.
 The task of education is not entirely left to the local physi- clan. A part of this task at least belongs to the state univer- sity. and the Univerity of Ark ansas now desires to make al beginning by offering a cores pondence course in sanitation and public health. This will en- able as many as desire to avail themselves of this opportunity to become acquainted with the problems and to learn the facts requisite to a solution. While the course is open to individuals. it is also intended to be of bene- fit to boards of health. health officers, and particularly to teachers in the rural schools. One live teacher in a rural con- munity who has an adequate knowledge of the facts of sanita- tion and hygiene can within a few years lay a foundation that will in the course of time trans form the health conditions of that community. People are sometimes suspicious of a physi- elan who breaches the doctrine of health and sanitation. think ing that what he says is merely shop talk but no such imputa- tion can be made to the teacher,
 As occasion may offer, lectures dealing with the subject of sani- tation. public health. and hygiene will be delivered before interest ed groups in any part of the state, the only cost being the actual expenses of the lecturer. Through the university exten- sion, personal correspondence will be answered.

GOOD HINTS ABOUT FENCING
Of Importance to Note Shape Of Fieids
Because II Has Much 70 Do With
Material Needed.

When building fences note the
shape Of the fields. because It has
much TO do with the amount Of fencing
and material required to inclose OF re-
construct il.
Thus: A square ten.acre field is 40
rods each way, and will therefore need
half mile Of fencing
A ten-acre field four times as long
as wide is sOx20 rods, and will conse-
ouently require 200 rods OF fence, or
40 rods more than before; so that a
square field needs less fencing than an
oblong one of the same size. This is
point not often thought Of by a good
many.
