The Dairy Cow.

The dairy COW must be studied from
the point Of view of her development
around four centers: /. The milk
producing center, indicated by the de-
vslopment of the uddsr, the milk veins
and the milk wells. 2. The digsstive
center a. found in the harrel or body Of
the COW. 8. The respiratory and circu-
latory center, located in the chest.
The nervous center as manifested 10 de-
velopment of head and back and In the
general lean appearance Of the animal
In the development 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 fore.
quarters, and q strong development in
the lower half Of the body. Therefore,
look for the development which appears
light in front and deep and broad be-
hind. This development assures the
largest capacity for the consumption
and utilization Of feed and for the pro-
duc,ion Of milk. In order to secure
this type of bony body, there must be
large development of the udder, being
carried up high behind and we'll for
ward, with rounding ont and even de.
velopment Of all four quarters. The
teats should bs placed at the corners of
a square on the bottom of the udder.
There should DO mellowness and elias
Iicity to the skin that covers the udder,
and when the udder Is MIXED 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 great
rOOmy barrel. The pump should be
long, broad, and level, and more or less
angular. The principal impression
given by a welldeveloped body is that
VI great capacity. The animal should
be fairly deep down through the shoul-
iers, and broad between the front legs
and just back of them, giving plenty Of
room for the heart and lupgs. There
should be q general mellowness and
ooseness to the skin and lean condi-
ton OF the animal. A smoothness Of
body secured by tendency to put on
lat while the animal is giving milk is un-
desirable. In connection with all these
the COW should have an &C.
live, alert and decidedly effeminate ap-
pearance.
