Raise More Cows.

We say to dairy farmers that there
was never time in the worlds history
when the market prospect was as en-
couraging for the raising of COWS to sell
az now. The demand is ahead OF the
supply and is likely TO continue so.
What is very significant is that cows are
decreasing in the dairy districts of the
East. So much 50, indeed, that Boston
is obliged TO send 400 miles for her milk
in some cases, while there is falling off
in the supply and the number of cows in
the nearby sectious of New England.
But right along with this increase Of
demand for cows runs demand equal
iy insistent that they be we'll bred cows.
Not pure bred, but cows from registered
sires of the dairy breeds. That is the
market demand. Any farmer can see in
which direction the wind lies by noting
that the buyers don't want his Shorthoru
or Devon grades, nor indeed his native
cows even if they are good ones. Just
why farmer will persist in raising such
cows in face of the strong demand for
Hoistein, Ayrshire, or Guernsey grades
for market milk purposes is amazing.
But for the man that notes the signs
of the times, who exercises good busi-
ness, as we'll as dairy sense, and pro-
vides himself with sire of strong pre-
potency, there is no better business to-
day than the raising of desirable cows.
There is no prospect Of a falling off in
the demand. The indications are all the
ether way. With good corn enslage,
pasturage, and clover or alfalfa hay, a
heifer can be raised cheaply and we'll to
COW age. 1t is good chance to turn
your grass, coarse fodder and all, into
good money a, profit.-Hoard's Dairy
man.

The Two Standards.

The breeder of pure-bred dairy cattle
has one of two standards to guide him
in his efforts and ambitions. One is to
produce one or, perhaps, a few phenom-
eual COWS that shall attract attention TO
his herd aud act as An advertisement for
the sale of all his surplus at enhanced
prices, a policy which will end in disap.
pointment to most purchasers, who Will
find that they have paid price for the
many based upon the excellence Of a
few. This is the commercialized side OF
the case aud one which We regret to say
is taken by quite a large number OF
breeders.
The other standard may be defined as
breeding for the highest development
possible of the whole herd, high gener.
al average. To do this no single or few
COWS will be crowded and strained to
their utmost, but close watch and rec
ord will be kept of the highest attain,
ments of each under natural and rea-
sonable method OF feeding and hand
ling. The object will be to keep the
very best cows at work in the herd as
long as possible that az many of their
progeny may be saved to future useful
ness as is possible. The after record OF
the most of these great historic cows
that stand out as landmarks for the herd,
leads us to believe that as a rule, about
all of their future usefulness and value
as breeding stock has been sacrificed to
the one purpose of single phenomenal
record. Some may say that the object
was well worth the sacrifice for the no.
toriety they gave the breed. But there
we have the commercial view again.
Hoard's Dairyman believes in the herd
standard. We should never forget that
in the work of breeding dairy cattle we
are at work with profound physiological
as we'll as biological agencies and forces,
and that there are few If any precedents
in the breeding of other animals for 9th
or purposes that are safe to follow. The
dairy COW is "a law unto herself. -

Growing Cow Feed.

The Connecticut Farmer urges the
dairy farmers of New England to pay
more attention to growing their COW
feed on the farm. They say it can be
done and great saving in outlay of cash
will follow.
They characterize the New England
"mowings" as the product of the
hand to mouth farmer and say that
"mowipgs" neither improve the farm
nor make the farmer rich. The product of
the "mowings''-native grasses and
some timothy and red tops not the
right sort Of stuff to induce the COW to
produce milk, hence the necessity OF GO
ing to some store every day or two or
once week and bring home a load OF
grain. The Farmer claims that 1t is no
freak of imagination to calculate on
keeping COW per acre. For when one
considers that single acre OF land
we'll cultivated aud fertilizsd, is capable
of producing four tons of clover or al.
falfa, or twenty tons OF silage, or thirty
tons of beets, or fifty bushels of oats, or
forty bushels of wheat, or q hundred
bushels of shelled corn, 1t is no difficult
matter to plan rotation OF crops on ten
acres of land that will produce feed
enough to carry ten head Of cattle, a pair
of horses and have enough waste lef,
over to bed the stock and feed the pig.

The Man Behind the Cow.

Years ago the Senior Editor Of this pa
per gave an address before the Round
up Farmers Institute at Rockford, I'LL
nois, on "Ths Man Behind the Cow"
In that address we tried to show by facts
and figures that the cause OF success or
failure lay almost wholly with the @Own-
or Of the COW, to wit: that she was q
good or poor COW because he WAS re-
sponsible for her breeding and feeding.
The cows of his herd were the direct re-
suit of either his intelligence or his ig-
norance; that we never yet saw good
herd of cows that were produced by ig-
norsnce. That the great cause of loss OF
profit in dairying was because men did
not put brains enough into the business; ;
that the dollar of expense was right to
the front, but the dollar of profit was
mighty shy and could only be brought
to light by good understanding and
profit producing methods.
After the address we had quite con-
fab with several Illinois dairy farmers
" ho did not like to accept The logic of
our conclusions. We were frank to say
that this logic had held good in our own
case and in the case of every dairy farm
or we had investigated.
Since that time the spirit OF research
into causes, which is very strong just
now, is proving the truth Of our conten-
ton. 1t is no new truth. Indeed it has
always been true. Every instance of
marked improvement in the conduct of
dairy farm has come because the own
or has first been mentally improved, aud
for that reason has adopted better meth
ods. There is no other way. The in
telect of the man behind the COW must
first be aroused before We will have
better COW. II the soil suffers the own
or is responsible. If the conditions sur
rounding the cow are unsanitary, who
but the owner is to blame? So 1t will
90 down through every condition that
surrounds the COW, out of which will
come profit or loss. Solomon was right.
1.-THE wise foreseeth the evil and hideth
himself; the foolish pass on and are pun
ished." But Oh! how hard it is to take
this lesson home to ourselves .-Hoard's
Dairyman

The Farmer and His Education.

Some one has said that the difference
between youth and mature age is, that
youth hates To learn from older men.
They want to learn it all by themselves. i"
OF course, the undue self-love aud ego
tism of youth is back of that, but We
think the main cause of that trait is lack
Of contact with facts and men Of facts.
Right there, in that lack Of contact, lies
the weakness of the average farmer. As it
was in his youth SO it is in his mature
age. He has lived with himself alone
too much. Therein he differs from the
men of the town. The whole meaning
of education is wrapped up in that one
word, contact.
Show us the farmer who has kept his
N lind alive by contact with the wisest
and best thought on farming and We
will show you man of vastly different
stamp from the average. He Is eager
and quick TO learn from every source
that comes TO his hand, whether from
reading, or observation, or conversation
with better informed men. Now, the
sum of all that is what makes the sue
cessfuI, skillful farmer. 1t is the same
road precisely that the successful law
yer OE pEOlceciOuoi "uot aoNci
over-tbe road of contact. To be sure,
his line of facts and principles are differ
ent but the mental processes are the
same.
Farming is a wider field than the law
more completely filled with deeply hid
den principles but with this difference
Mistakes are fatal to the lawyer, where
as to the farmer Nature is so indulgent,
so willing to help him out, with 30 many
ways for doing the same thing, that too
often he grows dull minded and self-ex'
cusing rather than self-accusing.
The chief feature of modern farming
lies in the attention that is paid to the
mind of the farmer. For this end and
purpose are our agricultural papers, the
schools, and colleges of agriculture, and
AL the agencies of modern progress.
Principles are old as the hills and re-
main ever the same. Methods change
only as the quickeued intelligence Of the
farmer sees their relation to facts aud
principles. Without that quickened in
tslligence the true vision is denied him,
and he remains the primitive man still
even though surrounded with progress.
Haven't you seen that type of farmer?-
Hoard's Dairyman.

But of all the beautiful objects with
in Its walls. none could compare with
its mistress that radiant, girlish MI
rovna, who shared John Morts for
tunes and engrossed his entire heart
As fair as he was dark, with crisp
golden hair more red than yellow, with
captivating blue eyes and q mouth all
wantonness and dainty impudence, she
could hardly have been more than
twenty when Matt first remembered
her in Guadalcanaar. Who she was
or what she had been-actress, dancer
or exalted lady, Pole. Russian, Alba
nian or Magyar-all was mystery she
shared with her somber husband. Matt
knew nothing save that she was one
of the most adorable of women. Her
caressing and pretty friendship meant
much to him, and he repaid 1t with
the profound regard Of a man that had
no other woman In his life.
But all that was over now, to melt
forever in the swirl Of receding years.
He was probably seeing that familiar
room for the last time and those dear
er faces of his friends. Matt's heart
was very full and he faltered under
Mirovna's questioning gaze.
II cannot persuade him." said Mort,
with affected lightness, STOPPING to
kiss his wife's hand, 'the captain
abandons u.s."
There was no reproach in Mirovna's
face, rather concern and regret
I'VE have been fortunate to keep him
so long," she said, enveloping Matt In
a look of tender scrutiny. "And, oh,
for six years. always so good, so loyal,
so true hearted gentleman-surely nev-
er was another like our captain"
II have one favor to ask before
co." said Matt. somewhat huskily;
lust one favor. Onae," he went on.
