one of the essential functions Of the
dairy cow. Although the barrel should
be large, it should not sag away from
the backbone into what Is popularity
called a pot belly" leaving loose skin
in the flank, nor swing when the ami
NAL walks. This indicates an objec'
tionable weakness in the abdominal
muscles, which should hold the barrel
close up to the backbone.
Loins.-The lOins are that portion OF
the backbone just in front of line
drawn between the hip bones and eX-
tending forward to the beginning Of
the short ribs The lolns should be
broad and strong. A sag or drop in this
section of the back indicates weakness.
A lack of width in this region is caused
by short processes on each side Of the
backbone.
Hind Quarters, Hip Bones.-The hip
bones should be wide apart and promi-
nent.
Rump.-Thc rump should be long,
wide and level. The length is measur-
ed from the hips to the pin bones. The
rump is level when a plane passed
through the top of the hip and pin
bones is horizontal. y high pelvic
arch is not desirable. The pelvic arch
is incloSed by the spinal column and
the pelvic bones. The joints Of this
arch constitute the hip and pin bones,
and this region contains the greater
part of the reproductive organs in
which the calf develops. 1t is asserted
by some breeders that short rump IS
associated with a short udder and a
sloping rump with sloping udder.
Pin Bones. - These bones are the
parts of the pelvis which are on each
side of the tail. They should be promi-
nent, widely spaced and on a level
with the hips. Low placed pin bones
are the cause Of n sloping rump,
Thighs.-The inner surface of the
thighs should be thin and curved out
so as to give ample room for the I'D
der. Beefy, thick thighs are an OBJ
lection, as they do not indicate spe-

Germs, the Banee-Aiemann Transatlan-
tice and the Banco Germanies de Ia
America del Sud. are the principal
agencies. These and some others
have been placed on what may be
termed an informal blacklist, Il was
explained today. but definite and final ac-
tion TO stop their activities cannot
be taken until the trading with the
enemy act IS passed by Congress.
Once the act Is passed. the Admin

Cour to-day for a writ of mandamus
to compel the Interstate Commerce
Commission to re-establish the old
system Of transfers between the Capt.

The list Of complainants Is headed
by c. Z. James. an attorney OF Blue
mont, Va. who has offices in the
Southern building. There are six 9TH
er complainants, all Of whom are Gov

ing Of the question Of transfers be-
tween the two lines was held on jan
uary last. and a petition for q re-
