WHAT IS GOOD DAIRY COW?
This Can Be Determined Only by
Quality and Quantity of Her
Milk Production.
(By HENRY STEWART.)
The pail Is indeed the only true cri-
terion of the large milker and of the ,
big butter producer. One of the most |
instructive exhibits in my collection
of dairy facts is a number of life por-
traits of great milkers and butter
cows; but it would puzzle any good
judge of such cows to select the
champion cow out of the lot of over
50 portraits.
A heifer coming fresh in June would
have the best opportunity of making
a good udder and of course the better
the form or yielding ability of tho
udder the more the cow would be
likely to develop into a good milker.
The lirst year of a cow's life will al-
most surely make or mar the future

Proper Ventilation May Be Procured
by Having Ventilators Close to

About 60 degrees is considered a
good temperature for dairy cows. It
has been advocated by some authori-
ties that the ventilating shaft could

tem of ventilation provides that the

Inheritance does not give good
qualities any further than to enable
the offspring of good parents to de-
velop by the aid of their natural in-
herited abilities the good character of
the parents The inheritance is only
developed by proper training and it is
the best culture of natural abilities
which develops the possibilities of
them. This training must start from
the day of the heifer's birth and con-
tinue, without failure, until the cow
so reared develops into the maturity
of her powers.
There are Instances In which this
natural ability may have been made
dormant by neglect and for years the
cow has shown no special excellence
either as a milker or as n butter pro-
ducer, until accident has brought out
the dormant natural ability. It is also
true that good millers can be made
as well as being born. It is well known
that calves may be brought to milk
when a few months old by the mere
massa • of the udder, which stimu-
lates Its growth and premature devel-
opment.

that, the calf of a superior milker may and leaned forward ltnpr

"Yes." she admitted, frowning, "if
you want to talk about it tllb way, I

"All right." he said, "don't get
warm. Wait a bit."
! He arose to his feet and consulted
a slip of paper which he took from
Ills pocket. Immediately thereafter
he threw his shoulders back, shot
his cuffs and made a comprehensive
, gesture.
"Madam," said he, "are you aware
that according to the last government
censiui there was, in the state of
New York, an excess of *>.">,000 fe-
males? Do you know that if every
single male was m«pried to-morrovr
there would be tla.OOO females lefl

She tapped her little foot upon the
carpet, but answered him not.
"And you, madam!" he cried, wig-
gling his index finger at her. "What

Did you know this?"
He pointed his finger at her again.
"And you, madam!" he cried
"That ground have you for supposing
that your chances are better than
those of the girl next door or the girl
across the street?"
"Twenty-five, eh?" she asked.
"Yes, he said, eyeing her
sternly.
"Twenty-five, eh9" she sniffed.
With an impatient movement he re-
turned to his oratorical manner.
"Do you know " said he, "that on
account of th* unprecedented rise in
rents, food fcd clothing, the number
of marringes is falling off daily? That
every day a woman's chance of mat-
rimony grows distinctly less, to say
nothing of the decrease in her chances
on account of the increase in her age?

lie pointed Ills inexorable finger at
her and cried—
"And you, madam! What right

She tried to pass it off with a
laugh, but nevertheless she batted
her eyes in a thoughtful manner.

posal of marriage as an every-day oc-

ventilators should extend within a
i few inches of the floor, says Hoard's
i Dairyman. The Intakes should open
out near the base of the barn and in
at the celling. The accompanying
illustrations show how intakes for
fresh air are built and the construc-
tion of the ventilator.
By extending the ventilator close to
the floor the coldest and most vit 1-

If the ventilator opens at the celling
