COWS FOR DAI It \"MEN . The cow for the dairyman, says I“. H Scribner, is the one that can make the most profit in milk. butter or cheese for the feed consumed, Just. what breed does not matter so much. It depends entirely upon the disposi- tion, taste and education of the. dairyman. There are some people Who are naturally fitted to take hold of special purpose dairy cattle and make a success with them, while others require a fitting before they will be successful and perhaps never‘ will reach the that some do. The man who is progressive enough to get started along some dairy line of breeding, has born or created in him something of the next. essential element to good dairying, and that is good feeding. To be a good breed- er, then, is to be a good feeder, and state of perfection on the other hand. to be a feeder isl to be a good breeder. The two are inseparable. One cannot exist to the highest point of perfection without the other. The well bred animal in the hands of a poor feeder is a far‘ Worse proposition than the poorly bred one in the hands of a good feedâ€" l er. If. has been my ill fortune to do some judging of the dairy breeds at fairs, and T have. judged them all from the standpoint of the dairyman. The cow wins, that, in my judginth could bring in the most money with the least cost. It is often said that the dairyman does not need to look so closely afâ€" ter some of the fancy points of breeding. This is true in a measure. but I think toâ€"day the two classes. the breeder and the dairyman, are more alike than they have ever been before: the breeder giving in to some of the. more nonâ€"eSSi-ntial points and the. dairyman who is looking out for his best interests and for the best. products from his cows has his eye out to a large. number of the so~ called fancy points, which, after all. contribute something to the make- up of A FIRST-CLASS DAIRY COW. In looking;r over many of the reports from men who have been through the country, I find that the dairynian who has tried to improve the stock by introducing into his herd a thor~ oughbred sire of some of the distinct dairy breeds is the one who has reaâ€" lized the most. profit every time. I Want dairymen to have the best cows and if I speak of the special purpose dairy cow and do it. forcibly it is because I believe the dairymun who is doing anything short. of this is not living up to the full possibilities of his business. ’ As I travel through the country and see the condition stock is in and how they are. cared for and the feeds used, 1 am inclined to think that perhaps there is a place for the comâ€" mon, or dual purpose cow, until such a time as he shall turn over a new leaf, "Quit his meanness,” as Sam Jones says, and improve his ways of feeding and caring for his stock. I have been in places in winter where cows are kept out of doors all winter, with a run in the corn field, a. little poor hay and the straw stack for shelter. Would the strict- ly dairy cow be able to do business under theseconditions'? She might possibly survive, but the idea of profit would be entirely'out of the question, for it would take at least the best half of the summer for her to pull body and soul together, and by that time she would have got all out of the notion of giving much milk. Dairy type is not an accident, and there is good sense in every point of make up. In the matter of judging in "wiry cow there is nothingr so rcâ€" li:.f.l«‘ as the milk scale and the llabrr ‘cock tesler. but a prospective buyer .in some cases, or if bulge in the show .rinu. must have a way ijudginp, and he must the abili- (piitikei' (:5 ha \'e (y to Ferment/e at a szluncr- lhe sigms‘ .which have pron-n to be the evidence ,of the true dairy type. ; invariably the leading characteris- ‘tics of a good dairy cow are :1 gstrong development of stomach and .‘uddcr: not overdeveloped, but enough :to indicate ability and do a lot of igood hard work, large, miltl and prominent eyes: broad forehead, ibroad nlumle and wide nostrils: the ‘wi-dpe shape of the body; as intilcaté ('(l by plenty of room. for heart and ilungs: um] general .‘imieamnce.

The floor. therefore. must1 be made of some hard substance. which is not brittle, and does not i100 readily break up. The best ma- terial for this purpose is concrete or I’mtland cement, though a useful ifloor can also be made with a mixâ€" ture of tar and gravel, stamped and :rammed into a solid block. Care .must. however. be taken in this case 3not to let it be exposed too long to the sun's rays, lest the tar melt .and make the whole. surface soft. lBricks cannot. be recommended unless .they are new and unbroken, and aref llaid in cement at least six inches' deep, and even then they are liable |to chip and crack, which is a great. idisadvantnge as puddles are sure to come.

Sickness comes, sooner or later the life of e\eryone,. Many who in for ‘years have enjoyed the best of health are suddenly sci'led with some one of ithe numerous ills of life. Most of the ills! result from an impoverished condition of the blood; thus if the blood is enriched the trouble will ‘disappear. That is why Dr. Wilâ€" liams Pink I‘ills have had a. greater than any other medicine in world in curing sick and ailing These pills actually make .ucw. rich, red blood, strengthen every nerve in the body and in this way make people well and strong. Mr. Alphonee Lacoussiere, wellâ€" known young farmer of St. Leon, Que, proves the truth of these state- ments. He says :â€"â€"“Ab0ut a, year ithe :1 ago my blood gradually became im- poverished. I was weak, nervous, and generally run down. Then sudâ€" denly my trouble was aggravated by pains in my kidneys and bladder, and day by day I grew so much worse that finally I was unable to rise without aid. I consulted doc- tors, but any relief I obtained from their medicine was only temporary and I began to despair of ever belng well again. One day I read an ar- ticle in a newspaper praising Dr. Williams Pink Pills and I decided to try them. I got six boxes and beâ€" fore they were all gone my condition was so greatly improved that I knew I had at last found a medicine to cure me. 1 continued the use of the pills for a while longer, and every symptom of my trouble was gone, and l have since enjoyed the- best of health. I think, so much of Dr. Wilâ€" ‘linnis I’ink l’ills that I am never without them in the house.” It is because Dr. Williams Pink lPlllS make new blood that they cure .such diseases as anaemia. rheumaâ€" ltism, kidney and liver troubles, neur- algia, indigestion andall. other ail- ments due to poor blood.

To begin with. their diet is exâ€" tremely plain and simple. consisting ,as it does of rice. salt lish, and unâ€" l . .sweetened tea, with now and then a small amount of tinned beef, fresh beef, chickens and eggs thrown in as ‘luxuries. Their food is in no Way different from what they are accusâ€" tomes to. and it is prepared, cooked, and served exactly as it is at home. In opposition to this. other civilized armies immediately begin living on highlyâ€"concentrated and heating foods in the field. Lacking variety and craving the. things they are accusâ€" tomed to at home, they drink large quantities of lyeâ€"strong coffee, and gorge themselves with hard-tack, bacon. stringy canned beef, and jam. and, in consequence, bring on a whole train of stomach and intestinal trouâ€" bles, and, by general loss of tenacity in the system, open the door for worse diseases. Again, we find the Japanese soldi- er furnished with a metal bottle, in place of a water canteen, which perâ€" mits him to boil his water easily. That he always does this is hardly probable, but, in View of the fact that the Japanese prefer hot water to coldâ€"when they are in camp or stop by the wayside for a long wait, they will always be found sipping hot water from their alluminum drinkingâ€"cupsâ€"it may be safely said that they run much less risk of conâ€" tracting disease from the water they drink than the average army. Of course, what they like more than anything else as a beverage is a very weak (lecoction of plain kot green tea, and betwoen the damage done to the stomach by half a dozen tiny cups of weak tea and a quart of inky black coffee, there can be no comparison. The fact should not be lost sight of that the Japanese soldier. by 'his preference for hot drinks, never chills JUST ONE DAY. From the Slugger Brought out a Fact.
