THE BREED TO KEEP,'
A Question Tfeat an Experienced Ma I
Kladrft Hard to Anavrer.
J. A. T. wants to start dairying on
bis farm and asks what breed of cowi
ho bad better adopt, what breed I have
and If they arc satisfactory. A dozen
years ago I could bare answered this
question rather posltlvcly.nud definite
ly, as I could a good many other direct
questions, but It Is wonderful what an
effect half a score of years of sevcro
practical experience on the farm and
careful observation have in muklng a
man conservative, soya L. W. Ughty
In Natloual Stockman and Farmer. He
will not venturo to tell n man just
what he Is to do nnd how bo is to do It
Some of tits finest (?) plans would not
work out (u his own bauds. How could
he expect them to do bo secondhand?
In selecting n breed of cows for
dairying i) person should consider him
self nud his environments. Tho breed
that n person admires most Is likely to
prove tho best In hlq hnnds If carefully
studied and properly handled. For
dairy purposes It Is of courso advisable
to select a, typical dairy breed, though
I havo known men to mnko at lenu a
partial success with n beef breed,
though not typical beef cows. It might
possibly bo helpful to tho questioner
and others In selecting n breed of cat
tle to mention n few of the chief char
acteristics of a few of tho commonest
dairy breeds. Tho Channel Island cat
tle tJerscys and Guernseys) were orig
inated nnd bred on the Islands of this
name, whero the climate Is not nearly
as severe as Iti our northern states. If
wo turn tho Island cow with our native
and then tiso our old methods of little
or no shelter lu winter nnd compel the
cowh to hustle over the hills for their
feed In .summer, tho native Is likely to'
como out ahead. The same Is true of
llolstelus. In their native home, the
Netherlands, they often shnro part of
the house with the family, l'eed la
abundant and of the right kind. Their
bodies sue very heavy, and their bones
ore not constructed to travel tulles over
hills nud valleys to find n day's living.
I know men who hnvo lots of rough
laud that furnishes some pasture and
who are opposed to "babying" cows, as
they put It, who keep Ayrshlres with
very good lesults. Their native homo
Is a cold and rough country and pro
.duces good, rugged stock. Tho Swiss
are credited with the same qualities,
liut do not fur a moment think that
nny breed can be had that will bear
neglect, only that some are better bus
tlers thnn others.

temporaneous speaking ho Invited bis
congregation the next Sunday morning
to hand in any texts they would like
lilm to preach from, when ke would
show them what he was able to do,"
relates the Chicago Record-Herald. "In
order that he might not be suspected of
surreptitious preparation the passages
of Scripture were to bo written upon
slips of paper, scaled up n envelopes
and placed upon the pulpit Immediate
ly beforo the opening of the service.
The next Sunday morning tho paBtor
came bounding lu, pride nnd confidence
gleaming In his eyes, nnd found a num

he would preach from tlio text con
