POINTS THAT MARK GOOD DAIRY ANIMALS Form of Parts That Indicate Heavy Milk Production. Prepared by United States department of agriculture. In addition to the general form which marks the dairy type, there are indi vidual parts of the cow which ludlcate her ability to produce a surplus of milk. Following is a description of the more desirable form of the parts denoting heavy production: Head. The heads of the male and fe male are much the same, except that greater size and heaviness are expect ed In that of the former. As a whole the head should have a clean cut out line and be free from any coarseness of bone, flesh or skin. In the bull score card more weight Is given this part than in the cow score card, which is owing to the fact that the general character of the bull and his masculin ity are evidenced in his head. A strong, muscular muzzle and jaws in dicate ability to handle large quantities of feed. The form and quality of face, forehead, eye and horn indicate the nervous energy and refinement essen tial to productive ability. Neck. The necks of the cow and the bull are radically different That of the cow should be of medium length, slender, free from flesh and loose sklu. It should be small at the junction with the head and should join the shoulders smoothly. The neck of the bull should be of medium length, small at the head and swelling into a prominent crest The crest in the bull indicates mascu linity and should be both high and broad. Fore Quarters, Wtthers.-The withers should be sharp, the ends of the shoul der blades fitting close to the spinal processes and ending some distance below the top of them. This junction should be so smooth as to form a straight line from the top of the spinal processes down the shoulder blade "to Its junction with the foreleg. Body, Capacity, Back. It is very Important that there be great strength in this region, as the back supports the weight of the abdomen or barrel. Ribs. Flat ribs are found to be as sociated with the wedge shaped, lean appearance of the dairy animnl as com pared with the round ribs of the beef animal. Barrel. The barrel in both the male and the female should be broad, deep and full and well leld up with well sprung ribs. A good sized barrel indi cates large capacity for digesting feed. DAIRY TYPB, AYRSHIRE BREED. 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 popularly called a "pot belly," leaving loose skin in the flank, nor swing when the ani mal walks. This indicates an objec tionable wenkness in the abdominal muscles, which should hold the barrel close up to the backbone. Loins. The lolus are that portion of the backbone just in front of a line drawn between the hip bones and ex tending forward to the beginning of the short ribs. The loins 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. The 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. A 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. It is asserted by some breeders that a short rump is associated with a short udder and 'a sloping rump with a sloping udder. Pin Bones. These bones are the parts of the pelvis which are on each side of the tall. They should be promi nent, widely spaced and on a level with the hips. Low placed pin bones are the cause of a sloping rump. Thighs The inner surface of the thighs should be thin and curved out so as to give ample room for the ud der. Beefy, thick thighs are an ob jection, as they do uot indicate spe cialization in the milk producing func- (Continued on page 7) CHERRYVILLE Here we are, on deck for 1917. busy, prosperous year.

I SAVINGS SUGGESTED Funk Says Court not Capable of Road Building Without Supervisors j Redland, Ore., January 2, 1917. To the editor: As the legislature is about to con vene we see and hear of different or ganizations getting together for the purpose of securing favorable legis lation. These are persons that have an axe to grind, but what about the average taxpayer? The governor is stewing because there will be no po litical pork pot. Olcott says there will be funds enough, if we eliminate the graft, with the six per cent limi tation. Here is where we can save a little more and reduce taxation: Cut out the $1Q,000.00 appropriation for parochial institutions under our 1913 session laws, confine our colleges and the university to their millage tax. If that is not enough let them curtail operations the same as we taxpayers have to some times. Another saving could be made by holding our elections every four years, or every six years would be better, thus avoiding a political scramble and business upheaval. The taxpayer would still be safe, as, should an undesirable person get in, we would still have the recall but not so with proposed legislation. The teachers are now in session in Portland and go on record as favor ing the enactment of a pension fund after 60 years' service. Seems strange that the taxpayers foot the bill to fit them for teaching; then to pension them besides is going some. Another proposed change is doing away with our road supervisors and throwing all roadwork in the county court's hands. Right here I wish to say that the county court is no more fit to handle the road proposition of the average county than some road supervisors are. In the first place the commission- ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES OF f, Semi -Tropical Southern California CALIFORNIA with its oranges, its Winter flowers, its beaches, its mountain resorts, its time stained missions, its delightful sunshine and out-of-door life surely the call is irresistable in January. But a two days journey away on daily trains of the delightful SHASTA ROUTE Shasta Limited California Express San Francisco Express ' You can secure tickets or complete information from any agent, or write JOHN M. SCOTT, General Passenger Agent Portland, Oregon Southern Pacific Lines ers generally are men who have been supervisors and have some knowledge of road work, while the judge as a rule is not familiar with road work. Then why should the county court be given the right to say as to road ma terials and how and where the funds shall be spent? Under our present system of district taxation the peo ple should and have the right to say where their money should be spent, and whenever that law is repealed and the power given over into the hands of the county court the outly ing districts will be the ones to suf fer. If the trunk lines are not being built fast enough north and south (which seems to be the main idea) then let them form one continuous district along these routes, but let us alone to build roads according to our means.
