An entertaining report which will
be., read with Interest by Oregon
mockmen. Is mat by Consul Itaynes
from Rouen. Prance, on the cattle of
that coUHtrj"- The report Rays:
t jpent a few dajrs not long since
on Norman and Breton farms, nnd
during the time learned something of
the cattle.
In Normandy two distinct varieties
exist, the Cotentln and the Augeron
ne. The former are the more high
ly esteemed as dairy animals. They
are big framed, anprepoeewtaiC in ap
pearance, with a long, heavy head, a
large mouth, and white crumpled
horn: the neck I strons. the shoul
der heavy and muscular, and the
abeflt deep. The body i long and
angular, with wide, weli developed.
Quarters, and a flne'y formed milk
vsesel. and they have ever- sign of
beta deep milkers, except that the
Rkrn looks thick and coarse. They
have quiet disposition and seem al
vnty contented: their color varteft.
the 'prevailta hues be Ins; brown.
' roan, red and piebald, often wtth
brown streaks, giving rife to the term
brrndle.
Cotentln cattle are to be found In
all the beat dairy districts, which ex
tend from Cherbourg to Uateuz. in
otudms Talaonea. Car en tan. and
ls4any. and are highly suitable for
dairy purposes, being better adapted
to the districts of which they are na
ttee than any made breed. A cross
between the Norman breed and oth
er seems to improve them for beef
making, but all crones to improve
their dairy qualities have failed. The
Augetoune variety is found chiefly
in the valley of the Auge. and. Is as
a rule, belter adapted for slaughter
ing than for the dairy.
As to the milking qualities, the
Norman will tell you that the Coten
tln cow Is the best milker In the
world. It Is incontestable that not
withstanding their plain looks they
are admirable milkers, and many
heifers are annually sent from Nor
mandy to restock the cow sheds of
Paris and Its environs.
It would be of little practical value
to give an account of the different
milk records, or even an average of
them, as I place but limited reliance
on some of the figures, which repre
sent. I believe, not more than a few
weeks of the flush, while, on the
other hand, some of the greatest
yields were of Inferior quality. It
was. however, proved to me beyond
doubt that this breed, the Cotentln,
will produce 49 pounds of butter a
month during the greater portion of
the period of lactation without any
pampering In the way of food treat
ment, the amount of artificial food
fed them being very small.
The Brittany race occupies almost
exclusively the five departments
which comprise the ancient province
of Bretagne. where it Is very numer
ous, and Includes about 1.500. 000
head, or one-eighth of all the cattle
In France.
These animals present various
characteristics, according to the fer
tility and cultivation of the soil where
they are found. There arc different
opinions as to the origin of the breed,
but the best authorities agree that It
Is llollandalse. and that the race Bor
delalse is nothing but the race B re
tonne more developed by better cli
mate and food. They are quick, ac
tive animals, of a mild, sociable dis
position, and usually pleblack or
black, with a black or mottled mils
ale. The head Is short, fine and
small, wtth brtcht eyes and small
ears, while the horns are fairly fine,
usually white at the base and black
at the points.
The color of the horns varies, how
ever, to yellow or black throuchout.
the latter type being much prised If
the horns are also short. The neck
is small, the shoulders clean and
light, with little or no dewlap, the
legs very short, the back long and
straight, and the quarters wide. The
mammiUary veins and milk vessels
are wonderfully developed. The cat
tle are docile and hardy, and content
themselves with little, while yielding
high returns. The farmers assert
that their rows give a pound of rich
, milk for every pound of good hay
eaten. One farmer showed me anl
! mats which he said gave four, six
and seven pounds of butter a week.
in erasing, each cow Is provided
with a leather halter, to which Is fas
tened a chain, varying In length from
20 to 1 feet, according to the quality
of the land. At the end of the chain
ar. Iron stake Is driven.
Cattle must be of a very peaceful
disposition to thrive In this way; but
when there are no fences, as In many
i parts of Normandy and Brittany, the
I system seems the best that could be
adopted. It gives much labor In
, summer, when the rows graze night
jand day. and when water Is distant.
' Many farms have large troughs.
which are filled with water by carts.
In Mich cases watering, milking and
j changing to fresh pasture is generally
I done three times a day during lacta
' tion.
Attending to the rows and milking
i Is usually done by women, who go to
the tethered cows at 5 or $ o'clock
I In the morning, at noon and at 6 or
7 o'clock In the evening. When the
! days are too short the animals are
brought to the sheds. A pony or
, donkey carries the milk Jugs to and
, from the fields In summer by means
I of a yoked cart or a wooden frame
fastened on the back.
The system of tethering originated
from necessity, and has continued as
a matter of economy Owing to the
small size of the holdings, which are
often divided Into still smaller ones
on the death or the owner, each far
mer needs to grow ns much produce
ns possible for himself, his family
nnd his cattle. Thus the grass plat
must be near the patches of wheat,
mangold, beets, cabbages, etc.. nnd
to prevent these from being eaten up
or spoiled by the cow she must be
tethered. The Belgians, whose farms
are also small, have met the' difficul
ty by keeping their cows In sheds and
carrying food and water to them.
The farmers In Normandy nnd Brit
tany claim for their system of tether
ing the following advantages
Economy In feed as high as 50 per
cent, the grass being eaten up clean,
none left and none spoiled.
Begular feed, the cow not being
pampered one day and starved the
next, her appetite not being spoiled,
and her digestion not being deranged
Perfect command over the food
supply by means of a long or short
tether, a poor corner or a rich one
No cost for fences.
Greater gentleness In the o )
keeper Is her good genius, on wrn.
she is dependent for all warns. a i
docility necessarily follows.
More butter, as nothing Is mo-e .in
structive of animal fat in flesh
udder than too much exercise . '.

In stalls and let his cows ruv -.

It Is evident, however, that unless
a fairly mild climate prevails with
sufficient shade, the system nouki
not do well. Further, it reoulres
much labor at a season when labor
Is valuable, and cows thus treated
must have a docile disposition.

The Smithsonian Institute, while
making Inquiries into the cheapest
forms of producing light, experiment
ed with Cuban fireflies, among other
things. The Insects were placed In
the center of concave mirrors and the
most delicate Instrument In the gov
ernment observatory was employed
to measure the amount of heut radiat
ed by them.
A sperm candle was used for com
parison, nnd a flame spot from It
which was Just as big as the firefly
was thrown Into the mirror.
The Instrument recorded the heat
from the candle at once: but no
movement was caused by the insect,
although the Instrument was so deli
cate that, had the firefly produced
even as little as one-eighty thousandth
part of the heat produced by the tiny
spot from the candle It would have
shown on the records.
It was different with light. Com
paring the flame spot of the candle
and the light from the Insect, the in
strument showed the firefly gave one-
eighth as much light as the candle.

gave light amounting to one-sixteen
