They are grade Shorthorn cows, uud the best I can get them to do Is 150 pounds of butter per cow, aud I have worked hard.” Now. he asked me wbat he should do, and he said very feelingly: “I can’t stand It to work the year round for such small results. Shall I sell off these cows and go aud buy dairy eows?” “I think not," I said. "Well, •what will I doV” I said: “You want to raise dairy cows, don't you? You don’t want to fool away your time with poor cows. Y'ou want good cows." "Yes." “Well, you go and buy the best Jersey bull that you cau Uud—aud If you pay a good, high price for him, the better—and put him at the head of your herd." He did so. lie paid $200 for a very line, prepo tent, strong blooded Jersey bull. Now, my good farmer friends, I want to show you something.

The subject of the illustration, from Holstein-Frelslau Register, is the beautiful young cow Johanna Bon- heur, bred by W. J. Gtllett, Ilosendale, Wls. It Is evident that individual ex cellence and performance are strongly blended in this animal. As a two- year-old she made an official test of 14.2 pounds of butter In one week and 50.8 pounds of milk in one day. In eleven months at the same age she produced 12.028.6 pounds of milk. As u three-year-old she was given an offi cial test eight months after calving and In seven days produced 13 pounds o * s : i d v . pounds of butter lu one week, her milk for the time averaging 4.23 per P R O F E tS I O N A L cent fat.

The cow that gives a pailful and a half twice n day when she Urst fresh ens may not lie the most profitable cow in the herd. Another that gives only three-fourths of n pailful Is pos sibly making more money. The profit ableness of the milker depends upon three things—the quality of the milk, the persistence of Its flow and the amount. The second point Is frequent ly overlooked. Every cow should have some time each year for a rest lie- tween the milking periods. The cow that is never drlml up will not last as long ns the one which takes a rest of from four to six weeks. We ad mire the persistent milker, but she must lie handled carefully by n cape, hie dairyman. Otherwise she will be milked up to the last day, thus sap ping her vitality and abusing her abil ity.—Kimball's Dairy Fanner. General Merchandise Best Quality of Gerds. Lowest Prices.
