This letter had reached Nancy the very morning on which Derrick Darnley had started off for his walk with the dogs; and having escaped Feuton's lynx eyee, she made her `way to a' quiet nook in the lonely woods to road it over and indulge in almost the first faint gladness she had felt for months.

The joining of the head to the body is intended to be as supple and as comfortable as it is strong, and when it gives its owner the feeling of being like a lot of old machinery that needs oiling, that is just what it is, and nothing will put it in shape so quickly as constantly re- peated resistant exercises.

How- ever, always use a pure-bred sire. The breeding bull always repre- sents half the value of the breed- ing power of the herd if it is de- sired to,,grow calves for the dairy. Select him from some of the well-' known families of the breed and be sure that ho possesses prepotency which gives promise of being ' a good calf -getter. A bull of this kind will give you excellent results in improving the herd. Some of the bast herds in the country are high grades that have resulted from the continued use of good sires. In order to be successful as breed • - ers we must learn some of the les- sons associated with our stock; have an ideal type of our minds and always in our selection and mating be seeking to improve the type and standard in our herd. The best special purpose animal is none too good. Never strive to produce a general purpose animal by mixing beef a,id dairy breeds. Aim to produce the animal whose special 'characteristic is the cheap production of a pound of butter or a gallon of milk, . Always seek to have the crosses in harmony. Do not mate extremes. Vigor and constitution are two es- sentials. Unless a cow possesses vigor in constitution she will make a poor breeder. . Do not inbreed unless you have a definite object in view, seta 05 intensifying some particular good quality and then tfo it by breeding the sire to some of his own get. This should not be followed up too closely, Plan to have the hei- fers drop their first calves tit about 24 or 30 months of age. Their off- spring will be more vigorous and there will. bo .bettor results than by forcing an immature animal to boar progeny. Breed cove ' are lame feeders. Feed them a liberal ration of m]lk• produeing foods and give them the best of dare. Keep it mind that bad qualities are more easily trona' mitted than the good ones.
