When yen gier the cow you want yon must maintain that there is more profit in n cow than in any other animal except a pig. Some'people do not think so but I know that a larmer can make $20 or $50 a year out of a oow, The most profitable time to have a oow come in is in the Fall but of mums a farmer cannot have all his sows come in at that lemon. Sone farmers do not. believe in feeding a- 00W, bot if rightly fed she will do mach more then pay for her board during the Winter. We will say that yon feed 8 Ibe. of grain; which would be worth about 8 cents, and 20 lbs. of hay, worth about 7 cents. This would produce at least a pound of butter, which at 17 cents leaves a profit of two cents and any cow that won't do this muoh fa not worth keeping. Feed ber for beef or sell her or something. Cows should be brushed and curried every day just the same as horses. It will make a big difference in the 00W.

If the teats and udder are kept clean no dirt nun Dome off and go into the milk when they are wetted. Unless a farmer bee the ready money by him to build a silo and buy a straw matter, I think clover hay 15 cheaper than ensilage, • but if a man can have these things without hav- ing to borrow the money toprocure them, ensilage probably pays Always hive the milk of eaah Cao cote ted, for there is no use in keeping gives milk of wbieh it tlkesbout fifty, pounds to make a pound* Testers can now be got very cheap and three or four neighbors might club to- gether and get one among them.

Pro• lessor 'Robertson had made particular enquiries in the old country regarding this matter, and that was the conclusion he came to. Some Englishmen even de. °tared that they could detect the differ• encs in the pork. There is on branch of of industry that brings more money Canada than cheese mating. Many things that were mute profitable are not now so—for instance wheat. We can raise just as good wheat to the sore fn Huron now as we ever did. The soil has not deteriorated, but the prion is very low, and, 00neqU5t0bY' ib dons not pay to raise it. But it seems blab the dairy. ins business is notone blot -is good for whilea little both demand and price hdown, have kept There wore 12,000,000 pounds more cheese shipped to the old country zed 1892 than in 1891, end the Prim reawoe considerably morn than it ever bad been previously.
