1836 quite a large number of settlers
on both sides of the London Road,
but as, they were scattered and as
none but those located very near the
senool were pleased with its situation
and further, as eontrillutions 'toward
its support were erttirely voluntary, it
was correspondingly difilcult to obtain
funds. . • •

'the township, however, had some of .
the attributes of civilization before
they ever had a school as we find that
a mill was erected -by the Canada
Company at Egaziondville as early. as
1832 and completed' in 1833. The lo
cality was known for some years as
" The Mill." The road rounieg from
'Brueefield to Egmoridville was survey-
ed by the Canada ComtiOny to give
the London Road .people .access to
" the mill"' and Was, as it is to this
?ay, known as the " Mill „Road."

Huron Road, =env them Pretzels

Chalk, the founder of Harpurhey ; and
a very few tea -fa also located on the

Breeding Dairy Cows For Production.
()Written for The Newa-Record.)
FUNCTION OF Trui; DAIRY COW.
It is iiearcely necessary to say that
the preduction of milk is the greatest
innetion of the dairy cow. The eeon-
productiou of large quantities
of milk, butter and eheese determines
the value of the cow and the best eff-
orts of the breeders of dairy stock
should always be directed towards
that goal. If the dairy cow does not
yield a profitable flow of milk she
ceases to have any reason for exist-
ence. Beefing qualities are of comer-
atively importanee except
coses when a good cow losea the Use
of a portion of her ;lacier or in some
way becomes endesirabie as a milker,
FANCY poorTs.
rt naturally follows that to solve
the best practical results little atten-
tion shmild be paid to whet are emu -
moldy epos= of as fancy points. It
is only in very exceptional cases that
color of the hair, szze and contour of
the horns, graceful carriage and 0011 -
Leat teats can make any possible difs
femme in the acthal value of a cow,
yet these and =way other equally use-
less fancy points are held in high es-
teem by many .breeciers and judges.
Beauty of forte and breed type are al-
ways desirable aud breeders may well
endeavor to combine' theSe in as great
a degree as possible with capacity at
the pail, 'but, the latter must over Ic-
iness,: the first consideration.
INDICATING PRODUCTION
The first great essential point to be
sought in the dairy cow is constitu-
tion, without Which, she cannot stand
the strain of many years' heavy feed-
ing end . The wide chest,
good heart -girth and general appear-
ance .of vigor are the chief indications
of constitution. Other points largely
indicative of production are : a wide
stiongsinuzzle ; a comparatively open
haekbone or chine,. indicating a ten-
dency to make milk, rather than fat ;
a capacious barrel, capable of making
nee of large quantities of • feed, anti a
roomy, well shaped udder, with large
mammary veins, and milk -wells. A

tersely summarited these qualifications

ADVAN.PED REGISTRY.
•
About twenty years ago some of the
promieent Atlantan meedera of Hol-
steitaFrission . cattle, impreased with
the importanee' of the above question,
started what is known as sa " ad-
vanced registry"' in which cows could
• lie recorded mily after makiiig a inilk
I: or batter record greater than a cei-
tein high standard. This system. of
registry was greatly improved some
eight years ago by the adoption of
what is kuown as " official testing.''
'Under this plan all tests made are
directly supervised by a capable dairy-
man etut as a representative of an,
experiment station or agricultural 001-
1 lege, who sees the cows milked, weighs •
the milk and tests same in duplicate
with the Babcock tester. The corrects

by all concerned in conducting therm
'she aystem has now been adopted by
the Guernsey, Ayrshire and Jersey
Assoeiations of the United States, but
in Canada only the Holstein -Friesian
breeders have recognized the import-
ance of the movement. They have rec-
eatlY established a " record. of niers
it," in which a cow may be entered
only after /liaising an official test for
production of butter -fat.. The stand-
ard requires that a two-year-old heif-
er shall. produce in seven days at
least eight pounds of butter -fat, a
three-year-old heifer ten pounds, a
four-year-old cow eleven and a half
1 pounds and a mature Cow thirteen
1 pounds. This ie the highest standard
•
adopted by aiiy association and it will
doubtless have a very. beneficial effect
on -the hutter producing qualities of
the breeding in Canada; (Ither breed-
ers of dairy cattle might well take up
this matter. also. . .
