The first requisite to successful 

 dairying is a herd of cows that, 

 when properly fed, will give) rich, 

 healthy milk in sufficient quantity 

 to make the work remunerative. 

 The quality of the cows as milk- 

 vielding animals is more import- 

 ant than their numl>er, for there 

 are many small herds that make 

 more clear money ior their owners 

 than others twice as large giving 

 poore'r milk, a smaller quantity, or 

 having a short milking period. The 

 breetiing of the dairy cow is, of 

 course, a matter that requires at- 

 tention ; but one of the conclu- 

 sions reached by modern dairy- 

 men, both practical and scientific 

 is that the iudividualit}'' of the 

 cow, so far as her own profitable- 

 ness is concerned, counts for more 

 than either breed or breeding. 

 There are good paying cows in all 

 breeds, and there are cows that 

 pav badlv or not at all in all 

 breeds. A. long pediTree m.ay, and 

 often does, disappoint tTie dairy- 

 man, even when it is studded with 

 .noted names ; while manv profit- 

 able cows have no grandmothers, 

 so far as thp " record " ?oes. The 

 selection of the profitable cow, 

 theref'^rp. denends primarily ur>'on 

 what she can herself do, anii this 

 depends I'non f'^^r '"oints — the rich- 

 ness of the mill', the nuantitv of 

 it, the lenf^tli of her period of lac- 

 tation, and i^'^p fpi^'^ nost of its 

 prodi'r-tion : in other words, the 

 cow is to bp kpnt nil the year 

 roimd, and ber milk is. for the 

 most nart, used for makincr, butter 

 or cheese, or both, T'^e 'niestion, 

 then, is U'^t hoi-- m'"'h milk, or 

 how rich the tnilk, or what she 

 can do in a week : it is to what 

 extent ^an she produce butter-fat 

 the vear round, and it what cost 

 in food does she produce it? There 

 are many considpr^nble producers 

 that are not profitable producers. 

 There are manv that seem to ac- 

 comrli.sh less, bi't the r>roduction 

 is made at <.'i (Tif-irvn+i-- ip^s cost 

 to render them profitable, when 

 other animals that seem to do 

 more are m^iut^'iirvri iti +Vi<> herd 

 at a. loss. — Farm and Home. 



If growing leeks are short in the 

 stem they may be improved by 

 earthing up, but the .soil must 

 not be allowed to get into the 

 hearts of the plants. The soil 

 used in earthing up should be 

 made rather firm.
