DAIRY SUCCESS.

Sell the poor cows and begin breeding J and filling up the vacancy with better onea. Choose the best and breed them to a sire from a butter-making family. Breed a dairy cow according to the law of dairy breeding. The man who runs a Bteamboat runs it by the law of steainboating, not by rail-road-ing ; if he did not he would get stuck in the mud. When you have secured a good cow get her to eat all she can. The more you coax her to eat the better, as profit comes alone from foods. Do not starve the calf; you cannot afford to let it stop growing a minute, Neither teach it to make fat ; if you do," when she is four years old you will ask her for milk and she will say, " No, sir, you taught me to give you tallow, not milk; you made me -fat and large in front and fitted me out with a beefy form, and now I am a fine type of that sort of animal. No, sir, do not ask me for milk. I have not got it to give you, but I can give you tallow if that will do." Do not discard the heifer when she is two years 4>ld and has her first if she does noli

come up to your expectations ; try her another year ; then if she refuses, turn her over to the bologna sausage-mill. It is a long journey from the scrub to the paying herd, but it can be accomplished if we will.— Professor Roberts, Cornell University.
