Personality of the Dairy Cow.

Thcrr is a distinct personality about the dairy cow possessed by no other animal. She is a class by herself. She is both a luxury and a necessity because of her |?rodtict. She possesses an article of diet that is indispensable and for which there is no substitute. Of all the animal kingdom there is none so distinguished. She is preeminent, and her, example is worthy of imitation. She is free from ostentation. She is modest and retiring in her demeanour, but philanthropic in her nature. She is not spasmodic, but quietly works all the time, and the result of her labour is realised at once. She occupies the proud position of mother of her own family and foster mother of a large proportion of the human family. She is not only a home builder, but a household provider and an educator. She is not only a civiliser, but the advance guard of prosperity always. There is nj farm on which she has bee i allowed to take an active and conspicuous part but what has been made more fertile, more productive, more remunerative, and more valuable. There is no country in which she is- a prominent factor in the agricultural interest but what is made more prosperous by her. The home of the dairy cow is a land of peace and plenty, where intelligence and refinement abound.— Journal of Agriculture, W.A.
