TESTING THE COW'S QUALITIES.
I pProfessor Sheldon thinks that every farmer should have a sot of graduated „♦ %|nream-gauges —simple things, costing only -'4&' few shillings —so that he may ascertain ' -Jine quality of each cow's milk, and he tould keep a record of this, as well as the antity, entering both of them in a book . the cow's name. This method of * %oing to work has a very considerable .jeiducational value; it is essentially praci'tical, and not at all theoretical in its {bearings; it tells the farmer which are >f his best cows, which are the best to keep > and breed from, which of them responds ' mtfsin freely to improved food, which of them is the best " all-round," which has the greatest " staying power," and so on, acting and reacting in various ways to the | farmer's advantage. —London Squire.
