The power of the cow to take and dlgost largo quantities of food regu. lates to a consldorahlo degree her value In the tlalry. 'rho emall eater Is of lIttle value , as It Is Imposslblo for her to malte milk , and Corco ener. gy nnd milk out of food that can. talns too lIttle of the clements for torco and mille mnldng. In nIl cases n largo eater Is wanted. The largo enter will have 0. tlopth of body not seen In the small eators. The breadth of the bOdy will also bo moro than that of cows thnt are small producers of mille. In the same connection , wo may sny that the hody must also bo laDg' . It Is not enough that the cow have 0. deep antl wldo paunch If it Is short. With these go the fitrong jaws. which must be strong to mastlcato the amount of food the anhnals requlro to flll the largo cavity of the stom. ach. The greatest number IC good feetlers have marl\Od tlepth of body , and the ribs are what we can well , sprung. This means that the ribs nre not hont tlown In such a way as to decrease the slzo of the abdominal cavity , No matter what the temper' , ament of a cow may be , If she have not the power to digest oaslly a great quantity of food. she will be of little use as a mille producer. Ono of the best mille cows the write. . . ever knew had this great power of digesting feed to a romarltablo degroe. : : ; ho had powerful jaws antl a big paunch. Nothing seemed to bo able to put her off her feed. She could fill up with nnythlng and digest ItV hout trOUt hIe , Ono night she brolO loose In the ctable and got to the place where the different feeds were lwpt , She sam. pled everylhlng In sight and filled up on corn meal. bran , gluten feed and middlings , When the owner opened the door In the morning th cow was stnndlng facing him , wltl1 sides bulgetl out too far to allow her to pass through the door. Ho aald , "You'ro a dead cow , " for ho thought that a cow stuffed so full of dry ground feed as she was would cer. talnly die , Dut the cow seemed to think otherwlso aud proceeded to dl. gest her midnight meal as If It had been a common ration for hor. The same amount of overfeed would have put most cows out of business , for some tlV10 at lellst. That tllgestlvo nblllty In a cow Is valuable , and where found It should bo carefully transmit. ted by breeding. Pu'bllc Opinion on Milk. The matter of public opinIon Is a largo ono when It relates to the milk tramc , We must have a higher level of r qulrements for mille If we are to have better milk produced and sold. 'l'ho public must bo educated to refuse any except a perfectly pure milk , antl must be also educated to the point or paying for that mille what it costs more than the mille that Is now being sold , which has a low average as to cleanliness , At different times , talle. Ing with largo producers oC milk and butter , they have deprecated the agi. tatlon of the subject , for they have said thnt If the public found out how ( lIrty the mille really Is they would re' fuse to use It and that would hurt the ; milk trade. Dut thnt Is not the effect of a proper enlightenment of the public - lic on the matter. Once the public comes to understand that the mm for which they pay a certain prlco Ie low In freedom from dirt they wU : demand a milk that Is clean antl wU bo willing to pay for It. That Is the course as It worls Itself out In prac tice. As public opinion rises the qual Ity of the mille also rises , for the mer that sell dirty mille find that they can not hold their customers.

Every partlclo of pollen Is a minute germ that Is meant to fertlllzf. ! the cavity at the end of the corn silk and thus 9roduco 0. Iernel of corn. The pollen Is not In Itself n seed , but Is the germ oC a seett. 'rho number at pollen grains berne on a slnglo corn tassel Is surprising. On the' basllJ 01 counting 0. largo part , it has been recle. oned that each tassel , or rather call lectlon of tassels , on a corn stallc , hat about 50 million grains. Tll1lE1 na' turo prepares to have most of her ef fort wasted. There are prohably nol moro than a thousand lernels on tlll ! ordinary ear of corn , and this would : glvo 50,000 grains af pollen for each ; } wrnel. In other words nature sup. plies the pollen so abundantly that nearly all may he wasted and yer enough bo left to do the work at fructifying the cavities that are tG produce aeed. The necessity for this grent was to Is seen In the methodS used to pollenlzo the sllles. The wln Is the chief carrier. Dut many tlmeg the wlnl1 Is blowIng the pollen awa ) from the silk Instead of towatds : It It Is only the occasional breeze thai carries the pollen to the place wher It may be useful ; yet so great Is the supply that a slnglo zephyr may wart enough to the silk to fructify th whole clump , This abundance of pol len also helps to cross fertlllzo the corn , and It Is probably the rule that most of the kernels have heen dovel. oped from germs berne from other stalks rather than from the stalles on which the particular car greW' . ThIs Is the moro Hleely to be the case ror the reason that the wind Is generally blowing the pollen away from the stallt on which It Is berne and to the silk of some neighboring stallt. Thus nature provides against selHertlllza' tlon. which seems to bo abhorrent to the general plan of llfe production , Pollen Is blown to considerable dls , tancos , If wo may jUdge of the results - sults obtained. Some time ago we heard of a man that had a very fine strain of sweet corn , which brought him a good prlco when sold green In the market , Ho would not sell the seed , and as It had been bred up by hlmselt , no other person could et It. To be sure that hIs seed did net KGt Into the hands of anyone Qlao. he planted his corn on an Island In a rIver. Dut a neighbor was smart enough to plant his corn on the river bank opposite the sweet corn. Th sweet corn was white and the 'other was the yellow field corn , He rightly judged that some of the million 01 grains of pollen would reach his field , In the fall when ho gathered his yel' ' low corn he found many white kernelE scattered among the ears. These h ( plclted out and planted the next yeal with the result that he had the samE variety of corn as his neighbor , HE had stolen the variety , but In 11 man ner entirely legal. The Silk of Corn. Corn sllle has recolved consldorabll attention from our corn scientists. I' Is a somewhat unusual manlfestaUOJ of nature , the cnvlty to bo fertlllze ( I by the pollen sending out this lonl SIllCY messenger to guldo the pollOI grain to its goal. The growth anI development of the sllle bears an 1m portant relationship to the crop a corn that Is to be harvested , The sUI at the butt of the car appears firs and Is the longest , as It must gra\ ' the whole length of the cob to get tl . the light at all. Yet it does this ani . Is waiving In the air cntchlng the po : lIen before the tip silks have appoare - The butt cavities or ovaries are then fore the flrst to be fertilized. It 1 generally boHoved that the shorter th oar the moro Hlcoly It Is to bo CO\ ered with kernels , as the longer th ear the later w111 the tip sllles be I I. getting out to the light where the can bo of service , For this reaso the tips of long enrs are froquent1 found with no Iwrnels on them. Th silks did not get out till acter th stalls had ceased shedding pollen. J an car of corn that Is sondlng at silk bo covered with a long paper fUI nol , the sUI. will continuo to grow i length till It has attained a length e twenty Inches or mpre. At tha low station nn car of corn treated In tIll way seemed to despair of getting po len and sent out two new ears nor its base ; and these two new enrs d voloped a good mnss of silk. TIJ falling oC the pollen on the silk Is fa lowed b ' the grains being conve'c to the ovaries , nftor the completlc of which worlt the sllle dies. Green Pot.atoes. .n .
