NEW AMERICAN BREED OF DAIRY CATTLE In the Improvement of dairy breeds by selection, environment, feed, etc., for the greater utility to the dairy farmer, two characteristics should be placed foremost, writes \V. II. Jen kins in Hoard's Dairyman. These are performance and constitution or vi tality, and after these beauty and symmetry of form. The history of this new American breed—the Colum bian breeders of dairy cattle will do well to study closely and learn its les sons. About thirty years ago Anson Gregory was keeping a herd of native cattle on Ids farm in Otsego county. N. Y. He noticed that one cow in his herd gave more and richer mill; than the ot hoi’s, and he raised her heifer calves year after year. Mr. Gregory wanted a sire from a different herd, and he bought a line back, its dam be ing his neighbor's best cow. Mr. Greg ory's best cow was bred to the lino hack hull for several years and a strain of line hack cattle was estab lished. Mr. Gregory's two sons were now grown to manhood, ami they took up A new distinctive breed of Ameri can dairy cattle lias been named the Columbian. The bull shown herewith, Miles Standish. is owned by F. L. Gregory, Otsego county, N. Y„ whose father originated the breed. the work of improving; (heir new breed of cattle by selection. They continued the work of improvement by selection, feeding, etc., until they own ed animals with a record of consid erably over 500 pounds of butter in one year. Their type of cows being now estab lished, three years ago the name Co lmnhian was given these cattle tinder a charter from the state, and the Co lumbian Cattle breeders' association was organized with five members. The best and largest herd of Colutu liians is now owned by C. O. Gregory and bis father on the farm where the breed originated. They have thirty three cows. Some of the Columbian . cattle. Mere exhibited at lo ;tl i'.iim i’l New York this year, but very few of this new butter breed have been of fered for sale. The Columbians so far have made good records as a butter breed of cat tle, and there seems to be good rea sons for believing they will fake a permanent place among the standard dairy in < c Us.

Great attention should bo paid to the ram's general contour. 11 is strn tore should lie firm and massive, with a broad, spacious breast, no dispropor tinnate length of legs and well formed mid fully developed quarters, especial ly the hindquarters. 11 is loin should be stout and well knit, ids features bold, mid a muscular neck is desirable A bold and courageous eye anti car llage are indicative of spirit and vigor IIis head should be long, but rather small and well molded.

His Airs and Graces, His Frills and Laces and His Dazzling Oratory In His Early Political Battles—A Pen Picture of His Remarkable Face. Benjamin Disraeli's career in piuetl ,'ttl polities began with a series of re verses that might have discouraged a | icss persistent lighter. Five times the youthful novelist and versatile hud ding statesman attempted to break into parliament before he succeeded in winning an election, going down to de feat throe times at Wycombe and once tt Taunton. In William Flayvelle Mouypenny's •'I.ife of Benjamin Disraeli" the au thor declares that tales are still told in Wycombe of Disraeli's famous first *peech from the portico of tlie Red Lion: “Tile youthful orntoi was now at the height of tils dandyism, and his ’curls and rutiles' played no small part in the election. Standing on the top o? the porch beside the figure of the lion, with his pale face set off by masses of jet black hair and his-person plenty ously adorned witli lace and cambric, he must have seemed to the spectators better fitted for his role of fashionable novelist than for that of strenuous pol itician. Great, then, was their sur prise when this ’popinjay,' as a hostile newspaper called him. began to pour forth a torrent of eloquence with tre mendous energy of action and in a voice that carried far along the High street. He had an Instinct for the.dra mafic effects which hold the attention of the mob. ‘When the poll is declared I shall bo there.’ lie exclaimed, accord ing to a Wycombe tradition, pointing to the head of the lion, ’and my oppo nent will lie there.’ pointing to tlie tail. By the admission even of the op posito party the speech was a com plete success, and his popularity with the crowd was thenceforth assured " As to the young orator's appearance .it Taunton, Mr. Monypenuy gathers these comments of an eyewitness from in almost forgotten hook of Hint time; Never in my life hurl I been so struck by n face ns | was by that <>f Disraeli, it was lividiy pale, ami from beneath two finely arched eyebrows blazed out a pair of Intensely black eyes. 1 never have seen such orbs In mortal sockets either before or since His physiognomy was strictly Jewish O' er a broad, high forehead were t ing lets of coal black, glossy hair, which, coni lied away from his right temple, fell in' luxuriant clusters or bunches over his left check and ear. which it entirely concealed from view. "There was a sort of half smile, half sneer playing about his beautifully formed mouth, the upper lip of which was curved as we see it in the por traits of Byron He was very showily attired in a dark bottle green frock coat, a waistcoat of the most extrava gant pattern, the front of which was almost covered with glittering chains, and in fancy pattern pantaloons Hi' wore a plain hind; stuck, but no collar was visible Altogether lie was the most intellectual looking exquisite I had ever seen. “He commenced In a lisping, lacka daisical tone of voice. He minced his phrases in apparently tile most affect ed manner and while ho was speaking placed his hands in all imaginable po sitions. not because lie felt awkward and did not know, like a booby in n drawing room, where to put them, but apparently for the purpose of exhibit ing to the best advantage the glitter ing rings which decked Ids white and taper fingers. Now lie would place Ids thumbs in the armholes of Ids waist coat and spread out Ids lingers on its Dashing surface; then one set of digits would he released and he would lean affectedly on Hie table, supporting him self with Ids right hand; anon lie would push aside the curls from Ids forehead. “I’.ut as lie pro- oedecl till traces or , dandyism and affectation were lost With a rapidity of utterance perfectly astonishing he referred to past events and indulged in anticipations of the future. The Whigs were, of course, the objects of his unsparing satire, mill Ids eloquent denunciations of them were applauded to the echo In all lie said he proved himself to be the fin ished orator livery period was round oil with the utmost elegance, and In his most daring flights, when one trem bled lest he should fall from the giddy height to which he had attained, he so gracefully descended that every hearer was wrapped in admiring surprise. 11 is voice, at (1 rs t so fin leal, gradually became full, musical and sonorous and with every varying sentiment was beautifully modulated. His arms no longer appeared to be eshiblte, for show, but he exemplified the eloquence of the hand. The dandy was trans formed Into the man of mind, the Man tallni looking personage Into a prac ticed orator and finished elocutionist." Har Declaration. "Have von anything to declare?" asked the customs inspector. "Yes." replied the Indy who was re turning from Kurope “I unhesitating |y declare that It is an outrage the way this government permits things to he mussed up In one’s trunk ”-Chl engo Keeord-Heral I I.el those who complain of having to work undertake to do nothing If this lives not convert them nothing will iNDiGESTION OF COWS. Loss of Cud Is a Symptom Mc-cly arid Not a Disease. I,ins (if (ini Is not n disease, but merely (lie symptom of sickness. When a cow suffers from Indigestion 1 or any other ailment which makes hi r feel quite sk k she naturally will stop chewing her cud. When the trouble ' subside- rumination will lie resumed, i Many | *>• iple give artlflcinl ends, think lug In establish rumination hy such i means. This of course is highly ab I surd, says the lturn! New Yorker. On general principles give a cow a full dose of physic when she will not chew her cud and follow the purge by full doses of stimulants in warm wa ter, tliin gruel or flaxseed lea. As a physic a pound of cpsom salts, half nu ounce of ground ginger root and a cupful of blackstrap molasses shaken up In three pints of warm water will prove effective. Four ounce doses of whisky along with half a dram of fluid extract of mix vomica will serve well as a stimulant. Another good stimulant for cows is a mixture of equal parts of aromatic spirits of am monia, pure alcohol and spirits of ni trons ether (sweet niter). A dose of this is two ounces every three or four hours, well diluted wit li water, gruel or flaxseed ten. Rectal inactions of soapy warm water are also useful when a cow Is affected In the way here considered. PROFITABLE HOG RAISING. Selection and Cure of the Brood Sow of Vital Importance. The brood sow is the foundation of ail profitable pork production, and her selection, care and management are the most important factors of the whole industry, writes ITofesso/ ('. <i. Wheeler in Kansas Parmer. It Is a subject upon which volumes have been written, and in spite of Ibis fact prob ably more bog growers fail In this point than in any other phase of the industry. In making the selection of sows it must lie borne in mind that we cannot expect uniformity In (he pigs unless we have uniformity In the parents. A type must therefore be kept In mlml and the selections, as far as possible, made to conform to this type. The sows should he broad between the eyes and of refined appearani e about tin1 face and neck. The shoulder should be smooth and deep. Tin* body should la; fairly long, with well sprung rilis. giving plenty of room for the vital organs.
