To tell whether a cow will give rich o" poor milk, there are no outward or visible sigris about llie animal lo guide I s in Ihe matter. The man who milks bfr even cannot tell tiow niuili butter !-• in Ihe pail; but in the Bubcock U-sl, dairymen have a simple means of test- ing Ihe milk of individual animals and weeding out the unprofitable members of llieir liords. Every farmer sti-iuia make il a ruk? to test his cows rcgulurly, anu kiKiw exaclly what eaob niiiinal in the herd is doing. 11 is ikiI .-.iillicienl lo depend enlii'ely n|x)ii Ihe rt'tunis from Ihe creamery, as, when all the milks are nii.ved, it is impossible lo .sel^'l Ihe nKisl profitable cows in the tni-d with ai.ylhing like accuracy of judgment.

One of ihe most clev-jr nieJhods of smuggling silk and opiujn into th» Lnited Stales from British Columbia yel known has been discovered by cusiom* olTicers al Dlaine, Wash., on Ihe inltp- nulional Ixjundary line. Trained dogs- wore used lo carry on the business, and Ilk) customs olHeers believe thai hun- dreds of p<junds of Ihe <:ontraband drug^ have been brought into this country in thai inaniuT. As a result of the dis- covery by the ollicers, Thomas Smith '.s in cuslody awaiting trial on a charge o' smuggling. The lirsl inkling that dofs were used fo- smuggling came a few dnys ago when Ollicer Lane of the Bellinghani »Ja- liou shot a dog wtiich he saw running through Ihe thick Umber near Hlaine. The canine was loaded down with a Itolher .saddle in which were found three pounds of opium and a package of siUt. W here Ihe ii>g came from and where he was going arc myslcr;«'s which the <jlfi- cials al once began to ferret out. The oflicers kxik a coon dog with Ihem to the boundary line where the Hrst canine was seen, i'or three days Ihey wailed before another dog cani« along wilh a pack .sadille on its back. This lime Itiere were three dogs kjaded ik.wn wilh Ihe di-ug. The men let Ihem pi'-ss. and Ihen, willi Ihe aid of Hie cocn .log, they traced them fo an old stiack near Blaine. The ofTioers afterwards arrested S.^lith on a charge cf smug- gling. The leather saddles were fflshi<^ntd afKT IlK.-se used by Ihe hospital dogs In Ine Australian army. It is a mystery bow the smugglers obtained the saddles, but it IS likely ibe confederates of iLe man in jail were well vei'sed in tbe training of dogs. * LI\>a) ON A LINER.
