Amateur Teamâ€"We once knew of a man that bought n good many con every year for hia city dairy. it was before the advent of the submit tent. and tor that reason he was very ex- cusable in using a more primitive mode. He would get the milk of the cow olerod for me 1nd not it over night in a goblet. If it showed a good ‘ thick cream in the morning. he bought the cow. provided her milking capacity was fairly good. Thia might do for can to be mud in n milk dairy. but it would be very unreiinbio for cow: to to mud in n «ulnar or for the ori- nta dairy.

Manly Miles has this to say of the above named breed: This breed. some- times called Silky. or Negro tswls, have a very peculiar appearance; their plumage being so unlike that of other iowls, as to he scarcely recognised as feathers: while the skin of the (owl is a deep violet color, almost black, the surface bones being of the sme hue also. which gives it a rather unin- viting look when prepared for the ‘ 1 table. The flesh, however. is very deli- cate and white. and superior to that of many breeds. The plumage has a soft. flossy appearance. the filaments being separate or single, and has been repre- sented by ancient naturalists as re- sembling wool. In describing this peâ€" culiar breed of {owls some say. "They were covered with wool instead of feathers”; others my, they were cov- ered with "hair like eats."
