Its first calves were heifers, and one of these has been bred and has borne twins. Probably in these last the twin bearing tendency will be so well developed that it will become hereditary. Or, if we follow the old story. how the patriarch Jacob de- veloped ring streaked and speckled germs enough in the speematozoa cf the bull to create 100 calves at each im- pregnation provided there are eggs enough in the womb to be fertilized.

One of the common mistakes in in vestmcnt of capital is the building of creameries in general farming sections that have few cows. the idea being that the farmers will become dairymen as soon as a good market for milk or cream is afiorded them. The promoters may know that dairying should pay in the section or they may merely be interest- ed in selling an outfit to farmers. but the fact is not taken into consideration that most men who have not had a dairy training do not like the care of cows and will not burden themselves with it Their tastes run along other lines because trained that way. while the true dairyman enjoys his work, or at least the profit his skill in that line brings him. He understands his busi- ness and makes money, but the grain farmer or the general stockman neither understands nor likes it, and the cream- ery usually fails to change permanently and successfully his natural lines of farming. â€"National Stockman Dairy Exports. The trade in American farm products is growing in the China seas. Scientific inquiry into the principles that under lie the making of fine dairy products is preparing our people to furnish butter in condition to be exported in airtight packages, so that it will remain sweet for long periods in tropical countries. In order that markets may be opened up in Japan, China and other countries of the Pacific ocean. an agent is now in that region establishing agencies to which the department will make trial shipments with a view to ascertaining all the facts for the benefit of the dairy- men. â€"-Report of Secretary of Agricul- ture. How the Dutch Do. Dutch dairymen steam the clover hay until it swells up like noodles, boil their beets. turnips. potatoes. corn. oats, rye and other grains. and a Dutch- man would be hooted out of his coun- try if he had such scrubby things as many American farmers have. Breeding and Dairying. Breeding and duirying go hand in hand, each largely (ll pendent upon the other. It is very easy for the average dairyman to raise more young stock than he needs for lu'ilVH dairy purpises. and this surplus stock should bring him finbcndenxnn innnmn The true test of the value of any field or trackcvcnt is that of common sense.
