INHERITANCE OF QUALITIES, Aa to tho value cf the cow, in reference to thu food the eate, Dr. Sturlevant says : A cow ealB focd and milk ia made in quantities according as the ancestry ances-try of the cow have been good or poor milkers. The "natural" or wild cow gives hardly enough milk for her calf, and net or.ough to Batidly domestic do-mestic cnlf. Feed the wild cow high and her milk yield is Blight. Xarge quantity of milk conies largely through lnueriiauce. is uie bhihu wim quality. 1'na milk of diflereut breeds ' bRB a difierent character. When a cow of any breed has enough food considered in the elements of which the food is made up if there ia nothing noth-ing lacking in the food that ia needful to her growth and health, then I think it is agreed by the best authority that a mere increase of food will not ehani;e the quality of the milk, while it will increase the quantity.

In addition to a warm, dry bed, ' which ie ol the utmost importance, we pay very careful attention to their diet. We find it of great advantage to use, at least a part of the time, corn tedder for bedding; not only because it makes a ced that wears and keeps cleau longer than etruw, but bec.nise : the hogs eat the blades greedily, and show that they need eomething bedido the rich concentrated food which corn constitutes. Just try throwing a tumdle of bright corn fodder to a half di.-sten pigs that have been in a oloae pe'D lor some time, and see how they devour it, and you will at once bo convinced that it is profitable food for them. . Another important rule ia never to feed mnre than the hogs will eat up clean. It by an accideot we give too much, so that ut the next ieodiog time there ia corn in thf pan, give a little warm elop and uo corn for that feed.
