Commissioner. The Cow That Pays Best. The question as to which is the most profitable cow is one that cannot be de- cided in any arbitrary manner. There are so many circumstances and contin- gencies to be taken into consideration that. after all is said and written on the subject, each man must decide the ques- tion largely on his own judgment. He will find it necessary to consider the na- ture of his farm, the suitability of his buildings and implements, the cost of hired help, it such be required, the proximity of a good market for the fin- ished product, and many other details. The comparative advantages of beef growing and dairying would probably be the first point considered by a farm- er who was just about to make a start in cattle raising. Men who have had long experience in either of these lines 111‘0 not likely to change to the other line, involving, as it does, changes in farm routine, in variety and manage- ment of crops, in buildings and equipâ€" ments, without a good deal of delibera- tion. That beef production can be car- ried on with a smaller expenditure for labor and utensils is perhaps true, and it certainly does not require the con- stant attention to business that dairy- inn.r entails. Next comes the question of breed. It will, I think, be generally conceded by fair-minded men that there is no “best” breed. Everything depends on circum- stances. A breed that proves highly satisfactory in one district, may be foundentircly unsuited to difierent en- vironments. Only four breeds of beef cattle, viz, Shorthorns, Hercfords, Gal- loways and Aberdeen-Angus, have at- taincd popularity in Canada, and only the first mentioned can be said to be generally distributed. The others may be equal to the Shorthorus for beef pro- duction, and even surpass them under certain conditions, but the superior milking qualities of the Shorthorns, and particularly of the grades, have given them an unequalled popularity among,Ir our farmers. Where feed is p‘entiful, and the country not too high or broken, they are likely to prove sai- isfactory becfers, and in addition will produce a fair amount of milk. The ease with which good bulls of this breed cm be procured for grading purposes is also an argument in its favor. Breeders of other sorts are comparatively few, and the opportunity for choice is small, when one desires to select a bull. In colder parts of Canada, and on the bare pastures of the mountainous districts, the Galloway's and West Highlanders should prove serviceable on account of their hardiness and activity. ' Among the dairy breeds, the Ayr- shire, Holsteins, Jerseys, Guernseys and French Canadians are all held in con- siderable esteem. 'lhc latter have been almost unknown outside of the province of Quebec until the last year or two, but they are now attracting considera- ble attention. Under adverse circum- stances, such as scanty pasture, lack of proper winter feed and care &c., they will probably yield a greater percentage of profit than those breeds which have for generations been accoustomed to good feed and dare. The Guernseys, though highly thought of in the U. S. in Canada to enable our farmers to Jerseys, are especially adapted for the production of fancy butter or cream for a high-priced city trade, and the major- ity of Canadian herds of these two breeds are, 1 think, used for this pur- pose. The Ayrshires and Holsteius seem to be gaining in popularity among the cheese-factories and creameries, and, with the dairy Sher-thorns, are likely to part of the dairy ‘tield between them. The Holsteins are likely to do better on the level hands, with flush pastures and plenty of win~ think, find more favor on rolling or hilly lands, because of their great activity.

I, the undersigned, beg to inform my customers and the public generally that, beginning on the 1le of April, I am to make a. great change in my business. I have secured the assistance of Mr. F. Varcoe, who has been training in the smartest house in Midland since he left me two years ago. On the above date I begin to wind up, and shall sell my general stock of Dry Goods at so great a reduction that it will be ap- preciated by all. I beg most sincerely to thank the many friends and steady supporters who have kept true to me. since I came to Fenelon Falls thirty-two years ago, and, now that I am to sell out my stock at prices under a. living profit, I trust the public will appreciate our finish more than our beginning.
