The late Mr. Phinney, of Massachu

made examination a a large number of
milk cows, found in a majority of them
ibat were goad milkers thee develop

Opinion as tolthe general chanteter of the
animals which. poss,ssed these develop,-
' ments ; and so far as Tye have learned the
views of gentlemen in this country, who
have given attention to this subject, the
result has been the Same.
"I think it may wlth safety' be a.ftirmed,
that one, principle' is established—
. that ail things being alike, as regards
shape, texture of skin, &c., cows with
well-developed escutcheons, will, in alma

Tuilkerii, and above an average; while on
the other: band,. thosel.with very small
- escutcheons,-will be i folind linder, at

ing properties.
"In calves, the escutcheons she 7 the
shapes which they Ore aftarsyards
- sumo. They are :more contracted only
:because the parts 7hich they cover are
slightly developed. They 4F9 easily per
ceived after birth, but the hair which
forms them is long, coarse and 4iff. Af-
'ter this.hair falls off, the escutcheons of
calve.s resemble those of cows, though- pf
less'size. - This will enable the farmerlo
save such calves as will probably serve
him as good milkers.—Farnter and
Planter.
