C. Small. Deputy Chief, Division of Dairying, of the Department of Agriculture, states that points which should be given most thought when purchasing new stock are thoae that Indicate:—The capacity of a cow to walk and gather food.Capacity to digest food eaten.Capacity to carry a large udder without discomfort.CAPACITY TO WALK AND GATHER FOODCapacity to gather food is governed first by a oow’s ability to walk; she should be free of any foot or leg weak-The flying saucers are real: they are made not In Russia or in Mars but in the United States; and when the U.S. Air Force sees fit to release Information on them it will be good news. So declares Henry J. Taylor, well known Journalist and radio commentator, In the August Reader’s Digest. The artlclo is Condensed from a broadcast.The saucers vary in size, Taylor says, from small white disks 20 Inches wide to big ones 250 leet across. Nearly all are round; some are flat and edged up like saucers, others are raised in the centre like a pie. Some are guided, others are not. They emit no stream of light or smoke, have no Indication of a propelling mechanism, and no sound. They can stand stationary in the air, then dash off j right or left with Increasing speed Their function is an Important military secret.rm-MrAraen-llssvasmgffi*ihnW.J.1thJ.rt;ecne.on.on.roann’’i*yNlnu out of ten reports of flying saucers are due to imagination or confusion, Taylor states. But several have been substantiated. Nine flying disks, sighted over the Pacific Coast of America by United Airlines Captain E. J. Smith, were real. Five seen over the Cascade Mountains of Oregon were real. So were a hundred-foot saucer observed over New Mexico in April, 1949, and a 250-footer sighted over Madisonvllle, Kentucky, on January 7. 1948.The saucer development Is a” big and expanding experimental project which has been progressing In the United States for three years. Taylor says. It has gone through three stages, reaching Peaks in public observation In July. 1947. January 1948 and April 1950. The saucers have grown bigger with each phase.A flaming, cigar-shaped object about a hundred feet long.” reported over Montgomery. Alabama, by two reliable Airlines pilots, was real too. the author states. But it was not cJgar-shapcd. nor was It a flying saucer.” It was a U.6. Navy experimental fighter, “a great Jet airplane of incredible speed. Though nearly round, its extremely fast flight (another military secret) made it appear elongated and cigar-shaped to the human eye.Chances of finding a flying saucer are slight, because most arc mad.* of material which disintegrates In the air. If you found one, however, you would read the following message stenciled on it: Military secret of the United States of America (and a number). Anyone damaging or revealing description or whereabouts of this missile is subject to prosecution by the United States Government Call collect at once (Telephone number and address of a UB. Air Base). Non- i exploelve.Chief of these weaknesses are:— Splaw’’ footed ness; I.e.. excessive spread of the cloven hoof; and Cow’’ hocks; I.e., the hocks being close together and pointing inwards Instead of slightly outwards, and hind legs sloping forward, throwing the body weight on the tender part of the rear of the hoof.Capacity of a cow to gather food is also governed by formation of muzzle and Jaw.The muzzle should be broad; while the bottom jaw should be broad and so formed that it sets squarely on the top Jaw.A cow with a bottom Jaw that slopes gradually is termed pig Jawed, and this flefect prevents her gathering her food supply with the necessary degree of speed.POINTS INDICATING 8TRONG DIGEBT1VE CAPACITY The main Indication of this capacity is a strong, well-formed barrel showing plenty of depth.The riba should be well-sprung and widely separated.A cow’s digestive capacity is also indicated by general appearance of health such as alertness and activity, a full, bright eye. a moist muzzle, ears elevated and only slightly receding, and a clean, healthy coat.CAPACITY TO CARRY LARGE UDDER WITHOUT DISCOMFORT The main points Indicating this capacity in a cow are:Length from hip bone to pin bone; the front of a cow’s udder nearly always ends at a line drawn perpendicularlyfrom hip to ground—therefore, the farther forward the hip Joint the greater lhe length of the udder.Width of udder Is governed by width of the cow’s body In the udder region.A cow .should be wide across the hips, and to.ensure uniformity of width, the pin bones should similarly be widely separated.When these bones arc set closely together, and the angle of a line drawn from hip lo pin bones Ls accentuated, it usually means that the hind legs arc close together with the hocks turning slightly inward. leaving restricted space for udder development.For a cow to be able to develop her yield to a maximum capacity the hocks should be widely separated and should point outwards slightly, so leaving plenty of space for the attachment of the udder.When the hocks are close together and pointing inwards, pressure is exerted on the udder when It Ls fully extended with milk; this pressure causes soreness and leads to early diminution in milk flow.Flat thighs and freedom from flesh in the area surrounding the escutcheon are qualities essential to milk production.Round thighs, and heavily fleshed hind quarters, especially that part below the pin bones, indicate that a cow is utilising her food supply mainly for development of meat, and that ther.- is limited space for inclusion of milk secreting organs.In addition to being small, the udder of such a cow Is of heavier flesh, and has less capacity to extract from the blood the fluid which is subsequently converted to milk.A cow’s udder should be broad and long with a comparatively flat sole, and extending well up in the rearThe attachment at the rear should be Tram a gradually sloping udder when in full milk.An abrupt termination of the udder, both in front and rear. Is a decided defect; in such cases the udder usually hangs low. hinders the cow In her efforts to gather food and more effort is requir.-d to withdraw the milk.The skin of a cow’s udder should be soft and silky.The flank of a cow should be low. because the flank ls nature’s protective curtain for the udder.The udder should be attached to the abdominal wall, well up from the bottom of the flank.(Block by courtesy of N.S.W. Department of Agriculture)OURMARRIED WITH A SECRETBy DIANA MILLSBut I’ve teld you—my husband isn’t In a position to give me anything just now. Graoe repeated distractedly.In that case, dear lady’’—Mr Rosenberg shrugged his ahouldere-I can only suggest that you endeavour to find the money elsewhere. Maybe you will think of some friend who can help you By right I am entitled to charge a higher rale of interest, as you will see by one of tttbse clauses. But I am willing to waive that, provided I receive the first repayment within the next three days.Mr Rosenberg rose from his desk to show that the Interview was ended, and saw her politely to the door.Blindly. Orace left his office, and her footsteps carried her automatically to the market place, where the Emsdale bus was due to leave In a few minutes. For her next objective was to see Doctor Brown.Her actions were mechanical as she paid her fare. She tried to force her mind to think. How could she [-ossibly go on with It? It was like being en-euared in a net from which there was no escape. Whichever way she turned it was the same.The words the moneylender had snid were still ringing in her cars when suddenly an Idea came lo her. Dons! perhaps she could help.Grace clutched at that wildly as a possible way out. She decided that she would go straight to the furnishing company and try to catch Doris In her dinner hour. After all. it was. in u way, all Doris’ fault that she was In this fix. Doris had told Pr.d the truth in the first place.I've got a message for you. MissBentley.’ The porter tapped on the glass window of his little office as Doris was leaving work by the staff exit. A boy brought H a little while ago.Thank you. Harry.” Doris look th. envelope from ihe porter’s hand ner vously.She waited until the was out In the street before she opened it, for she felt sure it must be from Fred. Although she had begged him not to call or try to communicate with her ai the shop, she knew that Fred would do whatever suited him best, without considering her.But when she opened the envelope she saw that the handwriting was noi Fred’s.DIAGRAM BROWING PARTS OF AN IDEAL FR1EHAN COW Three part-placing* are applicable lo any DoJry bifced 1.—Head; 2—Forehead; 3—Eye; 4—Face; S-Muzzle; 6-Ear; 7—Horn 6-Jaw; 9-Throat; 19-Neck; 11-Shoulder; 12-Crops; 13-Chinc; 14—loin; 15—Back; 16—Hip or Hipbone; 17—Rump; 18—Thurl; 19—Tall Head; 30-Pln Bone; 21—Tall; 22-Thlgh; 23-Stlfle Point; 24-Hock; 25—Switch; 26—Forearm; 27—Chest; 28—Fore Ribs; 29—Back Ribs; ,; 31-Flank; 32—Mammary Veins; 33-Uddcr; 34-Teats; 35—Shook; 26—Postern; 37—Dewclow; 3*-Hoof.Dear Doris.” she read. I'm in terrible trouble. I'm getting a boy to take this note lo the shop, as Jim doesn’t know I'm In Emsdale. and I don’t want to be seen If possible. I’ll bo waiting in the cafe opposite the post office, in the hope that you can come during your dinner hour—Yours. Grace.Doris read the hurriedly pencilled words as she walked along the pavement. She quickly hid the note away in her bag and turned at once down u aide street that would had her to the cafe where Grace was waiting.What had happened to Grace? she wondered. She felt alarmed and embarrassed at going to sec her friend. For weeks Doris had been trying to summon up her courage to write to Grace, or go over to Roxham to see her. Fred had told her nothing, and Doris did not know whether he had carried out his threat and gone to see her that night, or not. She might not even know he had escaped, since the police were keeping the matter very dark, and there had been nothing about It In the papers.One thing is certain. Doris decided, as she hurried to answer Grace's summons. “I mustn’t tell her that I know where Fred is. I must find out first how much she knows.Doris’ appearance liad altered a lot during the last few weeks. Her pretty face was worried and drawn, and there was constant fear in her eyes; fear I hat someone would begin to suspect that the man for whom she had furnished a room In the same house as herself was not really her brother.She lived in dally terror that the police would see through Fred's disguise, and that he would be arrested and taken back to prison. She knew that if it happened she would almost certainly be sent to prison herself for harbouring an escaped convict. Bui she hardly gave that a thought. In spite of Fred’s callousness and the cruel way he treated her, her love for him remained unshaken, and her only concern was for her husband’s safety.The cafe which Grace had chosen was some little distance away, where it was unlikely that .any of the shop staff would come.Tremendous relief sprang into Grace's eyes as she saw Doris conic In at the door.Doris hurried to the table where Oracc was sitting at the back of the rather dark little shop.Grace dear! What ever'a the matter? How HI you look! Doris felt a pang at her heart as she saw her friend's haggard face.8wlft!y Orace told her everything in a low. hurried voice, breaking off*when-ever ihe waitress came near.Doris’ heart sank lower and lower as she heard how Fred had fulfilled his threat and was blackmailing her.(TO be continued)A 0 NELSONWA^Q^KER/ND JEWELLERThompson sDuitchnge^^'icloria Street.
