EXTRAORDINARY Cows.-Great efforts
are made in some sections of the country
70 improve the breed Of horned cattle and
horses, but too little attention is paid to
prime mich cows. Why a farmer or any
other person, should be willing to keep
an unproductive animal, when far more
productive one would cost no more Tor it's
support, Is wresched species Of political
economy. The value Of piece Of ground
Is In proportion to its products, and the
actual worth Of COW is predicated upon
the Quantity and goodness Of the milk she
yields. Therefore it is the worst folly to
iced poor animal, at the same expense
required to support good COW. The or
ilglnal outlay may be more but in the end
the increased yield will greatly augment
the owners profits. Mr.. Colman's Sc
cond Report mentions some superior cows
IN Berkshire, some Of which probably,
can be equa1led in Hampshire. Mr.. S.
%. Colt of Pittsfeld, has a COW whose
milk yielded 1913 pounds of butter in l4S
days. Mr.. Merrill has one which gives
80 beer quarts daily. Mr.. Fem, Of Stock
bridge, has COW, eight years old, which
has produced in one week, IL lbs, 8 or.
butter, besides milk and cream used in the
family. VIM. Dewey, Of Afford, has a
icow, which has produced for some time.
II lbs of butter week. Mr.. Stephen
Willard Of Stockbridge has COW, which
produced in 81 successive days, 33I lbs
of butter. Mr.. Ashton, of Ashfeld, owns
a COW, whose product for less than eight
months last year was 900 pounds of but
ter. None of. these animals had extra

Good RULEs.-The way to get credit
is to be punctu al-the way to preserve it
is not to use it much. Settle often
have short accounts. u
Trust no mans appearances--they are
deceptive perhaps assumed for the pur-
pose of obtaining credit. Beware of a
gaudy exterior. Rogues usually dress
well. The rich are plain men. Trust
him, if any one, who carries but little on
his back. Never trust him who flies in a
passion on being dunned;-make him pay
quickly if there be any virtue in the law.
Beware Of him who is an office-seeker
men do not usually want Office when
they have any thing to do. A mans az
fairs are rather low when he seeks office
for support. Agree beforehand with eve.
ny man about to do job; and if large,
put it into writing-if any decline this,
quit, or expect to be cheated. Though
you want Job ever so much, make all
sure at the onset; and in case at all
doubtful, make sure of guarantee. Be
not afraid to ask it; it is the best test of
responsibilities, for if offence be taken
you have escaped a loss.--Somebody.
A LAWYER OUTw1TrsD.- Several years
ago young gentleman went to consult a
certain attorney, how he might carry of
an heiress. you cannot do it with safe
ty,' replied the counsellor, 'but I'll tell
you what you may do-let her mount a
horse, and hold bride and whip, do you
then mount behind her, and you are safe
for she runs away with YOU The
counsellor, however, was sufficiently pun
ished for his quibbling advice, when next
day, he found it was his own daughter
who had ran away with his client.
THE EMPEROR TRAJAN.-.Y GU teach
said the Emperor Trajan to the Rabbi
Joshua, that your God is everywhere,
and boast that he resides amongst your
nation; should like to see him. Gods
presence is indeed everywhere replied
Joshua: but he cannot be seen; no NOR
tai eye can behold his glory The En-
peror insisted. WELL said Joshua, sup
pose we try to look first at one of his am
bassadors The Emperor consented.
I he rabbi took him in the open air at
MONDAY, and babe him look at the sun in
his meridian splendour. i cannot, the
light dazzels me- Thou art unable,'
said Joshua, SO endure the light of one of
his creatures, and canst thou expect to be-
hold the resplendant glory Of the creator !?
Would not such sight annihilate vou!
