1t is estimated that the capital invest
ed in the dairy business in the Uuited
States at the present time, is equal TO
six hundred millions of dollars. The
dairy exports the past year foot up about
fifteen millions of dollars.
At late meeting of the Philadelphia
Agricultural Society discussion took
place as to the comparative value of
Jersey and Guernsey cattle for dairy
purposes. The decision was in favor of
the former as being the more hardy
breed, and fully equal, if not superior,
TO the latter in productive qualities.
Flax-seed occasionally given to horses
or cattle will make them shed their old
hair, and whether young or old, soon
get sleek and fat. 1t is the only thing
which will fatten some old horses. SO

1t is upon climate, not upon variety
that good white wheat depends. a

prove that it contains great fattening

or sow an insufficient quantity, and the
next half dozen years cut only hall
crop of hay. The barn is yearly filled
with swamp grass, that the cattle only
eat to keep from starvation, when few
days labor, with judicious draining,
would convert the swamp into the best
timothy meadow in town. a herd of
cows are kept, whose yield of milk will

this class of people are poor, or that they
complain that farming don't pay? 1t
is doubtful if this class of farmers can be
improved, but let us hope that with the

Agricultural College, the next genera
ton will be wiser for their own interest

John Kane, an old cOuntryman, for
many wears a resident of Chicago, a
man in moderate, though comfortable
circumstances, received, a few weeks
since. incarnation from his home in Ire
land. that handsome fortune had been
bequeathed TO him and the legacy, all in
hard cash, lay in bank, to be disposed
ofaccording to his directions. Toahard-
working man like Kane this was certain
ly good news, and it almost set him wild
with Joy. He decided to set out for the
old country Immediately. 1t would not
do, he said, to trust money matters 10
strangers. He might be swindled out of
most oft, if he relied upon others TO pro-
cure it for him. No, he must 60 him
self. In accordance with this resolution
he left, about ten days since, and every
body who had any knowledge of his
journey supposed that he was ere this al
most half way across the Atlantic.
But it appears that the good fortune
that came to John Kane was more than
he could bear Last Friday information
was received at Chicago, that Kane had
been picked up on the street in Jersey
City, n. j., 10 all appearance q confirm
ed mnatic. As John is rich, nothing
will be left undOne to ameliorate his pitt
full condition. Good care and kind at
tention may possibly restore him to the
enjoyment of his reason and his newly
acquired wealth some day.
