In France. An original Jersey was very
far from being a handsome animal Its

Guernsey farmer regards the butter-mak-
Ing property as most important, because
II Is from 1t, on account of the excellent
color and favor, that he derives his high
prices and his chief revenue. Within the
past 20 years these cattle have materially
increased in size, and they are noted for
fattening with great facility when they are
fed for that purpose. Beyond their value

How to got Plssty Of rrssA Egg.

to think that the constituent parts OF milk

that wheat middlings and bran are about

hens lay eggs? tried 1t. and since then
have had no trouble. My mode OF prepar-

Moss in Pastures.

have no little trouble In keeping them free
from unsightly weeds. Many devices have
been employed TO overcome the dificulty
with varying success. The following can
be easily applied. and is well worth Il trial
"A most efficient agent for the destruction
OF weeds, and one not expensive, can oe

To CLEAN AND RESTORE THE ELASTICITY
OF CANE CHAIH BOTTOMS, CoUcHEs, &c
Turn up the chair bottom, and with hot
water and sponge wash the cane work
SO that II may be thoroughly soaked.
Should ii be dirty, use a little soap. Let
IL dry in the air. and il will be as tight and
firm as when new, provided the cane is not
broken.
To COLOR KID GLovEs.-Put q handful
OF Logwood into q bowl, cover with
alcohol, and let 1t soak until II looks strong
one day perhaps. Put one glove on the
hand, dip small wooden cloth or sponge
into the liquid, wet the glove all over, rub
II dry and hard until 1t shines, and IL will
be nice purple. Repeat the process, and
1t will be black.
LEMON PIE.-One lemon for two pies :.
Crate the rind and pulp up nne, taking care
not to get the least bit Of seed in. Take
one and one-half cups OF sugar, broken
with the yolks of four eggs, one and one

tate, the following is not a bad illus:
tration: -Four years since German
milk-seller thought he would move
some where out of the city, and enjoy
life and prosecute the production of
milk by himself. So, looking around
to find place where no one else was,
he fixed upon couple of acres of land
which now front on the South Park,
at fifty first street, and gave for tho
two acres $500. The miIk-man was
sure that the owner of the land Was
an extortionate individual, but that
same milkman sold his two acres last

foot, the lots being 250 feet deep.
