Superiority Of Alderney Milk.

The comparative value of the milk OF
Alderney and common COWS has been the
subject of a recent trial by Thomas NJ.
Harvey, formerly of :he Experimental
Farm at West Grove Friend Harvey is
now conducting a large farm on his own
account, but still finds time and occasion
for profitable experiments La the PrGc-
HcGt Fdrmer for December he gives the
result of his Investigations on the above
question. He took eight quarts each of
Alderney Guernsey and native milk
the former weighing Ii pounds t ounces,
and the latter II pounds 8 ounces when
set. The cream from the common cows
measured 9-l6th of quart and weighed
l9 ounces; that from the Alderney>
measured Ii quarts and weighed 5Oi
ounces. The time required for churning
was 81 minutes for the native, and %
minutes for the Alderney cream. The
product of butter was Q ounces from the
natives, and % ounces from the Alder
neys. The common butter lost half an
ounce in working the Alderncy butter
lost nothing From this trial Friend Har
vey concludes that a pound of butter can

milk, while some cows will yield pound
from 6 quarts. 1t requires from II to II
quarts of ordinary milk to produce i
pound of butter. Alderney milk, in con

weighs somewhat less per quart than com
mon milk The butter is of a rich color
and appearance, and needs no addition OF
foreign substances The native cows
kept by Mr., Harvey whose milk was
used in this experiment, are rather bet

Brown & keller. have certainly hit

the nail on the head this time in their efforts
to please both the big and the little folks,
during the holidays. 4 general examination
of the department Of their business. devoted
to Christmas and New Year presents, both
for old and young, has convinced us that no
region of Toy-dom was left unsearched, in
their determination to be able to meet any
demand upon them. Our whole newspaper
would hardly afford space enough to make
mere mention of half the things they have
for sale but we know that no matter what
you seek, from the penny whistle, to the gem
that runs way up in the dollars, you cannot
fail to find it at Brown & Keller's. While
we met with many toy, familiar to US from
our youth up, we saw surpriz!ng number
of novelties, either of which could not fail to
make some big or little heart happy Call
by all means, and call early SO as to secure a
choice and whether it be family Bible or
Hymn book, fit for present from king or
queen to a prince or princes, a Jewelled
memento, or toy, you will be surprized
both at their excellence of quality, and at
their extreme cheapness.

last as Mr. John Garside, spinner, former
ly employed in the Woolen Mills, was pick
ing coal on the railroad, he was struck by
the locomotive of southern bound noon pas
senger train, and SO severely injured as to
cause his death in a few hours thereafter.
The deceased was very clever, inofensive
man, and was much respected by all who
knew him. He was very deaf, and eviden-
tly did not hear the approaching train, to
which his back was turned Every effort
was made by the Engineer and Fireman to
attract his attention, by blowing the whistle
and throwing small pieces of coal at him,
but without avail. He leaves family
(wife and two small children) in INDECENT
circumstances to mourn his loss.

The Lancaster IateUigencsr, one of the
soundest and most influential Democratic
journals in Pennsylvania, published the fol-
lowing sensible article, q few days before the
meeting of the Baltimore convention. 1t pos
sesses quite as much force at the present
time:
We think there ought to be universal ac-
quiescencc on the part of Democrats in the
decision of the Baltimore Convention, if the
nominations are made in accordance with
the time-honored usages of the party. A.
National Convention is the highest party TIL
bunal known in this country and its decision
should be acquiesced in unless public policy
and the good of the country require that il
be disrcgarded. If the Baltimore Convention
presents platform and candidate preferable
to those adopted at Philadelphia, 40 Demo-
crat can give a valid excuse for refusing to
vote the ticket. Party organizations in this
country serve good purpose. They enable
those who favor certain governmental prin-
ciples to carry into effect the views they en-
terrain. The first thing to be looked into is
the ultimate objects and the immediate pur-
poses of political parties and it is the duty
of every good citizen to give an active sup
port at the polls to that party which most
nearly represents his political opinions.
Few intelligent men find all their ideas fully
covered by the creed of any political sarty,
but, with practical good sense, they general
ly act in republican governments with the
organization which most nearly agrees with
them. Thus is the object of free govern
ment carried out, and the greatest good to
the greatest number secured"
