AN OLD Com. The Benares CORES
pendent of the Mussoorie Sebson writes
| have just seen curiosity of the old.
en- time, which, as a relic of the palmy
days of Ind. | must describe to your
readers. 1t is hundred mohur piece
veritable gold coin worth sixteen hun.
dred rupees, of grand and stately as.
pect, suited to its decent and its erea,
value. 1t is four feet in diameter and
halt an inch thick, and its disk is cover
ed with cabalistic looking characters
some being bits of Persian poetry, and
others, more prosaic, setting forth its
date. 1t belongs to the reign of Au.
rnngzebe, and bears date of the Mo-
hammedan era which is about 1917 of
ours. One wonders in how many hands
great, noble, and famous-t the old coin
has been since that date was first craven
On Its golden face: 1t looks very fresh
and new, in spite of its eight hundred
years, and it is not likely to have been
much knocked about, as sixteen hundred
rupees is not sum which changes hands

A YANKEE MoNARcH.-An Ameri.
can named Pease has quietly taken pos
session Of an island in the Pacific, where
he has raised the American flag. The
island is one of the BONN group, OF
which the San Francisco Bulletin saws:
They were uniuhabited until 1926, when
a settlement was made by some sailors.
In 1858 Commodore Perry recommended
them as an available depot for the steam.
ers which he thought would some day ply
between Japan and California. Suisse
quently, Pease visited the islands and
took possession of the largest, called
Peel Island. He commenced raising
sheep, and has become prosperous by
trading them off in Japan. Mr.. Pease,
who is flying the stars and stripes, is
ready to make formal surrender of his
right. title and interest to the people Of
the United States for suitable consider.
alton = amount not stated. 1t is not
known whether Japan assumes any SOW
ereignty over the BONN islands. but it is
iutimsted that if the United States desire
them, no objection would be raised by
that government

A Good Cow.

In answer to the question "What is a
good cowS correspondent Of the
Country Gentleman says;
The working of COW has aptly been
compared to the running of machine.
1t requires certain amount of power to
overcome the friction and whatever
power we have over, goes to the work.
1t requires a certain amount Of food to
keep the COW in fair condition, and the
surplus goes to produce milk or fat. A
COW whose digestive apparatus enables
her TO convert large amount of surplus
food into milk, is good COW for milk,
and a COW that has capacity to convert a
large amount of surplus food into fat is
good COW for the butcher. The COW, or
breed of COWS, whose milk contains a
large PERCENTAGE of casein, is good COW
to breed for the cheese dairy, while the
COW whose milk is rich in cream is good
COW for the butter dairy. If it was pos
sible to combine all these qualities in
one animal, we would have good COW
for all purposes. Milk that is rich in
casin is not likely to be rich in butter,
and the COW that yields two or three
pounds per day of fat in butter, cannot
in the nature of things put SO much fat
on her back. If one wants good but.
ter COW, he must select cow bred fol
her butter-producing qualities, and SC
for milk, cheese or beef.

The Prairie Farmer seems disposedfo

among other considerations
"But there are other things in favor
Of going East instead Of West, If there
is reason for changing ones location.
The further we go towards the seaboard
cities the higher are prices for everything
the farmer produces, while the further
we 90 West till we approach the min
ing region, the lower is the price for
nearly every article. Particularly is il

garden vegetables; the things, after all,
in which there is the most profit, consid'

higher becomes the price of nearly ev'

i any kind of building material or ar
ticles for the use of the family. Tourists

their possessions. Soon these will b.
moving in the other direction.
