county, New York, wants to keep more
COWS, and asks if it viii pay best to buy /
more land at $75 per acre, or hire more
help at $22 per month and board, and
commence soiling as a means of in
creasing his herd on 13O-acre farm.
F. D. Curtis would not advise the pur-
chase of more land. He would increase
the farm help and adopt soiling. One
man additional to take care of the
stock would be all that is needed. Had
rather have one additional man and the
land. More land involves more help.
The product may be doubled on $50
acres by soiIing, and the stock doubled
without increasing the labor required
proportionately. Would advise to be-
gin slow, and as experience teaches him
perfect and enlarge his system. IF he
secures successive crops of clover,
orchard grass, rye, corn. ETC., he can
quickly double the products of his dai
ny, and at same time the productive

soil faster than by any other method.
Mr.. Crane agrees with Mr.. Curtis is
in a neighborhood where this soiling
system has been developed and is prac-
ticed to large extent. Men who have
kept but five and ten COWS, now keep
ten and twenty on the same land men
who kept fifty COWS with difficulty, now
keep a hundred with ease. There is no
doubt about the profits of soiling. The
crop most depended upon for soiling is
corn not sowed broadcast, but in
drills. These men SOW corn every two
weeks, from the timG the ground is IN
condition up to the middle or Both of
August. It doubles up to the ability of
the farm to keep stock, and the soil is
constantly growing richer. DR.. Sylves-
ter called attention to orchard-gra as
an early crop for forage in place of clo-
yer. It starts in spring and is ready for
cutting much earlier than clover. His
was headed out this spring four weeks
from the time the snow left the ground.

The cares, anxieties and mIsfortunes of life have

Live and Dead Weight of Cattle.


It is well known that the amount
of flesh obtained from animals sold
by live weight is exceedingly varia-
BILE, even in animals of the same
breed, as so much depends on the con-
dition or fairness of the beast. There
is also a great variation in the quantity
of the meat in breeds; as a rule, the
finer breed of the animals the more en-
inent the prime points, the Short horns
and Herefords being noted for muscle
and fat, and the Ayershires and Jerseys
being types of milk producing breeds.
Again the Jerseys are eminent
for richness Of milk, and the
Ayershires for quantity. The Eng
lish, French and Belgians have institu-
ted numerous experiments to show the
weight of the different parts of the ami
NAL slaughtered. Two instances, one a
bullock, another a sheep, will suffice.
In the case of an OK live weight of
1922 pounds, yielded, meat, TIA
pounds skin, 1902; grease, So;
blood. 55 !; feet and hoofs, %; head,
II; tongue, Sc; lungs and heart,
1888 liver and spleen, 80.5; intes-
tines, 66.15; loss and evaporation,
1852; making the total of 1922
pounds.
The product of a sheep weighing
HOOP pounds were as follows Meat,
55.1 skin, III grease, 5.51 blood,
4 sos; feet and hoofs, 2.2O4 head,
44O9 tongue, lungs, heart, liver and
spleen, 3.4O8; intestines, 6.612; loss
and evaporation, 10. $50, making total
of HOOP pounds.
cattle yield as much as seventy per
cent. meat, while others only give fifty
per cent. The mean weight of meat
produced is calculated at fifty-fve per
cent. of live weight. In the case of the
sheep, the production is from forty to
forty-five per cent, the fatter animals
always give the greatest net weight.
To show how the same rule will apply
to the United States, we may state that
in New York native steers are allowed
ffty-six pounds to the hundred, live
weight, while grades are estimated at
ffty-six to sixty-six pounds per hun
dred. As an instance, weighing net 500
to 700 pounds, will bring 81 to 124 cents
per pound those weighing from 700 to
800 pounds will bring 123 to IA cents,
and grade steers 875 to 1900 pounds
will bring 14E to Is cents, and weigh
ing 1, 400 to 1, 800 pounds will bring IA
to IS cents.

A Curious Exhibition.

A needlework exhibition, got up by
the Princess Christian, is now is pro-
gress at the South Kensington museum
in London. It has high historical in
terest. No article of later date than
1900 has been admitted, and there is no
lace or woven tapestry to be seen. Wis
itors may here muse over an embroi-
dered shirt that belonged to Charles I.
of England, and the mantle he wore on
the scaffoId at his execution. Then
there is a star from sampler worked in
colored silk by the wife of Charles II,
on which her loving fingers inscribed !:
" The Dist of Maye was our marriage
daye." Poor queen &! But saddest are
the memories awakened of Mary Queen
of Scots. Three relics, displayed at the
exhibition, attest the dizziness of her fin
gers. There is a bady-Iinen basket,
which she worked for her ungrateful
son, James l.. also work-box, repre-
senting Jacobs Dream, done while she
was at Holyrood; and lastly, beautiful
chair-covering and cushion, executed
during her confinement at Fotheringay.
All these memorials belong to Queen
Victoria. It seems strange to realize,
as demonstrated to us here, that the
virago Elizabeth once made baby linen
for her sister Mary eighteen pieces OF
handiwork in this line are shown. There
are also various little toilet articles
that belonged to Elizabeth, such as hel
night-cap, her shoes, and pillow-case, {
pin-cushion, and a toilet-cover. Sill
hangings, beautiful and fresh, as if Just
from the loom, are marked as having
decked the bridsl-bed of Marie Antoi
nette. There lisa beautiful quilted cover

stretch from post to post outside, fas-

That planted Paradise was not so firm
As was and is Thy floating Ark, whose stay
Aud anchor Thou art only, to confirm
And strengthen it in every age,
When waves do rise, and tempests rage.
At FIRST we lived in pleasure;
Thine own delights Thou didst to rs impart
When we grew wanton, Thou didst use displeasure
To make us Thine; Yet that might not part,
As we at first did board with Thee,
Now Thou wOuldst taste misery.
There is but joy and grief;
II either VIII convert US, we are Thine;
some angels used the first if our relief
Take up the second, then Thy double line
And sev'ral bats in either kind
Furnis8- Thy table to thy mind.
Addiction, then, is ours;
We are the trees, whom shaking fastens more,
while bIustring winds destroy the Wonton bowers,
ana rune all their curious knots and store.
My God, so temper Joy and woe,
That thy bright beams may tame Thy bow.
