ters it is of more Importance to
breeders than may appear at first sight
Many farmers wish to breed better
calves from favorlte COWS. TO accom-
plish this nothing more Is necessary
than to watch carefully when the COW
is IN heat, and, before milking her, to
take her to the bull Five times out OF
six the resulting calf will be a heiier.
The rule, however, will not work so
well when the opposite sex is required.
II the rule fails under some cases of
management, the cause is due to not
taking the cows in time, as the instan-
stances from which the above rule was
taken were in constant trial for ten
years, during which time a large dairy
of heifer calves was reared from two OF
three favorlte cows 1t seems that the
full udder causes the sex to be pretty
nearly determined, as even it partially
relieved by milking the desired result
Is not by any means so likely to fol
low"

Teaching Gardening rs an Art.

We find the following very credlta-

papers uncredited. We make room for

Touching this subject, S. Is. Parsons
writes; Gentlemen of large income,
with country places, the proper man
agement OF which would give more
pleasure to q whole family than any
thing else, are unwilling to pay more
than 81, GOO per year for a good gar

lifetime. They will give 50, 600 to a
bookkeeper. whose knowledge can be
acquired III a year; they Will eXpend
one to five thousand dollars III a

and yet would think themselves very
extravagant it they gave $4,000

and who could make their grounds and
gardens like Il veritable paradise.

gardener can be sure of &, coo or 50, 0G0

The question of the possibility of
controlling sex IN animals has long
been a vexed one. The Investigations,
so far as they come under the observa-
ton of the Western Rural, have not
carried conviction that the sexes can
be produced at the Will of the breeder
with any degree of certainty. A CORE
spondent of the Canada Farmer thus
gives his views on the subject, the

Having Cows Come in in the FAN.

1t IS worth considering whether it
would not be a good plan for some
farmers who milk half dozen or more
COWS, making butter for sale, to change
the usual plan and have their COWS
calve about September 1st. There is
certainly something III favor OF such a
plan, 1t would give fair butter pro-
ductlon during the time when prices
are the highest, the quantity produced
diminishing at the time when prices
are declining IN spring, aud during
July and August, when the price for
butter Is low, when it is difficult to
make good butter, when the farmer
family Is especially busy with the ha =
vest work, and when the pastures are
parched by drouth, the COWS would be
having. their annual rest from milk
giving.
The time suggested for calving would
not be so good if the calves were to be
ralsed-as they are ordinarily treated
and they would require good treatment
during the winter If the plan was to be
made successful. -Fdrners Union.

The first American Newspaper.

The story of the first American
newspaper, brief as was its life, is full
Of curious interest Seventy years
after the landing of the Pilgrims on
Plymouth Rock, and two hundred
and fifty years after the invention Of
printing, newspaper was issued in
Boston. 1t lived one day, and only
one copy is known 70 have been pre-
served That copy was discovered
by the historian of Salem, the Rev.
j. Is. Felt, in the Colonial State
paper Office, in London, while engag-
ed in researches relating to the histo-
~ of his own city The pioneer of
American journalism was published
by Benjamin Harris at the London
Coffee House, Boston, and was print
ed for him bv Richard Pierce, on
Thursday the 25th of September, 1880
nearly two centuries after the dis
coverv of the New World by Co
lumbus The paper was printed on
three pages Of folded sheet, leaving
one page blank, with two columns to
a page. and each page about eleven
inches by seven in size Harris pro-
posed to issue his paper once a month,
or oftener if there should be 2 'glut
of occurrences" His frst-and as it
turned out his only number-coGtain-
ed several columns of home and for
eign gossip, without 4 word of editO-
rial comment Unfortunately for the
success of his undertaking, he printed
one or two items of local and militia
ry news which set the official busy
bodies in ferment of Indignation.
The legislative authorities solemnly
determined that the paper came out
contrary to law, and that it contained
reflections Of very high nature"
To prevent Mr.. Harris from issuing a
second number, they forbade any
thing in print without license first
obtained from those authorized by
the government to grant the same"
In this way the first American news
paper came to grief; and but for the
accidental preservation of single |
copy in London, its very name would
have passed into Oblivion.-HaTPer'S /.

this proceeding was conducted upon
a sound rational basis, he would ex-

difficulty encountered by Mr.. Singer
ly at the outset was that he had an
extremely large kite and mournfully
small dog, and the conclusion of the
undertaking may therefore be antici-
pated, especially when we intimate
that the wind was high The resi-
dents of the neighborhOod were sur
prised to see dog rushing back

bic velocity, clawing and scratching

4 second Daniel Boone.

Near the confluence Of Sang Run
and the Big Youghiougheny lived
until recently Meshach Browning. a
celebrated Maryland hunter, who "es-
cheated about one thousand acres Of
land in the latter part Of his DAYS,
built grist mill; and left a name re-
vered by large pOsterity. He was
the son ola subalteran English sol
dier who escaped from Braddocks
battle, and was born in Frederick
county, Maryland, in III. He new
er saw his father, and his mother
married again His childless aunt
took him to Western Maryland, and
he kept his first remembrance as an
inmate of old Teen Friends cabin,
in Buffalo Marsh. He was the legit-
innate successor of the first settler of
the country, and lived down to the pc
riod of our civil wa-
Meshach Browning never had more
than six months schooling After
St. Clair's defeat his uncle fell back
with some forty settlers to Blooming
Rose, where the future hunter met
his woodland wife. He married her
against the opposition of her father,
who turned both ofthem out of doors.
After this he hunted constantly, sell
dom wearing his hat on the hunt, and
often killing bears, buck deers, and
even panthers, in close grapple, with
his hunting knife. He began to hunt
in l795, and killed his last game in
1929. In that period he killed from
eighteen hundred to two thousand deer
between three hundred and four hun
dred bears, fifty panthers and cata-
mounts, and scores of wolves and
wildcats
Browning lived with his first wife
forty years, and with the second
eighteen years He was much en-
feebled with rheumatism, but still
bore traces of a great frame, and re-
tanned all his kindly nature Francis
p. Blair. Sr., thought his life as a
hunter fully as notable as Daniel
BOOne's.
