From The Country Gentleman
Having seen so many accounts Of
late in the agricultural papers in ref
euce to some Of the great mixers OF
the day. I give you herewith correct
statement OF a grade Durham cow
eight years old, and weighing 1850
pounds. .-.".
In May. 1870, 1 started out one
morning to buy new mich COW for
family use. On reaching lions Hill
two miles south OF my Place, I noticed
fine, large, red cherry COW, and on
Inquiry found her owner. She Of
course was not for sale, but made an
offer of 800, which took the old gen
tlemau by surprise, $50 at that time he"
ing O big figure for common COW.
he told me to wait until he had seen
his wife. In q few minutes he made
his appearance, and told me if | would
give him $3.50 might have her, pro
yided I would leave Der another week,
until they had tested her butter-mak-
ing qualities. as they all thought che
was an extra good COW. l bought her
at once. They tested her, and she
made 90 pounds Of butter in seven
DAYS and one milking, but only gave
IS quarts OF milk per day. o.
course she was fed everything she
c ould eat. On getting her home, she
made her Is pounds of butter per
week right along, without extra feed
ing, aud was usually MIXED ten
months out of twelve. ] afterwards
sold her for big price to Denis Smith,
who has her at the present day, and II
would take a good many common cows
10 induce him to part with her. She
is the only cow he has had for the last
four years. How is this for a Short
Horn ? Z. S. c., Coopersburg, Pa.

Madame Du Barry in 1866. 1t is a
small building seventy-two feet square,
decorated with futed columns and
pilasters. In front was the orangery,
consisting of fifty large orange trees in
huge boxes standing in semi circle.
That the king had a real passion for
flowers is clearly evident from the way
his courtiers took to 1atter him on one
evening when he was to visit the Petit
Trianon: they ornamented the whole
front of the orangery with species of
flower new or very rare in France be-
fore that time, arranged In twenty-four
letters, each seven and half feet high.
These formed the words, "ViVe ie Roi
Louis u Bien.Aime," the whole finely
illustrated.
The little Trianon and its gardens,
fearfully mutilated during the Revolu-
ton, were nobly restored by Louis
Philippe after he had converted Yer.
sailles into an historical museum and
such as they appeared In 1897 they still
remain. The palace is white marble
building embowered in luxuriant folia.
