lars regarding it. The first Of the
family we hear Of was bought by
CHARLES ColliGg from the Duke OF
Northumberland's agent at Stanwlx. a
massive, short-legged COW, of yellow
lsh-red color, with the breast near the
ground. She had a wide back and was
great grower. Colling called her
Duchess, and had often described her
to Bates as a very superior animal.
particularly in her handling, and
told him he considered her the
best COW he had ever seen, but
that lie could never breed so good a
one from her. She was descended from
the old stock of Sir Henry Smlthson.
of Stanwix. Thomas Bates bought
from Colling one of the descendants
Of this COW in 1904 for 100 guineas, be-
ing the same l mentioned as being
such a fine dairy animal and he
bought another at Ceilings sale in
1910. For the latter he paid lS2 gum.

from her all of the present family de.

to select this tribe from having found
that they are great growers and quick
feeders, with fine quality of meat, con.

their growth, and also finding that

doctors, separate aud distinct diseases. for

Stunning them TO be such, when, in reality,
they are all symptoms caused bv some uterine

perhaps to palliate for time. they are igno-
rant OF the cause, and encourage their prac-
tce until large bills are made, when the suf-
ioung patients are no better 10 the end, but
probably worse for the delay, treatment, and

Farmer:
With your PERMISSION, ] will give
my experience witt. the Odessa wheat,

els OF wheat WAS sown on five acres of
corn stubbIe, which had not been
plowed, Dat the seed was well put in
by two norse cultivators; the yield was
one hundred and twenty bushels No.
wneat.
In another field ten bushels cf wheat
was sown on ten acres of land that had
been cropped with flax the preceding
year and fall plowed. The yield in
this field was two hundred and thirty
bushels No. l wheat AT the market
price of $1.25 per bushel, the crop
from the ten acres would bring 1897. 80.
Deducting seed, ten bushels, at 81 80

suit with a ten acre field of equally
good land on an adjoining farm sown
with common tea wheat
Twenty bushels of wheat was sown.
and the yield was one hundred bushels
No. 2 wheat. At 81 a bushel it would
amount to 800. Deducting seed,
twenty bushels, at 81 Is a bushel, S25,

the Odessa wheat of S197. so.
The average yield per acre for the
more than two million acres of wheat
raised in Illinois, in 1872, was but thir.
teen and two.tenths bushels.
The three principal causes of this
low average are t; First, defective till
age; second, unfavorable season
third, poor seed, which | maintain Is
the most important Of the three. Per.

A FIGHT occurred at East Walker
River, Nevada, about a fortnight ago,
which Eastern sporting men would
have given something To see. A dog
only eight months old pursued Rocky
Mountain lynx into the river. The
lynx was four feet long and over two
feet high. They fought under the
water for about fifty yards. Then they
came TO the surface. They let go their
holds and went down again. When
they came up the dog had killed the
LYNX.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Potato PIow.


The Mark Lane Express has the
following on one of the implements
exhibited before the Royal Agricultural
Society
Corbett and Peele's pillow has sim
gle mold board, and has revolving
disc composed of several teeth or tines,
which by simple attachment is fixed
to the handles of the plow, and works
just behind the mold board, catching
the furrow as it is moved by the pillow
and tearing it in pieces. As 1t is fixed
to work at an angle to the mold board
and to the furrow, the potatoes are de-
posted on the surface of the pulverized
land, and very few fall into the furrow
sole, where they would be covered by
the next ridge unless gathered imme.
diately after the pillow. BY this single
mold board two-thirds, or nearly all
the ridge, is turned over and broken
up on the mold moard side, and the
furrow sole left has scarcely single
potato in it. Tue revolving disc, act.
ing on the whole furrow, at once pro-
duced a fine level and broad bed for
potatoes to fall upon.
This pillow was put to work upon
Regent potatoes, the tops of which
were ripe, aud made capital work. A
few potatoes we're buried by the mold
thrown up by the disc, but there was
no scratching at all for the gatherers.
and they could gather much more
rapidly than after the ordinary pillow
used in the district
A great merit of this principle is that
it is adaptable to any ordinary pillow at
the cost of 60. The pillow with a rotary
disc is here shown as one implement.
but virtually the invention consists in
an apparatus to be attached 10 a pillow
and forming part of its fittings or fur
niture, like the share or the coulter.
but only to be used for special pnr,
poses. 1t will, however, pulverize land
winter-plowed in ridges, or at the time
of blowing, most efficiently.
