Proportion of Cream to Milk.

The. proportion of cream to milk yielded by cows of various breeds used in the dairy, was ascertained by experiment, in England some tune since, to be as follows: Brit tany cows, 1927 to P per cent. of cream: Jerseys, 1865 to 20 per cent; cross of Jersey and Short horn 17.95 to 20.95 per cent. :: Short horn or Durham 15.32 to 1866 per cent; Devon 14.S6 to HOO per cent; and Ayrshyre, 13.- 1T to 14.S7 per cent. The varia- tions depend on the feed, which for the lowest yield was for grass or hay only, and for the highest was the most abundant food of the richest character that could be produced. As general thing, however, cream is yielding inlarg- CT proportion in our dairies than those in England. We have been assured by MT. Crozier, Northport, L. l., that he has taken one quart of cream from three quarts of milk from ono of his Jersey cows.

PHATIGALLY THE
 PEOPLES PAPER."

THE DEMOCRAT is thoroughly in- dependent in its course, unde. no pledge or covenant to support the schemes or fortunes of any man or set of men, always having at heart first, the good of the people of Pope county, and of the state of Arkan sas. It claims no right to lead or direct in politics, or any other sphere; but it does claim the right, and will fearlessly and at all times assert it, to speak it's own opinions, on all matters coming within the scope ofits duty as an independent journal. Whatever prominence it maintains in the affairs of this county or State, will be voluntarily accorded by the people who support it. In short the DEMOCRAT wishes to be judged solely upon it's own merits as local and state newspa- per, having for it's chief object the | dissemination of the news of the day with such comments upon current topics as seem appropriate and are conscientiously entertained by its management It will heartily sup | port all movements, polltical or otherwise, which promise to fur thur, and unhesitatingly oppose those which would jeopardize, the interests of the people. In every department it will be.as enterpris- ing as its patronage will justify. Sensible men will approve the busi- ness management that limits expen- diture to the bounds of income; on- ly fools or enemies expect . degree of excellence in all points that can alone be attained by the possession of resources and income.
