The Report of the Auditor General for
1875 page 104, shows that p. Bernheisel,
Jr. was paid in that year $16.067, for
building addition to this same office and
that l.. M. Simon was also paid 1888. .SS

vices as architect on the same. 1t might
be interesting to add that Mr.. Simon also
got las per same report) $3.SS6.63 for
services as architect page 03, for re-
pairs to the hall of the House of Repre-
sentatives for 1875. 1t seems to be q
very nice thing to belong to 6 the Har-
risburg ring" and from the above it is
evident that there is ring, which takes
very good care of itself. Some of these
charges are simply outrageous, and it
can hardly be expected that any person
would look at these items and think that
the services charged for, were hon
esuy rendered. The Auditor General es-
Inmates that the State has lost $100,000
the past five or six years through dis
honest county officials and conniving
clerks in the departments.
After looking over the above, most
persons will think the Auditor General
might extend his list of sources by which
the State is swindled.

Profits orsheep Raising.

The following, from.s Pennsylvania
farmer, shows that sheep raising Is pro,
ftsble: al learn from the Agricultural
Report of 1870 that. there were nearly
seven acres OF unimproved land In Penn
sylvsnis to each sheep. and that esch
produced little more than three and
half pounds of wool. This, at 40 cents
per pound, amounts to S2500,0OO. My
object in giving these figures Is TO show
the profit OF this branch of agriculture.
| am now keeping on an average farm
one sheep TO every two acres improved
land. The wool of each sheep averages
four pounds, but these sheep do not con-
sumo one-hslI the hay and grain raised
and do not receive any roots. Last year
| raised my first crop OF sugar-beets, and
find that thirty or forty tons may be
raised per acre. think these will en-.
able me TO keep at least one sheep 10
every improved acre, and still have one
half the hay, grain and roots left to feed
the team and necessary cattle. If these
conclusions be correct, and one-hslf OF
my sheep raise twin lambs, making
total of one and one-half lambs to each
sheep, worth 81 ecch, we have a total OF
So for every lamb a1d 81 go for wool
per acre, or 18,5O0O00 for lambs and
500, 100000 for wool in Pennsylvania. l
can not give the value of lambs for 1870
and can not compare the difference.
The wool produce was 100000 pounds,
but al my estimate there would be 49,
600 eco pounds, making difference OF
SIG,00O,000 at 40 cents per pound. This
result is, OF course, not attainable in one
or two years; it must be brought about
by degrees. l find sheep are liable to
disease if kept in large focks, unless the
very best breeding ewes are selected and
the rams changed each year.-Ne0 York

The Cow For Small Farms.

Baltimore Sun.
The farmer who usually keeps a few
COWS. from which he expects to realize u
money profit, besides supplying his own
table with plenty OF milk aud butter
should keep only those OF such breed as Is
best adapted to the purpose. In order to
do solhe has but to consult the observatlo3
and experience OF others to find out that
the Jersey i. far preferable to all othors.
TIE cows OF this breed are easily kept,
very docile and beautiful, yielding miik
of a superior richness, from which ls
produced butter which for color, sOlidlty
and fine flavor, is uneQualed. As evil
denCe of this, the butter made from Jor-
sew cows, commands as u general thing,
from % to so per cent. better price IN
our Northern cities than that OF any
other breed.
Nor is it necessary for the farmer TO
incur any e. pense in providing himself
with herd OF such cows. Grades are
found to be but little inferior to thor
oughbreds, and it is an easy matter 10
procure a thoroughbred bull calf, and by
crossing him with good native COWS, TO
build up a herd o! superior ANIMALS. 1t
is 40 uncommon thing for a grade .Jer-
sey to yield from SIX TO eight pounds OF
butter a week besides furnishing An
abundance of milk and cream fer an or
binary family. And whilst there are
prodigies in any breed, the ordinary
Jersey cow may be relied on to give u
pound of butter day, and average 1t the
wear round. They seldom 90 dry many
DAYS before cslving, and are sometimes
found difficult to dry oil At ali, A record
OF from ten to sixteen pounds OF butter "
week is not st all rare; and then how en-
coursglng il must be TO. the good house
wi to know that she can aid her nus
band in providing many OF the little ne
cesities and comforts OF home from the
sale OF her dairy produce, and that to en-
able ner to do so she has cows yielding a
quantity of rich golden butter, so sohd
and waxy as TO command the highest
price IL the market. Another great ad-
vantage CT Jersey cows is that 1t costs
less 10 keep them than those OF any other
breed, while their calves command prices
tar bcvond anything the butchers are
willing to give.
On large farms, where the raising OF
cattle for beet is the object, the short
horns are undoubtedly entitled TO the
precedence, but on ordinary farms, where
making butter is an object, the Jersey
cow is u necessity not to be easily dis
persed with 4 well-bred bu.l.calt OF
this breed can be bought for about S25
and with three or tour good native cows
to start with a farmer can soon supply
himself with { herd of half and three
quarter blood cows but little inferior 70
thoroughbreds. When we speak OF u
bul-calt of this breed being bought ior
S25 we would not be understood rs
meaning aregistered animal, but one tha,
h ,s good pedigree and comes OF good
butter stock, even though he may not Toe
registered. For all practical purposes
such an animal is just Ms good for cSIa"'
fishing a butter herd rs though no were
