Agricultural Notes.

Orange County N. " butter is the
most famous in the New York mark
ct. 1t always sells above the usual
market rates. Vast quantities of but
ter are weekly shipped to Orange Co.
repacked, branded as Orange County
butter, and sold as sueh.
There are $500, 900. 900 invested in
COWS in the United States. The esti-
mated value of butter that can be pro-
ducef from a first-class COW is S94
while a common COW will produce $50
TO $40 worth.
The Ben Davis apple exhibited at
the Centennial gets a good many IA

1858, at Earle Ducie's sale, in Eng
land. TO Col. Morris of Fordbam, for
700 guineas, or S3,675, is remarkable
as showing the actual value of one
good breeding animal. From this
COW, which was calved in November,
1850, there may be traced in direct de-
scent. a number of animals which
have sold for about $500,000.
The average period of CESSATION in
COWS is 2S3 days, but they have been
known to calve in 900 days, though
any time under 26O days must be re-
garded as premature. They have
been known to run the allotted time
and up to 3l3 days. Over 300 days II
considered irregular. Some cows
"spring bag" several days before they
calve. and at times it becomes neces
sary to milk them before they "comt
