Prime Jerseys.

We mentioned some time ago the splen
did bull "Litchfeld," and the cows "Fil.
bert" and Locust" on exhibition at the
Centennial stock grounds in Philadelphia
They were from the Echo farm of Mr.. F
X. Starr in Litchfield, Conn. We are
now able to add that ''Litchfeld" and "Fil
bert have obtained Centennial awards
The former has also won the first prize Of
$3.50 offered by the American jersey
Cattle club for the best Jersey bull at the
Centennial exhibit, aud awarded by the
Centennial Judges He has been exhibit
ted number of times in past years, and
three times this year, and in every instance
has carried off the first prize.
Seven prizes were taken by Mr. Starr
Centennial herd when exhibited at Hart
ford, Sept. ~, en- route for Philadelphia
and within few days after their return
from there, on October IL, sixteen prizes
were won by the thirty-four Of his herd
exhibited at WATERFOWL, Conn, where
there was an excellent display of stock
Gilbert, not content with her success
at Hartford and Philadelphia, secured at
Watertown the first prize as the best COW
of her age also the special prize as "the
best COW for milk" This is the more re-
markable because the latter prize was open
to cows Of all breeds.
Many papers, in different parts Of the
country, refer to her extraordinary yield
in one month, Of 949l pounds of milk,
while she weighed but 700 pounds BY
Fairbanks scales. "Locust" also gave, in
one month, more than her own weight il
milk.

clover hay at so cents per cwt, our ques-
tioa is very readily solved. All the clover
hay the cows viii eat without wasting,
with little corn fodder, and wheat straw
to amuse themselves with between meals,
and to give them an appetite for something
better, makes the perfection Of long feed
for winter. A mixture Of one-third corn
meal and two-thirds wheat bran, eight
quarts at feed, twice daily, will give,
believe, about the best results of anything
now in our market.
There is no perfect substitute, however,
for the luxurientmixed grasses of summer,
and there is no COW so good in winter,
with the best treatment, that win not be
a quarter better oa June pasture.
l append p few conclusions, as copied
BY the Sept. No. Of the American Farmer
DR. II. L. Sturteyant
|. That the production of butter is
largely dependent on breed
2. That there is structural limit to
the production of butter to each COW.
3. That when the COW is fed to this
/ hhte, iuOAOdSSU thS plOuuNt-
4, That the superior COW has this struc-
tural limit at greater distance from or
binary feed, aud more ready to respond to
stimula, than the inferior COW.
3. That consequently the superior COW
is seldom fed to her limit, while the infe-
rior COW may be easily fed beyond her
limit, and as a practical conclusion, in
creased feed with a superior lot of cows
viii increase the butter product, but il
fed to an inferior lot of cows, waste can
only be the result.
6. That the character of the food has
some influence on the character of butter
even here, breed influences more than
feed.
Z. That she best practice of feeding il
to regulate the character of the food BY
the character of the animals fed feeding
superior COWS nearer to the limit of pro
duction than inferior cows, feeding, if fol
butter, more concentrated and nutrieiou.
foods than for cheese.

A SONG OF THE COUNTRY.

Away from the ROAR and tho rattle,
The dust and the din Of the town.
Where 10 live Is TO brawl and 10 battle,
TIL the strong treads the weak man down.
Away to the bonnie green hills
whers the sunshine sleeps on the brao,
Aud the heart of the greenwood thrills
To the hymn ofthe bind on the spray
Away nom the smoke and smother,
Tho veil OF the dun and the brown,
The push and the plash and the pother,
Tho wear and the waste q the town
Away where the sky shines clear,
And the light breeze wanden al VIII,
And the dark pinewood mods near
To the light pluned birch on the hill.
Away from the whirling and wheeling,
And steaming above and below,
where the heart has no leisure for feeling
And tho thought has no quiet 10 grow.
Away where the clear brook purls.
And the hyaclnih DROPS in the shade,
And the plume Of the fern uncurls
Its grace In the depth Of the glade.
Away to the cottage 50 sweetly
Emhowered meath the fringe Of the wood,
Where the wife my bosom shall meet me
With thoughts ever kindly and good
More dear than the wealth Of the world,
Fond mother with bairnies three.
And the plump armed baby that has cuEled
lbs lips sweetly pouting for me-
Then away from the roar and the rattle,
The dust and the din Of the town,
Where to live Is TO brawl and to battle
TIL tho strong truads the weak man down
Away where the green twigs nod
In the fragrant breath Of the May,
And the sweet growth spreads ON the sod,
And the blithe birds sing on the spray,

Keeping Potatoes.

NJ. Carriere, French writer, publishes
some interesting particulars regarding the
preservation of potatoes during the winter
and spring. Themethods usually employ
ed he characterizes as both good and bad;
good, because the atmosphere of cellars or
pits is usually damp enough to prevent the
too-speedy evaporation of water from the
tubers, and bad, because the cellars are
almost invariably kept closed, SO that oc-
casionally the temperature rises eonsidera-
bly, and induces the very evil most to be
avoided, namely, the sprOuting out of
buds. In storing potatoes for seed or
culinary purposes, the main object in view
is to prevent their termination, so that it
may not be necessary to pick out the bud
ding eyes, a process which invariably in
duces a rapid deterioration in quality and
strength To prevent this, the store-pla-
ces should be wholesome, dry, and freely
ventilated, In extremely cold weather the
temperature must be raised by artificial
means, but an excess of warmth is to be
carefully guarded against; it is sufficient
to keep the temperature just above freez-
ing point, the arrival Of which may be
proved, in the absence of thermometer,
by the appearance of ice on a shallow pau
of water purposely kept in the store-place
These measures suffice in the case of pota-
toes intended for planting out, bat where
they are required for domestic consump-
ton the further preeaution must be taken
of shielding them from the action of light.
If this be not done, the tubers are apt to
turn green, change which is nothing to
their detriment for seeding purposes, but
which is attended by chemical alterations
that give them bitter taste, and quite
spoils them for domestic use. By atten-
ton to these points, NJ. Carriere has sue
ceeded in keeping old potatoes in good
palatable condition up to the middle of
June, or sometimes, as in the present year,
to the middle Of July, by which date the
new potatoes are no longer scarce, dear,
and tasteful, as is the case at the time the
old stock usually goes out.

Perhaps our agricultural friends may
be interested in knowing that the year
1876 marks the one hundredth anniversa-
ry of the introduction of the Hessian fly
into America, also that like the stamp act,
the Declaration of Independence and
other events Of that time, was brought
about by King George III. In the sum
mer Of 1776, large number of Hcssians
for the reinforcement of the army in
America, were shipped from their country
in slave ships, and large quantity Of
straw was placed in the holds for the ac.
commodation Of the soldiers. On their
arrival here the straw was unloaded, and
with it the Hhssian fly, which has caused
such grief to multitudes Of farmers ever
since The Hossians, being plainly visi-
Bile, were easily conquered and annihilated,
but their insidious companions were not
SO easily got at, but have lived through
yicissitndes Of an hundred years, and are
as bold and valiant to-day as when the
country was yet an infant in swaddling
clothes.

Frequent cultivation aud stirring Of the
soil in dry weather, presenting thus more
points of attraction to the atmosphere and
heavier deposits Of dew, is the best remedy
for the effects Of drought, while deep pillow
