The Best Cow for Small Farms

1t is not supposed that cows kept
on small farm arc placed there for
the purpose of raising calves for sale.
They are placed there for the butter
they produce. The question is often
asked, (which shall they be, blooded
or scrub stock?" The question is cas-
lily answered. Keep only such stock
as is best adapted for the purpose
Our opinion, and also that of the prin-
cipal diarymen of the country ia, that
the Jersey--commonly called Alder
ney--is, above all others, the best but
ter cow. They are easily kept. very
docile-a point not to be overlooked
and beautiful, giving milk of supe-
rior richness, from which is produced
fine-colored, solid butter, having an
equal texture and flavor. Butter
made from such milk has been known
to keep, when placed in a dry-not
cold-celIar, without the use of ice,
and when taken out was in s. hard,
firm condition, and was then sold
twelve to eighteen cents a pound
higher than the best ordinary butter.
The cost Of Jerseys is not much more
than for scrubs, and they will more
than make up the difference in price
in few months.-Lire Stock Record.

were done for the world have not been
accomplished by subscription lists, but
by men generally of small pecnniary
means. The greatest thinkers, dis
coyerers, inventors and artists have
been men of moderate wealth, many OF
them little raised above the condition

Mr.. Thurman explained the prOvis-
ions of the bill and said 1t was fair aid
Just and no one could deny tn At it was not
liberal. After providing for the sinking
fund the Union Pacific Company could
still declare q dividend OF 4! per cent and
the Union Pacific 64-l00 per cent
on the nominal value OF their stock.
Mr.. Davis, of Illinois, \ member Of the
Judiciary Committee, spoke OF the neces-
sity for making some provision for the
payment of the Indebtedness due from
these Pacific Railroads and argued that
Congress had sright 70 pass such bill
as the one proposed. He quoted from
legal authorities 10 support OF the power
of Congress TO pass the Dill.
Pending discussion the bill was laid
over, and the Senste, on motion tf Mr..
Window, took up the West Point ap-
propristion bill, but before proceeding
with its consideration, the motion OF Mr..
