| POINTS OF DAIRY COW.-Mr. Bald
win, Of Ohio, at the late meeting of the
American Dairymen's Association gave
his views on the dairy cow as follows:
1t is useless to talk about best breeds
tor dairy uses, because no one breed is
! entirely reliable. AS far as the speak
er's observation had gone, the Ayrshire
furnished the most good ones for butter
making. There are about forty-five diff
ferent points indicative of good dairy
COWS. Some Of these points were
named. A "dishing" face is one mark
of superiority; also the milk vein. A
thoroughbred that will certainly repro
duce her own qualities must carry these
points, which are more often hidden in
the male than female. The speaker
exhibited cuts showing good points in
various breeds Of COWS. Good dairy
COWS should have thick, strong lips,
and the eyes should be large. showing
much white; good mixers are also
spirited. The horns should have an
upward and forward direction. and the
annual rings rather indistinct: the
horns should also have a waxy appear
ance, rather than dry. Good COWS
should have short bodies, heads, necks.
and legs; the neck should be neat, and
the shoulders light and neatly formed,
and lower than the hips. There are all
through the country common COWS,
which have many good qualities for
mixers, which farmers might easily
improve. Low sides are marks of good
mixers. In short, the COW should be
neat and perfectly shaped, and rather
wedge-shaped, being broader in the
rear, with light TANKS. Jerseys and
Ayrshires that are good mixers are
notable in these respects. In short
legged COWS the udder should hang low,
nearly to the ground: tail long and
tapering. Many of these points are
often not noticeable, but the dishing
face is one to which there should be no
exception.

Highland Revenge.

On the shores of Null. one of the
western islands ofScotland, a crag, over
hanging the sea is pointed out as the
scene Of tradition which would form
an excellent subject for either picture
or poem. Some centuries ago, the
chief of the district, Maclean of Lochbuy,
had a great hunting excursion. To
grace the festivity his lady attended,
with her only child, an infant then in
the nurses arms. The deer driven by
the hounds and hemmed in by surround
ing rocks, fled to a narrow pass, the
only outlet they could find. Here the
chief had placed one his men to guard
the deer from passing, but the animals
rushed with such impetrsity that the
poor forester could not withstand them
In the rage of the moment Maclean
threatened the man with instant death,
but this punishment was committed to
a hogging in the face of his clan, which
degrading punishment, fit only for the
lowest Of menials and the worst of
crimes. The clansman burned with
anger and fierce desire for revenge
He rushed forward, plucked the tender
infant, the heir Of Lockbuy, from the
hands Of the nurse, and, bounding to
rocks in a moment stood on an almost
inaccessible cliff projecting over the
water. The cries Of the agonizing
mother and the chief at the awful ijeo-
pardy in which their only child was
placed may be easily conceived. Mac
lean implored the man to give him
back his son, and expressed his deep
contrition for the degradation he had,
in a moment, of excitement: inflicted
on his clansman. The other replied that
the only condition on which he would
consent to the restitution was that Mac
lean himself should bare his back and
consent to be fogged as he had been.
In despair the chef consented, saying
that he would consent to anything if
his child was restored. To the grief
and astonishment Of the clan, Maclean
bore this insult, and when it was COM
pleted. begged that the clansman might
return from his perilous position with
the young chief. The man regarded
him with a smile of demonaic revenge,
and, lifting the child above his head,
plunged with him into the waters below.
The sea closed over them, and neither,
it is said, ever emerged from the tenn
pestons whirlpools and basaltic caverns
that yawned around them, and which
still threaten the inexperienced naviga-
tor on the shores Of Null.

Old Maids.

When a lady reaches 80 years. and
remains unmarried, she begins to be
spoken of IA an old maid in such a
manner and tone as to indicate some
thing of contempt, carrying with it an
idea that if she had been of any ac-
count she would not have remained
single. All of us can look back with
very kindly memories of those who
were old maids when we were in our
teens; of their obliging disposition;
their hardness in sickness, how indis-

British Generals.

A London paper Of Feb. 18th says
Club gossip is busy, Of course, with
the names Of the generals who may be
expected to come to the front if we are
drawn into war. For a long time Lord
Napier of Magdala stood high in the
betting; but a stronger favorite now for
the chief command is Sir Linton Sim
MONS Sir Charles Ellice under him
might get All army corps, SO might Sir
John Garvoch, but he is unfortunately
senior to Simmons, and his chances are
thus reduced to minimum, even if he
waived his rank. Another probable
corps commander is Sir Thomas Steele.
Sir Garnet Wolseley can hardly expect
more than division; he is still only a
major-general, although high up the
list. Perhaps he would prefer the on
erous and deeply important role of
chief of the staff. Other probable di-
vision generals are Sir Daniel Lysons,
Gems. Somerset, Stephensons, and Ship
ley; Gems. Cakes or Drysdale to COM
mand the cavalry; Collingwood, Dick
son, D'Aguilar, and Adye the artillery;
Col. Gateway, Sir John Stokes, Lennox,
and Home filling the most prominent
posts with the engineers. There would
be great rush for brigades. Among
the generals are Anderson, Leicester,
Smythe, Peyton, Pakenham, who would
probably go bodily with the brigades
they actually command. Other briga-
diers might be Lord Alexander Russell,
Percy Fielding, Hamley (the military
writer), Hawley, and Sir John M'Leod.
There is very little d )ubt to whom some
at the least Of the principal staff APP
pointments would be given. Coils.
Greaves, M'Neil, and L. d. Baker would
go as a matter of course, and with them
many of the juniors from the horse
guards. OF the rest of the staff it may
be fairly assumed generally that the
best men would be selected, and the
choice just now is fortunately unusual

SOMEBODY'S MOTHER.

The woman was old and ragged and gray,
And bent with the chill of the winters day;
The street was wet with recent snow,
And the woman'S feet were aged and slow;
Sac stood at the crossing and waited long,
Alone, uncared for, nm d he throng
OF human beings who passed her by,
Nor needed the glance OF her anxious eye.
Down the street, with laughter and shout,
Glad in the freedom OF school let out,
Came the boys like a flock of sheep,
Haiing the snow piled white and deep.
Past the woman so old and gray
fastened the children on their way.
Nor offered helping hand to her,
SO meek, 80 timid, afraid tC stir
Lest the carriage wheels or the horses feet
Should crowd her down in the slippery street
At last came one of the merry troop
The gayest laddie of all the groupe;
He paused beside her, and whispered low:
IN help you across if you wish to GO
Her aged hand on his strong young arm
She placed, and so without hurt or harm,
He guided her trembling feet along,
Proud that his own were firm and strong.
Then back again to his friends he went.
His young heart happy and we'll content.
"She's somebody's mother, boys, you know
For all she's aged and poor and slow;
And hope some fellow will lend hand
To help my mother, you understand,
If ever she's poor and old and gray,
When her own dear boy il far away.
And somebody's mother " bowed low bel
head,
In her home that night, and the prayer she
Was, God, be kind to the noble boy
Who is somebody's son and pride and joy!''

What Shall Take its Place.

The very low price of cotton this tall
has almost discouraged our farmers, and
they are puzzling their brains to know
what other crop to plant that will pay
them better. They say they cannot
raise cotton at 8 cents and live at the
present cost of labor. It now costs on
an average, after the cotton is made in
the field, $1,000 to gather, gin and pack
500 weight bale; and the best Of it
only brings $4,000 per bale, leaving
s2s.OO to pay laborers for cultiVatiDg
it, feeding mules and hands, paying for
the wear aud tear of farming imple-
ments and harness, ETC., (some of the
planters having to pay land rent, too)
thus leaving the planter in debt rather
than giving him profit for his la
Dor.
Some intend to plant largely of small
grain; while others are contemplating
stock-raising. There are large tracts of
land on our river where cattle, sheep,
mules and hogs can find good pasturage
the whole year round and need no other
feeding-kecping fat OF the young canes
and grasses that grow in the swamps.
Those who arc not fortunate enough
to have pasture lands, can turn their at

grow we'll on our uplands, and good

also the upland rice that almost equals
in productiyeness the rice on the low
