Though the Hereford breed of cattle
has not as yet been extensively intro
duced into this section of the country.
its excellencies are commanding the
situation at many other points. notably
in England, Australia, South America
and in our own western country. IT is
matter of record that not only in the
London market have they been quoted
from one TO two cents a pound above
the Short-horns, but the records of the
Smithfield show will witness that the
Hereford steer has record over the
Short-horn. and the same record shows
that the Hereford steer has made as
good weights as the Short horns, at
any given age. And now the Bath and
West of England Society has awarded
the two champion. for best male and
female in the show, 10 the Herefords.
Coupling this with the fact that during
the same record he has always brought
the better price, and another estab-
lished fact that he has always been a
more economical feeder and grazcr, is
it not strange that the press and agri-
cultural societies have not been more
ready 10 encourage them:

breed of cattle in America in The same

there are several herds CT from 20 900 to

Hereford bulls they can get; and al

How TO HAVE THEM BLOOMING IN

The ever-blooming roses are best for
house culture in po's-becanse they
bloom quicker aud more continuously
than any of the others. aud hesiGe this.
their style and habit OF growth is more
busy and better adapted to the purpose.
They can be kept nicely wi h Other
growing plants. and with proper atteH-
ton to their requirements will bloom
freely. () Do not use too large po's-if
possible, not more than three ar iour
inches. The rule is. one size larger
than the plants have been grown in.
The smaller the pot-provided. of

Beautiful tints in the skies are dawning,

But pleasure. she says. must wait for duty.
Neglected work is committed sin.

Oh. for an hour to cool her head.
Out with the birds in the winds so CHEEKY
But she must get dinner and bake the bread

If they saw her sitting with idle hand.
Would think her lazy and call il STRIKING.

For the world is quick to ceusure mothers
For the least neglect OF children's clothes
