A GREAT EXHIBITION IN 1870

England has decided to have a great
show next year. 1t will be an agri-
cultural exhibition. The expense is
estimated at e15O,O0O. The lord mayor
of London has appealed to the British
public for the support of the projected
enterprise. It is to be under the au-
spices of the Royal Agricultural So
ciety. Agriculture is declining in
Great Britain, and there is some hope
that the exhibition may arrest its
downward course. The number of
cattle, and the acreage of wheat and
other crops, are. decreasing, and very
nearly one-half the United Kingdom
is now dependent for sustenance upon
imported food.

THE SUMMER
BY REV. W. w. JOHNSON

BY REV. w. w. JOHNSON.
I love on Nature s varied scene,
To muse and mediate;
And. as the seasons intervene,
observe their changing state.
The summer comes with perfumed breath
To sweeten every breeze; D
And brings us more of life than death,
In Natures argosies.
The verdant meadows pleasant sight.
In beauty lie unknown
While Phebus, i'll his chariot bright,
Rides Ger the northern 4 zone
And from his elevatedse
Sends down his burning rays
And fills this lower world with heat,
In summers longest days;
And brings ont of the fertile earth,
It's products, rich andraFe,
And, in a thousand forms, gives birth
To beauties bright and fair.
The peonies and roses new,
With petals white and red,
Profusely DER the morning dew,
Their grateful fragrance shed.
And when the suns departing light,
Fades slowly in the west,
How gently nature doth invite,
The wearied ones to rest.
The seasons quickly pass away,
Earth's choicest flowers will fade;
Man is the creature of day,
Yet wonderfully made.
And, though his mortal body die,
His nobler part shall live;
God. to the wise and good on high,
A heavenly home will give.
And may my portion ever be-
My pleasure-my desire
The Great Creators work to see,
To love, enjoy, admire.

AN IMPRISONED OWL.

The Lancaster, (Pa.) Examiner says
"The owner of a large farm, not far
from Lancaster, had an opportunity a
few days ago Of witnessing how an in
terloper is punished by the mar
tin species Of birds. A pair of
martins had taken possession Of a small
box, and We're building their nest. One
day, while they were absent, a screech-
owl took possession of their box, and
when the martins came home at night
would not allow them to enter. The
smaller birds were nonplussed for a
while, and in short time flew away,
seemingly giving up the fight. But if
the owl was of this opinion he was
sadly mistaken, for in short time the
little ones returned, bringing with them
a whole army of their companions. who
Immediately set to work, and, procur-
ing mud, plastered the entrance to the
box shut. They then all flew away.
In q few days the box was examined
and the owl was found dead

THE JERSEY AND THE COMMON
COW.

Much has been said in regard to the
Jersey COW, as being too small for beef
after becoming too old for milk. Now
let us look at the figures in that matter
and see what the real facts are in this
case. The majority of farmers, in look
ing at a Jersey cow, will say-too
small for all purposes for us farmers ]:
we want something tha5 will make OK
en-, and beef, and when COW is too
old to milk, we want something that
will make good beef, and a lot of it; we
want none of your "deer" meat. |
think this is u mistaken idea that far
mers have fallen into, without looking
into the question at all. Now for the
figures. An average Jersey cow will,
in one year, make $50 pounds of nice
yellow butter, worth now in the mar
ket twenty-five cents a pound, amount
ing In one year to $62.50, and raise a
calf on the skim milk, worth, with us.
$s15, making the sum Of $77.50, without
making any charge for the skim milk,
after the calf is weaned. Now let us
take the average native or common
cow and see what she will do. From
the best authority can find, together
with my own experience, she will, in
one year, make $50 pounds of butter,
worth now in our market twenty-five
cents pound, amounting to the sum
Of 1913, and calf fed on skim milk,
worth IS, making in all $3S. Now,
take 1888 from $s77.50, the amount of
the product of the Jersey, and you have
$44.50 in favor of the little Jersey cow.
Now multiply $44.50 by ten, the num-
Der of years we usually milk a cow be-
fore turning her into beef, and you
have the nice little sum Of $445 in IA
vor Of the latter, when you get ready
to make beef out Of her. Now it does
not make much difference about the
price Of beef in SO small amount as
there would be between the large cow
and the small one, compared with the
large difference in the amount of but
ter, and in addition to the above, some
credit must be given to the Jersey for
a less amount of food consumed, which
is about 21z per cent. of the live weight
on the difference of the two COWS.
In looking the matter over, / cannot
but come to the conclusion that, for
dairying purposes, the Jersey cow is
the cow for the farmers. There is
great amount of labor in the manufae-
ture of butter, both indoors and out,
and a cow that will make only $50
pounds of butter year is not worth
keeping; for butter at twenty-five
cents a pound, and hay at twelve dol
lars ton will not more than pay her
keeping, so that there is a total loss of
the labor Employed. whereas, a COW
that Will make $50 pounds year will
afford a good profit over the keep of
the cow.-H. G. Abbott in ". f. Far

How the Senate VIII stand.

NNeW 1orA world washington Letter.
The composition of the senate or the
forty sixth congress can be more approxi-
mately ascertained now than that of rem
resentatives. The senate being nernet-
ualIbody, always organized and having q
quorum of duly elected senator's. 10 never
theless subjected to radical changes eyery
congress, one-third of the terms of its SEN
ators expiring with the end of each con-
gress. The states, therefore, elect for the
new session of the senate, which may be
convened on March next in executive
session BY presidential proclamation,
twenty-five senators of the new class. OF
this number seven have been already
elected, and but two of the class of 1885
reelected, Mr.. Morrill, In Vermont, and
Mr. Allison from Iowa, The states yet to
elect are Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado.
connecticut Florida, Louisiana, Missouri,
Nevada, New Hampshire, New York.
Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Wiscon-
SID. A decided majority of these will re-
turn democratic senators, Colorado and
Wisconsin alone being at all certain Of
electing republicans, and even 10 the latter
state the senator promises to be the re-
suit of coalition. The present senate
stands politically: Republicans, SO; dem
ocrats, Sc; independent, |. To secure
control of the senate; the democrats do
not require more than forty votes. AS
they will lose no state now represented bv
democrat, all the gains viii increase the
present representation. The democratic
senators already elected. therefore, in
California, Oregon and Ohio give the dem
ocrats fortytwo: The republicans concede
the election OF democratic senators in Ala
bama ID place OF Mr. Spencer, in Florida
10 ileu OF MT, ConoVer, In South Carolina
10 Mr.. PATTERSON seat, and in Arkansas
10 lieu OF Mr.. Dorsey. thus increasing the
number to forty-slx, and leaving the re-
pubhcans thirty senators. On this show
ing alone the democrats will have uaio-
rity OF sixteen, which is even larger than
might be estimated at the first glance The
democrats, however, have a reasonable
prospect OF gaining senator in Illinois.
New York, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin
possibly Nevada. But in any event,
large working majority is already assured,
with prospect of increasing it in the class
OF 1881, which embraces vacancies in CALI
tornla, Mississippi. Nevada and Wisconsin,
The republicans are making their calcula-
tons to hold on to the Offices of the senate
till December 2, 1875, when the forty -sixth
congress convenes, but this is hardly pro-
bable, as the president generally conyenes
senate IN executive session. while the
present congress may decide to provide for
a new session of both houses There are
l13 officers of the senate. for body of rs
senators, to Id for the house, which com
prlses 292 members and IL delegates
IN all This simply illustrates the extra
vagrance Of republican management. The
democrats, viii undoubtedly reduce the
senate force one-third If not one-half, and
then have quite as efficient an organize
ton.
