Reform. Again.

Mir. Editor II see that voice from El- bridge. tMr. Volney) says, People about here are getting so independents. They vii! have their say about politics." That Is right good that is encouraglng; that is reform. Political parties should not run men, but men should run political parties, amswerable only to the constitution Of the United States. and to ihe laws of God.

Value Of Jerseys

"a public sale Of imported Jersey
COWS in the city of New York, at an
average of over $500 each, shows chat
this class ofstock Is not deteriorailng in
value. An examination of the cows
sold satisfies us that lot OF equal quality
could be picked up in most any county
where there is a fair sprinklng OF
Jerseys at less price than 500 each.
These, however, were imported, and 1t
seems to be true as ever that prophet
is not without honor save in his own
country etc. There are Jerseys now
IN America, scores if not. hundreds OF
them, that are better than we see im-
ported, and no other milking stock is
so rapidly taking hold Of the farmers
fancy as grade Jerseys, especially Tor
butter dairies. The greatest value Of a
pure breed is in its use for crossing. and
the American farmers are fast finding
out that the grad es Jersey, (or Alder
ney. as it is often wrongly called is a
very valuable COW.
The jerseys milk has the largest-glo'
bules. it will consequently make frmer
butter, winter and summer, the cream
will rise quicker, hence 1t will retain
more of its fine flavor and be less expos
ed to taints. But then Jersey butter
is yellowish, and the reason Is, accord
inc 20 d.. Sturtevant, that the fats Of
the Jerseys, as a race, are colored with
an orange pigment which remains in the
butter"
The above from Coleman's World re-
minds us of the rapid strides which the
Jersey COW is making ia the State OF
Michigan. Perhaps in no other State
in the West is the Jersey dong so well.
The richness the butter IS captivating
to consumers, and that makes it bring a
good price, and if there IS nothing for
beef, he jersey men think they have a
nice thing.-Mehigan paper.

SANDt Sfh1NG, MONTGOMERY co. MD.
Some nine or ten years since, deter
mined TO reclaim an adjoining field. at
whatever cost. l was told long pre-
Vlous by one of my neighbors who sold
his farm, and removed to the west, in
erder to settle on better land, that the
attempt would be futile; or, fit ever
was made productive. it would cost a
great deal more than the land was
worth. The prospect pas forbidding;
Tor the larger portion was as much re
duced as could be, by shallow tillaee.
no manure, no grass seed sown, and
constant washing, even to gulles, aud
producing little else than running briars.
1t was broken up in the fall and winter
to much greater depth than it was
ever plowed before sixty bushels of
Quick-lime to the acre were applied in
the spring, the ground well narrowed
and planted in corn such portions as
requiredit having been well under
drained-sOme to 3 acres-and which
were about the amount that produced
anything of a crop, or that more than
paid the expense of blowing. A crop
of oats and grass seed followed, as 1t
was not considered worth the trouble
and expense to put in a crop Of wheat
on ! of the field. After 6 orr years,
the same field again coming in course,
exactly the same plan was pursued, as
to blowing and lime; but rather in-
creasing the depth than otherwise.
The crop Of corn, though injured by
the bud worm, was goOd-enabling me
to do, what had rarely or never done
before, sell from to of the CROP
Oats followed, on about Z of the field,
with some or bushels of bones TO the
acre, and wheat on the balance, with
guano: both heavy crops, and lodging
over the greater part of the field. Then
followed wheat crop on the whole,
manured as much as possible from the
barn yard; and on the balance, light
dressing of guano of some so to 100
pounds 10 the acre.
The average yield was over thirty
three bushels to the acre.
The results are attained with GER
tainty; for every field and lot are ac-
curately surveyed, and the contents
noted on the plat ofthe farm; and the
product Of this field was kept separate,
threshed, and measured by ITSELF The
greater portion suffered from the drought
early last year and the harvesting was
badly done, owing to the fallen and
tangled state of the grain from storm,
about the time Of ripeuing; but l have
no doubt several contiguous acres
might haye been selected on the lowest
ground (the portion under-draned) on
which the yield was over 40 bushels to
to the acre. This season, the same
field yielded the heaviest crop of grass
ever harveste ]; aud even on what was
originally the poorest part, there is now
aluxuriant crop of second-growth clover
and intended for seed, that is lodging
over the whole extent. We will esti-
mate the profit and loss by figures:

estimate a forced one. The actual In.
