The party, and not cause any bitterness among
its leaders. They declared their inability to

Henry Bessomer, the English inventor, has
taken out 100 PATENTS almost as many as Ed

individuals are now and again very remark
able. Lima, an English Jersey COW, yielded
from 1876, N and 10 an annual average of
1852 pounds, probably much more than

other words, she gave in thirty-six months an
average of more than her own weight in
milk per month.
