England and America only few go to
other countries. The population is esti-
mated at 10000 about half live in st.
Heliers 80 that, in addition to all other
live stock, the island has one COW on each
two acres. In England, this extent OF clear
land is held to be necessary for cows sup
port. Seeing the number of buildings, of
roads, of hedgegrows on the island, the acre
age actually employed therein must be con-
siderably under two acres for every single
head No animal in its yield of milk and
butter can compare, for its size, with the
Jersey cows; and the increase OF the breed
Of late years in this country, and the extra
ordinary number exhibited at the Kilburn
Show, have been the surprise Of many a
farmer. For years this has been the
parsons cow 1t may not bear comparison
with the Shorthorn its angular appearance
may call forth derision still the neglect of
the dairy properties in onr indigenous
breeds may have had some influence in
spreading the Jersey. The high price OF
good butter and difficulty of obtaining
pure rich milk have led to many Jersey
COW being kept in the neghborhood of large
cities. Her gentleness, her small stature,
her quietness, her adaptability to any cir
cumstances, as well as her really large pro-
duce when generously fed, all combine to
make her most valuable assistant. The
taste for country life and for occupying a
bit of land is inherent in most Englishmen
and with that comes the love of animals.
AS wealth and population increase, large
estates around cities are yearly broken up
for villas, with few acres OF grass and gar
den. There the Jersey finds a home, and
makes bountiful return for the food sup
piled her. There she already flourishes
and in time she will doubtless creep intt
small farms for her great dairy profit anc
her capability of being kept and fed in q
confined space are great recommendation
to the small dairy farmer. The steady in
crease of the American beef supply is likel,
to have an important influence on our large
breeds; but fresh milk from the days Of
Abraham downwards, has ever been maui
first and natural food, and this needs to b
produced at home. Treated generously anc
kindly, kept warm and healthy, the Jerse.
COW will supply us with natures riches
food and exert a kindly influence on ou
multiplying thousands"

bone black, after being used to refine sugar,
is sold cheaply for fertilizing purposes, but
the phosphate it contains is 80 enveloped by
the carbon (coaD produced by charring the
animal matter that it must be dissolved by
the use of sulphuric acid (or by fermenta-

before it is of much use to crops. The
Charleston phosphate rock, finely ground, Is
worth nearly as much as the coarsely pow
dered bone ash made as above; but If bone
ash is ground as fine as the Charleston rock,
it is worth nearly twice as much, we believe.
Some millers will grind it after it is coarsely
powdered, but most of them object on ac-

that are apt to be mixed with it, When
carefully handled, so as to exclude these,
the bone does not injure the stones much,
If any more, than grain. If all the bones OF
a neighborhood were carefully burnt and
carried to mill most any miller would find
it to pay to have run Of stones especially
for that work. These points ought all to be
studied carefully. Our readers will be, no
doubt, thankful, as we are, to Mr.. Ward,

Tribute to Religion.

Some thirty years ago young man from
southern Pennsylvania was on his way to
college, and entering the stage-coach, he
found as passengers several men whose loose
talk was chiefly in ridicule of religion and
the Bible. He himself was not Christian,
but was of Christian family, and he rev.
erenced his father and mother and their
faithful piety, which he felt were both the
strength and beauty of his early home.
Panied and provoked by the blasphemes of
his fellow-travelers, he was silent till he
could bear it no longer, and then he contra
dicted their statements and denied and OPP
posed their assertions. Amused at his un-
expected boldness, and thinking to make
short work of the youth, they became more
reckless and impudent than before. He was
not then the keen and practiced debater he
afterwards became, but by the Christian
teaching of his home and church he had
been we'll informed, and with his spirit
reused aud speaking on the side of truth, he
gave them blow for blow and facts for argu-
ments, till soon they were slenced and gave
up the discussion. AT the end of the stage.
route they all entered the steamboat which
was in waiting, and had not been long on
board when one who had been foremost il
opposing and ridiculing religion came tc
the young man and asked, " Have you a
stateroom ?" 81 have" "Will you let me
share it with you 2" "Why /" because
have large amount of money with me, and
| am afraid to sleep with any one do not
know lest | should be murdered for my
money. If you will let me have one of the
two berths | shall esteem it great favor.
His request was granted. But what a COM
