WHERE JERSEY COWS COME FROM.

Jersey Island, the place from which we obtain
the favorite Jersey cow, is a small spot of land.
Ifsquared, it is six and three-quarter miles each
way. Yet this little island has population of
100000 human beings, and has over 10000 cattle,
and has had that number for the last twenty
years, for the census of 1861 gives 12,037. And
yet they export on an average annually 1900
head Roughly speaking, on this island they
manage to support one head of kline to every acre
while in England there is only one head to every
ten acres; therefore, in proportion to its size,
Jersey exports as many cattle every year as Eng
land contains. If England were to export cattle
at the same rate, her whole stock would be swept
away in a single year. A good Jersey will yield
half her own weight in butter in year-she
rarely exceeds 500 pounds, and her average
weight at home is about 700 pounds What lit
tie spot of earth can make better showing?

THINGS TO MAKE NOTE OF,

CURRANT SWEET LOAF.-Nix two heaping
teaspoonfuls of cream of tarter with one pound
of flour; then rub into it four ounces of butter
as for pastry; add eight ounces of currants, six
ounces of sugar, and one pint of milk, in which
one heaping teaspoonful of carbonate OF soda
has been dissolved; add little salt spice to taste
and bake. The addition Of two beaten eggs and
four ounces of citron makes rich loaf.
JOHNNY CAKE.-Three cupfuls of sour milk,
two eggs, beaten light, halfcupful Of melted but
ter a tablespoonful of sugar, one teaspoonful Of
salt mix all together, with sufficient corn meal
to make thin batter. Bake on a griddle.

THE OLD CHOIR.
BY J. +. SWEET.

Twas a glorious thing, in those good old days,
AS far back a memory goes,
When all who would sing the Omniscient's praise
Could do 80 whenever they chose;
And each Sunday morning, at toll of the bell
In the gallery, spacious and long,
The opening hymn, with its solemn swell
Was sung by the musical throng:
And the chorister's face
Wore marvellous grace,
As he measured the time of the song
Twas quaint little church in our village town
And it stood on the principal street,
With the door from the walk only two steps down.
Wide open the whole world to greet:
And in through that door, every Sunday there passed
More singers than those who were not;
And they filled up the gallery, silent and fast
Until vacancy dwndled to jot:
And then what song
Sang that musical throng
When the nod from their leader they got
No organ Ger pealed forth its harmony grand
On the ears of the worshipers then,
But the strains that arose at the leaders command
Will never be equalled again,
Till the spirit that long ago fled at the tread
OF the customs and whims of the day
SHALL rise up again from the realms of the dead,
And the days which have vanished away
And the good times return,
When no jealousies burn,
Nor selhshness stands in the way.
The little old church has been painted anew,
And the gallery all torn down;
And each of the old choir sits in a pew,
While the notes of an organ drown
The elegant strains OF paid quartette,
Who howl with might and main
Through the maze of piece only lately set,
With solo and trio strain
That some musical quack,
By the dint of his knack,
Has dragged from his suffering brain.
The good old choir, with its social heart,
Is as dead and dumb stone,
And the friendly ties all broken apart,
And the spirit of love is gone;
And dscord and tumult among them reign,
And jealousys fame burns high,
And the song of true worship will never again
From thence float up to the sky;
For the soul is fed,
And the music is Dead
And the fountain of praise is dry.

growing in the Northern and Western States. 1t
produces small clusters of reddish berries, which
are pleasant, although rather insipid in flavor
Improved varieties, having larger and better
favored fruits, are in cultivation; these are the
berries which we commonly find in our markets.
Being natives, they are consequently fitted to
flourish in our climates, and the plants are not
attacked by the calamities which destroy the
foreign kinds But their fruit is very inferior to
that of the foreign varieties and their improve
ment offers prolific field for the hybridist and
experimenter, and doubtless, in time, larger and
better than any which now exists will be pro-
duced in the varieties of Our native species.
VOLATILE AND FIXED OILs.-The difference
between volatile and fixed oils is, that the latter
do not evaporate as may be shown by dropping
them on paper The fixed oil will leave per-
manent stain; the volatile oil will also make a
stain, which soon evaporates and disappears.
AMERICAN RAISINs.-The statement is made
that the idea that American grapes are insult
able for the manufacture of ralslns must be con-
siderably staggered by the announcement that the
raisin crop of California this year will aggregate
more than 10000 boxes" That these raisins
are made from grapes grown in America is per-
fectly correct, and they have been so made to
some extent for the past twenty years; but that
these raisins have been made from American
grapes, botanically speaking, is perfectly errone
Gus. California raisins land they are not ex-
celled by the same product of any country in the
world are produced from varieties of the Euro
pean or Asiatic grape, Vitis cinfera. None of the
varieties of this species have succeeded well east
of the Rocky Mountains, although there seems to
be some prospect of extending their culture fav-
orably in some parts Of Texas. The eastern sec
ton of the United States is dependent upon
grapes of American origin for its grape crop.
These varieties of native species of the genus
Vitis, and are descendants of our fox grapes
chicken grapes and frost grapes of the woods
none Of which have yet been used, nor indeed are
they well fitted, for the purpose of making COM
mercial raisirs

FLOWERS FOR CEMETERIEs.-There is no class
Of plants better fitted for cemetery adornment
than the hardy spring Towering bulbs, and it
seems strange oversight that they are not found
in the greatest profusion in position where they
so appropriate and so well fitted to adorn.
The hyacinth, tulip, the crocus, and the snow
drop are among the earliest of spring flowers;
they are the prelude to the floral beauties of the
year; they are peculiarly emblematic of the fact
that there is an appointed season for the birth
and death and regeneration of all that lives and
suggestive of human destiny. As soon as the
balmy breezes refresh the earth, and scarcely be-
fore the SHOWS of winter have disappeared, the
redolent vitality Of the soil bursts FORTH and
Each flower and herb earth's dark breast
Awakes from the dream of its wintry rest
1t would be well for those who have the man
agement of the many beautiful cemeteries
throughout the country tC sec that bountiful
supply of early Towering bulbs are planted; this
may be done for small outlay, and it is to be
hoped that the National cemeteries under Gov
eminent control will also include this as a spec
ial feature in their management.

CARE OF COWs.-A writer comments as fol-
lows on this subject: Dairy COWS should receive
their food at regular intervals; they should be
MIXED at stated hours and they should be treat
ed at all times with the greatest kindness Ev-
cry means should be used to insure their tran
guilty. Harsh treatment, while it is altogether
unnecessary also exerts very injurious action
on the milk, rendering it less buttery and more
liable to acidity. Respiration is species of COM
bustion. AT every breath we inhale oxygen of
the atmosphere which unites with and consumes
the fatty matter of the food. When COWS are
worried or driven too rapidly, they breathe more
frequently, inhale more oxygen, and more of the
buttery portion of their food is consumed leav-
ing less to be converted into milk. 1t is well
known to all experienced dairymen, that their
COWS yield more on pleasant days, or when they
have access to warm, well sheltered pastures,
than on cold, rainy days, or when they run in
cold, bleak pasture fields.
APPLES FOR PROFIT.-The most profitable an
pies in northern Illinois for market are we are
confident, Willow Twig and Ben Davis The
Willow Twig is considerably the better apple
every way of the two. But not being so hand
some, especially rich Soils as the Ben Davis it
does not sell so readily in open market. But this

in a former number the mistake was made in
limiting its climatic range south of latitude 3Oo
when $50 was intended. Further it may be men
toned that there appears to be a considerable de-
gree of difference in the varieties with regard to
hardness and it will in all probability be found
that some of the varieties will withstand greater
degree of cold than is now supposed.
Some of the hardest kinds have stood a zero
cold without any apparent injury. The size and
beauty of the fruit of some Of the varieties are
such as to render the plants strikingly orna-
mental, to say nothing about the value of the
fruit.
PLANT-FOoD FROM THE ARA quantity of
ammonia and nitric acid, equal perhaps on an
acre to one hundred pounds of guano is annually
brought down to the soil by the rain for the ben

deceive himself, and imagine that he may in
dulge in idle repose while nature is thus keeping
up the fertility of his lands. But he NAV profit
by this bounty of nature if he will take full adj
vantage of the atmospheric manure by means of
drainage, which promotes the equal flow of water
