JERSEY CATTLE IN AMERICA,

In 1868 the American Jersey Cattle
Club was establ ished. This society has
done vigorous and successful work in
guarding the purity of the stock and ex-
tending the knowledge of the merits of
the breed. These merits were not, at
first, either widely or willingly recog-
nized +; and the Jerseys-or as they were
then and are sometimes now wrongly
called Alderneys-were seldom seen
except upon the lawns or in the stables
of men of wealth. Gradually, however,
the reports of the great annual yields of
butter made by COWS of this breed rous-
ed the interests of practical farmers, and
the growing demand for the butter of
these COWS further increased their popu-
larity; and the little COW which had
been laughed at as an expensive and
foolish luxury, became to practical
breeders of butter stock an absolute ne.
cessity. In fact the growth in numbers
and in value of this breed of cattle in
this country during the past eight OIL
ten years has no parallel in the history
of thoroughbred stock. A dozen years
ago Jersey cattle were not seen at the
shows; half a dozen years ago they
were shown, but with no expectation o
rousing much interest, much less will
the expectation of winning prizes, fo
none were offered for this despiset
breed; three years ago, at large fairs
Jerseys were not classed with or judge
according to the rules which govern
thoroughbred cattle. To-day, in nearl.
every state in the Union, the Jersey
shown outnumber any other breed o.
the grounds, and in some states the
outnumber all other breeds; it is abou
the stalls of this breed that, to-day, th
largest number of interested spectator
gather; and this breed during the pas
year has, in the average amount realize
at public auction, taken its position q
the head of all others in the Unite
States.

The following. though old, still re-
mains to be learned by many teamsters:
"The most effectual way to start a balky
horse is to divert his attention so that
he will forget that he does not wish to
draw the load. This may be done in
various ways. Give him a handful of
grass. or lump of earth or sugar, or in
fact anything but whipping which will
divert his attention so the horse will
forget his work"

The Rev. DR.. Austin Phelps, profess
sor emeritus of Sacred Rhetoric at An
dover Theological Seminary, believes that
the pulpit ought not to ignore spiritu-
alism. In an articles in The Congre-
gationahst he says: "When people find
their inherited faith in miracles and in
inspiration muddled by the modern nee
romentic marvels, it is natural, it is
reasonable that they should ask: "What
do these things mean?' And SO long
as popular science says never word,
who shall give to the people the neces-
sary satisfaction, if the pulpit does not ?
Has not this thing been let alone long
enough? Is it not time that the clergy
should have opinions about it which, as
theologians, they are willing to be re.
sponsible for, and opinions which shall
commend themselves to the good sense
and the Biblical faith of their hearers
1t can never be beneath the dignity Of
the pulpit to answer any inquiries
touching religious faith, which an hon
est and sensible people are moved t.
ask"

FLOWER GARDENS FOR
81 CHILDREN.

Children love flowers quite as much as
older people. and if they are permitted
to have small garden all their own in
which they can plant, and dig, and
weed, and hoe, and use the tiny little
instruments that are made so cheaply for
the flower garden. they will not only
take the greatest delight in its posses
sion, and in the buds and flowers. but
will also gain large amount of health
and muscular development.
Their love of the beautiful will also be
largely cultivated, and they can be
taught to give their flowers to the sick
and the poor children, and learn that to
give pleasure is the surest way of re-
ceiving it themselves.
But of all the lessons to be taught to
children by working in garden, the
most valuable is the art of observation.
So minute, so varied, and so delicate,
and yet so unerring, are the operations
of nature that, although the closest study
may fail to divulge her secrets, the re-
wards of such study are so rich and &c
surprising that they stimulate to fresh
researches.
Let the child plant morning glorie
to run over bean pole. Four o'clocks
which bloom so brightly every morning
mignonette and sweet alyssum, and for
get-me-nots to make tiny, sweet bou
quets. Then give a monthly rose-bush
a geranium, feverfew, and some VERDE
mas and pansies, and there will be a
amount of flowers which will gladde
the heart of schoolfull of children.
If the kind mother will attend to il
and have the beds laid out, and teac
her darlings how to plant the seeds an
plants she will give them an occupatio
that they will not weary of while lii
lasts.-HoroL Cabinet.

ADVANTAGES OF GRADED
ANIMALS.

A mongrel sire of any kind of stock
should never be used. If farmer is
unable to purchase thoroughbred alone,
he should get others to unite with him
and make joint purchase, dividing
purchase price and cost of keeping.
When this is done, no neighborhood
need be without a sire. The choice
should suit the wants of the community.
If cheese-making is the leading dairy
interest, then a breed of cattle should
be selected which will give the largest
yield Of milk, and the selection should
be governed by the circumstances of
feed. In most dairy districts the Ayr
shires will be found best adapted to the
purpose, on account of their small size
and their ability to take care of them
selves and to furnish the largest yield
of milk on short feed. Where pastures
are Iuxuriant and feed abundant, Hol-
stems give satisfaction. These are the
most valuable cheese-producing cattle.
We know of crosses of Ayrshires upon
natives which have demonstrated their
value. These grades all made superior
cows, one of them so wonderfully COM
bining the flow and quality Of milk that
she would make Is pounds of butter a
week. Where COWS are kept for butter,
selection of either the Jersey or Guern-
sey cross should be made. Seventy years
ago an Attorney bull produced heifer
calf, which was reared and all her female
progeny saved. At this day the de-
scendants are kept in the family of the
owner of the original heifer, and are
still noted as extra good COWS; and the
marks of the Attorney breed can be
traced, as we'll as the superior merits
Nearly half century has elapsed since
Henry W. Delarow imported from Eng
land two COWS and bull, Durham
cattle. The COWS were good mixers
and l recently saw two COWS descended
from this importation which showed thu
old Durham type in great perfection
although several generations removed
by crosses upon natives and they wer
remarkably good COWS. Another farme
began with half-bred Jersey cow, and
, by saving and retaining all his heifer
for Jersey bulls, he has established
herd of grade Jerseys which produc
more butter than any other dairy of lik

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC
CHURCH.

The extent and elaborate organization
of the Roman Catholic church through
out the world are illustrated in a strik-
ing manner by an official list lately pub
lished at Rome under direction of the
Pope. The enumeration of hierarchical
titles in the East and West together in
cludes total of I,l35 offices, all of
which except about 100 are at the pres
ent moment occupied. Of the dignitaries
who rank next below the Supreme Pom
tiff, there are sixty-three, and of patri-
archs, comprising both the Western and
the Eastern rites, there are eleven. The
archbishops of the Latin rite number no
less than 1877, with 600 bishops. The
Oriental rite is administered by only
fifty-one archbishops and bishops to-
gether. Of officials bearing the title of
apostolic delegates there are six, of apos-
tolic Wears twenty-six, and of apostolic
perfects 1O2. But of the bishops and
archbishops as many as 29O are appoint
ed to titles called IN partibus i'a1idetimns.
Four members of the College of Cardin-
ais arc over eighty years of age, and
only three are under fifty. Twenty
nine, or nearly half of the sacred college,
are between seventy and eighty years
old; fifteen are between sixty and sew.
enty, and twelve are between fifty and
sixty. There are twelve Roman Catho'
lie bishoprics and one archbishopric in
Great Britain, while in Ireland there
are twenty-four bishoprics and foul
archbishoprics In the whole of the
British dominions the Roman Catholic
prelates was recently estimated at 1lS.

We have seen some statements made,
and they are official, as to the very slow
rate of increase among the Congregation
alists in this country during the last
year. It averages about half member
to each of their churches. The National
Council would appear to think that the
difficulty is in the antiquity of their
creed, which has now been in use nearly
three hundred years. and so they have
appointed a committee to formulate a
new creed and new catechism. We
shall look with interest to the result of
their labors, and we feel assured that
their new creed will not be worse than
the one they now have. We suppose it
would be to no purpose to call their at
tention to the Apostles and Nicene
Creeds, as they have an odor of antiqui-
ty about them, being summaries of the
faith once delivered to the saints. The
committee appointed numbers twenty
five, and, in the interest of harmony. it
is possible that each member may con-
tribute an article to the proposed creed.
1t is an age of revisions, and from revis-
ion to creation is but short step be-
