Wanted. A Constitution.

The gathering together of farmers
ana others 1T fairs at this season,
often suggests the formation of agri.
cultural, horticultural. or other rural
societies. AS Il consequence. we each
year receive numerous applications
for aid and advice, especially in the
matter of Il Constitution. 1t is well
enough for such an association to have
some form of Constitution OF Com
pact. and the briefer and simpler this
is, the better. Where people are
thoroughly in earnest, very little
constitution goes Il great way. 80
far rs ohr own experience goes,
societies waste a vast deal of time
over their constitutions. In most
societies there will be one or two
men who are great on small things,
and who delight to show their learn
ins in quibbling over the wording of
a section of the constitution, and
spend much precious time in debat-
ting whether it shall read 1.-The Presi-
dent may" OF 1.-The President shall. y
The only way to get along with these
persons is, to have very little cOnsti-
tuition for them To bubble over.
Probably something like this would
answer every purpose This shall
lie called - Society, its object shall
he the promotion of agriculture. Its
members shall he those who, upon
admission 10y two-thirds vote at any
meeting, shall pay : and sign the

dent, secretary, and treasurer, and
such others as may he needed, shall
be chosen by a majority voting at the

ings shall be at such times us may be

characteristics OF the Jersey Cow

A description of the Jersey cow in
the Journal of the American Agri-
cultural Association by Richard
Goodman. Jr., of LennOx. Mass,
contains the following points:
First The Jerseys are u thorough.
breed and well established race.
Second-They possess as fully as
any breed the power Of Transmitting
their desirable qualities to their Off
spring.
Third-Iaving smaller bodies than
any of the other leading breeds they
require less food to build up and de-
velop these bodies while they are
growing, and they require less for
the repairs of their bodies when they
have reached their full size.
Fourth They come into profit a
year earlier than other breeds, and
thus make Il saving to their owners
of Il years food, handling and hOus.
ing.
Fifth-They have shown a power
unequalled to any other breed. Of
adapting themselves to the various
climates and to the varieties Of food
of all parts of the United States.
Sixth-NO cattle in this country
are more quiet, gentle, hardy, prolific,
or long lived.
Seventh-They are the most per-
sistent mixers Of any breed. They
seldom go dry for more than six
weeks; many instances are on record
of cows giving half dozen calves in
as many years without even ceasing
to give good yield of milk.
Eighth-They make more butter
from a given amount of feed than the
cows Of any other breed.
Ninth-They will make more butter
in twelve running months than will
the cows of any other breed.
Tenth-Their butter has u higher
color in winter, rs well as in summer,
than that of any other breed except
the Guernsey.
Eleventh-The milk, the cream and
the butter of the Jersey has richer
taste and more lively and agreeable
flavor at all times of the year than
that of any other breed.
Twelfth-The butter of this breed.
in texture and grain, has no equal.
Its firmness and freedom from salvy
character in the heat Of summer, Is
particularly noticeable.
Thirteenth-There is no breed
which has been crossed upon the
common stock of the United States
with more immediate or satisfactory
results.

The Story Of q Hundred Dollar Bill.

A distinguished statesman forty
years ago was on visit to Baltimore,
and he gave to y cOlOred girl while
here what he supposed to be at the
time u 81 bill. The next morning
the girl went to grocery store, and
after making few trifiing purchases
gave the bill in payment under the
suppositiOn that it was q dollar. The
proprietor Of the store, a highly es-
teemed citizen of Baltimore, noticed
that 1t was for 800, and he supposed
ut once that the woman had stolen
it. Ascertaining the delusiOn that
she was under. he informed her of
the true character of the note, and
told her he would detain 1t until the
owner was found. The girl told how
she had received 1t, persisted that it
had not been stolen, and assented to
the gentleman retaining it until the
owner was found. lie advertised the
bill, and the statesman, in answer.
called to say that the girls story was
true. and that as her honesty had
been suspected she should keep the
bill. He then departed to the scene
of his daily triumphs, and in the
acquisition Of a great fame. perhaps
forgot the incident. The grocery
merchant retained the note. in expect
alton Of the girl returning. but she
never called for 1t, 1t is supposed
being frightened and fearing being
charged with its theft. He deposited
it ut interest. Years rolled on and
she married, bore children, and died,
and few years ago son applied to
the merchant for the note and the
interest, which now amounted to a
large sum of money. This amount
the custodians of the fund paid into
one of our city courts, In order that
the court should decide whether or
not the claimant was entitled to it.
The court sustained the claim, and
the money was paid to the heir. and
