The Shorthorn Cow,

Durham, In Brccde : Gazette
AS a lover of Shnlthorn cattle, and
one who believes their popularity in
America is but yet in its infancy, COM
pared with what it will be at no distant
day, desire to say a word on the sub
ject of fashions, whims, freaks, cranks,
or whatever you may choose to call
that characteristic of human nature
which prompts men to wander off alter
strange gods | refer to the period.
ical craze after some new kind Of cattle,
which by vigorous blowing of trump
cts is stirred up every few years. A
few years ago tidal wave Of white
faces swept over our country, with Our
friend Miller riding on its crest. 1t

to help in the great work of putting
deeper flesh upon our steers, but it d d
not cause two quarts Of milk to low
where only one was given before.
We read Of the boom in Channel
Island cattle, and note the swarms of
black-and-white Dutch kline landed on
our shores. All these are needed to
swell the volume Of our dairy product,
but do they cause , lbs Of beef TO grow
where lb grew before?
Now, Mr.. Editor, | am not so bigoted
as to deny all excellence to these vari.
Gus kinds of cattle. There is room for
all of them in this great country OF
ours, but to the farmer in doubt us to
what breed to select, to the ShOrthorn
breeder whose knees may be weakened
by the noise of some Jersey, Hereford,
or Hostein 'brass band" / simply
say the ShorthOn COW has stood the
test Of a century-has been weighed
in the balance of actual use and found
not wanting When bred with judy
mrnt and handled with decent carr,
she yields a return in beef and milk
which no COW of any other breed can
approach. While certain strains have
had their milking trait, perhaps all but
bred out, yet thousands Of trimming

If our breeding farms, bear witness to
their dairy habits.
England, the home of the Shorthorn,
has had Dutch and Channel Island cat
tie at her very doors these many years ;
the Hereford and the Poll have long
been the companions Of the Shorthorn
abroad; and have not displaced the
grand race which came from the valley
Of the Tees.
Little Is therefore to be feared from
these breeds in America. They all have
their merits, but after each is brought

my humble opinion, must be in favor
Of the farmers favorite-the milk pre-

BY the law of development, man pro.
crosses to physical perfection. But by
the accidents of civilization, the eye
which is the light of the whole body,
is in imminent danger of deterioration
Already the increase of shortsighted-
ness and cOlorblindess is attracting
considerable attention, and even when
these defects are not present, the eye
of civilization is much inferior to that
of maay birds and beasts and savages.
Not to speak of the cats ability to see
IN the dark, what eye can compare for
range with that of the condor of the
Andes, or for keenness with that of
the Indian on the trail of his enemy
Mr.. Br,ldnell Carter, whose address at
the health congress at Brighton is one
of the most interesting and suggestive
of recent contributions to popular
ssieuce, insists upon the Importance of
checking this gradual deterioration of
the organ of vision. School boards, he
says, should educate the eye as well as
the tongue, volunteers should institute
tests of distant vision, and trade.unions
should strike against every en-
ployer whose factory is badly lighted.
Even the most shortsighted people can
see the importance of Mr.. Brpdnell Car
ter's warning, and as the spectacle
makers are not very powerful corpora.
tion there is some possibility that "sci.
ence, common sence and humanity
may succeed in arresting the further

Welsh Servant Girls.

SikCs' "Rambles In wales"
That any employment for women
should rank below that of domestic
servants in popular estimation is an
idea which strikes the American mind
as quite a novelty. An American girl
will do almost anything rather than be
a servant. A factory girl ranks in the
United States as a far more important
member of society than a domestic
servant, This is not the case in Wales,
nor, | believe, in Great Britain gener-
ally. The servant girl holds herself
far higher in the social scale than the
ip.girl, or, indeed, any other girl who
works with her hands, unless it be the
girl "in business" as the phrase is. A
girl "in business" is what Americans
politely call a "saleslady," though in
Great Britain che is not infrequently a
seller of gin and beer-in other words,
barmaid. Barkeepers of the mascu-
line gender, it may be remarked by the
way, are nearly unknown in Wales,
unless as an exotic of American ori
gin. The masculine bartender of Amer
lea is an outgrowth Of pioneer rough
ness-a condition of society in which
pistols and bowie-kniyes were many,
and women few. There is hardly a
better servant in the world than a
really good Welsh maid. She more
nearly approaches the best French
model than any other l have known.
OF course she has not the training in
certain polished customs which the
French servant has, but her deftness,
alacrity, and politeness are equally
great. The politeness of servant to
an employer is as clean and fair a
thing as any politeness on earth. Its
absence is a great loss to both parties
in America it is very generally absent,
its expression being thought servility.
The servant In Wales who is not polite
is thought to be lacking in the social
culture BETTING his or her station.
The wages Of servants, while very
much below those common in the
United States, are, as a rule, better
than the earnings of any other woman
in their social plane,

was willing to cast in her lot with him,
and become his wife. Several bright,
beautiful children became theirs, who
tenderally and equally love their pa
rents. An emmet French surgeon
while in this country called upon them.
and examining the blind man with
much interest and care, said to him:

and was gradually successful; first
there were faint gllmmerings of light,
then more distinct vision. The blind
father was handed a rose; he had smelt
one before, but had never seen one
then he looked upon the face of his
wife, who had been 50 true and faith
full to him and then the children were
brought, whom he had so often fondl-
ed, and whose charming prattle had
so frequently fallen upon his ears. He
then exclaimed: "0h, why have seen
all these before inQuiring for the man

behold them! Show me the doctor"
And when he was pointed out to him,
he embraced him with tears of graft.

heaven, and with unclOuded eyes look
upon its glories, we shall not be content
with view of these. No, we shall
say, "Where is Christ? He to whom |

me him, that with all my soul | may
adore and praise him through endless

A Bushel of Corn.

The World.
Whenever bushel of corn is spoken
of it means, or should mean, a bushel
of the grain. 1t does not imply a
bushel of cobs, nor yet a bushel of
stalks, hut of shelled corn orits equiva-
lent in weight of corn in the ear.
Practical men allow, as rule, that a
bushel of ears of corn weigh from 70
to rs lbs, according to the variety.
But the only accurate test in any given
case is to shell a sample bushel, and
then weigh the grain and cObs sepa
rately. If the grain weighs 56 lbs and
the cobs II lbs, then 70 lbs of ears
will be for that crop equivalent to a
bushel of shelled corn. Another crop
of different variety, even though grown
in the next field, might be fouud on
testing the matter to require rs lbs OF
ears, or possibly more to make bush
eli. A bushel of rs, however, wheth
er the quantity is determined by meas
ure or weighing, can hardly be said tC
be trustworthy test of the amount OF
grain, as the result in su'h cases varies
not only according to the size of the
ears, but according to the manner Of
piling them in the measure. A bush
Ell of corn in most of the states, a!
fixed by law, is Sc lbs of grain, though
in NewYork it is made So lbs, and il
some other localities 60 lbs.
