me Care of Cows.

There is frequent trouble with cows
when coming in, with their udders,
from inflammation or swelling; and
som etimes the difficulties extend to
the failure Of one or two teats, and
occasionally to the entire destruction
of the udder. We do no. pretend to
certainly account for all these things,
| hat are Of the opinion that much of il
| il the result Of lack of careful atten-
ton to the COW when drying ner up. If
COW is giving but little milk, and it IL
| determined to let her go dry, it is too
| frequently considered useless to dry
her up by Il careful system of milking,
but to lei her dry up without drawing
the milk from her udder In this way
the LIQUID part of the milk is absorbed
into the system Of the COW, but the
curd or cheese part Of the milk re-
mains III the reservoirs Of the udder,
and fills up the smaller and more deli
cate milk ducts, which becomes hard
and destroy the future uses for which
they are intended. When the fresh
milk begins to flow again these OBJ
s,ructed milk ducts derange the whole
system OF secretion
As consequence the obstruction of
tho full development OF the udder and
free discharge Of the milk causes swell
ing, Inflammation and the destruction
Of part if not all Of the udder. These
causes are reasonable and natural. It
is said that there is seldom a case Of
inflammation of the udder of COW
where the calf has run with the cow
until she weans it herself The natural
instinct teaches the COW not to wean
her calf suddenly, for her own and
her calls sake. And the man or
woman who has caargo Of COW, at
the TIM Of drying her Up, should care
fully draw the milk from the uddei be-
fore it becomes 80 hard as to obstruct
the milk ducts, and remain there to de-
stroy the usefulness of the COW. II is
not necessary that COW at the time Of
drying her up should be MIXED dry,
but 80 as to draw of anything which
might harden and greatly injure, or de-
stroy the cow Rural World

Comparative Value of Gems.

Scientists speak lightly of colorod
gems alumina found in nature, crys-
tallized and colored with oxide of iron,
and valued at enormous sums" Ii
hardly raises the moro precious in gen
eral esteem to know that the emerald,
ruby, sapphire, and amethyst are almost
the same chemically, or that the en-
eraid and the aquamarine only differ in
color, the former being absolutely price
less, while the latter has no determi-
nate value. Pearls only are sold by the
grain. All other precious stones are
sold by the carat, which weighs -four
grains. Diamonds weighing less than
a carat are more valuable than rubies,
saphires, or emeralds of the same
weight. But all the colored stones ex-
ceeding carat are more valuable than
diamonds, and the difference in value
increases very rapidly with Increase of
size. If a ruby is very perfect, and OF
a rich dark color, it commands an ex-
travagant price. A fine three-carat
diamond might be worth from 5000 to
81 900, according TO quality, while a
perfect tnree-carat ruby would find a
purchaser from s. 900 to 5000. Rubies
weighing four carats have been sold in
Eastern cities for $4,000. Scientific
writers class saphires and rubies simply
as saphires. The red SAPPHIRE is ruby,
and the blue ruby sapphire. The
present demand for fine rubies exceeds
the supply. 1t is not exactly known
where those came from which are now
finding their way into the market, bu;
it is presumed that many are taken
from old ornaments in family collect

scarcely less valuable than rubes

Elder lDucks.

Tho elder duck is widely celebrated
en- acoount of the exquisitely soft and
bright down which the parent plucks
from its breast and lays over the eggs
during the process of Incubation,
Taking these nests is a regular bust
ness on the northern coasts Of Norway
and Scotland, but il is not devoid of
risk on account OF the PERCEPTIONS local
tiles i'll which the elder duck oftea
breeds. The nest is made of fine sea-
weeds, and, after the mother bird has
laid her compliment of eggs, she covers
them with the soft down, adding to
the heap daily until she completely
hides the eggs from view. The plan
usually adopted is to remove both eggs
and down, when the female lays another
set of eggs and covers them with fresh
down. These are again taken and ther
the male is obliged to give his help by
taking down from his own breast to
supply the place Of that which was
stolen. The down Of the male bird is
pale-colored, and, as soon as it is seen
in tho nests, the eggs and down are
left untouched, in order to keep up
the breed. The elder is shy, retiring
bird, placing its nests on islands and
rocks projecting into the sea. II is an
admirable diver, its legs being set very
far back, and obtains much Of its food
by gathering under water. The bird
lays from five to six eggs, which are of
pale green color. There are gen
orally two broods in the year.
