A Wonderful Cow.
which Produces 500 Pounds Of Butter In One
Year.


A correspondent of the Peopls ane
Patriot (N.H) gives the following in
teresting history of the famous cow
"Jersty Queen of Barnet" He saws
She comes from the herd imported by
Il. L. Fairbanks & Co., and purchased
when only few days old, together with
her mother, byD. Harvey, of Peacham
VT. She was sold when nine months
old to farmer of that town for $50
In SIX months from that time she was pur.
chased by Asa Hoyt, n cooper of the
same place. Mr.. Hoyt owned her for
several years. He is very careful
painstakiLg man, and did not own any
other COW. The last year that she was
In his possession he kept an attentive
account of all the butter and milk
which the queen" produced. at the
end of the year he found that she had
made TAG pounds of butter. Many
were incredulous, notwithstanding the
excellent reputation of Mr.. Hoyt. In
1870; however, the COW was resold to
Josiah s. Kenerson, of Barnet, VT, for
Sl75. Mr.. Kenerson is well known
throughout New England as the able
agent for Bradleys phosphate. He
christened her the Jersey Queen ,"and
put her into careful hands. When she
came in in the spring of 1881, he had
an accurate account kept of her milk and
butter. She has already produced be-
tween 500 and 600 pounds OF butter,
and unless she fails entirely at the
end of the year her record will pass 800
pounds. The trial began the first part
of last May, and in one hundred days
from the time commencing the yield
was 4403 pounds of milk, averaging
44O2 pounds per day, and from which
251 pounds and 6 ounces of butter were
made. This would be fraction over
24 pounds per day. and one pound of
butter for III pounds of milk. Mr..
Kenerson has just sold the "Queen" to
A. B. Darling, proprietor of the Fifth
Avenue hotel, of New York, for $4,000
cash. Mr.. Darling now owns the two
best COWS in the world" Eurotas' whose
record is $50 pounds of butter in one
year, and the Jersey Queen" whose
record will probably, pass SOC, pounds.
AS some may be curious to know the
amount of extra feed given the COW,
here it is: Two quarts each of shorts
and ground oats, and three pints each
of corn meal, twice day, making
eleven quarts of the mixture in all.
She had besides one peck of carrots in
their season, and of course the best of
hay and grass that could be afforded.
This does not appear to be over feeding
for mature COW weighing 1075pounds,
and producing the amount of butter
credited to her. The COW is Of good
size for this breed, straight and hand
some in form, shading in color, from
black to fawn, intersperced with white
has a yellowish skin, good shaped I'D
der and teats, and very large milk veins.
She appears to be in a good healthy
condition, but not fat, and seems to
bear we'll her feed and the drain made
upon her system in the production OF
SO much milk and butter. Tt is to be
hoped that she will come off first best
in the now progressing trial, and that
in consequence Vermont can be cred
tied with the largest amount of butter
ever make from one, COW in yearrin
the United States.

Stick to the Farm.

We need in the country, and on the
farm, the very class of wide-awake and
energetic boys that at the beginning of
each winter season thoughtlessly hurry
off to the large cities with view of OBJ
tanning some more genteel occupation
than that of farming. The promised
diploma" from the business college is
the ig11is fGtatlts that lures him from a
pursuit in which he is sure to make a
good living, and, If diligent, ultimately
secure a competence.
It is O fatal mistake on the part OF
thousands of farmers boys to suppose
that after few months study in COM
mercial college they will be fitted for a
position in some irst-class wholesale
establishment, supercede some of the
old clerks, and march right on and be-
come head bookkeeper and then part
ner in the establishment. No greater
mistake could be made. Actual bust
ness is so different from the mere the
DRY of it, that it is necessary to com
pletely drop the latter from the mind
before it is able to grasp in detail the
former. Real success in any business
depends upon experience the begin
ming at the bottom, and step by step
working ones way up.
A few days observation in large
city at the present time will at once re
veal the startling fact that thousands
of clerks, bookkeepers, messengers,
agents and professional youLs men are
daily seen seeking employment, or are
eagerly watching the Want Col
umn" in the leading city dailies in the
vain hope that there may be an open

The Castor OIL Rem.

A pamphlet issued by a New York
tallow and soap manufacturing con-
Germ, gives the following brief instruc-
tons regarding the planting and culti-
Walton OF the castor bean, that may be
suggestive TO growers OF the plant in
its appropriate latitude: almost any
soil that will produce Indian corn will
answer for the castor bean, but a sandy
loan is preferable. The soil should be
deep. This crop does not thrive il
heavy. wet soils. The ground should
be we'll plowed, and narrowed three or
four times. The seed should be plant.
ed five or six feet apart each way. Be-
tween the sixth and seventh rows the
distance should be eight feet, to admit
a light cart or slide, in harvesting the
crop. Hot water, little below the
boiling temperature, should be poured
over the beans twenty-four hours be-
fore planting, and they should remain
soaking in this water twenty-four
hours. They terminate mu,h quicker
by using hot water. Eight or ten seeds
should be dropped in each hill and
covered to the depth of about two in
ches. The bean should be planted as
soon as all danger OF frost is past. or
about the time cotton is planted. Gull
tivate shallow, keep the weeds down
and the surface well pulverized. One
stalk in hill is sufficient, but do not
thin out until the cut-worm season is
passed. When the pods begin TO turn
brown it is time to harvest castor oil
beans. They should be spread out in
the hot sun, on hard, clean surface.
allowing twelve to fifteen feet for the
beans to flip when the pods pop. A
temporary plank fence around the dry
ing yard is best"

Washington, July ~S.-Conkling does
not appear at all satisfied with Arthur
and some of the remarks he made In
private conversation don't indicate, by
any means, intimacy and confidence In
each other which the public has for
some time supposed to exist. Conkling
has a very sarcastic way when talking
with his associates, and always delights
them by his shrewd take offs. He Is
an excellent mimic and apparently has
a very keen eye for the weaknesses of
prominent men. He Is eplgammatic
and given to inventlng expressions to
describe his likes and dislikes. 1t was
he who invented ''feather-headsn to
denominate a lf-breeds. He invented
an entire VOCABULARY of expressions to
describe Hayes. Conkling has since In
vented an expression describing the
President, and one that may probably be
heard Of again. He said the other day.
Arthur is the prize OK of politics; al
| he wants is a blue ribbon around bis
ear to complete his character. Look al
his fat, red, smooth face, his rotund
figure, his finely combed hair, and per

Washington, July 7.-Mr. Butter
worth, Of Ohio, in his speech In reply
10 the criticisms of Mr.. Bayne, of
Pennsylvania, said: "There were in
that state 1856 presidential appoint
ments. How many has the present
executive made, 1902 mol 10r no. He
has made five out of 1856; two of them
for cause. Three ~postmasters have
been relieved, two of them for dishon-
esty. (Applauie on the republican side
New York has been presented before
the country as containing a mass of
official heads Of 276 presidential ap-

Ephraim Holland In that campaign.
Cox, of New York, interrupted to in
quire what Butterworth thought of the
removal OF Mr.. Smith, internal reyenu
collector, OF Cincinnati. Butterworth
did not give a direct answer, but In
the course OF his reply said to Cox:
"You have a district 80 thoroughly
rotten that 1t votes the democratic
ticket by instinct" This angered Cox
somewhat, and he replied that such a
remark came with bad grace from a
gentleman who had seduced Ephraim
Holland, who according to the gentle

allusion which Is not of n nature at for

lied by Cox as a remark Of chagrin.

have the colloquy omitted from the

not until the debate had gone OH for
