The Difference in Breeds.

From the Farmers Magazine.
The difference I the original cost of .
sixteen pound but ter COW and the COM
mon grade is very great, and so is the
difference in yield. About $500 is asked
for first-class jersey or Guernsey.
This sum seems large to an observer OF
figures when applied to the cost of a
COW, but when it is considered that Jer-
seys, and even the grade Jerseys, re-
turn an income, clear of all expenses, of
500 annually, the price may he said to
be low. Not only is the yield of butter
much greater but the market price OF
such known az 'gilt.edged" is higher.
In the face of this fact does it not become
the. duty of farmers to invest in the .di
rection of the fine breeds. If farming
or dairying is to be successful it must be
conducted in q manner that brings into
use only the best material! A cow is a
machine. She converts certain kinds
of food into milk, and
according to her nature and adaptation
she prominently changes the character
ofthe milk. "A Jersey appropriates the
greater portion of the carbon, which is
changed in the system into fat. stearine
or cream. But the tendency on her
part is strongly in favor of the latter,
and in that respect she fulfills her pur-
poses. The Aryshre, on the contrary,
appropriates more heterogeneous ele-
lneht from the food, and her natural
CHARACTERISTIC is in yielding q quality of
milk containing caseine, which we find
in cheese: As animals are thus adapted
for certain purposes, being bred to such
perfection by the genius Of man, is it
not essential that the farmer, in order
to be successful, should take advantage
Of the privileges before him for i'm
urOVement?

Al Singing Tree.

The "stinging-tree" of Queensland,
Australia, is q luxurious shrub; pleasing
to the eye, but dangerous to the touch.
It grows from two or three inches to
ten or fifteen feet in height, and emits
disagreeable odor. a traveller says,
sometimes, while shooting turkeys in
the shrubs, have entirely forgotten
the stinging.tree till I was warned Of its
close proximity by its smell, and have
often found myself in little forest Of

The Simplest Method Of Dress Re

In spite of the attack of "A Woman"
on male dress, it is oblivious that men
on the whole run little danger to health
from the caprices of the mode. Their
clothes are at all times 80 fashioned that
they can wear unknown any quantity of
inner clothing, and the gayest dandy in
evening dress may be amply protected
from sudden chills. This is not the case
as regards ladies at balls, and herein
men show more sense than women.
The open coat, also, may always be but
toned across the ches', and inner
drawers may make up for the thin trou-
sers. As to the latter garment, which
some women envy and others attack,
there is, it we may say 80, an absurd
fuss made about its advocacy and use.
We believe it is an omen secret that
"dual'' garments have long been worn by
ladies Of all ages, from school girls up to
matrons, and that, as they are not ex-
hibited. they may be as long or as short,

large Rutter Yields

The extraordinary products of milk
or butter from single cows in the seven,
ten or thirty days trials, AS the case
may be, which result in 80 pounds and
6 ounces in thirty days, as quoted in the
statement concerning the Hostein cow
Mercedes, and the tests of sever
al Jersey COWS are not to be set aside
with the remark, "Tt is impossible, I
don't believe them" There can be no
reason to doubt the statement of we'll
known reliable men who make these
tests and make affidavit thereto. The
facts are that they are undoubtedly COR
rect. At the same time they are made
under the most favorable circumstances
relating to condition of cow, feed and
care. And while they do not indicate
that such enormous yields are possible,
for any extended time, or that they
are procured with profit, yet they do
show the possibilities in the matter and
indicate an improvement to a very
great extent in dairy stock. They also
stimulate the breeding OF choice dairy
stock, because the several breeders, as
they endeavor to excel each other in
maximum yields, will breed very many
good COWS in the endeavor to get one
that shalt head the list.
We think, therefore, that they should
be encouraged, providing always that
correct and honest statements only are
given.

Starting a Stack.

A correspondent of Farm md Fireside
describes new way of1sarting stack
foundation as follows: Having selected
a gently-sloping place to build our stack,
we commenced to stand the sheaves up
around a single shock until it was as large
as we wanted for foundations. then we
used the broken or cap-sheaves around
the edges and corners for the first layer
in the rick. After this we built the stack
as in any other mode of ricking. The
weather was very unfavorable for grain
Kicked out of doors, it being 80 wet that
we could scarcely find two DAYS in sue
cession dry enough for threshing. But
when we came to thresh, we found that
the foundation, as we'll as the rest of the
rick, was perfectly dry, except that on
the west side few sheaves were damp
on account of the rain which had been
blown on by the wind. The greatest adj
vantage gained by this method is that
the wheat standing on end for founda-
ton catches and saves all the scatterings
from pitching on the stack. which are
always lost by pitching on rail founda-
ton.

COIllnlDllS'S Love Story.

was convinced he had met his fate, and
the inquiries he made confirmed his
ardor. She was the daughter of dis
tinguished sailor, Bartoiomeo Pales-
Santo. Her father had died without

his living by drawing charts, managed

whose husbands position might have
enabled her to look higher for her

adapting himself to circumstances. At
any rate, the union proved happy one.

An Indians Rescue.

The great Indian warrior, Tecumseh,
though by birth and education a ''say-
age" was, nevertheless, much above a
savage in magnanimity, and in his ideas
and practice of Justice and mercy. Su-
perior to the prejudices and customs Of
his people, even when these were tacitly
sanctioned by his white allies, the Of
ficers and agents of Great Britain, Te-
cumseh was never known to offer vio-
lence to prisoners, nor to permit it in
others. So strong was his sense of hon.
or and humanity on this point, that even
frontier women and children, wherever
his character was known, felt secure
from the tomahawks of the hostile Indi-
ans. If Tecumseh was in camp. A strik-
Ing instance of this confidence is present.
Ell in the following anecdote:
The British and Indians were en-.
canped near the river Raisin; and while
holding talk within eighty or a hun
dred yards Of Mrs: Ruand's house. some
Sacs and Winnebagoes entered her
dwelling, and began to plumber it:
She immediately sent her little daugh-
ter, eight or nine years old, requesting
Tecumseh to come to her assistance.

ing?, by the skirt of his hunting shirt,

Come to our house; bad Indians are

Without waiting to close his speech,
the chief started for the house on fast
walk. On entering he was met by two
or three Indians dragging trunk to-
wards the door. He seized his toma.
hawk and leveled one of them at q blow,
They prepared for resistance, but he
shouted to them
dogs! am Tecumseh"
No sooner did they hear that, and
catch the flash of the chiefs wrathful
eye, than they fed.
"And you'll" cried lecumseh, turning
to some British officers, "you are worse
than dogs to break your faith with pris-
cners!" -.~
The officers expressed their regrets to
Mrs. Rutland and offered to place guard
around the house, but she declined, OBJ

Roses From Cuttings.

European horticulturists sometimes
adopt this mode OF planting rose cut
tlngs 80 as 10 root with more certainty
They bend tho shoot and insert both
ends into the ground, leaving a single
bud uncovered at the middle and on the
surface of the ground, The cuttings are
about ten inches long and are bent
over stick laid fat on the ground,
holes being dug on each end of the
stick for the reception of the end of the
of shoot, but the other end being buried
prevents evaporation and drying mp. A
correspondent of the London Garden
says that he has tried this, along with
the old mode, and that while the weaker
cuttings of the latter have shown symp-
toms of drying and failure, ali the
former have grown vigorously.
