Cows AND THEIR Misunderstanding of
the very highest development of the cow,
under the best possible management, it is
estimated that good COW should "give an
average of 90 pounds of milk day for 24O
days; 100 pounds of cream should give 10
pounds of butter. and 100 pounds Of milk
Should produce 10 pounds of cheese. This
would be equal to 4SO pounds OF cheese or
l75 pounds of butter in the season. 1t is an
extra good cow that will yield 200 pounds
of butter in year. But there are COWS that
will yield 800 or 400 pounds. The goodness
of COW is in her ability to turn food into
butter"

Too MUCH Music FOR THE WORDs.-A
ludicrous scene was witnessed some years
ago, in country church in Scotland. The
precentor was burly fellow, who followed
the plow during the week, and whose only
recommendation for the post of psalmody-
leader was the possession of powerful lungs:
The paraphrase, "Ho! ye that thirst" had
been chosen, and the bucolic precentor elect
ed to sing it to the music of the "Old
CA common-metre hymn to a long-metre
tune. He began with stentorian stolidity,
never dreaming of the metrical precipicee
that lay Immediately before him. The first
line, "Ho! We that thirst, approach the
spring." passed off without mishap. Then
came the second line, "Where living waters
flow." No sooner had the unfortunate pre-
centor reached the last word than he stood
aghast at the fact that there was more music,
but no more words! With the despairing
look of drowning man catching at straw,
he cast his eyes imploringly from side to
side, prolonging the vowel-sound OF the last
word into two groans of dismay, to the re-
mainingnotes Of the line flow-oh!-oh!"
Thereupon he collapsed into his seat with
the air of a betrayed and deeply injured
man, amid the audible filters Of the rural
congregation.

Well-managed clay soil is knownto be cap
able of yielding the largest crops of grain,
and, if properly drained, with greatest GER
tainty. The reasons usually given for this
is that clay is retentive of both manure and
moisture. But there is another reason of
scarcely less Importance. Insects that at
tack the roots of plants living unseen, and
often unthought of or unsuspected, find it
difficult to live or work in clay. They can
not penetrate it, or they perish in it. And
these insidious enemies are the worst that
the farmer or gardner has to contend with.

INDIAN REMEDY FOR CowBoYs.-Last
summer General Sherman made his last an
nual inspection of the military posts of the
army, and good story is told by one Of his
staff officers Of his visit to one Of the West
ern frontier forts. When the General ar
rived there was large crowd of Indians on
hand to look at the "Big Chief of the
Whites," as they called him. After they
had looked MIN over to their hearts con-
tent, one of them approached and said {:
"Ugh, big Indian heap want present Of can
nom" Gen. Sherman glanced at the brave
and replied II cannot give you cannon.
What do you want them for? You mean to
use them against my soldiers" Now an
Indian is not often guilty of anything ap-
preaching wit, but this one did very we'll,
for he said, as he shook his head: "NoWant
cannon to kill soldiers. Can kill soldiers
with sticks. Want cannon to kill cowboy"
The reply was good one, but Mr.. Indian
didn't get his cannon all the same.
