never carried a book through the press can

The editor of the Michigan Farmer
doesn't believe the COW lives that has
made II pounds of butter in week, nor
does he think he ever saw n COW that
would make Is pounds week for month
together. He seems to base his incred-
ulity on the record of the winning herd Of
Jerseys in England last year, in competi-
ton for the Higgins cup. There were
ten animals in the herd. and the test ex-
tended from MAY l. to August 81, 1889.
The average yield for the II weeks was
"a and l-2 quarts Of milk. which made
seven pounds of butter. The Michigan
editor must live in a benighted dairy re-
gion. and the winning herd in England
must have had some outs about it.
A seven pound butter COW is not an extra
ordinary animal for New England. even
for native or anv sort of grade. But
Jersey Belle of Scituate, Mass, one of
the best of her kind, has an undoubted
record of 25 pounds and three ounces of
butter in seven days, and for five success
sive months she made an average Of 10
pounds week. From March ), 1877, to
March ). 1878, she made 705 pounds by
strict and actual recorder a trifle over
l3 and l-2 pounds a week for the entire
year. ''Euratus," another crack jersey.

The increase in the number of farms in
the United States in the ten years pre-
ceding 1880 is remarkable. as is also the
extent of some of them There is certain
ly fair prospect of landed gentry in
this country when proprietors of the soil
can count so many acres as their own.
There are according to published state
ment, 2S.57S farms in the United States
each containing 1000 acres or more; in
1870 there were 2720. There has been an
increase in the the total number of farms
nothing to be compared however to this
increase in the size. In 1870 the total
number of farms was 2.659. .0S5. and in
