IMPORTED JERSEY CATTLE,

IMPORTED JERSEY CATTLE.
One of our wide-awake citizens
who reads the "signs of the times"
IN business matters Alright, is soon
going to the States to procure and
bring out to this town improved DER
sey cattle, famous for the milk and
cream they yield. For family use
they far surpass all other breeds.
The worst fault they have is they
are tender and succumb to disease
very easily. When once acclimated
aud understood, in fact when we
know no" To manage them right,
they will be found to be the Lest
breed for all dom este uses. For
beef or work, other kind must be
grown; they are not big and strong
enough for work, and are unproft-
able for the butcher to handle. 1t
is cream, good butter, rich sweet
milk, that We want for family use, and
these cattle furnish the articles
wanted in al eminent degree beyond
any others.
Some claim AYRSHIRE to be a bet
ter and more profitable breed. They
are larger will make better beef and
are harder, easily raised, give large
quantities Of milk, but it is bsttsr
for cheese than butter, or for gener-
al family purposes. Another quail
ity in which the Jersey cattle excel
is quietness and a good disposition.
they will let our gates, fences and
enclosures alone, will not ramble far
away when turned out to feed or for
exercise, which are very important
considerations to those who own
cows in town.
The following comparative annual
yield of butter by the Jerseys is in
teresting in connection With results
from other breeds:

with a selfish object in view" Either
our contemporary is more candid

and falsehood is to be laid bare by

for it, but those whose methods

A RATHER absurd fashion has grown up
among some people ofpublishing a card of
thanks for the attention and friendly
visits of their neighbors, when they have
had death or sickness IN their family.
There are few people who ever attend a
sick bed that desire any thanks, especially
through the public print. They perform
what. to them is regarded as sad duty.
Besides, those who are afflicted and in
need of the assistance of their neighbOrs,
can express their gratitude 10y other means.

the newspaper is put, need refor-

statement has appeared i'll our col

tons of condolance and personal
announcements of a similar nature
would be inserted only on payment
of half advertising rates, but we

publishers relate the same expert

pie to resist payment for anything
that they have been induced to con-

history of the literary society, in
this place some years ago, affords
a notable instance. They had over.
flowing audiences at their entertain

tie first impression has been unu,u

made but feeble progress against the
settled idea that butter has, or should

with individual success, but this
could not have placed it so far be

An effort was made a few weeks
ago, in San Francisco, to wipe out
this stain upon its lineage and to
adopt it into the higher circles, the
cream of society as it were, and for
this purpose a banquet was given at
the Palace Hotel, and the high dig
nitalies of the State and city were
present to extend it a recognition
which would at once unbar aristo-
cratic doors and'dispel high-toned
prejudices. 1t was thought by
those interested in oleomarsarine as
an article of commerce, that this
movement, under the prevailing high
price of genuine butter, would be
all that was required to remove the
bar sinister; for it is lamentable
fact that blue blood is not always an

Time enough has not yet elapsed to
indicate the degree of success at
tending this effort, but it is evident
that the product stands upon better
footing than it did before admitted
to the mahogany and cut-glass OF
the august dining room.
Butter made from milk is com.
posed of oleine, margarine, and
butyrine, the latter of which, from
the prevalence of butylic acid, gives
it the volatile and odoliferous prin-
ciple. Oleomargarine, when ana
USED. contains some, but not ali,
these ingredients of butter. Now, if
the spirit of economy can be culti-
waited to 60 fine a point as to render
the palate oblivious Of those wanting
attributes, there is but little reason
why the new product should not
Danish the genuine article from the
table. The only lingering doubt
which remains to be disposed of, is
involved in the bare possibility that
its basis may be the fat of a dog,
Just as we'll as the tallow from q
goat, and the most educated taste
would not be able to detect the diff
ference. Until some means are
devised to make " dairymen" honest,
oleomargarine, like clearinghouse
hash, must remain a mystery, and
find its most appropriate place on
the shelf.
