Feed or Breed.

It's a very popular subject Just now
for discussion whether feed or breed is
paramount in the productive value Of
an animal, more especially In regard TO
the Yield OF butter One enthusiastic
believer in breed asks why any ordinary
cow cannot be made to give two pounds
Of butter day as . pure-bred Jersey
docs. Any one can ask questions which
viii puzzle wise man to answer. But
this question Is no puzzle, and would be
harder 10 answer II IL were true that q
Jersey COW as rule gave two pounds
Of butter day. So far there are about
forty of these aristocrats among, per-
haps, 10000 Jersey cows In the country,
all pure bred, but not all recorded.
But what Of the othersp II has been
said that the average yield Of the 3d.
960 plebeian Jerseys Is about
three pounds per week. How
much does breed for these9 On the
other hand, native scrub cows have
been known that, owing nothing to
breed at all, have just doubled their
Weld of butter when fed as well as a
Jersey cow usually Is, and IL Is these
native cows which have made the dairy
40 profitable as IL Is. Also, one might
ask was Il breed or feed that made O

CORREGGIn's LAST ANGEL.


The monks had shut his picture in, and
warming
For one more last look, one, and yet one
more,
Heavily laden, with the hollows burning
In his dusk cheek he left the convent door
Through tho south sun he wandered homo
ward, moaning:
"His Christ for silver gave the Jew Of old
Have not sinned, like him, beyond atonins
My Christ for copper to-day have SOLD"
Alone he walked, afraid to meet the faces
He loved the most On earth-Ah, bitter
His beautiful starving children, with no,
OF tears on cheeks, were crowded at the
gate.
But one, the youngest, spent with innocent
weeping,
Touched by the werm moon with a tende,
beam,
Among the shadows in the strnw lay sleeping
Forgetting all and laughing at her dream
Her father locke at her AMI lifted slowly
His dying hand-"Givc inc my brush,' he
said
When his Tast Angel" radiant and holy,
Looked at him with his child's eyes, he was
dead.
All, fever-snHtcn painter! if not knowing
What thing they did, thoD clustered
brothers there
Gave death with bread, they left legend,
showing
What glory may be gathered from despair.
If for those coins of copper they had given
Gold, that is light to lift and quick to fly,
The loveliest angel gliinpsel this side OF
heaven
Had waited, wingless, till the hour to die.

Where Hard Coal First Came Into

It was Hon. Jesse Fell of this city, one OF
the judges of the Luzorne county courts, who
first practically demonstrated the fact that

The judge being acquainted with the compo-
sition of anthracite concluded that all that
was required to make it burn freely was

Accordingly he constructed CRATE Of

large fireplace in his rroom, filled it with
broken coal Putting quantity of dry wool
under the coal, he set fire to it, and soon the
anthracite ignited and cracked merrily I'M
ill the whole body was n mass of glowing
fire. The wooden CRATE was quickly con
sumed of course: but tho success Of the ex-
ferment was complete Subsequently Judge
Fell constructed wrought-irun CRATE, aud
lad it fixed in the old fireplace with brick
and mortar. Into this tho 'stono coal' was
heaped, and for the first time anthracite was
utilized without tn. aid of an air blast Tho
