AVERAGE SERVICE OF Cow.-The
average actual ite of a COW is eight
years. The possible productive life of
COW is twenty years. The writer's
best COW is the twenty-third calf of her
dam. An Ayrshire COW once gave in
the writer's presence thirty-seven quarts
of milk in one day with her thirteenth
calf, and at the time she was too old for
hur age to be indicated by her horns. A
Jerseo COW dropped her best calf, now q
COW, when she was 10 years old, and the
Centennial prize Jersey COW, Niobe,
was very old COW then Now, what
loss there is in wearing out COWS at s
years old A COW properly cared for
is then In her prime, and may compare
with man Of 40 years In that respect.
At such an age a man has twenty years
of vigorous. useful life at least before
him, and by outstanding his powers, ten
years more NAV be added. COW may
just as well and six years more to her
eight. and will beyond doubt, If she
is well used, and still yield better
profit to her owner than q four-year-
COW. Thus the productive life Of COW
may be actually doubled by good care
and usage. But how is this heightened
period OF usefulness to be gainedp In
the first place, longevity is a hereditary
characteristic, and careful selection and
breeding are required to secure il. Then
constitutional viRor favors it. This is
secured through breeding and early
training. The sound, healthy calf must
be well cared for. well fed, snd when
she becomes COW the training and
care must be continued, and the cows
vital forces well nourished and hus-
banded. Exposure and irregular feed
ing, not to mention actual semi.starya-
ton during the winter seasons, which
is far too common. tend greatly to shor-
ten the useful and productive life of
COW. II pays better to preserve a good
COW than to rear a second one and If
one lives sixteen years and has thirteen
productive years she will have been |
worth more TO her owner at the end |
than three COWS years old have been,
Tor there will be ten fully productive |
years in the old cows life against ten
productive years in that Of the
young ones.

Most OF the stock could have been
saved, but for the intensely cold

MUSIC.
TO THE CONVICTION sERENADERs,

We like music; it is the finest
OF the arts. We like musicians;
they are the divinest of hosts.
The pen, in the hands of one en-
tirely wise, is mishtier than he
sword; but music, in the hands of
one entirely accomplished, is great
er than either. Music is greater
than the sword. because it subaues
by the power of love, and all of its
conquests are pleasures; it is great
er than the pen, because, by the
major and minor of its argument.
we are enabled to scale obstacles
and pass, 10y more agreeable meth
cd, to happier conclusions.
Pleasure is an important element
in the makeup of human life. Music
is the voice of pleasure. This voice
is known by all manner of morta!s
1t IS understood by all sorts of
conscious creatures. The reptile is
drawn from its hiding place. the
untamed beast from the security Of
its lair, the serpent forgets its en-
nifty to man, and man himself is
relegated to the ways of original
innocence by the sweetly mystical
workings of music in the soul.
How tieetly do we skim the waters
of life's troubled sea, when our sails
are filled with the song-laden gale.
and the waves roll responsive to
the swell of harmonious pulsations!
How pleasantly do we not find our
selves lifted above the reach of care,
up to the level of peace, and into
he arms of divine love, by the hand

SHERIFF w. B. COOK.
EDITOR ST. TAMMANY FARMER:

A-Diho' 81. 4AMMANY L ARIER:
Having read the article in you
last Issue, advocating the reelection
Of the Hon. JAS. NJ. Thompson tt
the District Judgeship, and Will,
thoroughly concurring with "More
Anon In his estimate of our re.
spected and valued Judge, still we
think that much could also be said,
or rather written, in praise of our
energetic and reliable Sheriff, whose
name heads this article.
VIM. b. Cook, at present Sheriff
and Ex-Otficio Tax Collector of this
parish, was indicted into Office at
the same time with Judge Thomp-
son, both being elected on the % of
December, 1879. That Sheriff Cook
has discharged the arduous duties
of his much-abused and most diff
cult office with great credit to him
self, and to the benefit of the par
lsh, will not be denied by his most
Jealous opponents.
As Sheriff, he has proven able to
grasp the difficulties of his Office
to encounter and overthrow all OBJ
stacles-and being seconded by
able deputies, he has proven as
competent a Sheriff as could be de-
sired. As Tax Collector, he has
been honest, pains-taking aud capa-
bic; be has done much toward bet
tering the financial condition of tue |
parish-so much has he accom- |
pllshed IN this line that parish t
scrip bids fair to be at par value
within a few months, and St.
Iammany not only free from debt,
but with many dollars in her Golfers.
Can any other Sheriff ana Tax Col
Iector IN this State, having like
difficulties to overcome, say a.
much? We think Capt. Cook can
with pride refer to the able manner
u which he has discharged the
,nerous functions Of his office, aud
We think we but re-echo the desire
