The american F'Unaer gives la detail the
recent butter hst of Nj, s. NJ Shoemaker's
Jersey COW Princess ri which produced in
seven days 323 HIS nnd II ounces Of milk
yielding 81 HIS. anl 10 ounces Of butter
ready for nnrket The Cow was niked
three times every "a hours Princess 2l
weighs 945 lbs and the amount Of food con
sumed by her daring the test is astonishing
being as follows;
She was fed daily 35 lbs. cut clover hay,
AS lbs. bran steamed, % lbs. carrots and
beets, IL lbs ont meal, 6 lbs. corn meal and
9 lbs. oil cake meal. In seven days she con
sumed 1914 lbs. offood, or 142 lbs. day.
The test was made under the supervision OF
MIR. John V. Willis, of New Jersey, who
was appointed by the jersey Cattle Club to
conduct it, There can lie no doubt about its
accuracy.
The profit is not very apparent. Even if
the butter could be sold at so cents per Id.
the balance would doubtless be on the wrong
side of the ledger.
Mr.. Shoemaker declined an offer of $40 900
for his COW. He has just purchased the Jer,
sey bull Black Prince of Linden, from T. s.
Cooper, for $4,000.
The yield of milk from MIR. Shoemakers
COW, large as il is, has been eclipscd by that
ofthe thrce-year old IIolsten heifer Jamaica,
owned by Mr.. John Mitchell, of Meadow
Brook farm, six miles from New York. In
seven days, according to statement in the
New York Sun, this COW gave over 730 lbs.
of milk, or an average of 104 lbs. day.
The best one days milking was 1872 lbs
Ethelka, another three-ycar old Holstein heif.
er, belonging to Mr.. Mitchell, gave 1O1 lbs OF
milk in one day. Mr.. Mitchell was offered
$25 900 for jamaica and her three months old
heifer calf, and $4,000 for the calf alone.

LAUNCHING a CAIssoN FOR THE Bio BRIDGE
The first of the five caissons to support the
piers of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad bridge
across the Susqnrhanua river WAS launched ut
lliLTrc dc Grace, last Friday, in the presence of
large asscmhagc, including Col. VIM NJ.

When once started down the incline the huge
mass of wood and iron, weighing over $50, COO
pounds, glidcd swiftly into The water amid the
ch crS ct the spectators uu shore and the dozen
ar mare Workmcn who renamed ON the deck
The engineers had calculated that il would
draw four feet, and the actual draught proved
10 lie three feet nine inches. The caissuu is a
rectangular wooden structure, about 20 by 80
feet, with total height of II feet 8 inches. 1t
is built of courses Of heavy Imbrr-Norl Car
olina aud Virginia yellow pine--sccurely boiled
aud braccd, The walls having a total thickness
at j iect2 inches, and the deck or roof being of
, eight courses, with IL total thickness of eight
feet temporary floor was built in order to
float the structure, but it will be Knocked out
when the caisson is sunk into position at the
bottom of the river, Beneath the deck is.an air
chamber caulkcd and lined with asphalt and
cement, in which the men who are to cxcayate
the foundation will work. They will be sup
piled with air through an iron tube, and the
chamber will he lighted by electricity. The
total length Of the bridge will be about 5000
feet. The timber for the caisson, aggregating
1000, 900 feet, board measure was furnished by

Mr.. Plowman last week succeeded In
getting his bill through the House to compel
railroad companies to station flagmen at
certain crossings of public roads. The bill
was sent to the Senate, where it was re-
ferred to the committee on corporations.
1t provides that the County Commits
sioncrs shall designate the crossings where
flagmen are needed. The bill met with much
opposition from the large railroads. On
Tuesday the bill passed the Senate. Senator
Allen in advocating It's passage said that a
similar bill was passed by the last Legislature,
but it "mysteriously disappeared" after it had
received the Governors signature and before

THE SUsQUEHANNA BRIDGE BnL.-The
before crossing the Susquehanna bridge has
been killed in the House. A sharp discus.
sion occurred In regard TO it last Thursday.
The bill had been referred to the Hartford and
Cecil delegations, and Mr. Taylor, of Wor-
cester, offered an order to require those dele
cations to report the bill the next day This
raised breeze in the Hartford delegation.
Mr.. Silver said Mr.. Taylor had "cabbaged" a
Hartford county bill in the committee on cor
porations, and was holding it back to force
the Hartford delegation to bring out the bridge
bill. Mr.. Archer said the bridge bill had been
kept in committee for consideration, but that
ifMr. Taylor was playing the detention trick,
they would turn the tables against him. Mr..
Offutt, ofBaltimore county, said Mr.. Taylors
order was unprecedented. The House agreed
with his view, and defeated the order by 81
nays to "a yeas.
On Friday the Hartford and Cecil delega-
tions reported the bill unfayorably and their
report was adopted by the House To clinch
its defeat Mr.. Offutt moved to reconsider the
vote by which the unfavorable report was
adopted, and Mr.. Silver moved to lay Mr..
0futt's motion on the table, which was car
ried by 40 yeasto "a nays All trains will
stop, therefore, as heretofore.
The Senate also, on Wednesday, adopted
an unfayorable report on the same bill.
