Relative Value Of Scrubs, Grades, and

submit for the consideration of
your readers few figures showing
the relative profits of keeping scrubs,
graded Jerseys and registered Jersey
cows. To illustrate, | have taken
three herds of ten cows each-one of
which is composed of scrubs or ma
tives, another graded Jerseys, and
the other registered Jerseys - and
placed them in the hands of A B and
G in the order named. These three
men are good farmers and of ordinary
intelligence in the management of
stock, and render their account at the
end of two years. The scrub or ma
tive COW costs $50, the grade Jerseys
$50, and the registered Jerseys 5000
each, about what good representa-
tives of each class are selling for to-
day.
Bear in mind that these COWS are
not heifers, but are mature and in
their prime, and it should perhaps
be remarked here that the "scrubs"
are not really "pure Scrubs" but are
called "natives" with us, and have
inherited from their ancestors a small
fraction of some kind of good blood
such as Durham, Devon, or Ayr
shire.
The value of each cows milk
which is counted as skinned milk
is put at ten cents per day and the
feed at fifteen cents per day. Lest
this be considered too low for both
feed and milk, it must he remember
Cd that these values are based upon

operations in the country, where
feed is cheap and the surplus of milk
over and above what the family uses
is fed to pigs and calves. OF course
these values would vary with the To-
cality, but it is thought fair esti-
mate for at least this section of coun-
try-Eastern Tennessee.
The quantity and value of the milk
is put the same in all these three
herds, but the yield and price Of the
butter are both less in the scrub
they being one-half pound per day
per head, worth twenty cents, while
that of the grades and pure bloods
is given at three-fourths Of pound,
and worth thirty cents. The butter
product of these two classes of cows
is put at the same, because | consider
the grades and the pure bloods about
equal in dairy value.
The calves throughout are equally
divided as to sex, and this is thought
by breeders Il fair calculation in a Sc
ries Of years. Then on the above ba-
sis, the account would stand thus:

X Politics and the Country Roads.
Mortoa's Advance.

Morton's Advance.
With all that may be urged in favor
of or against the tariff and other ma
tional questions, every issue that has
been urged sinks into insignificance
compared with the Importance of prop
erly constructing country roads. Far
mers may join in the political battles
and urge the election of their favorite
candidates till the canvass is over, but
when the tumult has ceased and the
excitement has passed away, they will
TRANQUILITY settle down to the ordinary
routine of business, with the winter
coming on and the roads in1passable.
When we state that this matter is of
more importance than the issue pre-
sented in heated political contest, we
do so for the reason that when the far
mer has deposited his ballot he subs
mits the settlement and adjustment of
national questions to those whom he
has chosen to represent him, for such
matters do not present themselves di>
rectly to his attention for his own indi>
vidual action, but the welfare Of every
farmer in the country is directly inter.
ested with the efficiency of the roads
over which he must haul his produce
or use for his convenience in many
other respects.
Let us consider the value of the
roads as compared with that of the
farms and endeavor to estimate the
loss to the farmers of the entire coun>
try by the difficulties encountered from
impossible roads. The difference of
one hour onl y in hauling load, sup.
posing such difficulty to be encounter
ed at least three times during the win
ter, by every farmer in the country
would amount to many thousands of
dollars, and the difficulties also detract
from value Of the farms, as, to GER
tain extent, they are valuable in pro-
portion as they are easily accessible.
The matter Of the election Of a Pres-
dent is secondary to that Of the selec
ton of road master, so far as the inn
mediate interests of the farmer are
concerned, but while the farmer is
willing TO devote many weeks to the
work Of electiOneering for al office of
the highest grade, he is indifferent to
the selection Of competent official to
perform the most important service
(to him) that interests the community.
1t is time that farmers look to the
roads, not only for their own welfare,
but the benefit Of the whole. The
road masters should be chosen from
among the most competent and intelli'
gent, and so important matter a,
roads should not be entrusted to the
supervision of anyone who may be
willing to accept the position. Unit
farmers place greater value upon the
abilities of those whom they select al
road masters, and determine that
above all other considerations, thu
roads must be kept in the best condi
ton, just so long may they expect tt
travel with the mud up to the hub
and their vehicles shattered with dir
and filth, and as long as such circum
stances exist good road master i
worth a dozen Presidents.

ness than raising "hOg and hominy,"

also shows that his neighbor B, with
the same number of cows, with the
same cost of keep, has cleared enough

He was kind of a boy that people in those
days were too apt to designate as shiftess,
and many was the sympathetic word that
went out to "Corneel' about his boy.
His father thought him very common
place youth, without promise, and was not
at all slow in telling him 50. He said but
little, but the remarks stirred his ambition,
and when he entered, at the age of IS, the
house of Dean, Robinson & Co., one of the
largest banking houses on Wall street,
he devoted himself to his business with
an energy that soon earned promotion.
He was getting only $40 week, and his
father made him no allowance. AL
though he had only his salary to depend
upon he thought it would prove enough for
two, and at the age of 20 he married Miss
Nissan, the daughter of Brooklyn clergy
man, and a cultured, Christian lady, t
whose influence Mr. Vanderbilt attributed
much of his courage at that period of his
life. The commodore paid him no
more attention than before, and thought his
getting married without having money
enough to furnish house only another eff
fort of his shiftessness. His opinion changed
gradually, however, and in later years til
old man had William elected vice president
of the New York q Harlem road. This was
i'll 1864, and the year after he secured his
election as vice president of the New York
Central. In this position he was his fathers
able and efficient assistant, and aided
him in carrying out his far-reaeh
ing and comprehensive plans. His
advancement was rapid. He was a
brilliant executive officer, and sug
gested the consolidation with the Hudson
river, which was accomplished in 1869. So
completely had he won his fathers conf
dence that but little surprise was felt when
he was left at the death of the Commodore
i'll May, 1877, the entire fortune, which the
latter had accumulated, with tue exception
of a few trifiing requests and "A million or
SO to each of his other children. To this he
has added until the most trustn orthy est
mates put Mr. Vanderbilt's fortune at the
following figures.
Government bonds, $55 900; railway
bonds, $50, 000, 600 New York Central stock,
$5,0OO000: Lake Shore stock Sl5OO0,0o0;

THE PRESIDENTS DOCUMENT.

The greatest fault to be found with the
first message of President Cleveland is its
length Much of the wisdom it contains
will remain hidden 10 the general reading
public on account of the extraordinary
number of words among which it lies
concealed. Nevertheless it is conceded
by the newspapers Of both parties to be a
very able state paper.
The chief features of the message may
be briefly summarized as follows:
1t opens with a feeling allusion to the
death of the vice president.
Refers to the rejection of Minister kei
ley by the Austrian court, and ntmates
that no other appointment will be made
for the reason that the rejection was on
religious grounds.
Favors some means of ship transit
across the isthmus.
Recommends new Canadian fish com,
mission and says that negotiations are
pending with the British government for
an enlarged extra1ition treaty.
A moderate reduction should be made
in the tariff, but in such Il manner that the
rights of American labor will be protected.
Favors the suspension of the further
compulsory coinage of the silver dollar
Speaks of the present helplessness of
our navy and the vast sums which have
been lavished upon it, enough to have
furnished a thoroughly effective fleet.
Favors a reorganization of the navy de-
partment.
Recommends the reduction of charges
on domestic money orders of s. and under
to five cents.
Advises the appointment of an Indian
commission of six persons with large
powers
Denounces polygamy; promises the
strict enforcement of the laws against it;
asks for law prohibiting the importation
of Mormons into this country.
Recommends the increase of the sala-
ries of the civil service commissioners
and says there should be no relaxation of
the principles of the civil service law.
Favors the immediate amendment of
the law regulating the presidential #nc
Cession.
The tone of the message betokens the
sincerity of its author, and by favorably
considering most of its recommendations
congress would advance the welfare of
the country.

IT is remarkable fact that the pctti>
coat W as first worn by men, and that even
in this age and generation men are 10Th
to discard its flowing drapery And we
do not wonder that this is so, There is
dignity in drapery, as well as grace and
elegance. When Henry VIII, went to
meet Anne of Cleves, he was habitcd, we
read, 'in coat of velvet somewhat made
like frocke, embroidered all over with
fatted gold of damaske, with small lace
mixed between, of the same gold, ana
other laces of the same going iraVers-
wise, that the ground little appeared;
and in description of Il similar garment
belonging to his father, Henry VII, we
read of its being decorated with bows OF
ribbon, quite as a belle Of the present day
would adorn u ball room dress. 1t Is well
known that the garment was at llrst not
alone a skirt, but as the same denotes, Il
little coat. We have only to look at
Shaksperean characters to discover the
skirts of men. And easily enough we
trace them down through the ages. In

time that could be trusted to encounter
the ships of any important power-a
single vessel that has either the necessary
armor for protection, speed for escape, or
weapons for defense This is a humilat
ing and disquietlng exhibit. Mr. Whit
ney pays high tribute to our naval Off
GERS and sailors. 1t is a shame and a
scandal that they should be sent afloat IN
collins.
The Dolphin and the Omaha are visible
examples Of what has been achieved
through Robson, Chandler methods.
The former is useless for any other pur-
pose than that Of u pleasure boat A
single shot would be liable to disable her,
for she is an unarmored vessel of no ex-
posed above the water line. The Omaha,
which has been rebuilt at Il cost of 1872,
600, is an antiquated wooden hulk, Il mon
ument OF waste and folly. Four differ
ent and independent bureaus tinkered al
her so encctually as to leave room in her
bunkers for only four days coal, and she
can neither fight nor run away.
Secretary Whitney has studied causes
as we'll as effects. and his report recon-
lnends to congress the changes required
in order to give the country an efficient
navy, These changes, he finds. are needs
cd almost entirely in the Organization and
methods of the navy department as dis
tnct from the naval service. There are
too many bureaus acting independently.
There are openings for favoritlsm and
fraud in the purchase Of supplies and the
award of contracts. There il no provis-
ion for securing the best available talent
in construction. Mr.. Whitney is correct
in his assumption that the country takes
keen interest in these matters, aud his re.
port is one which cannot fail To engage
the earnest attention of congress.
