A Word for the jersey.

1t is not our purpose in presenting
the merits of the little Jersey to abuse
any other breed of cattle. The noble
Short Horn is known over the civil
lied world as most royal animal. 1t
has mersts for the dairy as well as for
the butcher pen. Besides the Short
Horn, as peer, at least for beef,
stands the noble and symmetrical Here
ford. Then, too, comes the Polled
Angus, its advocates claiming for it all
the merits of both the above breeds.
Then the Devon, meek, kind and gen
tie, looks out of its bright eye upon a
world of admirers, who contend that
for the dairy, for the butcher and for
work animals there is no superior.
The Holstein and the AYRSHIRE and
the Guernsey and even the little Guinea
cow maintain undisputed credit for
worth in the dairy, in the stall and in
the field. All are grand, and even the
native breeds loom up in the hands of
careful breeders as often worth the
weight of their long horns in standard
dollars. But here we desire, espec-
tally, to present merits of the .'pride
of the dairy" the grand little Jersey.
She is particularly family COW,
contributing, under kind treatment,
which she so well deserves, to the
happiness of those who watch over
and nourish her. With good care, she
is gentle and kind, always ready to
give her flow of good, rich milk, turn
ing out more butter for the same num-
Der of pounds of tactical fluid than any
other known COW. 1t has been COM
puted that pound Of first class Jersey
butter can be made almost as cheaply
as pound of beef from the best beef
animal, but the butter is worth several
times as much as the best meat. A
gentleman owning Jersey herd, near
San Antonio, has not sold a pound of
butter for less than fifty cents for years,
and he is selling several hundred dol
lars worth per month. Another gen.
tleman, living near Austin, receives
similar prices for his Jersey butter,
and it is in great demand. A good
Jersey will give from ten to fifteen
pounds of butter per week,
while fancy records have gone away
above the highest figure. At ten
pounds per week the yield would be.
for thirty-two weeks in the year, $40
pounds, worth at thirty-fve cents per
pound S119. This is more money than
well fattened high bred, Short Horn
or Hereford, three years old, would
command in the beef market, and the
Jersey cow would not eat in one year
as much as the beef. The Jersey is a
little dairy queen, and we wish the
breed in its purity were widely dis
tributed over the land.-Teras Farm

looked. 1t matters not how cheaply q
man may be able to produce beef, he
can not afford to waste half of the
corn fed to the cattle. In even the
most favored localities the farmer
who owns the land upon which he
feeds his cattle finds the profits of his
business small enough. He can in
crease those profits by feeding corn,
for this will not only make cheap beef,
but improve the quality and conse-
quently enhance the price of the en-
tire carcass. And when he feeds corn
he can yet further increase the profits
by having hogs to follow the cattle.
1t might be conjectured that the
hogs would become diseased, but it is
found that hogs which gain their liv-
ing in this way are not more disposed
to disease than are others, and that If
otherwise well treated the danger
from disease is not great. In fact,
many claim that hogs which follow
fattening cattle are unusually healthy,
and 1t is certain that these hogs are
not so much subject to disease as those
confined in pens. Their food is filthy.
it is true, but it is not filth that con-
tains the germs of swine disease, or
that communicates the body. The
manure is not hurtful. as is fifth in
sleeping quarters or the effiuvia in sur
face water.
Active, strong hogs should be select
ed for this purpose, as those of the
weaker, more INDECENT breeds will
often be injured by the cattle. But
hog, if one of the strong, lively breeds,
will take care of itself injury to such
as these is very rare. No matter what
breed the hog may belong to. it will
soon become accustomed to it's sur
and keep out of the way of
the CATTLE Jacob Saoift, in Texas Farm
and Ranch.

Cookery as a Home Art.

A writer in recent English paper
complains that, with the general adj
vance in the useful arts, that of cook
cry has remained in the hands of care
less and unskilled workers, almost
entirely undeveloped. eff Ii were not
so, he says, ''they would not have
left an art so important so entirely to
Evolutionary teaching, would have
developed it in way they have not
done; and would have combined to
secure pleasant meals in way they
carefully avoid" A consideration of
this matter recalls some recent dis
cussions of the questions of combina-
ton and cooperation, which have
thus far failed to give any practical
solution of this complex problem.
Until some more effectual means of
general advancement in the knowledge
and practice of cookery can be devils
ed, the matter seems to rest, as it has
for ages past, solely in the hands of
the house wife, and upon her comes
the weighty responsibility of prepar-
ing the daily food, on which the health,
happiness and usefulness of her family
so largely depend. In the knowledge
which is necessary to an intelligent
and easy handling of the matter.
either in the way of direction or act
ual work, the American housewife is
sadly deficient. often leaving the pre-
paration of food entirely to an I'M
trained and unreasoning servant, and
more often doing it herself with an
ignorance and lack of interest which
make it the most irksome drudgery.
There is more than grain of truth in
the remark of German physician
that American women never think
dinner until half an hour before it il

Young Clerk of 22 Joins His Fortunes to q

To-day, says Birmingham Conn., dispatch,
every one has been on the qui vive in conse-
quence of strange marriage between Harry
Baldwin. young clerk of 2, who is employed
in the general store of Frank d. Jackson, at q
salary of about $500 a year, to Mrs. Charlotte
Garfield, frisky odd widow, who has already
passed her IS summers and who is possessed
OF a mug little fortune of about 5000. The
wedding occurred tonight at O CLOGS. The
young bridegroom was dressed in dark clothes
with q short sack coat, as he sat in the parlor
of his prospective bride this afternoon. She
was dressed in a black silk dress, and appeared
to be withered-up old lady of about ninety
pounds avoirdupois- He alleges that he mar
ried the. old lady tor pure love. As soon as it
was known that the knot had been tied all the
drum corps and bands in town turned out,
playing oyous tunes, such as Come, Haste
TO the Wedding" etc. The streets were illu-
minated brilliantly, and shouts Of Joy went
up from the throats of men and boys They
rang the church and fire bells, and assembled
in front of the house where the welded
parties were, and the groom came out on the
front steps and distributed funds to treat the
crowd.

Three Votes Decide a Question.

Hot Springs, Ark, has become no.
license town for two years in curl
Gus way. There is statute that at
each state election, the question of Ii
cense shall be submitted to the ballot.
If majority of the voters be not for
licenses, then it is unlawful for the
county court to grant them. At the
last election the question was over
looked Inadvertently. 1t was taken
for granted chat by common consent
licenses would be voted. The returns
showed three ballots in the county
against license, and none for. Thus
the anomaly of three votes closing ail
the saloons in the county for two years
and thwarting the will of thousands is
presented. There were thirty saloons
in Hot Springs, which paid a revenue
of S32, ZOO to the county and city. The
matter was taken before the courts,
but the saloon-keepers were defeated
and they must suspend business for
the next two years.-Rochester Demo-

Thirty Persons Killed by S,aoao Slide n,

Thirty Persons Killed by a Sno,U Slide n,
Cottonwood Canon.
Salt Lake dispatch: The relief party sent
to Alta to rescue the living and bring back the
dead who were killed in the recent snow slide
which overwhelmed that town, returned late
last night. The rescuing party had a very
trying experience. Coming down the deep de-
files Of the mountain side, dragging sleds on
which the bodies were placed, sewn up in
blankets, they were beset by deep drifts and
whirling particles of snow driven before the
bowling blasts of winter in the thin mountain
air pricked like so many needles. Fortunately,
however, all the brave men who rsked the
faugues and dangers of the journey to save
the unfortunates buried beneath the drifts of
the avalanche, returned without having re-
ceived serious harm. Twelve bodies
were brought down the canon in mournful
procession, single file. lashed upon sleds. The
first sled bore the body OF Ma ii, Hickey, tncc
next Timothy Madden, jeremiah Regain, David
B. Evans James Watson, Barney Gibson and
Mrs. Ford with her baby dashed to her breast.
The last sled carried the four children of Ed
ward Ballou. The following persons reported
dead were rescued alive: Andrew White after
being under the snow twelve hours. slightly
injured; Frederick Culinan, alter being buried
Mr.. Keist wac in the DRIFT six hours. Besides
these, Mr.. Ford, though not covered with the
avalanche, was badly hurt. The body of one
of the Cinnamon was not found Mrs. Ford,
it appears, had premonition of danger, and
begged her husband to take her and their chill
dren to a place of safety that fatal night,
saying she felt sure the avalanche was coming.
Snow slides in the neighborhood of Alta are
of daily occurrence. One occurred last Satur-
day in Superior Guich, which the survivors at
Alta felt sure resulted in the death of Samuel
Prescott, B. Angere and John White, working
there. Two men, going there to see if they
were safe, got in sight of their cabin and tun-
mel, when they saw a snow slide start, and in
an instant almost the cabin was obliterated in
sea of snow. The conclusion of the slide
threw them violently to the ground, and they
hurried awayfor fear of another slide. il is
reported that& man named McDaniels, living
south of Alta, was killed by the slide of Fri
day night. Nothing has been seen or heard OF
him since. In three slides a. Alta, all Of
which occurred on Friday, thirty persons have
been killed.

Fattening Cattle and Hogs.

It has been demonstrated that in
practice it does not pay to grind corn
for cattle. Theory would 60 to show
that the more complete digestion Sc
cured by grinding would compensate
for the expense and leavea margin of
profit. But it is the testimony of those
who have honestly tested this matter
that grinding does not pay. When cat
tie eat whole corn there is consider
able waste. Many grains are passed
intact, and the droppings of the ami
mails will contain in addition many
pieces of grain. To allow this food TO
waste is already too extravagant in
many portions of the country, and is
becoming so in other sections. The
only way to utilize this food in the
iroppings is by the agency of some an
NAL which will eat it in the condition
in which it is found, and the only farm
animal which will do this is the hog.
Hence it has become the common
practice in many places to have hogs
following the fattening cattle, the
former obtaining all their sustenance
from the droppings of the latter. This
shows how surprisingly great is the
waste of food by reason of incom-
plete digestion, for it is found that for
every one hundred bushels of corn fed
the cattle, the hogs subsisting on the
droppings will add to their weight al
most five hundred pounds of pork.
These figures may seem altogether too
large, but they have been proven cor
rect by Mr.. Gillett, probably the most
careful feeder in Illinois, in tests COW
.ering many years. 1t is commonly
said that when corn Is worth forty
cents per bushel, pork should be worth
five cents per pound. At this price,
from forty dollars worth of corn con-
sumed by the cattle there would be
made from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars worth of pork, fully equal to
half the value of the corn. The man
who does not have hogs to follow his
fa,tening cattle, gets only half of the
value of the corn he feeds to them; or
in other words, the man who has hogs
to eat the grain passed in the drop
pings gets twice as much for the corn
as the man who does not have the
hogs.
Here is too much gain to be over.

Cocoanut Raising in Florida.

Cocoanut planting in Florida is now
in progress under direction of E. A..
Osborn, of Middleton, N. j., who sent
a vessel to South America for 1876, 000
plants to be set out on Biscayne Is.
land, Fla, and who also sent via Key
West all the necessary men, houses,
provisions, boats, mules. etc. This
planting will occupy 1,50O acres OF
land. The 100000 cocoanut trees Mr..
Osborn planted last winter are grow
ing finely, and are from three to five
feet high. Mr.. Osborn is also making
arrangements for planting 1000 acres
of oranges on the famous Indian river
and then will be one of the largest
fruit growers in the world. The trees
should bear, at five years of age, from
$50 to 200 nuts annually, realizing
from $3 to S. per tree if all goes well.

There, will be no school to-day. 1t will
greatly aid the teachers, and be beneficial to
the pupils If parents insist upon their child
rem taking but the one day to attend the fair,
and see that they attend schoolth remaining
school days of the week. So much time was
taken by pupils of all ages, last year, to at
tend fairs, excursions, and go visiting, that
that their progress in school work was seri-
ously retarded. And should the same pupils
repeat their irregularity of attendance this
year, they shall be retained in their grades a
second year. Overworked teachers must per-
form extra and difficult labor to keep these
irregular pupils up in their work, while
punctual and dilligent pupils must be held
back in their work until those having fallen
behind on account Of absence, have regained
their standing in the class, We have advanc-
ed from the first, day of the term, and shall
continue throughout the year, allowing hab-
itually absent scholars to suffer any conse-

that every parent may see the necessity of
prompt and regular attendance at school and
that he will do all in his power to help us se-
cure one of the greatest blessings our public
schools can enjoy. ma ,'''2

The Big Fair in Fan Blast.

Early Monday morning tide Of exhibitors
set in toward The fair grounds, carrying with
its course almost innumerabie articles and
animals for exhibition. So numerous were
the horses and cattle in fhe food that the di-
rectors found IL necessary TO erect a large
number Of addional stalls for their accom-
modation. By Tuesday night all of the avail
able exhibiting space in the grounds was
taken. The fine weather and large display
keeps the management, in a constant good
humor, and insures big crowds. Never was
there a finer list of attractions gathered
together in the same amount Of ground.
The flower and fine art departments are pack
ed with the most delicate plants and costly
goods and wares from all parts Of the county;
and in Agricultural hall the largest and finest
fruits, grains and vegetables that can be
produced from Henry county's rich soil are
dislayed in most attractive manner. One
of the most interesting displays in the Agri-
cultural hall is collection of samples of corn
from twenty -six different states of the Union
and one from Central America; the collect
ion was made by Mr.. Thomas Lngle. 2
