and thanks to the managers of London
Assurance, who have just handed TO me
for our poor orphans the sum of S20i.75,
this sum being the net proceeds of the
entertainment given by them on Deem
Der 80, 1881, In reviewing the bills of
expenses shown TO me. | could not but
admire the care that has been taken to
save every cent for the homeless ones
who are to reap the profit of such an ex-
ertion. Asking for all those who have
given TO our poor children this other
work of true charity the blessing of
God, | remain their humble servant.

Chas. B. Allaire, In communication to
the Breeders Gazette, complains OF the
low percentage of superior Jersey cows,
which he ascrbes to inferior bulls; and
suggests, as a means by which superior
cows may be increased, an increased regis
try fee for Jersey bulls. BY so doing, he
thinks ioferior sires will be shut of, and by
breeding from stock registered at large
fee, the percentage Of superior cows will be
Increased. The writer says there are over
20,O COWS registered in the A. J. c. C. II.
II. and only 45O Of those cows have rec
ord of IA pounds and over, showing that
there is only one In sixty-fve Of the regis
tered cows which has made butter record
of fifteen pounds per week. This is bad
showing for the Jersey Cattle Club. Is
the fault In the breed, or have the Jerseys
been extolled too highly2
TIE above would be only poor sbo wing
for "Scrubs." had they had the same care
and food which have been given to the reg
istered stock. We should hope there Is
more than ole COW In sixty-nye Of any
breed, which, with the best of care and
food, would prove superior. We would
not uDderute the Jersey COW. She is with
out doubt, as good COW for the mechanic,
and trader who regard the quality of rather
than the quantity. But, in our opinion,
she is not the COW for the farmer. The
claims of the Jerseys have been based u
on EXCEPTIONAL records, which have been so
high that only enc In sixty-fve could
reach them.
II you have good COW, keep her; don't
swap her for one simply because her name
appears on the Register.

How COLDS ARE CAUGHT.-A great many
cannot see why it is they do not take cold
when exposed to rain and winds. The fact
is, and 1t ought to be more generally un-
dsrstood, that nearly every cold is contr C
ted indoors, and Is not directly due to u e
cold outside, but to the heat inside. A
man will go TO bed at night feeling as we'll
as usual and get up ~ the morning Win a
roysl cold. He goes peeking around In
search of cracks and keyho,s and nny
drafts. Weather strips are produced and
the house made as tight a. fruit can. In
few DAYS more, the whole family have
colds. Let man 60 home tired or ex-
hausted, eat full supper of starchy aud
vegetable food. occupy his mind intently
for awhile, go to bed Ia warm, close roc m
and If be doesn't have cold In the moru-
Ing IL will be q wonder. A drink of whis-
XIV or glass or two of beer will facilitate
matters very much. People swallow more
colds down their thrOats than they inhale
or receive from contact with the air, no
matter how cold or chill 1t may be. Plain,
hearty suppers are good to go to bed on,
and are far more conducive 10 refreshing
sleep than glass Of beer or dose OF
chloral. In the estimation Of great
many this statement Is rank heresy, but In
the light OF science, common-sense ard ex-
perience IL is gospel truth.-Erchonoe.
