In your issue of Jan. il Mr.. Warren
claims the very great superiority of
lIolstrin- Fricsians, over all other breeds
Ul cattle as The best mak. butter and beef
producers" Again April 81, the lIol-
stein Friesan cattle are the best milk,

cannot he supposed that any man of
sensc would care to take the beef breeds,
though there are those who firm in their
own belief that they cln ride two horses
going in opposite directions undertake
to breed sort of half animal equally
good for milk and Jeef-pretty well-known
III llOards special antipathy, the general
purpose cow" The last quotation is
from a letter by Mr. Gardner, and we
suppose it is endorsed by the same Mr..
Warren, as he sends it for publication,
AMI 81, s the writer sis one of the best
posted gentleman upon dairy matters in
the great Northwest"
We have often heard Jersey cows call
ed goats, and have no more objection to
having them called rabbits than we have
to Mr.. Warren naming his most vicious
mule Gentle Annie"
In the Jersey rabbit" Chrome Skin
1880 there is 600 pounds of COW to sup
port. She gave in 90 days G97 pounds
of milk, Il pounds more than her weight
and made 20 pounds 10 o. of butter in
seven days.
As it is important for purchasers to be
posted in prices, we quote from the last
number of the Country Gentlemen the re-
ports of prices of bulls at two large sales.
'rhc highest prices at the sale of Hol-
stems by Messrs. Chas. Robinson & Son,
at Barre Plains, Mass, May 2.
IIobias Princess Aaggies Royal 1857,
bull, year, 5000; Royal Thurston 1901,
bull, year, $l05; Roster 3d's Princess
Aaggie's Royal 5000, bull, year, 500.
Please notice these animals are of the
celebrated Aaggie family, and are of the
most "Royal" and desirable strains of
blood of the Holsteln breed. Compare
the figures with the following, "The

Canada's John Bull 9Th, bull calf,

S440. As these are the prices realized at
auction, if Mr. Beauchamp has large
number of Jersey bulls we think it looks
as if it would be possible for him to ex-
change for Holstens.
The following advertisement has been
running for some time in one of our most
prominent agricultural papers, and we
ask its insertion for the benefit of Mr.

Impudent Strangers.

Two men were in town on Wednesday,
hailing from Wilmington, we were told,
and who represented themselves as sew
ing machine agents. They stopped at
the house of a lady at the West End,
and after replying to a question asked
her by these men as to where a certain
partylived, one of the pair (the shorter of
the two) made the following remark to
the lady; fl lived in town like this
think l would know where everybody
lived. of course the lady mad no redress,
and the fellow walked off. We would
serve notice on all such travellers that a
repetition of such conduct will be re-
warded in a manner that will live in
their memory. The other man was very
polite.

The Reason Why

Ayers Pills are so popular is, that
while always reliable as a cathartic
medicine, they never leave any i'll
effects. This is because they are purely
vegetable, and entirely free from Gallo
mel or any other dangerous drug. In
all cases, therefore, whether the patient
be old or young, they may be conf
IDENTIFY administered.
In the Southern and Western States,
where arrangements Of the liver are so
general, Ayers Pills have proved an in
estimable blessing. D. W. Baine, New
Berne, N. c., writes:
"I suffered long time with stomach
and liver troubles. tried various rem
edies, but received no benefit until j
commenced taking Ayers Pills. These
pills benefited me at once. 1 took them
regularly for few months, and my
health was completely restored"

lung diseases, Stomach and Bowel
Complaints are the most prevalent.

swiftly on this hand decline,
while eArth's splendor ana renown
Asunted light As thistle down.
