INSTRUCTIVE POINTS.
Horns In Relation to the Production oi
Milk and Butter.

Milk and Butter.
An elaborate paper on the above sub
ject was presented by Dr. James Law,
of Cornell University. before New
York State institute. He stated that
COWS and steers which are kept indoors
summer and winter do not form the
usual rings On the horns with any de-
gree of regularity. The same is true
of cattle kept on sloppy food; COWS
which have no regular period OF
calving and giving milk; and OF
steers The lecture was illustrated by
a chart showing the various-shaped
horns of the different breeds OF cattle
After showing that the growth OF the
horns coinc des with the abundance OF
rich blood. thus making the same requis-
tie for growth of horn aud for flow OF
milk. he proceeded: But it is folly to
say that the removal of horns will stop
the forming of an abundance of rich
blood. When the horn is not required
to be nourishad, there should be more
blood for the secretion of milk. There
is tendency in the pregnant animal to
fatten, also to growth of horn. The
horn itself contains no nerves and can
not exert reflex influence. Horn is
made of gelatine the same substance
making hair and part of the bones
and sinews Large bones and sinews
are certainly not required for good
dairy cattle. Nor is long hair a requis-
tie of a good COW. In autumn and
winter is the greatest growth of hair,
but the greatest flow of milk
is in the spring. He showed
conclusively. by comparison
OF the horns of the various breeds that
and butter yield must be looked for
elsewhere. The following points were
given as belonging TO a good dairy COW:
Development o: abdomen, depth and
breadth of body posteriorly. evidence
of large blood vessels, fineness of the
bony structure. looseness. pliancy and
elasticity of the skin, abundance of seba-
ceOus secretiOns, etc. He continued:
THE shock of dehorning depends
largely on the nervous temperament oil
the animal. Exposure to cold or bad
air may make it slow to heal. A de-
horned cow in herd of horned cattle
would be ervous, and in rapid breath.
ing would lose me carbonaceous mat
ter which would otherwise go to milk.
In fact, to use honey phrase, it would
be we'll to go the who.e hog or none
in dehOrning. 1t removes disposition
to disturb other cattle and begets
quiet disposition, making less expendi-
ture of the milk and butter producing
elements. We must not avoid cattle
having a quiet disposition and good d.
gestion. In other words, it is compli.
ment to the deho-ned cow to say she
has tendency to lay on fat. ! strongly
advocate preventing in some way the
damage done by horns. Chicago

Diversified Agriculture Always Sure TO

Farmers have been slow to learn
that there is no such thing as per-

enough live stock to consume the
coarser products of the farm. Surely
grass growing and stock raising must

these principles his practice will be
successful Not on.y is the fertility o.
his land maintained, but he is saved
the disappointment which comes to him
who stakes all upon a single crop or
specially. AS to details. we would sug-
gest a few points in this brief paper
The soil, climate and proximity to
market should have due weight in in
fiuencing our decision.
First, there should be proportionate
division of the farm into grass, grain,
fruit and live stock. and such a rota-
tion of crops as shall best preserve the
fertility of the soil. and enable US to
cultivate to the best advantage and at
least expense.
Second, the live stock, perhaps the
most important factor of all, should be
selected with care. No scrubs should
be allowed home with the progress
sive farmer. The next consideration
is, what do We keep stock for. or wha,
line of animal product will be most
profitable? When this is determined,
then comes the task of selecting.

In conclusion we say special farming

and intelligeutly pursues mixed hus-

ROBINSON CRUSOE.
The Original Hermit of the Romantic Isl
of Juan Fernandez.

The Original Hermit of the Romantic Isle
OfJuan Fernandez.
When Captain Waiting and his COM
pany escaped from Juan Fernandez
they left Mosquito Indian on the
island, who was out hunting goats
when the alarm came. This Mosquito
man, named William, was the first and
the true Robinson Crusoe, the original
hermit of this romantic solitude.
A few years afterwards, when Dam
pier. the celebrated English navigator.
visited the island he and a few OF
Williams old friends, together with a
Mosquito-man named Robin, put off
for the shore, where they soon per-
ceived William standing ready to give
them welcome. From the heights he
had seen the ships on the preceding
day, and knowing them to be English
vessels by the way they were worked,
he had killed three goats and dressed
them with cabbage of the cabbage
tree. to have feast ready on the ar
rival of the ships. How great was his
delight, as the boat neared the shore,
when Robin leaped to the land and
running up to him fell fat on his face
at his feet! William raised up his
cOuntryman. embraced him and in turn
Frustrated himself at Robins feet, who
lifted him up and they renewed their
embraces.
1--WE stood with pleasure, says
Dampier, Ito behold the surprise,
tenderness and solemnity of their in
terview. which was exceedingly af-
fecting on both sides; and when these
their ceremonies of civility were over,
we also that stood gazing at them
drew near. each of US embracing him
we had found here, who was over
joyed to see so many of his old friends,
come hither. as he thought, purposely
to fetch him"
At the time William was abandoned
he had with him in the woods his gun
and knife and small quantity of
powder and shot. As soon as his am
rSt1nition was expended. by nOtching
his knife into saw he cut up the bar
rel of his gun into pieces, which he
converted into harpOons, lances and a
long knife. To accomplish this he
struck fire with his gun-fint and a
piece of the barrel of his gun, which
he hardened for this purpose in a way
he had seen practiced by the bucca-
neers. In this fire he heated his pieces
of iron, hammered them out with
stones. sawed them with his jagged
knife or ground them to an edge and
tempered them; (which was no more
than these Mosquito-men were accus-
toned to do in their own country,
where they make their own fishing
and striking instruments without
either forge or snvil. though they
spend good deal of time about
them"
Thus furnished, William supplied
himself with goats flesh and fish,
though. till his instruments were
formed. he had been compelled to eat
seal. He built his house about half
mile from the shore and lined it snugly
with goat-skins. with which he also
spread his couch or barbecue, which
was raised two feet from the floor. As
his clothes wore out he supplied this
want with goat-skins. and when first
seen by Dampier and his companions
he wore nothing save q goats skin
about his waist. Y. Ledger.

before they reached the Campagna,
that they had not nearly money

and Quintus took the risk of returning
to Rome for ampler supplies. They
did not linger over their parting, nor

triumvirs were already at work in the
city when Quintus arrived; he fell at
ohce into their hands. and he and his
son died bravely together. fighting
side by side.
Meanwhile, our Cicero pushed on to
