Thousand Pounds.
A gentleman of Rochester. Mass, has
herd OF sixteen Jerseys that in me year
produced j,0l0 pounds of lu;ter, be-
sides supplying IA family of 81. With milk
and cream. To question how he got
this great result, he answers i'll The
Rural New Yorker; The cows are mostly

them are the progeny of on COW, now

no secret about the matte While
there is much in breed, there Is also very
much in care and feed Not all the ad-
vantages of the low lands Of Holland
Or of Victoria's farm studded isles can
compensate for false economy ii feeding
and want of care in handi-ig. With
the best of care and feed not l Jerseys
would do as well. for there are Jerseys

Mr., Burnett keeps sixty fairy good
Jersey cows and fifty excellent grade
COWS. Every fifty cows comm nd the
attention of two herdsmen, who are as
sisted ut milking time by other farm
hands. The assignment at milking is one
man to twelve COWS. No abuse or rough
handling Of cattle is permitted, Both
the cows and their keepers appeared con
tented and happy. These cows produce
about 900 pounds of milk per day. A
few Of the best cows give an average of
forty pounds per day when at their best.
To this product of 900 pounds of milk
is added about 1000 pounds of milk
which is bought of the surrounding far
mers. This milk is all submitted to a
chemical test, and if it does not come up
to the standard it is rejected. After go
ing through the operation the milk is
made into butter, excepting large
amount of cream that goes to Boston ev
el', day for the Use of Mr. Burnett's friends
and customers The butter product is
about $50 pounds per day. The butter
IL made into half pound Jumps. wrapped
in very tine silk paper. and then placed
in nice boxes contained in cases. in which
it is sent daily to the city stores. where
it sells for fifty cents per pound. Every
department of the dairy is scrupulously
neat and clean. American Cultivator.

them might not be ill-timed
As to tying them on. practically find it not nee.
essary One hundred caps easily be made to

ing and curing clover in the cock, it has brought

relieve one from all anxiety, and when haying and
protecting piles of potatoes and other root crops
from sum- rain and frost, and in piling apples
and other fruit in the orchard before barreng they
insure their safe keeping, though the rain and
frost may be severe.
As write, the third rainy day has set in upon

Elk SENATOR BRUCE RECORDER OF
DEEDS FOR DISTRICT OF CoLUMBIA.-Op
Wednesday, Jan. 90 b, the President sent
to the Senate the nomination of ex-senator
Bruce. of Mississippi, for recorder of deeds
of the District of Columbia. Mr. Bruce,
says the Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore San, personally, is a very estima
BILE man, but his nominatian will be accept
able to no one except the President and
himself. By the same curious ratiocina-
ton which influenced Mr.. Cleveland, Mr..
Harrison arrived at the conclusion that the
best paying office in the District of Colum
bia is the exclusive property of the negro
race. Two of the white applicants for this
position had between them the support of
most of the cabinet, several of the justices
of the Supreme Court and Of the Dstric
courts, the leading members of the bar,
most of the prominent journalists resident
here, and very large proportion of the
business community. They and the other
white applicants had the active recommen-
dalton of nine-tenths of the people whose
business supports the Office Of recorder of
deeds. There were several colored citizens
Of the District who were applicants for this
office, and everyone of them is disguised
because, as they allege, Mr.. Bruce belongs
TO Mississippi and not to the District
