 What is needed to help the averag. dairyman IS the information how 3o improve the herd already in his hands He needs to be taught to test each COW separately, both for quantity and for quality, and to have the nerve to dis pose Of tiio fIofi- syirfg ones, while building on those which turn him profit He needs to know that like produces like in the animal aS well as in the vegetable world that good ami mals produce good offspring, and pooI ones as certainly bring forth poor pro geny; that the male Is half the herd H. breeding. and that he cannot expecl to improve his herd without a good sire; that although grade male may be better than scrub, a pure bred male is better than either; that the greater and more rapid impsovemenf which he produces makes him cheaper ] in the end at q good round price than either the scrub or the grade as a gift and that t is only by wedding out pooI cows and breeding from his best ones. from q pure blood male of individual excellence and good pedigree, that h' can Tn a few years bring his herd 1T .o an average yield of 800 pounds O butler per cog. Prairie Farmer. A aeoryIs sflyer Mine. Many years ago when the red nef foaIned over the forest of Georgi there was in the piny woods above | Tazewell a silver mine. The location | of this mine was known only to the | Indians. They worked it for some time and brought the silver to Ruena | Vista to sell to a man whe was in the mercantile business, but whose name | has been forgotten. After a time they I ceased to bring 1t, and the merchant. upon inquiry, learned that the water had inundated the mine in such way as to prevent further work. He fur. nished them with pumps of some kind, when they again brought him silver After the Indians left this country fo' the west the merchant offered q ,OO( to any one who would discover the mine. After many fruitless attempts the search was given up by all except one man, who discovered the location of the mine several years afterward hg the dirt work and the old pieces oi 1 pump The gentleman, from some cause or other, was unable to pur. chase the property at the time, and il IS owned by an estate, the heirs oI which have moved away and left the property uncared for, nor do they know anything of there having been silver found on the place. The loca. ton is known to few persons Il also corroborates everything that has been said about ii. t.-Bro0klyn Eagle.
