Raise Better Cows.

Mr.. Eastman says: The starting
point is Il better herd. We can
begin the work of securing it
now. There are not good cows enough
for us I'LL, even if we have the cash
to pay for them, which many of us have
not, but we may have them much
quicker than We think, if we but make
the effort The road is an easy one to
walk i'll, and the rules easy and very
plain to all, while the expense will be
found small. Time is the chief factor.
L will state the requirements: First,
balances to weigh the foods you give
each COW, as well as her milk; second,
a Babcock test; third, Il good lead pen
Gil and note book. Then begin work.
All, or nearly all, native herds contain
one, two or more cows that are not only
persistent mixers, giving milk nine or
ten months, but Il good flow of it, aud
containing or more per cent. of butter
fat. The scale and test will Introduce
you to them. Get acquainted, thea
purchase Il thoroughbred bull from a
good butter family of a butter-mallinS
breed. Do not use him till he is nearly
or quite two years old, then breed these
tested COWS to him. Take good care
of the heiferS; have them come in milk
when they are % to "a months old /;
use the scale, test and pencil, then if
you find they are an improvement upon
the mothers, keep them and breed them
once more to the same sire. / would
not inbrCed further, although there are
those who do it and report good results.
II these heiferS do not prove to be bet
ter than their mothers, change the sire
and begin again with the old cows. l
have pursued this course, and have
raised the production Of my herd of
80 from less than $50 pounds of butter
each to nearly 300 pounds. ! am using
thoroughbred Guernsey, and have Il
number of his daughters that are giving
much promise. My herd works most in
winter, when the product brings the
best prices. / can make fully as much
butter per COW in winter as in summer,
of better quality and at less cost, and
SO can any intelligent dairyman If he
but makes the effort. OF course, he
cannot do it in the old way, by keeping
! his COWS in cold stables nights turning
them into a barnyard to SILVER in zero
weather and feeding them dry timothy
hay cut Aug. Is, and musty, moldy
cornstalks, stacked round pole out-of
doors. He must have paying cows

suicide this morning had been for some
time during DarlingtonS absence deal

while he was abroad, and was informed
by Runk that certain large bills which
had accumulated i'll the interval had
been paid.
When the discovery was made yester-

Advantages of ~ Large GLASS on the South

Professor Pickering, director of tho
Harvard University Observatory, in II
circular giving reasons why Il largo
glass could advantageously be located
st Haryard'S astronomical station ut
Arequiqa, Peru, says: Nearly all of
the largest telescopes are north of
attitude 30 degrees, although this re-
gion covers but little more than one
fifth of the entire surface of the earth.
None of the seventeen largest and but
one of the fifty-three largest telescopes
are south of this region. OF the entire
. list OF scyenty-four but four having
diamcters of 10, IL, 10, and 10 inches
are south of 80 degrees. The four
largest telescopes north of 30 degrees
have apertur1s of 80, 30, %, and u
inches respectively.
y series of telescopes of the largest
size Gncluding four Of the six largest,
the telescopes of Lick, pulkowa, Unit
ed States Naval and Mccormick obscr-
vatorics) has been constructed by tho
firm of AIYan Clark and Sons. But
enc member Of the firm now survives,
Mr. Avian q. Clark, and he expresses
Il doubt whether he would be ready 10
undertake. the construction of more
than one large telescope i'll the future.
Th glass is obtained with difficulty,
and often only after Il delay of years.
A pair of disks of excellent glass suit
able for Il telescope having an aperture
of forty inches has been cast and can
low probably be purchased ut cost,
$4,000. The expense of grinding md
mounting would he $4,000. A suitable
building would at least cost $4,000.
If the sum of 100000 could be provid-
ed it would permit the construction OF
this telescope, its erection in Peru and
the means of keeping it ut work for
several years. Subsequently the other
funds Of this observatory would secure
its permanent employment. Since
station is already established by this
observatory in Peru a great saving
could be effected in supervision and
similar expenses, which otherwise
| would lender 4 much larger outlay
necessary.

hen to Our Corn Foddcr.

The usual practice is to cut corn for
fodder, also for silage, when the ker-
nelS begin to glaze. From the Penn
sylvania Station the report comes that,
while small varieties increase i'll food
value until nearly mature, III large
varieties the gain is SO small that it
is considered better to cut when the
leaves are tender. At this station, ac-
cording To the bulletin quoted, fully
one-haf of the total food material i'll
corn fodder was found in the ears,
one-fourth to onethird in the leaves
and husks (stoyer) and the rest in the
stalks. As the cobS contained one
tenth, and the butts of the stalks con-
tanned four to five times as much us
the tops, it is inferred that there is
considerable loss when the stalks are
fed whole. which might be saved We're
