neat, light colored Jerseys. But If you
asked Superintendent Fuller why he had
that Dutch COW among his Channel Is
land breed he answered you that not only
was Ida Marigold a full blooded Jersey,
but that she was also registered as such
In the book of the American Jersey Cattle
club. So she is, No. 32,615.
Ida took the prize as giving more milk
and making more cheese than any other
COW in the Jersey class. She was also
the sweepstakes COW, making more milk
and cheese than any other COW Of any
breed on the grounds. She won the
prize as the COW giving the highest yield
of milk of any Jersey in one day and for
yielding the highest amount Of butter in
seven days of any COW in the contest. A
description Of this great COW in the Buff
falo Evening News, from which our cut
is reproduced, justly emphasizes the fact
that after all the trying months at the
Worlds fair, more than half year in
all, she came home in excellent condi-
ton, showing her splendid constitution.
II Ida transmits this constitution, along
with her peculiar black and white color
ing, to her progeny, there will spring up

seys. She is the property of Mr.. G. A.
Sweet and is on a farm at Aurora, near

country, so that its influence may be of
weight in any direction in which it may
ultimately be thrown.
To obtain and spread among the local
associations full information regarding
recent Legislation for road improvement.
To obtain and publish full informa-

as practiced in various parts of Canada,
the United States and other countries.
To procure and furnish to local asso-

Cellar Windows and Screens.

For use during the cold weather The
American Agriculturist advises that Gel
lar windows be made double by putting
glass upon both sides of the sash. Thus
made, the expense is nearly one-half
more than when made single lighted,
but it admits plenty of light to the Gel
lar, without the risk of freezing The
air chamber between the glass acts as a
nonconductor of heat. This is far bet
ter than using single thickness of glass,
and each winter stuffing it full of straw
or other material, which makes the cell
lar as dark as dungeon. An outside
guard should be placed at each window,
and nothing will prove better for this
than a strong wire screen. 1t should be
of heavy wire and not over a quarter
inch mesh. For convenience nail the
woven wire to light frame and keep ii
painted, as its position causes it to rust
very rapidly unless thus protected.

AMord Ahont Cornorihs.

Not few farmers make the mistake
Of putting the corncrib too near the
ground. When near the ground, the
corn is apt to absorb moisture and to
mold, and the rats are more apt &
abound. The rail pen is not pretty, bu
if properly made there is no better crib,
says The Country Gentleman. 1t shoul |
be set upon posts or stone pillars AMI
not be placed on logs for "a foundation.
The rats are sure to burrow about the
logs. OF course crib should have u
rainproof roof. Such roof can be made
of boards, the cracks being stripped.
The board should not be nailed down,
but weighted down with straight, heavy
poles. Then the boards can be turned
upside down occasionally 20 correct the
warp of the sun. Corn ought not to be
cribbed until it is dry down to the cob.

A Hint TO Corn Huskers.

There is great difference between the
real nerve and action of persons. Some
are too slow TO ever become expert at
any kind of quick work, while others
have plenty of nerve and action, but can
not control themselves. To overcome
this trouble in husking corn Farm and
Field advises getting an ear in the left
hand before throwing the husked ear ont
of the right. This keeps a steady motion.
In looking away from your work to see
where your basket is you lose sight of
your next ear and lose little time in
finding it again. The ear being in the
left hand, as the empty hand comes
back from the basket the ear is up in po-
sition to be struck by the peg on the
right hand. After few days practice
in this way any person with common
ability can husk from five TO eight bush
els an hour and bind the fodder.

DESTROYING Grain weeviIs.

Weevils may be destroyed by the va
por of bisulphide of carbon. It's heavier
than air; hence will descend between the
kernels of grain, and is easy of applica-
ton. One and one-half pounds of bisul-
phide are said to be sufficient for one ton
of grain. Dr. Riley gives the following
method Of applying it: A ball Of tow is
tied to stick Of sufficient length to
reach the middle Of the bin containing
the grain. The tow receives the charge
of bisulphide like a sponge and is at once
plunged into the grain and left there,
the mouth Of the bin being tightly closed.
When necessary, the stick may be re-
newed. The action of carbon bisulphide
lasts in ordinary cases six weeks, after
which period fresh charge is required.
The bisulphide is said to do no harm to
grain, either for culinary purposes or for
seed, provided that not too much is
used and its action is not too long con-
tinued.

Road Improvement In New Jersey.

The New Jersey system of state aid
in roadbuilding looks to the gradual
construction of a system of free macad-
amized roads, The advantage of such
roads is no longer a matter Of debate.
The enormous tax upon agriculture of a
system of wretched mud roads is pretty
generally understood. 1t is impossible
to convert all the mud roads into firm,
dry turnpikes at once. No community's
resources would be equal to that. The
work must be done gradually, if done
1T the public expense, and that the pub
lie should pay for it and keep the roads
free is becoming popular idea. The
tollgate has become obnoxious. 1t is
not as heavy burden on the farmer as
the mud road, but it is heavier thar
would be the tax necessary to pay foI
doing the work at public expense.

DOMESTIC FERTILIZERS BEST.
A Virginia Farmer Claims That These Are
Cheapest aud Most Durable.

Good chemical authority tells us that
an acre of wheat yielding 10 bushels of
grain abstracts from the soil for the grain
alone, to say nothing Of the straw, the
| following amounts of important mineral
elements: Phosphoric acid, II pounds,
potash. IS; soda, 9; lime, TO- magnesia,
10: chlorine, Il sulphuric acid, 3 Frac-
tons are omitted for the sake of sim
plicity. 4 Virginia correspondent of The
Country Gentleman writes:
Assuming these data TO be approx
mately correct, how shall the farmer
fertilize the soil in order 20 secure this
amount Of grain, prevent depletion and
at the same time do it in the most eco
nomical way? This is an important, prac-
teal question, and the practical farmer
desires practical rather than scien-
tific answer. Are there domestic sources
of these elements, and are they cheap or
best?
Animal manures, wood ashes, common
salt, bones and land plaster will furnish
all these elements (and more) in quanti-
ties ample for all the requirements of
any crop. OF these, all but the salt and
plaster are TO be had from the farm. We
contend, too, that they can be had in
quantity great enough for the demand at
less cost than the equivalents can be
bought for in the market.
Wood ashes give us potash, soda, lime
and magnesia; salt yields chlorine and
soda; plaster supplies sulphuric acid and
lime, and bones contain high per cent
of phosphoric acid, to say nothing of
other useful parts. To narrow it down
still more, wood ashes and salt alone will
insure a good yield of wheat on almost
any medium farm land.
Farms containing rough forest land
have the source Of ashes in ample guam
tity. There is no better or more durable
fertilizer than wood ashes. Salt is cheap,
and almost all the Atlantic coast lands
need it. A very small application is
enough.
Animal manures, mixed with litter,
refuse hay, sweepings and other waste
material about place, ought TO accu-
mulate in great quantity. Careful hus-
banding of the domestic resources Of
manure will in most cases render the
farmer independent of the factories.

A Dairy Poem.

The following verses, written original
ly by clergyman, are printed upon a
card, framed and hung in the diaries Of
England They would suit American
diaries and creameries quite as we'll;
First clearly be, and last be clean as well,
II for butter you would bear the bell.
Wash hll utensils with the greatest pain
In cold, then scald, then rinse with cold again
With cold TO cleanse the albumen away,
With scalding hot the latent germ 10 slay.
Best buffers made from cream that rises fast.
Don't mix with first the cream that comes up
last.
To cool or warm Il, ere you pour inside
Your churn the cream, just let the day decide.
Thermometer in winter should attest
Sixty; in summer hfty-eight Is best.
Slowly begin 70 churn; let all the gas
And froth both freely through the vent peg
pass.
Churn on until the sound should bid you stop,
That forth in golden grains your wealth may
drop,
But first. four times at least, well wash the
grain
TIL water pure pass through It without stain
Then, since untouched of hand alone It's good.
Spread on 1.-The worker" with your scoop Of
wood;
Next let the spiral wheel the butter press.
And knead the primrose mass TO perfectness.
Don't treat like dough, nor wiring IL like clout,
But firmly, gently, drive the moisture out;
Then pat and weigh, and work with Scottish
hands,"
And so TO market send the best of brands.
But, oh. be careful where your butter made
Is stored for market, or on sale displayed,
Lest faint of byre breathe in through open door,
Or poisonous sewage Turk beneath the floor,
Or scent Of soilage from the farmyard harm
Your dainty wares and rob them OF their
charm,
For butter, like human thing. is prone
To take from evil neighbour taste and tone.
Then proudly. when the market day comes
round,
Receive your pennies more for every pound
And know that none will grudge you what you
earn
BY sweeter butter from DETER churn,
While all who buy your produce smile and say.

And bless the girls whose skillful dairyhood
Kept trade at home by keeping butter good.
