attention and the lack of attention be-
slowed upon the race. the short-horn
cattle stand almost at the head of the
list as the most profitable cows that
American farmers can own. Exceptions
are not even made for the Jerseys. The
latter may hold the record for BUTTER
producing, but after that is said tho
merits of these cows have been exhaust
ed.
Il do not think the ideal COW for the
farm, or even for the dairy, is one that
is small of frame, and good only for
producing milk and cream. We need
animals that will sell well when the milk
ing period is over with, and calves that
will be heavy when ready for the butch
er's scales"
Twenty-Five years ago one of the best
dairy lecturers made the above remarks,
and they seem to the writer to be as
sound to-day as then. In the series of
tests at Chicago during the Worlds
Fair it was shown that the shorthorns
made the most profit from u given
amoun of food than any other breed
when both the butter and increase in
live weight were considered. This is
the key to the whole question, and one
that opens up a wide field for discus
sion.
Is live weight in the cows of any par
ticular value to the dairyman? A
great many in buying cows for the
dairy do not consider this at all. 1t is
simply the quantity aud quality of the
milk and cream that they consider. In
one sense they are all right. 1t would
be unwise for them to purchase beef
cattle that gave very little cream and
milk, but, other things being equal, the
beef cattle would be preferable. The
short-horns are not heavy eaters. FOR
every pound of grain they consume they
give q full, square return in cream and
beef.
Now on every dairy the number and
weight of the calves produced are very}
important. Only the choicest of these
are kept for milking purposes. The
others are sad rs soon as large enough.
The Jersey calves are small, light, and
hardly to be compared with the heavy,
rapid-growing short-horns. The latter
are the finest calves in the market, and
the mothers the finest beef animals
raised. When it to disposing of
the WORKOUT mixers it is very import
ant whether the animals weigh 500 to
l.2o0 pounds, or tip the scales at 1000
to 5000 pounds.
The general farmer can not do better
than go into raising feed cattle and
dairy cows combined. The short-horns
properly MIXED yield an abundance of
milk, and they will increase SO rapidly
in weight without extra feeding that
they will pay n handsome profit. When
the dairy business is dull. and not pay
ing, the short-horns can be fattened for
market in a short time. By this means
the farmer has two bows to his string,
and this is not a bad practice at all, de-
spite the cry of some that we should not
have SO many irons in the fire. AS the
sheep for American farmers must pro-
duce good wool and good mutton, so
must the ideal COW be a good mixer ard

Recent English Invention.

Turned Out with Marvellous RapIdIty Inv g.
Recent English Invention.
There is no doubt that both the type-
writing machine and the phonograph
are very ingenious and useful invcn-
tions, but the chief difficulty with
them, says the New York Times, is
that they cannot be made to act auto
matically. 1t is in order to fill this
want that a distinguished inventor.
whose name is for the present with
held, has invented an automatic writer.
and, Judging 1rOm Tic private cXhUi-
ton of the machine which was recently
given in London to committee of
members of the Royal society, it bids
fair to prove the greatest invention of
this or any age.
In appearance the machine is said to
be not wholly unlike typcwritlng
machine. 1t, however, is provided with
sort of hopper, in which are placed
blocks of type metal, each one of which
is provided with complete word, in
stead of a single letter. When his
hopper is filled and the small electric
engine which furnishes the motive
power of the machine is set in action it
instantly begins to print. Of course,
"ii1O ~ ~ lICSl Slci)SIl(lS III IL TOOu uC-
gree upon the selection of words which
a&e placed in the hopper, but it is un-
dcrstood the machine can be used for
almost uny sort of composition.
At the exhibition already mentioned
the hopper was filled with Il supply of
words relating to the English political
situation, and in ten minutes after the
engine had been started the machine
had printed two full columns, each of
about the length of an ordinary col
umn of a newspaper. When these were
read they were instantly recognized to
be speech on home rule in the general
style of Mr.. Gladstone. The hopper
was next filled with n choice selection
of the very finest words in the Ian
guage, and the machine thereupon
printed what was at once perceived to
be an essay after the manner of Mr..
Ruskin on political economy. More
words were added and three pages of
what any critic would have unhesi-
tatingly accepted rs Il passage from q
new novel by Mr.. Meredith delighted
the committee. The last experiment
was made with the hopper filed with
words taken from the Slang Diction-
ary and the result was story in dia-
lect which was held to be superior to
almost any dialect story hitherto pub
lished.

More Pathetic Than Humorous.

An aged couple living south of
Brazil Ind. who had devoted their three
score and ten to rural life and the
making of q farm, sold their possess
sions for the snug sum of sixteen thou
sand dollars. When the purchaser
called with notary to close up the
deal by taking the deed of title, the
husband having signed and passed it to
the wife, she positively refused to sign
without consideration, saying she had
spent her life in making the farm,
had never realized anything she could
call her own and now was her oppor-
tunity. The husband failed to satisfy
her and secure the signature. Then the
purchaser asked to know what she
would take md sign the decd, fearful
that she would be cxacting beyond his
inclination to comply. After q good
deal of hcsitancy she said she thought
she ought to have two dollars, which
he promptly handed her, and she
signed tho title. She turned over the
silver dollars time and time again,
laughing over her good luck. She said:
"Wcll, we'll, this is the first money
I have ever had in my life that could
call my own and spend it as may wish
to do to suit myself"
