We're made to cross the Jersey with the
Short horn and Ayrshire breeds, but
they were abandoned. and the progeny

the Jersey. Gradually the attention of
progressive dairying was attracted to this
breed of cows. and i'm 1893 the Royal
Jersey Agricultural society was estab-
lished for the purpose of improving the
island cattle. The society fixed high
standard which was to he worked up to.

In speaking of the case of the Jersey
COW on her native isle. Johannet tells us
that when the COW has dropped her calf.
there is sprinkled upon it a handful of
powdered salt. While the COW islicking
her calf. she is MIXED and she herself
drinks the first milking. The calf is
laid upon a bed of straw in "a warm, dry
place: after some hours. the COW is again
MIXED and this milk given t. the calf
The sixth day the keeping of cream for
butter begins. The milk is sivcn to the
calf twice every day: cooked h,nr and
sometimes piece; of bread are adl.l to
the milk. \ little salt and har are ad
ded occasionally. As the cows milk be
comes less. cooked cornmeal and bran
take its place.
The reputation OF the jersey crossed
the ocean 10 America and in 1880 several
American gentlemen Of wealth began to
make imp0rtations. In 1868. Geo. f.
Waring ard others Jersey brcctl";.; held
a meeting in Philadelphia. Pa. which
resulted in the organization of The
American Jersey cattle club. This club
now has membership of 3U. and its

no animal can be registered as imported
from Jersey without certificates of that
fact.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
in our public schools. No more import
ant subject is up for consideration by
the Missouri farmer than that of srcur-
ing the introduction of the teaching o!
the elementary principles Of agriculture
in public schools. Thoughtful writer's
recognize its importance. He was sensi-
tive of the difficulties TO be overcome in
order to successfully bring about radi-
cal change in methods of elementary
education. There is nearly a consensus
of opinion in favor of the proposition
that agriculture shall he taught in pub
lie schools Mr.. .ibbott's line of
argument is logical and convincing. At
present. he said. only one state in the
union has upon lis statute books laws
authorizing this To hr done and this
state Wa; Tennessee. Several other
states are agitaiing this question. and
Missouri. Minnesota and Wisconsin are
expected TO soon la be in line with Ten
nessee. He called attention To the fact
that Secretary Rippy. of the state board
called the attention Of our people Ia this
matter, and he believed he intended to
continue this demand, and believed il
would be presented TO the notice of the
coming legislature. He showed the foil,
of teaching tie political geography OF
isolated countries. while the scholar WAS
in ignorance of the useful things with
which they came in daily touch. He
thought the pupil should learn some

not produce more than 8 bushels of
wheat per acre. but through the fertiliz-

mated with potatoes and wheat, every

Plants absolutely require three kinds
of food. said Mr.. Terry. They must
have nitrogen. phosphoric acid and pot
ash. The great abundant source of
nitrogen is the atmosphere, but unfor-
tunately the corn wheat and most other
food grains and tubers have not the
power to absorb il. The clover can and
does absorb nitrogen from the air. and
stores this gas in the roots and stalks.
To obtain the other kinds of plant food
the clover extends its fibrous roots into
