In recent issue we called attention
to the fact that good dairy blood could
DE had at very reasonable figures and
cited a sale of Ohio Jersey cattle as an
example, says Stockman and Farmer.
Some of our Jersey friends thought the
prices given therein We're too low and
want to know if we have heard of other
sales. Yes, we have heard of them, but
they are not representative Of the aver
| age, but OF the exceptional, in Jersey
! SAFES. We did not cite them because Of
this and because they do not illustrate
! our point that good dairy blood in the
| form of yearling heifers and young
| COWS can be had at comparatively little
extra expense over grades. We say
| comparatively little-that is, compared
| with prices for beef bred cattle. Can
any one say that this is not true? Can
any one say why pure bred dairy cattle
should not have their inning some day
and sell as we'll as beef cattle have sold
| during the past three years, leaving out
| the extremes in both cases?
But as to the correctness of our ex-
ample. Leaving out the extremes, such
| as COoper's and Hoods sales. and also
| those in which the average was too low
| to be reported, and taking thirteen Of
| the average kind. we find that for $50
head the average price was $65.57
And this we believe to be even above
the average at which the kind of stock
we have described has sold. but no
matter, it is not much above the value
Of a good grade milk COW. We say
again that the present is a good time
for dairyman to invest, because it is
Il cheap time and the prospects for the
dairy industry are good. ~
Keep Up Your Herd.
Rather than to select heifer calves
from good COWS and raise them. many
farmers depend on buying COWS when
they need them to increase the herd or
replace those turned off, and for just
| this reason some farmers never have
more than two or three good dairy
COWS in the herd, says Y. NJ. Couch.
Then, again, a good many who raise
their own stock never take any pains
to secure the services of q good bull.
| It matters not the kind of bull used
so long as they get the COW with calf.
Either buy and have a good bull Of
your own or else secure the services Of
| one somewhere.

A VALUABLE OPINION.

A professional opinion of a country expressed by a distinguished and prac- tical mining expert, based. as it must be, upon cold calculations totally di- yorced from the element ot boom, when aatteriug must be of great value. A favorable report upon a property or a district, by man of William Fitz- hugh's standing among mining inves- tors carries with it a large outlay of development money. His future de- bends upon the dividends Of his back CTS.
 His very good opinion Q, the lougiiv- ity Of Che Eloujike and the future greatness of the Panama and White river. is indeed valuable evidence to show a br.uiaa, future for the interior.

GOOD VALUE
New Years Gifts Should Be
 Carefully Chosen

A well chosen New Years gift even though not expensive, is better than a costly present that is unsuitable to the needs of the recipient. Eirmse's stock has been carefully chosen to suit his patronage and includes objects that are useful as well as ornamental, and though all of the best, vary in price to degree that will suit 5he pockets of an his customers. Clocks, watches, jew els, fine bric-a-brac, cut glass, art porcelain and a choice collection of In- dian curios and souvenirs of the coun- try, afford a stock from which all in- tending purchasers can thoroughly gratify themselves and be sure of pleas ing the friends to whom they intend making New Years presents. Every thing in the store is exactly what it pertains to be aud customers will re- ceiye the best of value for their money.

Suppose two bicycles of the rame build, one gea-ed to so inches and the other to GA inches, were started down an incline, with the riders having theiI feet on the foot rests which would travel the faster? A rest to prove this was re- gently made down a hill, and iU was found that both machines occupied the Same time The result seems to show that when the pedals are not used the wheels simply perform their ordinary revolutions without influence from gearing. When human power is ap- piled, however, the high geared ma chine would, of course-other thinga being equal-travel faster. Naturally the strain would be greater on the rider of the high gear.-Rambler
