THE JERSEY cows GREAT BUTTER
RECORD.

Probably the blood OF the Jersey "a
more generally dnused and more highly
priced in the butter producing districts Of
the United States, as well as among FAM
lily cows in the country at large. than
that of any other breed. says Farming for
Marcn.
Many of our shrewdest dairy farmers
have selected Jerseys best adapted to
their special purposes, not only on ac-
count of tho persistent milk flow which
they maintain. but because OF their uni.
formity of reproduction, and their abil,
ity to furnish under the proper care.
large flow of rich milk that tops the mar
ket and captures the fancy trade
The Jersey COW is small animal. and
therefore her maintenance ration is small,
while relatively large part OF her food
goes to profit
She is a persistent mixer. often a
perpetual mixer. and ordinarily not dry
more than six or eight weeks in year.
She has an extremely long period of
usefulness in the dairy. Five years
covers the profitable work Of the average
COW. The Jersey is generally vigorous
and al work when twelve to nfteen years
old Many are profitable when eighteen
to twenty-ole years OF age,
She gives the richest nll,.., as nearly
hree thousand standard tests have proved
The recent demonstration at the ST.
Louis exposition is a notable illustration
OF this superiority.
Almost all this butter-fat can be re.
covered in butter or cheese. The practical
value OF this advantage is most appreci.
ated by the dairy farmer.
This larger yield OF butter and cheese
is of the highest grade OF commercial
excellence. 1t tops the market.
These traits OF superiority are so Arm.
ly fixed in her breeding that IL fairly
mated she can be relied upon to Transmits
them to her descendants.

s. G. CREE OF WHEELOCK INVENT
ED FIRST PHONOGRAPH. y
Were it not for the fact that Thomas A.
Edison, the inventor of the monograph,
had made such a remarkable progress in
his talking machines 80 years ago, he
would have had TO battle for supremacy
with stephen q. Cree. the veteran town
possession the first model he made with
in a year Of that time. That he did not
put his machine before the public and ap-
ply for patent was because of his dis
enlargement when he saw Edison's re-
markablc success. Town Clerk Cree has
the same old machine he first made, and
finds as much pleasure with it as he does
with one OF Edison's most modern phono-
graphs which he purchased recently. That
Mr.. Cree's talking machine is as old as
he claims is evidenced by the tact that
there are scores of men in the little town
of Wheelock to-day who can place the
time they first saw and heard the wonder
full machine by the class they were in
at the district school when the owner
gave them an exhibition which made their
eyes stick out in amazement. No one at
the school. whether teacher or scholar,
could conceive how it was that the ma
chine could record conversation and then
reproduce it, The principle is about the
same az Edis0n's FIRST and crude phono-
graph, but the machine recorded talk on
tin foil instead Of on a composition wax
cylinder. The tin foil could be used only
once. 1t recorded and then reproduced
what was said through the trfnsmitter.
That was Crees great disadvantage, and
for every exhibition n new piece of tin
foil was necessary The machine has a

thirty minutes later, having double
header engines.
Superintendent Funder came down
from the Smith anthracite mine TO-
day and reports slide two miles in
length lying over the track between
here and the mine, and the long bridge
crossing Slate river under twenty feet
of solid snow.
A large amount of timber was car
rieu down the mountain and lies bur
led with the snow across the track.
This will have to be cut out with axe
and saw when reached by the rotary
1t will not be known whether the
bridges are broken and carried away
until the rotary crew reaches them. IL
will be several days before the road
can be opened to the mine.
The entire Pueblo hard coal mine
buildings are demolished. with por-
ton of the trestle-work of the tram
way. 1t will be impossible to resume
operations here until the snow is gone
and repairs made. The soft coal mine
