What the Jersey Can DO.

Another worlds record has been
broken. The new queen of the dairy
is a beautiful Jersey COW named Sc
phie 10Th of Hood Farm, owned and
tested at Hood Farm, Lowell, Mass.
She is the champion Jersey for milk
end butter fat production of cows
between four and FIVE years of age.
During the twelve months ending
December 81, 1910, On a test au-
thenticated by the Massachusetts Ag-
rioultural College, under the rules of
the American Jersey Cattle Club,
Sophie 18th of Hood Farm save a.
373 lbs. 3 OF. milk, testing 1905
lis. II az. butter, CT ever half a
ton. An accurate account was kept
of her feed, and her milk sold at
loo per quart made a profit Of
$685..
The United safes Department Of
Agriculture's estimate in rolnd
numbers of the wealth produced
each year by the 22,00O,00O COWS in
the United States is $S00,000,000
or an average profit Of S3G.36 per
COW. If mere attention was paid to
feeding and breeding it should be
easy to increase the average profit
per cow to at least one-tenth of the
profit made by Sophie 18th of Hood
Farm which would bring the total
to $1,24O,OO0,OOo, an increase Of
S44O.001,lO0

Worthy Suggestion.

Whatever your faith may be-and
every man, even so-called infidels
have belief of some kind wish
to make one suggestion: Keep ii
sweet. Rest assured that if your
belief makes you grabbed and pug
nacious, or critical, or morose, then
it is bad. No matter what your
creed is 1t ought to bring forth the
one flower that makes any creed
worth while, and that is amiability.

Effect of Mind on Matter.

Heavy thoughts bring on physical
maladies; when the soul is oppressed
so is the body. When cares, heavy
cogitations, sorrows and passions
superabound they weaken the body,
which, without the soul is dead, or
like a horse without a driver. But
when the heart is at rest and quiet,
then it takes care of the body and
gives it what pertains thereunto.
Therefore we ought to abandon and
resist anxious thoughts by all pos
sible means.-Luther's Table Talk.

During the period of our detached
service at Smiths Bridge We made
a good many friends among the citi-
zehs, with whom we exchanged salt,
coffee, sugar and such other eatables
as we could spare for butter, eggs
and fruits, which was an arrange
ment mutually helpful The young
people were especially kind TO us.
for we had treated them with con-
sideratiCn. A certain young lady
whom will call Jane Brown be
cause that was not her name. was
a person of superior attachments
whose home was nearly two miles
from the Bridge and whose father
was a reputed guerrilla chief ain,
was said to have become a convert
to the cause of the Union At the
time CT our going to the Bridge she
was an acknowledged rebel and was
reported to be a spy of much ability
1t was said that the troops who had
preceded US at the Fridge had Just
then Joined the forces at Ccrinth
and were disposed to deal harshly
with the citizens of rebel sympa-
thies, in consequence of which they
succeeded in getting themselves
thoroughly disliked. 1t was said
that squad of those new corners
went to the guerrilla chieftain's
home and broke open the smoke
house. from which they tried to car
ry off some choice hams and should
ers, but Miss Jane was net 10 be
robbed without making a Spartan
defense of her property. While
her mother was bewailing their less
in loud lamentations, Miss Jane,
armed with an old fashioned mop
stick, charged the would be ham
stealers with great dash and spirit,
beating them over the head and
shoulders with such energy as to
cause them to make an inglorious
retreat. OF course she became very
popular after that, while the ham,
stealers never ceased to hear about
their repulse as long as they remain
ed in the vicinity. Over two years
in active service had taught us many
things, not the least of which was
that unnecessary harshness toward
our enemies should be avoided and
a spirit of Cancellation and kindness
exercised toward all non-combatants
whenever it could be done without
prejudice to our cause. Assuming
this attitude toward the non-combat-
ants around Smiths Bridge, made us
many friends, and no doubt saved us
some lives.
