Butter Fat from JERSEY Cows.

There is a general disposition among
many Garrett county farmers to improve
in the character of cattle and to
purchase and maintain Jersey cows, to
the exclusion of other grades. When
Mrs. G. w. Haulenbeek of Uplands
Farm, Deer Park, sent her usual supply
of cream to the Oakland creamery she
was informed that the cream she had
submitted from her Jersey cows showed
80 per cent. of butter fat. This high
grade of cream is steadily maintained
by the feeding of the cows morning and
night throughout the year. Notwith-
standing the liberal amount of pasture
afforded, cows should be fed at milking
times, and this insures milk that will
yield high percentage of butter fat.

TO EVANSVILLE.
By SARA ROBERTA GETTY.

Dear little town so quiet, fair and still;
No Changing bells here discords ever strike;
No clamorOus mobs our hearts with terror fill;
Just quiet peace, dear old town on the pike
We have our 1abors, yet we do not shirk,
For free, untramelled and content;
Here Nature shows God noble handwork;
In every task some hidden beauties Turk:
We feast our eyes and count the days well spent
Well spent, because from every hill and dell
Through fields and lanes of budding green or snow.
Is borne to us the message, All is well,
The whispering night-winds do the story tell
OF that sweet peace that country people know.
Dear little town, we love your quiet ways;
TO others all your years may seem alike;
But tell of peace that that fills our days
OF rest from tumult, din and strife always
While here with you, dear old town on the pike
