Gated on expensive land and near a big
city the dairy cows are usually Jer-
seys. They are not the heaviest milk
ers, but they are undoubtedly very
economical producers of butter fat.
The Jersey is extremely gentle and is
about the ideal of the family COW. Her
milk is rich, high colored creams very
readily, and the COW is small. usually
averaging around 500 pounds in
weight.
The Jersey is one of the channel
breeds and takes her name from the
Jersey Islands on the other side of the
Atlantic. The Guernsey is the other
well known dairy animal of the chan
mel breeds. A little bigger than the
Jersey, the Guernsey gives more milk

How lono Your Nails Grow.

The growth Of an average finger nail
is about one thirty-second of an inch
week. or nearly one and one-half inches
in a year, so those aristocratic Chinese
who proudly exhibit nails six to eight
inches in length must have RETAINED
from cutting them at least four to six
years. Finger nails grow faster in the
summer than in winter. The nail on
the middle finger grows faster than
any of the others. and that of the
thumb is slowest in growth. The nails
Of the right hand grow faster than
those of the left. A nail Is supposed
to reach its full growth in about four
and a half months. and at this rate
man SCI enty years old would have re-
newed his nails 262 times. On each
finger he would have grown nine feet

The Hollow In a Boiled Egg.

There is an air space in every egg,
but we notice it particularly in a boil
ed one because the contents have been
made solid by cooking and made the
hollow space more apparent. This
space is a provision Of nature so that
the chick which grows within the shell
may have air to breathe from the
time it comes to life until it becomes
strong enough to break through the
shell to the outside world.
To generate life in the egg it is nee
essary that it be subjected to a certain
degree of heat for a period of twenty
one days. When this is not done the
egg remains indefinitely in its raw
state.
When it is boiled the pocket of ait
within the shell, which would have
been used up by the chick If the egg
had been set to hatch. begins to fight
for its space and pushes the boiled
contents of the egg back, leaving the
hollow space.-Rocky Mountain News,
