2b the Editors Indiana Farmer:
It may be a matter of interest to some
of your readers to know that dairying is
carried on to some extent in oar State.
I have been engaged in that business for
the past three yeara, and wish to state a
few facts in connection with our business:
In that length of time I have mads over
4,000 pounds of butter, mostly from the
Jersey, half Jersey, and native cows. I
find that there is something about the
Jersey milk that cannot 1)3 excelled.
Their butter is always firm, sweet, and
very yellow; and, to attain such results
without Jersey blood, is simply impos-
gible.
Hence, I have been able to make butter that would command a better price
than any other in the market, from the
fact that I have a material upon which to
work that far excels that of my neighbors. I have experimented with' them,
and I find that the Jerseys excel, yielding
on an average from 7 to 12 pounds a
week. They, as a general thing, are small
milkers, but give exceedingly rich milk,
and I stand ready to resent the charge
that their skimmed milk is poor and
thin. Oa the contrary, we find it nice
for table use and all culinary purposes,
In corroboration of my statements in regard to superior butter making qualities,
I send herewith a sample of butter made
from one of our Jersey cows, that you
may judge of the merits of this truly
noble little animal.
I may, at eome future time, submit the
modus operandi for making such butter.
Mrs. T. I. Johnsok.
"rcraa.cat'ale, Iud.
"ovomvauyius i^e letter of Airs. Jo tin-
son, we received a paper box containing
three neatly stamped pound rolls of as
firm, sweet, yellow butter as we have ever
seen offered for sale in the markets of
Indianapolis.
The Jerseys for their size, cannot be excelled for butter making, and Mrs. J.
certainly knows how to use their rich
cream to the best advantage. As we
have before mentioned, this lady usually
takes the first premium on butter at our
State Fairs.

Galloway Cattle.
For a period of thirty years, more or
less, horses have been under my control.
I personally superintended the feeding.
During that time no horses have died, and
I have had little sickness. A straw-cutter,
with rawhide roller,has been in continual
use till tho present time. In the cutting
of the food far two teams, enough is saved
in one year to pay for its purchass. While
the horses are eating their dinner, enough
can be cut for the next meal; then watered, to moisten it and destroy the dust, and
with it four quarts of meal is ample top,
each horse. The meal is one-third cemj
one-third oats, and tbe other shorts. A'
variety is made by giving a few small pal
tatoes or carrots weekly. The benefit!
resulting from this manner of feeding, ara
that we have no sick horses, they beinj
always in good health and order; there i
no danger of founder from hired mei
feeding when too warm; they can eat i;
sooner, and are ready to go out; ueithe :
is anything wasted (by throwing from th
manger, etc.,) and it does them   mor . I
good, I believe, as no -whole grain is passed
or lost. Being out of meal for a few dayr'
a number ot feeds were given them r
small ears of corn, with plenty of cut ha;
moistened.   Two had to be taken to th
city immediately for treatment of colii
The following rule for estimating, approximately at least, the weight of live
cattle bj measurement is given by the
Lice-Stock Journal:
There are several methods in use for
ascertaining the weight by measurement
of the body, and when the measurement
is correctly taken .the result ia generally
pretty accurate. The method is to measure with a tape-line from the top of the
shoulder to the root of the tail, which
gives the length; then measure around
the body immediately behind the fore
legs, which gives the girth; and, on consulting a table, calculated by the corresponding figures of the length and girth,
the product will give the net weight.
j Several rule? exist. For example, suppose
an ox is 5 feet in length and 7 feet in
girth. Multiply the square of the girth
in inches by the length in inches and divide the sum by 7,2*38; and the quotient,
multipliad by 14, is the weight in pounds.
Ia using the tape it should ba kept
stretched in-taking the length and girth.
'Accurate results would certainly be obtained were the animal always peifect in
form, which it seldom is, the fore and
hind quarters being frequently unequal

Congress has, through the passage of
the Grover resolutions for general investigation, undertaken a gigantic work,
and, if it can be carried through in a
proper unpartizm spirit, it will result in
great improvement in the military, naval
snd civil services. That their efforts will be
seconded by the President and a majority
ofthe cabinet, is conceded, and altogether
the outlook is hopeful for cleansing the
metaphorical ship of some of the scaliest
barnacles, and m03t dastructive toredos,
that ever interfered with safe navigation.
The branch of the public service with
which the average voter is least acquainted is that of the Navy. Its operations

At a meeting of the Galloway Cattle
Society, held in Dumfrieshire, Scotland,
October 25th, the Dake of Buccleuch
presided, and said he regretted to see an
inclination to allow the breed of Galloways to full off. Farmere seemed inclined
to let cheese displace beef.   His Grace
counseled them to strive after breeding
only animals of pure blood, and So maintain the perfection which the breed has
already attained.   He had been too long
a breeder of different classes of stock not
to know that it was of great importance
to infuse fresh blood into the breed occasionally.   It was very difficult to get a
good Btrain of blood, whether in cattle,
sheep, horses or dogs; and when they had
got it, it was difficult to keep it pure. He
was equally satisfied that when one had
the misfortune to get into a bad strain of
blood, it was just as difficult to breed out
of it   He thought they would do the
country and themselves a great deal of
good by extending the breed of Galloways, and introducing into it a cross from
some celebrated herd, if they could get
it.   He was commencing a small experiment of his own in the breeding of cattle,
but he did not expect to live to see the
results, as he knew it required some six
or seven descents before they could tell
whether the cross would be a good or bad
one. He had tried an experiment of breeding from an Angus cow and a Galloway
bull, but he gave it up, as he found his
object, which was to obtain bulk, was
defeated, while he also lost the fineness
of quality.   However, he thought that
was no reason why he should not make
the attempt in another direction.   Tbey
knew perfectly well that the Galloways
were not originally polled cattle, but they
became so; and following oh the principle
of Darwin, they might manage to breed
animals into anything they liked J la
conclusion his Grace counseled then, to
have   good   animals to enter in'Cieir
herd book.—North British AgrigPuriil.

citizen knows nothing. Hence it is easy
for those who love the navy better than
their country (a powerful class has been
educated to love their navy more and
their country less) to impose upon the
untechnical representatives of the people,
and make believe that our ponderous,
extravagant and practically useless naval
establishment is just as it should be.
Naval officers have less sympathy with
our form of government and all that is
peculiar to our land and institutions
than any other class of citizeni. This is,
perhaps, no reproach to them, as cosmopolitan gentlemen, and travelled scholars,
for they have had rare opportunities for
reservation -nnd comparison. But *hey
iove V_o navy, it is theu.' homu ana country, and the stars and stripes that float at
the mast head are to them not typical of
a federation of states striving in painful,
doubtful throes toward a purer civi'izv
tion,awiser,juster policy; but of an alma
mater, they call her "Uncle Sam," that
educated and epauletted them and made
an oligarchy of elegant pensioned gentlemen. No doubt these gilt-edged officers
have fought and will fight for their country, but no better than the enlisted man
who swings his hammock in the hold.
It is  necessary  only to look at the
figures for proof of the expensive top
heaviness of the navy.   17,600,000 were
required to pay the officers and enlisted
men for the present year.   Of this sum,
$3,500,000 are paid to 7500 ealisted men,
(common  sailors)   and over $4,000,000
to the officers.   Is there any other corporation that pays its overseers more than
all its employes ?   From the last naval
register it may be seen that about thirty
ships are in what is called active sea service, that is, sailing from port to port,
firing salutes, exchanging courtesies, enjoying hospitalities, etc., in   European,
Asiatic, South Atlantic, and South Pacific
waters.   This does not include receiving
ships, unseaworthy hulks that are used
as boarding houses for enlisted men, and
to furnish jp creased pay, perquisites and
shore dus\ lo a few officers; each ship
entailing ex^   jse sufficient to run a large
hotel.   Besides the admirals mentioned
above, the last register exhibits a list of
25 commodores, 50  captains, 90 commanders, 81 lieut. commanders, 280 lieutenants, 100 masters, 71 ensigns, 77 midshipmen, 175 officers of the   medical

engineers, 24 chaplains, 12 professore of j

the retired list, drawing three quarters of

Skin cleanliness has a great effect on
the assimilation of food. It has been
proved that pigs that are washed put on
a fifth more flesh than pigs that are unwashed. In many well-ordered, first-class'

Where the Wealth op the Country
Goes.—No street in the world (except
possibly in London) represents in the
Bhort space of two miles and a half, anything like the enormous aggregate of
wealth represented by Fifth avenue
residents between Washington Square '
and Central Park. We give haphaz.vrd
a few names :
Mr. Rhinelander, $3 000,000; Marshall
O. Roberts, $5,000,000; Moses Taylor,
$5,00*),000; August Belmont, $8,000,000;
Robert L. and A. Stewart, $5,000,000;
Mrs. Paran Stevens, $2,000,000; Amos R.
Euo, $5,000,000; John Jacob and William
Aitor, $60,000,000; Mrs. A. T. Stewart,
$-50,000,000; Pierre Loriliard, $3,000,000;
James Kernochan, $2 030,000; William
H. Vanderbilt, $75,000,000; Mrs. Calvert
Jones, $2,030,000; Mrs. Mary Jones,
$2000,000; Mr. James Garden Bennett,
$4,000 000; Mr. Fred. Stevens, $10 000,000;
Mr. Louis Loriliard, $1,000,000; total,
$248,000,000.
Here we have some eighteen families
living near each other, who derive fixed
yearly incomes from a capital of between
$240,000,000 and $250,000,000, the greater
part of which capital, with the exception
of the Vanderbilt fortune, is invested in
New York City real estate.
If this immense sum was divided out
among the poor of the great city, it
would make them all comfortable for the
winter.
