SEIN RTT TR FARM NOTES. POINTS Or A Goop Cow.—Wu are salled on to give the points of a good sow and some suggestions which will 1d a novice In buying satisfactorily. A cow isin her prime when she is from 4 tc 6 years ol, and the best-pay- ing time to buy is just after the Licth of her second or thied call, YPromi- nence and fullness of milk veins, and velvety softness of skin are good indi rations, The milk velns should iun down on either tile toward the udder, be easily perceptible to the eye, or readily found by pressure of the hand, Their beie should not be hard, rough, or staring. Symmetry, fullness and softness of the udder, which should be well spread out projecting behind the lege, and also reaching well forward under the belly; it should feel soft and thin to the touch, and an absence of fleshiness and thickness. The number and conci ion of the teats should be natural; if one teat is lacking a fourth ess milk will be the result. A cow's idder is not, as some suppose, a barrel with four taps, but is divided into four lifferent compartments, called milk lands, each of which has its own tap ir teat. It is not only important that he full number of teats be present and n working order, but it is desirable shat they be well placed, not crowded ogether, but well apart, and at nearly qual distances apart; they should be -ather long and tapering. Another. smportant point is quietness and locility of disposition. These quali jes are indicated by large, mild and ylear eyes, and an air of contentment generally. A cow that is quiet and sontented feeds at easa, chews her cad with entire satisfaction, and will secrete animal, even if It has similar milking chara teristics, “ GRASSES AND FERTILIZERS, —*' Fer- tilizers should be redueed for their greatest solubility. by a rigid pulveriza- tion of the soil.

Buiter the cavities of a number of large clam shells, or, if pre erred, a number of ju- dividual vegetable dishes, ub in a thin layer of grated bread crumbs or cracker dust (the bread crumbs are to be preferred), then a layer of the chop- ped clams, a few small pieces of butter, a sprinkle of chopped parsley and dust of black pepper; then a layer of bread crumbs and another of clams, ete., and so on alternate until you havea the desi. red quantity, the last layer being bread crumbs, upon which lay two or three small pieces of butter, and pour in a small portion of rich cream or a little sherry, or a little of the strained liquor from the scalded clams, This liquor is, however, often very salty, therefore care must be exercised In the use of it. Set your scallops in a baking-pan and eook in a moderate oven for fifteen or twonty minutes, or uantll the tops are of a delicate yellow color.

Philadelphia, which Is not only valuable to the merchants and bankers of Pennsylvania, but to every man who has dealings with banks, The case was the State National Bunk of New Jersey against Abraliam Weil, and it was on a rule for judgement for want of a sufficient affidavit of defense, Judge Biddle says: “The check upon which suit was brought in this case was drawn on the 20th of May, 1885, by Doughton, Wilkins & Co,, and was made payable at the Shackamaxon Bank of Philadelphia, The check was not presented for payment to that bank until the 20th of May, afier it had sus- pended payment, It 1s contended by the defendant that, inasmuch as there were ample funds in that bank to his credit when it failed and that if the said check has been duly presented to said 20th of May, 1883, it would have been | paid, the loss was caused by Snrensén. | able delay in its presentation, and | therefore the drawer was not liable | upon it, The question, therefore, is whether the delay in its presentation | was unreasonable.

It is our soll and climate that has a remarkable effect upon the growth and development of the horse. Our pure air, clear water and rich cereals are the important factors in rearing a sound. healthy, spirited class of horses. Their feet are sound and their legs are as firm as steel, from climbing rugged hills. 1x feeding calves remember they are not the most brilllant animals in the world, and it is questionable if they ever know when they have enough any mors than a boy would in a green apple tree. For this and many other reasons it is well to keep a watch over them to ses that sach cne gets some of the food offered and not too much of it, A rune bred fowl of one of the egg- laying breeds, such as Langshahs, Houdan, ets., will lay from twenty-five to fifty eggs more in a year than the dunghill, Not only this, but they are much more profitable every way. Pure- bred birds of almost any breed Crea should never be churned fast until it has thickened some, as ic ls likely to become frothy, especially in cold weather, as there is more milk taken.off with the cream than in warm where open selling is prac. if one is in a hurry the best plan is to make haste by churning slow t fi Yoon bLubler is classified under ten heads, as follows: Butter with fodder flavoss stable taints, with smoky, musty oily butter, greasy butter: butter; bitter butter; butter, all of which, but not over the fire or the eggs will curdle.

Lut as against the party transferring the check to the holder, it | is sufficient, whatever the date of the | check, to present it or forward it for presentment on the day next after its transfer. The reason for this strict. Jess is said to be that a check, unlike a bill of exchange, is generally intended for immediate payment and for circu- lation and therefore it becomes the duty ol the holder to present it for payment as soon as he reasonably may, he keeps it at his own peril, Negotiability is pot of their essence, but at most merely an optional quality. The rule, there- fore, is weil established in the two greatest commercial cities of the world that a check on a bank, where all the parties are residents of the same city, must be presented on the day upon which it bears date or on the next day, and if not the risk of the soivency of the drawee is upon the payee. We think that rule should be applied to this case, there being no circumstances to except it from its operation, and that the delay in the presentation of the check was unreasonable. The defend. ant is not responsible for its non-pay- ment. The rule for judgement is dis. charged.” HOUSEKEEPERS who are bothered Ly having white marble stoops, halls or walks to keep clean can save time and labor by having them washed wilh a mop which ans been dipped in builing hot water and soda.
