"Quantity of production and persist. ency of milking during long periods are well known characteristics of this 'breed. Dropping her first calf at about two years old, an average cow of this breed, if well cared for, will produce _ from 5,000 to 6,000 pounds of milk in ten wouths, and she will increase this production each and every year until at five years old she will give from 7,000 to 9.000 pounds, The quality of this wilk will range from 3 to 4 per eent fat and from O to 10 per cent sol- ids not fat .

A number of persons interested them- selves in it in order to learn the amount of her production beyond a doubt, among which were leading men connected with dairy pudlicarions. At different pericds, including cue during the last week of her record, she was apder the oflicial care of the superin- @ndent of the Holstein advanced rege istry.

Sowing Vegetable Seeds. If the soil bas been properly water- ed after the sowing of vegetable seeds little attention io this direction will be needed before the proper time for transplanting. This will depend large- ly upon the character of the weather In ULright, sunny weather, when free ventilation Is required, the flats may need an application of water almost dally. Excessive watering, however, should be guarded against, as it tends to produce tender, spindling plants. How to Measure an Acre.

Peterboro Man Holds Sacret of Preci- ous Jewel Mines. 'he Peterboro Examiner says: That there are diamond mines in Ontario has been stated, but the fact is known only by one-man, and that man is O. 8. Ferguson, who has for the "past five years conducted a tin shop on Hunter street. To have something in the neighborhood of five hundred real, sparkling diamonds in his possession is the good fortune of Mr. Ferguson, and an Examiner repre- sentative the other day was shown several of these precious stones. They are are at present mostly in their raw state, only two having been finished, and are ready to be set in a piece of jewelry. They shine very brilliantly and are fine samples of this precious stone. The unfinished ones are just as they were found, some being very small, while a number of them are ag large as a quarter of an inch in diameter. That they are diamonds, Mr. Ferguson has satisfied himself. Careful tests and examinations of them have been made by Tiffany of New York, and other prominent dia- mond dealers in the United States and 'in Toronto, and Mr. Ferguson has been assured that thew are dia- dhonds, and worth considerable money. Where the precious stones were lo- cated, the discoverer of them alone knows. He refuses to give any 'clue as to their locafion, but says that they were found some place in On- tario sixteen years ago. Mr. Fergu- son was at one time i i ing, but it was not whieh he mined.
