True, It is difficult to get it at Just the right stage to avoid the “pucker.” but well ripened and frosted fruit most persons would surely consider delicious and worth a little trouble to produce. Possibly It Is because the ripe fruit is difficult to handle. What is known as the Japa nese persimmon Is more encouraging to grow than our native ones in respect to the size of the fruit, being fully twice as large. P»ut it will not thrive farther north than Philadelphia, and even there it Is uncertain. The flavor is n little less sweet, hut with less “pucker.” Of late attention lias been given to the improvement of our na tive persimmon, mid it has been at tended by more or less success. Some are almost or entirely seedless, and ah sence of most of the picketing is no ticenble. One proposing variety has been named Gold drop, for which are claimed earliness coming into bearing extreme hardiness, unusually large and good shape, tine yellow color, flesh melting and with but little pucker when ripe. The American persimmon makes a handsome tree, ornamentally considered* It has dark green leaves that remain ou late In the fall.

On tbe farm to the.m an of little money nnd many children the Short horn is a bonanza, supplying milk and blitter nnd a good, salable calf at weaning time. The farm ia one of her greatest strongholds. Here she stands without a rival. The Jersey, Ayrshire and Holstein are great milk and but ter cows, but their calves are not to he considered when seeking cattle for the feed lot. It is not necessary to mention the other b<bf breeds as the farmer’s or poor man’s cow, for none of them gives milk enough to decently raise a calf. A milk pall or churn is almost useless wherever they are bred. A s s ir e s and mothers, a s rangers and feeders, as money makers on the block, on the grill, the Shorthorn comes near er perfection than any other breed of beef producing cattle. These are not mere assertions, hut are backed up by long years of recorded tests, notably the American fat stock show at Chica go, where tlie records of seventEH»n years show the prize for the champion beef steer was won onpe by a pure bred Angus, twice by pure bred Hero- fords. twice l)3r crossbred Hereford- Shorthorus, four times by pure bred Shorthorns and eight times by grade Shorthorns.—^ . T. Groom in American Cultivator. t i l i n g a Y o d iik n u l l . A correspondent writes to Breeder’s Gazette: “I have purchased a Shorthorn bull that will be a year old this month. When should he be permitted to serve cows and how many'/” # To which J. E. Robbins replies: “Your correspondent might begin using bis bull by the time he is a year old and let him serve two cows a week until he is eighteen months old. pro vided he will only allow him to serve a cow once during a period of heat. Up to eighteen months we think it best never to allow more than one service a day. We sometimes allow a young hull to serve one cow n day for three days In succession If he has boon idle for several days before, and then wo do not let him serve any for a few days afterward.” T u h c rc u lo a l« — *»y 1 — I We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Hap There has been considerable talk of W o o l C lip 1« L lffh t .

One lot was given no salt, one had half an ounce per day. and the third had three-fourths of an ounce per day. Those having the half ounce per day made a gain of four and a half pounds over those having no salt and nearly as much over those having three- fourths of an ounce. Those having salt made 13.4 pounds more wool than those having no salt. There were twelve sheep In each lot. Rnm .
