Extract ot a letter j2rGm kohdHras, dated
September .Jth, 1906.
About three months ago, severe gales
of wind, materially injured most of the
Provision Grounds, anc induced the Ma
gistrates and People at public Meeting to
address H M. Superintendent FOR the open-
ing of the port, 10 the American vessels.
They were answered thai their application
should be directly forwarded (by the man
of war then sailing) 10 the Governor of ia.
maica, with Colonel Gordon's concurrlng
the opinion Of the propriety OF the mea-
sure; but as the ship was TO cruize some
time, no answer has arrived On the 28ih
of last month, hurricane, eHectuslly
complicated an almost total loss of all and
every species of Bread kind; the Magis-
trases in warm and spirited address again
solicited an Immediate intercourse with A.
merica; pointed out the real distress of
the settlement and such an exhausted state
OF the stores, that not one barrel OF -four
was 10 be purchased at Belize. 1he
Colonel in return Acknowledged and Ia.
mented the state of the settle ment,
promised every allevatiou in his power,
and assured the Magistrates of his not
entertaining the least doubt of a full aad
speedy compliance with their requlsnions,
not only from the urgency of ibe. case but
also from his representations and jealous
Recommendations bur though a refusal is
no,in the least unprecedented, YET the delay
may most seriously AFFECT the settlements
at any raie we look for spectators, as the
neutral vessels may now take of what guam
thy of logwood they please, and there IS
every reason to believe. that the restrictions
hitherto prevailing with resPrrt to the size
of mahogany, will be removed"

DAIRY COWS.

/" 1t is much to be regretted, that
the real value Of good Dairy Cow,
is not more generally known. | am
ahured by mott respectable country
gentleman Walter TreveIyan, Elq.
of Neither Witten, in Northumberland
that a we'll bred Teelwater Cow, will
give, on an average, IA quarts at each
oftwo mikings, or % quarts pei day.
Some of the Teeiwater breed, accord
ing to CuIley, give even to the amount
of 36 quartsper day. But calculating
at 20 quarts, this, at I'D. per quart,
amounts, to es. I'D. per day, and in lax
months, to "a pounds"
Opening or offending the MIX rsDeIs

" In The northern counties, they
with their Cows to calve when the gratis
is abundant. This, it is fuppoled, O.
pens their milk vehels, and is a great
means of rendering them ever after
good nilchers which is not the cafe
unlefs nature is early made to have
tendency to that fpecies of fecretion.
1t ha been found good plan, to give
the whole Of the milk young Cow
Yields, to the Calf, which lhe readily
does, and thus gets into good habit
of milking"
On the advantages Of focklHg a Pafure
Nth different kinds Of animals.
s. 1t is obierved, that animals, Of
different kinds, affect the rank grais
which we call tcth, that grows where
the dung ofanother kind has dropped !;
but avoid that which grows among the
dung of their own kind. Belldes dit
ferent kinds of animals prefer differ
ent kinds Of plants. BY this mixture
Of flock, the palture will certainly be
eaten to greatef advantage"
