The ColotRed .Annual Increase. enc.
mics Of Colonization to Africa, have dwelt
much on the inability Of the Colonization So
ciety to convey even the yearly increase Of
the coloured population to Africa; and have
triumphantly concluded, that if it is unable
to do SO much, still far mere would it be un-
able to convey the whole. They forget that
they are calculating, not on money, but on
human beings. Now. we will DEMONSTRATE,
that the conveyance ofths present annual IN

born in any single year, say Of the age Of
twenty, be removed to Africa, and in each
succeeding year, let all of that age be re-
moved in the same manner. Then, admit.
ting, what IS far too much to admit, that q
generation lasts fifty years, ON an average,
the generation on the stage when the process
commenced, would have become extinct at
the end of thirty years, and all their increase
or offspring would have been to Africa.
Thirty years would, even this way, clear
them entirely from this country. But thera
are two circumstances which would, in fact,
make the time much shorter.
Lit is known that q generation lasts but a
little more than thirty years. The genera
ron, then. on the stage at the commence.
ment OF the process, would virtually be ex-
tinct IN little more than ten years. 2. By
the removal Of the most prolific part, the en-

arithnetical ratio, so that it would be reduc-
ed to nothing before the arrival Of the thir-
tieth year. @ e. ID.

almost assumed new garb, and should

Account ot an exPerlnet instituted for the purpose of testing the Value of the native breed of Cattle, for giving Alilk--by .drator
 yH1. Editor.-My iondness for good milk and butter, and q desire to know what improvement might be made or degenerated cows, by pro- per course ot treatment, induced me, the last winter, to all experiment with eight COWS; an account Of ssilieia ssill now give you in the hope that some Of your readers may ne stimu- lated to improve on it, and that it may in some degree be useful.
 lefeeted q house for the exclusive use fthese cows, and partitioned off eight stalls in it four on each side and between the ranges of stalls sink was made as receptacle for the dung and urine. 4 trough was placed to each range of stalls, to hold the foot. My COWS with the ex- eeption of one of them, (which is of the shori born beef biood,) are Of degenerated stock, occasioped by that sort of neglect which has long been common in this part of the country; they were poor at the time they were put up, and the whole of them at the time did not give quarts of milk at q milking. Their food, for some weeks after they were put was compos- cd ot q mixture of cut sugar cane blades oat straw and shucks, cotton seed. ard wheat bran all boiled together, with little salt added to the mixture. Afier the stock of bran was e1- hausted, the other aggredients were continued with an addition of pot ale, from whiskey dis. tillery, boiling the food was discontinued at this time. From period oi three weeks after the cowswas putup, til recently, the whole Them together gave generally the rise of forty-eigbt quarts of milk each day and twelve quarts per day was frequently taken from a choice one of them. How much butter yielded, is not known, but my good wife tells me that considerable ;id- diton has been made to her pin money stock by the sale off butter to our neighbors, several of whom have been supplied by her.
 The curry comb was used morning and eve hing on the cows, and the dung and wet litter removed from under them into receptacle eve " morning and q new bed of dry leaves from the woods, placed under them.
 For the trouble have had with this small experiment, and the food consumed in it, have had ample compensation, not only from the but ter, as already stated, but also from the quantity of milk it enabled me to give my negroes, and from large quantity ef manurefor the improve ment of my land.
