English Stocn.- All the improved
breeds have been made from cattle not
originally superior 10 our own. Ii is
about fifty years since much attention
began to he paid to the subject in Eng>
land. Mr.. Blackwell is mentioned as
the first who made IA systematic business
of it. His object was to raise a breed
of cattle that would come to maturity
earlier; would fatten easily, and would
have most flesh on the most valuable
parts. To effect this object he selected
the best animals he could find. He
then observed what were their defects;
what respect their shapes were not per-
feet; and wherein they had a tendency
to take flesh on parts of inferior value.
lie then procured others which ex-
celled in those parti, ular points in which
the first were deficient, and by mixing
them he obtained descendants that par
took of the excellencies Of both. By
following the same course through
sufficient number of generations, he OBJ
tanned breed far superior to any that
existed before.
In the same manner, from the COM
mon English sheep, he raised the SUPERB
or breed called the Dishley sheep, of
which it is said their wool is fine and
long, and weighs when they are killed
at two years old. eight pounds.per fleece
on an average, and that they fat,en
kindly and early on ordinary pastures.
Since BIackwell's time many other per-
sons have followed the course pointed
out by him, and several new breads have
been raised. o. these the Durham
Short Horns are generally considered
the best. The estimation in which they
are held in England will appear from
the account Of some sales made in 1910
Seventeen cows were sold for f28O2, or
more than $3.50 = piece. One COW, 8
years old, was sold for Sl868, one bull
for 1000 guineas, or $4670.

100 REWARD.

an Tuesday morning, between Fredericks-
W burg and my plantation, in the upper end
of Stafford, a NEGRO MAN, and the MARE
on which he was riding, both belonging to me,
were stolen by a man who seems to have been
a stranger in this part of the country. When
seen in possession Of the Slave and ofthe Mare,
he was inquiring his way to Stafford Court
House. He is described to me as a person be-
tween fifty and sixty years of age, with re-
markedly white hair; his stature stout and well
set. He wore a brOWnish colored stuff cloak.
The negro is between twenty-five and thirty
years of ICE as well as is remembered; stout in
bis person, and about five feet ten or eleven in
ches high; has a drawing manner of talking,
and appears to be much less sagacious than he
really is. His name is Jack. His dress was a
blue cloth cap, a grey great coat, and his under
clothing drab cloth.
The Mare is a fine large s%orrel, without any
spot of white about her, unless perhaps there
may be some few white hairs in the centre Of
the forehead, not covering more than the size of
a four-pence-halfpenny. She is, as well as is
recOllected, going on seven years Ofage; is re-
markedly long in her body; has a long tail, and
it is remarkable where it joins the rump. There
may be discerned in the film ofone Of her eyes
an incision which was made a year or two ago
to cure the hooks.
One Hundred Dollars Reward will be given for
therecovery of the above Slave and Mare, Or in
the proportion offour and two for the recovery OF
either. JNO. TAYLOE LOMAA.
