PRESERVE YOUR BEST ANIMALS
FOR BREEDING.

The complaint is general, at least
throughout the eastern states, that the
stock of neat cattle has been grea'y dimn-
ished within few years, and that prices
have consequently advanced to an UMPIRE
ceden,ed pitch. And it is believed to be
general fault among farmers, that they
sell their best young animals to the butch
ers. The season has arrived when it be
comes the farmer to improve his practice
in matters. He should preserve his best
animals for breeding; raise more stock, If
his farm will permit, and substitute in
proved breeds, or at all events cross upon
them
lie should preserved his best individuals
for 5read.ng. For a dollar or Two extra
the farmer sells his best calfo the butcher;
which, if kept as n breeder, would not
only serve to improve his whole stock, but
the individual thus sacrificed for dollar or
two, would in many cases, be worth, at
the working or milking age, and with no
extra expense Of keep, ten, twenty, or fifty
dollars more, than the poor calf rejected
bv the butcher, and which consequently
serves as breeder upon the farm, still
further depreciale the character of the farm
stock. The farmer WHO breeds from poor
or inferior animals, in a manner throws
away capital. He who breeds only from
select ANIMALS gets common interest. And
he who breeds from select animals, of the
choice breeds, gets compound INTEREST,"
Choice working oxen, OF four or five years
old, of common stock, or with the Devon
cross, have recently been sold for one hun
dred to one hundred and fifty dollars the
pair. This surely affords handsome re.
muneratIon to tho breeder. There Is
generally difference Of about one'ha't
in cows and oxen, between select and IN
ierlor individuals of the common breeds.
lie should raise more stock. Many of our
farmers have been penny wise and pound
foolish" in destroying calves at their birth
in order to turn few gallons Of milk into
ready money, thus retarding the increase,
and enhancing the value of DAIRY stock
Cattle are the source Of fertility to the
arm--dung makes fat crops, and fat crops
make fat cattle. In districts remote from
market, where land is cheap, the rearing
of neat cattle should certainly be protira-
BILE business. 1t is so upon well managed
farms, in the contguity of markets, where
lands are high. 1t may be made s'ill more
so at remote points, where lands are COM
parallvely low, particularly if selec, breeds,
or select individuals, are employed as breed
ers. But,
lie should select breeds best adapted TO his
farm; and we refer the report upon neat
cattle in our extra sheet, for advice, as to
the breed which is best adapted to his farm.
Having determined upon this, let him stick
to it; preserve his finest animals to propa-
gate from: make it his business to improve,
and he will soon find, that instead of ten
and twelve dollars, his yearllngs and two
year olds will bring him twenty, fifty, and
even a hundred and fifty dollars each-nay,
the last summer has demonstrated, that
choice animals, Of improved breeds, will
bring I 500 to 2,l00 dollars sometimes.--

of lime, and to render all wet ground suit
hclently dry by under draining. For this,
capital is necessary; and hence a farmer
must not only have land to cultivate, but
he must have means beside in sufficient
best advantage. IL he cannot get these
means otherwise, he ought Immediately to
sell part of his land and devote the avais
to improving the remainder.
it is true hat farmers have made money
by close cropping with wheat; but there
is no doubt tina, if instead of this, they had
pursued a proper course Of rotation, they
might have done as well at the time, and
instead Of exhausting their land, been con.
stanly rendering 1t more productive. A
proof Of this is afforded by an experiment
made several years ago. One portion of
land was cropped every second year; on
another portion longer time interviewed
between the crops Of wheat, by a judlclous
system of rotation; and although wheat
was the main crop, pet the increased tertll-
ity which this force caused, and the con-
sequent increase both IN the wheat and
| int rvening crops, rendered the latter
course ultimately the most profitable, with
the additional advantage of leaving the
ground in the best condition.
Corn, wheat oats, barley &c being all
similar in their effects in cXhausting land,
it becomes necessary to introduce the cul-
ture of some other crops more generally
than exists at present in order to form a
proper rotation. Peas and beans are both
excellent for preceding any of the grain
~ .a1
China bean, cultivated in hills or drills,
would doubtless be as profitable as wheat
or corn.
The culture of root crops is a most pow.
erful mode OF enriching land, A crop of
corn the last summer was twice as produce
tive after rua bagos, as after corn, fertility
and manurlDg being the same in both ca
