aF-' ,'. PRICE OF DURHAM CATTLE. jl!FEH
 Many consider it sufficient proof of false estimate of the value of Durham Cattle that the price is ten times greater than the animals would bring as beefn market, or that their proceeds would amount 10 in the dairy. In deciding this point. it must be remembered that their value does not depend their qualities ir immediate use, but on tbeir means of increasing the breed. Two things should therefore be considered in determining their price-1s their products for beef and tie dairy-2d the time required for them to in- 10 ard general supply for the country.
 1st, to determine their value for immediate use, It is requisite that we know how much the proceeds ex- ceed the cost and keeping. Ono COW may produce but one half more milk than another, and yet be ten times more profitable. IT, for instance, the cost be fifteen dollars year in both instances and the pro- duce of one he sixteen and of the other twentyfour dollars, the clear profit of dollar. and of the other nine dollarssi This shows the great importance ofthose animals which will produce the largest qra- titles of milk and butter. When it is considered that Durham cattle for beef and the dairy taken together ore superior to any other breed, their value for real iise may in some degree be appreciated, <,
 9a Suppose that aheir ultimate price will fall to only twice the present value of our common cat1e, and that halfa century will be required for them to in- crease sufficiently 10 supply the whole country, it tie calculation will show the safety ofpayng ten,imes that amount for them for the purpose Of incre- sing their number. For when we remember the enor- increase from single cow in that period of time. tlwil be evident that the presen. price of such aninal. though is De thousand dollars will bear an exceedingly small ratio to the ultimate value of her progeny. -svsAsA -1.-l adI p y1E-ri- f' et u.T.g Fhis subject may perhaps Se, rendered clearer by suppOsing an analogous case Supp0as that varie- ty Of wheat may De obtained which will produce with the same culture five bushels more the acre than our common wheat or course. the farmer who sows hundFed acres would gain by the use of such seed from five hundred to thousand dollars annually at the present price. In buying the seed. therefore. two hundred busheIs leas, he could well afford to pay more than twice tho common price Of wheat-- Consequently in buying wheat GoF Shs exclusive pur. pose Ot growing for seed he could pay twenty times tho common price. Reasoning in this way. .il will be ssen that single pint GOF increasing ss ssed would at sss be cheap at thousand dOllam and until the country were generally supplied. the price miGhssaSs- ly hs put at many siues iss ultimate value. Anal cgcua reasoning will chow that the price Of DuEhen cattle no. icti,icus, but depends their real value
