CAMELs ON THE WESTERN Pr ,IdEs -
A writer in the Genesee Fartne - ma
live of Rnssis, who has passed many years
of hslli in thai phrtiona Of the empire
bordering on the Ural and Vplga rivers
suggests that the camel would prove a
most valuable animal for burlhen in those
praires; and especially for traversing The
country in the far west, where water is
sometimes not found foI days. He SAYS
that camels in an unsettled country, would
be found good to carry mails, aud convey
intelligence. Their speed is sreat-l20
miles being common days travel for
speedy animals; aud that the breeding Of
camels would not be moIe expensive than
horses. They may be obtained on the
Black Sea; and the writer suggests, if ag
riculiuraI societies would import a few
pairs, they would confer great advantage
on this country. From 800 TO 1000
pounds, with a rider is 2~commou load
for the camel; and the commonest her
bage, even weeds and twigs. will suffice
for their sustenance, while enduring the
severest labofs. ts.-sa a-' a7-
MIR. COlmaD, the ediiSr OF the Farmer,
IS dsposedgo think the foregoing state
ments worthy OF consideration. lie says:
"'Fhe facts given in respect 10 the
speed ofthe camel, their strength and ca
pacity for burlhen, their endurance Of
fatigue, and the, cheapness of their sup-
port. ale well established. They are Of
mild and peaceab'e disposition, and live
to great age. We had supposed that
they could not endure our climate; bur
the statement of the writer Of this letter
shows that it is Otherwise. That they
would be useful on the prairies, and in
the long journeys now undertaken in The
vast and unsettled plaios towards the
Rocky Mountains, into Mexico, and 9TH
