DOMESTIC ANIMALS.

Few people are aware that it is nearly as easy
TO alter the frame OF our cattle as II is 10 alter the
stvle OF cur dwellings,. John Bull, for instance,
has gone on improving bis oxen until lac has &c:
a breed almost without legs. From the returns
Of the last census, it is safe to say, that ! 100000
COWS are now milLed in this State, which are sup
posed to yield about $40 per head. To improve
these uptO an averages annual product OF S3l each
CIhat IS, to one half what the bestlaTge dsiries in
the country now yie!d.) would add SI2. 100000
to the income of the citizens ofa single State
This gain, by the Improvement ofohe KIDD ofru-
raj machinery, would be equivalent to creating a
capital of S20O.O0O.OOO, and placing the money
where it would yield over six per cent. interest IN
peTpetnity. II the thirty millions OF sheep in the
United States gave as good returns IN wool for
the food consumed as the best one hundred thou
sand now do, it wouid add at least sixty million
pounds to che annual clip of this important staple.
There are not far from {, 1000, 1000 horses and mules
in the United States; and II is not too much 10
say that, in a few generations, these animals may
be improved fnll $50 n head on an average. If
so, the gain by this Increase o muscnlar power,
and it's greater durability, will be $3.50, CCO, GOO.
