Hints on Breeding Dairy Cows.

The disappoin,ments of dairy farmers
are generally to be traced 10 a want Of
judgment in the selection of their breeding
stock A very common error is that Of
crossing between male and female OF Cd.
posite descriptions aud characteristics. and
without regard to the kind of animal sough,
to be produced.
The system of crossing is, at the best, a
very ialIacions principle of breeding. AL.
though there cannot be doubt that muct,
good may be effected by an occasional u-
dlclous cross, true breed is never made
by casual crossing
We may see examples every day of the
public and private loss which result from
ignorance Of the relative value and econom.
zeal uses of the different breeds of our do.
nestle animals.
In consequence of the early attention
pa'o 10 the produce of the dairy in this
country, 1t is easy to see why breed best
suited Tor that purpose would be sought for
IN preference to others possessing the pron.
erty OF early fattening.
Much OF the profit Of breeders denends
upon adapting the breed Of any animal tn
'ne circumstances in which it is TO be Mac.
ed' and all COWS are found to succeed hes,
IN the place where they have been reared
It IS question OF vast economical interest

breed should be preserved and iIaprcvsd

CHERRIES WITHOUT STONES Cherries
without stones have been produced in France
it Is said, by the following method;
In the spring before the circulation of
the sap, young seeding cherry tree is split
from the upper extremity down to the fork
OF its roots; then. by means of piece of
wood in the form of a spatua, the pith is
carefully removed from The tree in such a
manner as to avoid any excavations or 9TH
er injury; knife is used only for com.

sections are brought together, and tied with

really with clay the whole length of the
cleft. The sap soon re.unites the separal-
ed portions of the tree, and two years after
wards, cherries are produced of the usual
appearance, but, instead of stones, there
will only be small soft pelIicles.

And now and then reads song or story,

But to sit and philosophize gravely:

Who exclams now and then, she picks up the taper

STEAMER WEST NEWToN. !

Sun
STEAMER WEST Newton,
April 80, 1858. !
The engineer on board this steamer has
dog whose astonishing sagacity | have
never seen equalIed He apparently knows
all that is said to him; his master talks to
him as to hnman being, if reproved, the
dog weeps bitterly; if commended, he ev-
inces the warmest satisfaction. If a duck
or goose, or dozen of them, be sho! in
the water, he will bring them ashore, and
when he thinks he has brought them all. he
will look wistfnly to see if his master is
satisfied If told that one is missing, away
he darts, nor will he return without it,
When hunting, on coming to the track OF
his game, he will stop for moment, then
run to his master, take him by the panta
looms, lead him to the track, then look up
as though asking what he should do Once
told to go on he will follow in the track
day and night till he arrives at the partlcu
lar game sought. His master one day lost
his steel powder flask, the strings having
given way; he concluded that he must
have dropped it about FIVE miles distant. he
sent his dog in quest of it; and, on hi;
being absent longer than expected, his mas
ter felt alarmed, and went in pursuit of his
dog. Arriving at the place where he sup.
posed the flask must have been dropped, he
found the dog paving and pushing the flask
along with his fore paws aad nose; he had
taken the wrong end of the strings, and
they consequently came out of the loop,
and nothing could ever induce the dog to
take a smooth piece of iron between his
teeth.
This dog is often sent with basket in
his mouth to the butchers. He will set
his basket down at the butchers feet, then
60 to the kind of meat required, be it beel
steak, mutton chop. venison or yea that
he will have, and nothing else; the butch
err cannot deceive him. No inducement
will make him touch the basket till the
right kind of meat is in it. If sent for
eggs, and told to get dozen, he will not
be put off with eleven, and what is more re.
markabe, he will not take bad egg. He
smells them, and if one is bad, that one
has TO come out-he will not take it, nor
will he take piece Of bad meat. He takes
letters to the post office and puts them in
the box. If the postage is to be paid, the
money is put in paper, and he carefully
delivers it to the proper person. When
sent for letters, he sets up howl at the
window, nor does he cease till the Posi-
Master gives him letter or informs him
there are none. II directed to bring let
ter, and newspaper be offered, he will re-
ject it and vice versa. He implicitly obey.
orders, His master lives on one sile o
the Mississippi, and owns a tract of land or
the other; consequently, he frequently
crosses over it in skif to work, On re
