GTIIow TO JUICE CATrLE.-In all domestic
animals, the skin or hide forms one OF the best
means by which to estimate their tattng prop
critics. In the handling OF oXen, if the hide be
found soft and silky 10 the touch, it affords a
tendency to taHe meat. \ beast having per-
ect touch will have thick, loose skin, floating
as it were, on layer OF soft fax, yielding to
the sollest pressure, and springng back towards
the finger like piece OF leather. Such skin
wi, te usually covered with an abundance of
soft glossy hair feeling like bed of moss,
and hence it is always termed mossy skin.
But thck set, hard, short hair always handles
hard, and indicates a hard feeder.

1JTHE CRops. With few local exceptions,
the papers throughout the great West speak of
the growing grain crops being in the most
promising condition, and giving token of an
aJundent harvest. We nave never seen or
heard of fewer complaints, on this score, in any
previous season. The Ohio, Indiana, Michigan
and Wisconsin papers all concur in saying that
present indications warrant high expectations
OF the coming crop. From Illinois we have
some complaints, but not more than at this
time last year.-BoSion Atlas.

This bold vision pre-supposes all the chances OF war
in favor Of the Northern powers. That may happen
but is contrary to reasonable estimate oil prooa>
blies and is not sustained by reference TO the past
contests between the Northern and Southern nations
of Europe We have no recollection of the Russians
winning battle against the French with equal
forces. In every conflict with Napoleon they were
routed They were several times badly beaten by
the Hungarians and in their contests with Turkey
they have not established any decided superiority

But England remains, and whatever MilcSians and

her own kindred on this side ofthe water. We have
