Il is fact that all domestic animals can
be improved in size and value. One
hundred and fifty years ago tie average
weigh! Of cattle at the Smithfield market
was not over $40 pounds. and that of the
sheep 20 pounds. Now, the average
weight Of the former is over 500 pounds,
and Of the latter 50 pounds.
The average weight OF cattle properly
termed beeves, in the New York market,
is about 700 pounds, and sheep 50
pounds.
The average live weight Of the heaviest

brought to this market, was 9, 067 pounds.

Birds and insects.

WTIsoN FLAeG, in late nun Der OF
Hoyey's Magazine, makes five classes 81
insects, ard rs many of birds, acting
as natural checks upon the increase Of H.
sects.
/ The swallows are the natural enemies
Of the swarmng insects. living almost
entirely upon them, taking their food upon
the wing
The common martin devours great guam
titles Of wa<p.. beetles, and goldsmith -
A single bird VIII devour five thousand
butterflies in a week The moral Of this
is. chat the husbandman should cultivate
tic society of swallows and martins about
Ii, land and out buildings.
The sparrows and the wrcns feed up
Oh the crawling insects which lutk with
in the buds, foil Sc, and flowers Of plants
Tie wrens are pngnacIous, and a little
box in cherry tree will soon be appro-
priated by them, and they viii drive away
other birds that feel upon the f,uit-a
hint that cherry growers should remember
and act upon.
The ihrashes, blue birds, JAYS, and
crows prey upon butterflies, grasshoppors,
crickets, locusts, and the larger beetles -
A single family of jays will consume
twenty tn usand OF these in season OF
three months.
The woodpeckors ale armed with a
stout, long bill, 10 penetrate the wood
Of trees, where the borers deposit their
larla. They live almost entirely upon
these worms.
For the insects which come abroad ONLY
during The night, nature has provided u
check in the nocturnal birds OF tie whip
porwill tribe and the little barn o. Nv hich
take their food upon The wing.
How wonderful is this provision Of
Providence for the restraint Of the depre-
da'ors that live upon the labors OF man
and how careful should we be not to dis
pute that beneficial law Of compensation
by which ak things are preserved in their
just relations and proportions = Ameri-
