CITY INTELLIGENCE.
(OFFYoYAL PAPER or TIE OITY)

NEW SroRE.--We would call the attention of our
readers to the new establishment of g. IL. b.
White 4 Co., ON Pennsylvania avenue between
9Th and 10th streets Ii Is not often that we speak
of stores, in other than our advertising columns
but in this instance we feel that we should be
guilty of the sin Of omission IL we did not give our
patrons information respecting this finely fitted up
gentlemen's furnishing store.
IL Is needless for us TO give the number 9s every
one will know it by sight, for Of the most tasty
and recherche establishments on the Avenue. One
of the principal reasons ofour noticing this is that
the firm have employed our fellowcitzens to do the
work. and the great credit reflected on the city by
the way in which they have performed their part.
The double front was put in by Walker, and the
carpenters work by Brown. The fine gas-fxtures
came from Buffers store. The stove from Skin
Wings The paper and curtains were hung by
Franklin, and Kirk did the painting, and the oil
cloth is from Clagett's. 3i
What struck our fancy particularly was the
beautiful marble-tables which they use in place Of
counters These, we thought, were surely import
ed and surprised to learn that the slabs were
from Kelys marble works in this city, and that the
fine green-bronzed iron frames of Dolphin pattern,
which supported them, were from Philadelphia.
The assortment Of goods are all that gentle
man can ask for; we saw everything we could
think Of and many new fxings" we never had
thought Of before. We are glad to see our young
himself OF him it is useless for US to speak, as
he made himself 80 well known in that princely
furnishing store of Charles HI. Lane, of this city.
and now that Mr.. White has ''set up for himself,
we must bid his former employers to look to his
laurels For the particulars of his stock of goods
see advertising columns. We bespeak for the new
firm the favor of the public generally.

From the Boston Cultivator.1
QUALITY OF FLESH IN CATTLE.

Tt is known that the quality of flesh in
cattle, varies greatly, even in those which
may have been reared and fed under the
same circumstances. Important as is
! this matter, it is but very imprrfectly
attended to in this country. In judg-
ing cattle bred chiefly for beef, at agri-
cultural shows, it has been too little re-
parded. We take the following remarks,
which are worthy of particular attention,
from a manuscript article placed in our
hands by VIM. H. Southam. a we'll
known cattle-breeder, of oswego, n. Y.
-EDs
Every breeder ought TO know there
are in cattle three distinct qualities of
flesh, which cannot be discovered while
the animal is alive, by any other means
than the hand. This is the most impor-
tant lesson in a breeders education. No
man can be a good breeder without this
knowledge to guide them. It cannot
be learned from books or lectures. There
must in the outset be inherent natural
ability, and a faculty fclose observation
and comparison. Without these it can
not be obtained.
The first quality CT flesh is known in
the butchers stall as npar6led-the fat
and lean are beautifully mixed from the
first of the animals feeding. This kind
of flesh is natural, and never varies in
a 6rst-class beast. The animal which
produces it has always a moderately
thick, but mellow hide, handling elastic
until fnlly ripe, when the texture be-
comes firm as a mackerel.' This kind
of meat, as soon as it is cold, is always
firm, comes off the spit, or out of the ov-
en- or pot, as large as it goes in does
not lose its nutriment in either course of
cooking. When it comes to the table,
and the first cut has been taken off, it
shows its quality, whether it is hot or
cold.
This description of beef is worth thir-
ty per cent more in my opinion, to the
consumer, than the second class, which
is always fo65y and greasy, and never
sets, except when it is frozen ; all its
oily fat is extracted In the process of
cooking, leaving but very little nutri-
tion in the porus lean, which is tough
and stringy. An epiure soon discovers
this, but not one in a thousand knows
the animal that produces such flesh.
This quality is readily discovered in the
animal, by the hand. The beast
has generally a thin skin, which, as well
as the flesh, is always soft and fabby-
the tissue never hardening to ripeness.
The third quality of flesh is always
too hard, looks blue, and livery. Ami
mails that carry this kind of flesh haye
a thick, heavy thigh, the coarse muscles
running from the round bone to the hook
forming a thick, protuberant bullock
the sides and fore quarters are as Culley
describes them-'one layer of black flesh
across another the shoulder bones large
the points projecting. Such beasts always
handle hard their skin is leather, and
as tight over them as if stretched with
pinchers. They never get very thin,
and never get fat they will get Aeshy,
but the flesh is no better than poor bull
beef

FEEDING POULTRY ON CARROTS.

/ have never seen anything in your
paper recommending carrots as food for
poultry. l feed them to my fowls every
day, and find it profitable to do so. In
the present high prices of grain, &c, it
is worth while for people to use any sub
stitute that will answer the same purpose
I venture to say that those who have fed
their fowls OF carrots, chopped fine, will
not readily discontinue the practice.
The chopping is most easily done with a
common sausage meat cutter, costing
about So. These machines will pay
their entire cost, in most families, in a
single year, in various l~abor-saving ways.
A couple of boys, in a single evening,
could easily cut a barrel full of carrots,
which, if fed to hens, mixed with meal,
scraps, &c., would be worth much more
than the same value in grain at the pres
ent p-ices.
At the conversational meeting OF ex-
hibitors at the last NationrI Poultry
Show, carrots were recommended for
general use, as better than anything else,
for laying hens ; " chemically consider
cd )" it was said. they contain more
of tie substance necessary to form eggs
than any other food" One of the speak
ers went 50 far as to assert that one busl :
ell of carrots contains more food than a
hurtHred cart, loads of turnips. This
may be a fen cart-loads too many, but
l think their value as an article of food
for almost everything in the farmers
barn and ~barn-yard, or his family even,
is not generally over.rated, else we
should see more of them raised.
One reason, doubtless, why no more
are grown is, the labor necessary to raise
a good crop. 1 think the usual method
of raising carrots can be improved, 50
that the crop need not cost more than
one-half what it now does. In my own
practice I have managed to dispense
with a good deal of labor, which I nee
thought necessary, and I still think there
is room for improvement.-RWraL Nea0

MILK AND BUTTER.-In answer to the
question, " How much milk does it take
to make one pound of butter ?n a cor
respondent of the Agricultural Gazette
states that, as the result Of twenty years
experience on dairy farms, he finds that
1t takes 2 gallons 81 pints of new milk
to make n pound of butter for the SUM-
mer half year, and 2 gallons 81 pints for
the winter half year ; or for the twelve
months it takes2 gallons 5 pints of new
milk to make one pound of butter, and
81 pints of cream to make one pound of
butter. The stocks from which the ex-
periments were taken were chiefly what
are known as the well bred Irish COW.
