AGENTS for Straubs Corn and Wheat Mil
n the "Qucen Of the South" This remarkable
Mill has been kept secured to the inventor by eaveat
recently, however, (June 9th, 1854.) Letters
Patent for the United States have been granted. Sc
curing the invention for fourteen years. This Mil
has sustained itself wherever it has been brought in
to competition with other Mills. 1t was run Srainsi
the other make of Mills Of cur city, at the Ohio State
Fair, in 1850, when it drew a diploma as the best
Corn Mill, and was awarded a fine silver medal.
Of these Mills we manufacture FIVE sizes for corn
and three expressly for grinding wheat -four.
The peculiqr novelty OF this Mill is, the under
stone is the running stone, in all eases. There is nc
limit to the speed, and as speed is everything in grind
ing 1t will out grind any upper grinder in The world
Secondly: By this arrangement We are enabled tc
get grain into the Mill with a very small eye, eonse-
quently we grind nearer the centre, and Of course
with less power than any upper runner can be made
Thirdly: Our Mill takes any kind Of grain without
choking. We warrant against choking in any and al
cases This IS a great ~vexatiOn causing delay and
trouble IN all Mills where the upper stone is the run
ner. vi course, we mean small Mills, where the mo-
ton must be high to do much business.
Fourthly; Our Mills never take injury by running
empty-theu under stone not touching the upper one,
no injury can be done. This is an important advan-
taSe over all Mills where the upper stone is the run

particularly of the merits of these Machines, as they
are too well known throughout the country to need

More capital is needed at the present
day than in former times, in order to
conduct farming operations judiciously
and successfully. Or, if more capital
is not absolutely needed on farms of
equal magnitude than was found sufi-
cient in former days, it may be safely
asserted that more capital could be
proftably employed in farming than is
usually invested for this purpose. In
buildings, in stock, in implements, in
manures, in drains, and in other things
subservient to good and profitable
farming, there is not as much capital
invested by one-half as might be to
good advantage.
The causes of this deficiency Of in
vestments of capital in farming are
various. In our new settlements it
is generally the result of necessity.
Instead of having any spare capital,
the great bulk of our first settlers in
our Western States have not enough
to provide things absolutely necessary
without contracting debts or ''hiring
money" as it is called. In u older
States the spare capital Of farmers is
diverted away from its natural channel
by alluring and often delusiye prospects
of larger returns from other modes of
investments. The low estimate put
upon the returns from investments in
things auxiliary to an improved style
of farming, is owing, partly, to the
want Of making correct calculations,
partly to the want Of all calculations
and all forethought about the matter,
and partly to placing the returns al
together too low, simply because those
returns are sometimes distant and slow
in coming, or subject to uncertainty
and occasional failures.
But from whatever cause it happens
that farmers are slow and reluctant
about investing their profits and spare
capital in improvements upon their
farms or farm appurtenances, we are
confident that they are blind to their
own interests, in many cases at least,
when they turn aside their capital from
this, its natural channel. We are very
confident that a man of energy.
familiar with recent improvements in
farming, and in every other respect
competent to manage a farm to GOOD
advantage, could employ capitalin some
or several Of the departments of his
own business so as to make it yield q
higherper centage than he could realize
from any other investment equally safe
and covenient. AT all events, many
of our more observing readers must
have often seen cases in which the com
mand of more capital would have In
creased both the pleasure and the
proft of the farmers operations, or il
which their business was carried on a
a disadvantage for the want Of a little
{ more capital. We trust these hint
4 will benefit some of the readers Of thi
: paper. A.-Country Gentleman.

From the Country Gentleman,
BREEDING N-AED-IK."

MEssRs. EDIToRs:-Much has been
said and written on this question, pro
and con, by stock breeders, one party
affirming that "breeding in-and-in," as
it is called, by farmers, tends to de-
generate the species, or the variety of
the animal in question. Without touch
ing the controversy, directly as such,
the writer desires to give the readers
Of the Country Gentleman two or three
facts relating to this question.
Being at Col. Jacques, who resides
at Ten Hills farm, in Charleston, Mass.
few days since, the Colonel, now more
than so, an intelligent breeder of vari-
Gus domestic animals, made the follow
ing statements: 81 have geese that I
have bred in-and-in for thirty-six gene
rations. The first pair weighed II lbs.
apiece. I have them now that weigh
% lbs. apiece, in the same condition.
The last generation seem to be the
best yet produced" So much for
geese.
81 have a bull land he exhibited the
animal,) that was dropped on the 4th
of last July, the 18th generation
Of breeding in-and-in, as fine a calf as
I ever saw. I commenced making this
calf BY buying Comet, a short-horned
bull. when acalf for 5000, which, owing
to peculiar circumstances, was much
less than he cost the importer in Eng
land. / selected the best COW ]
could find and have bred in-and-in ever
since, my object beingto produce good
mixers, good oxen, and good animals
for beef. The bull referred to, the 37th
generation, is the finest animal that ]
have ever seen produced. The COW
that brought him, gives twenty quarts
OF milk a day, four Of which viii yield
enough to make a pound of
butter. This cream can be changed
70 butter by stirring it in q bowl one
minute. I call my stock the cream
BOT breed. I have tested the same
n breeding hounds for fox-hunting, IN

.elf. not from books but from expert
nenting and from careful observation,
