VERMONT HoRsEs.--lt is probable that the
business of Horsebreeding is the most sue
cessiully carried on in Vermont of any state
in the Union, her noble looking animals are
the pride OF our whole country and her rcpu
tation is Notwithstanding to the old world.
About one year ago the Emperor of the
Frenchpurchased, through an agent in Boston,
u few specimens of Vermont Trottng Stock,
and these gave such satisfaction that an order
for additions to his stable were received re-
Gently, and, on the 4th inst three Morgan
hree-year.olds, standing each fifteen hands
three inches, and of royalty dark brown,
wete sent out by the Ariel, to be landed at
Hovre, and thence forwarded to the Emperor
at Paris. Speaking thereupon, Porter's Spir-
it Of the Times remarks =" There is one
good effect that will certainly attend this
second imperial Importation of American
horses, and that will be, to draw the general
attention of France to the qualities of this
superb breed of roadsters, aud to render their
introduction fashionable. The horse business
OF New England may therefore be considered
on the rise.'
One of the hore purchased year ago fer
Napoleon, was raised by DR.. Atwel, of Eden
tile Representative from that town in the
present Legislature. The dam of that horse
is now twenty-three years old, and has prob.
ably produced more really valuable horses
tor the cities than any other mare in Northern
Vermont, and still retains the nimbleness and
grace of youth.

Root Crops.


Mr.. EDrToR;-I have long promised my
self that | would communicate, through the
Ne'o ERTand Farmer, my experience the
last winter, in feeding English turnips to
stock.
In the autumn Of 1857. raised from
among my corn four hundred and fifty bush
els of English fiat turnips; these, commen-
ccd feeding to my stock early in the month
Of November, together with wheat straw,
and from the time of my first feeding, those
OF my young cattle, composed of two and
three gears old, had no other fodder than the
turnips and wheat straw until after the fifth
of the next March, at which time they were
in fair be. condition. The expense Of rails
ing and harvesting the these turnips did not
exceed three cents a bushel; and the addi-
tional cost of feeding roots, to stock, if
root-cutter is used, is very little. I feel per-
fcctly confident that the statement made in
your letter from Newport, N. H., in the O.
tober number of the Farmer, that the far
mcrs of New England with little or no more
labor upon their farms, can double their Ca
pacity for keeping stock by the gradual in
PRODUCTION of root crops"-is perfectly true.
And would earnestly urge our farmers to
initiate this well-tested system of husbandry,
so long practised by English agriculturists,
