iNrEaEsrrso TO CATTLE BaEEDERs.


J. H. Wallace, Esq, Sec'y Of the State
Agricultural Society, publishes an article
in the journal, "to the cattle breeders Of
Iowa." which is too long for our columns
The substance of the document we give be-
low, as condensed by the Davenport Ga
zette: -. ..., ..- .,.
"The Secretary has marked growing
disposition to embark in breeding short
horned cattle. While other families are not
neglected, the Durhams appear to be the ia
vorites. Parties have brought in graded
animals and sold to our breeders as thor
cueh breeds. Farmers thus deceived after
spending years in attempting to improve their
stock, pronounce the whole thing a humbug.
The Secretary urges breeders to procure
what they or others KNOW to be pure stock.
lilo says the Durham breed sis foreign
one, and every pure animal must trace its
pedigree to imported ancestors on both sides
of the house without any admixturc Of na-
tive Or other breeds" He says the Amer.
Jean Herd Book, is recognized as national
authority on this subject, but as it cost five
dollars volume, and is therefore not with
in the reach of the public, he intends pub
fishing in the next volume of Transactions,
the pedigree of all the pure breed cattle in
the State, Of whatever race they be, and in
the class Of short horns, he will insert no ami
nal a. pure blood unless it is already in :he
American Herd Book, or is entitled to be
there. lie thinks this will be great ad-
vantage to those who own pure stock, while
some who do not will be glad to be set right,
md others vii condemn his course. lie
asks that pcdisrecs be forwarded to him a.
once, and persons owning stock promptly
answer his questions. He anticipates much
labor in securing all the facts, and IS there
fore desirous Of commencing the work ear

ARECRUITING STRATAGEM.

Carlisle, in his life Of Frederick the SEQ

Itch there lived and worked a tall young
carpcntcr: one day we'll dressed, positive

household purposes; must be OF such and
such dimensions, six feet six in length cspec-
iuIlv, and that is an Indispensable point-in
flct it will be longer than yourself, think
Herr Zimmerman, what is the cost? when
cln it be ready? 2 Cost, time, and the rest
are settled. a right stout chest, then, and
zee YOU don't forget the size; if too short,
it will be of no use to me, mind ?'-'jdrOht

goes his way. At the appointed day he re-
appears; the chest is read 1--WE hope, and

'Nay, your Honor says the carpenter, am
certain it is six feet six = and takes out his
foot rule. 'Pslaw, it was to be longer than
YOURSELF 'Wcll, it is. 'No, it is'ntn The
carpenter, to end the matter, gets into his
chest; and will convince any and all mortals.
No sooner is he in, rightly Hat, than the pos
tive gentleman, Prussian recruiting Off
Ger in disguise, slams down the lid upon
him ; locks it: whistles in three stout fell
lows, who pick up the chest, gravcly walk
through the streets with it; open it in Il safe
place and fnd--horrble to relate--the
poor carpenter dead choked by want Of air
in this fr,ghtful middle-passage of his
Name Of the town is given, Julich, as above !;
date not. And if the thing had only been

But it is TOO true; the tall carpenter lay
dead, and IIompesch got imprisoned for life

correspondence between two servant girls.

describes the lates. style Of dress to Martha

Mary Jane is evidently well posted in fash

can turn anything ncater than any other man

They have terms to indicate cheat, liar, thief. mlr
dcrer coward fool, lazy man, drunkard, blbbler ::
but have never heard of an imprecation or oah.--

the formation Of terms used in oatbs or for purposes
of profanity 1t is the result of The observation of
Others us well as my own, to say that an Indian can
not curse.
