| Of veriue Mr.. Corning was about commencing 70
drain this lo,, and parposes extending the system
over tie entire farm. He has perhaps one of the
meet extensive and valuable collections of green
house plants in this country, and sone specimens e1-
csedipely rare and valuable. There Are over 40 feet
Of lighthouses, built in substantial manner and with
ta,te. The pleasure grounds adjoining the house are
so well kept, the lawn is 30 beautifully green and
closely shorn, ard the trees so disposed, to WV
idly recall the memory Of English country-places re-
certly visited. The collection Of hes:hs is perhsps
the finest in the country, there being over 40 vare-
ties Of this graceful plant We noticed especially

Mr. Corning Gays that be has given faithful trials,
side BY eide, to Shorthorns and Hereords, and has
convinced binsef Of the superiority Of the latter,
for withstandpg our cold Northern climate, for
making hesh on less food, and for activity as work
en- He has had at times twenty or thirty OF each
breed in his stables, and the result is that he has
chosen what he thinks the "good part that cannot
| be taken from" him. His animals are not kept up
and fed 10 get them in high condition, for be has bred
not for the butcher but for the breeder.
The cow stalls are separated by partitions carried
up quite to the ceiling, which 70 US an unneces-

other than the street sprnklers in common in this

Mr. Corping's herd usually comprises 20 head of
stock, but he has lot many at present The price
of fr.tclass females in England is about 1875 and the
charges of import alton which include passage,
the house on deck, hay straw and feed, 500 to
$3.50 more the whole making the animal cost, dehv-

The bull Cardinal Wseman, bred by Mr.. Smithies,
ard now ten years old, has been fine animal in his
time He has good frame, but it shows too plainly
jus, now for he is very thin and gsunt. calf by De-
fauce out Of Victoria I'd, by Cambria SS, was bred
by Mr.. HUMPHREYS of Lorain County, Ohio, and PROM
ises 10 make superior animal. His siro and himself
were exhibited at Syracuse at the State FAIR and the
calf seemed SO full of promise that Mr. Cornrg pur-
chased him. He is very smooth, his upper and lower
lines good crops well filed, and drops We'll in the
flank.
Grace, an aged cow Of Lord Berwick's breeding 10
deep and roomy, and has q good flank. She is by
Tom Thumb 243, dam Wood-Pigeon by The Count
2jl. Her dam the winner as the best COW at
Shrewsbury in 1856, and The Count has sired some
of Lord b. best hefers.
Victoria Attn, coming years old, BY Cardinal w.
of Vic lst, 10 imported COW. She ia very
heavy and in high condition. She is said to have had
throughout the Winter only two quarts Of ship stud,
with hay and stalks, but is really in too high flesh
She is very lengthy and deep, and must weight l3oo
bs. Lady Goddard, another imported COW, Cora,
and Princes, with calf by her side by Cardinal
w, are worthy of notice, and the young stock il
quite creditable.
The lovers Of fine carriage horses would be pleased
TO see pair Of spanking bays that Mr.. C drives.
They can 90 in 1913 double and one OF them in
2:45 single; are without fault or bemish, l6 hands
high and yesrs old, and cost the nice little sum Of
S. 200. brood Of wonderful strength and con-
stuton, by an imported English dray-horse out OF
common mare should not be passed without notice.
She pulled trenty'ir barrels Of -four at one load from
the city to the railroad depot across the river with
enough men sitting the tbills TO balance the load.
We cannot conclude notice Of Herefords more sp-
propriat.ly than by quoting the language used by Mr.
r. Smith in his last report to the Royal Agricultural
Society of England:
"In orr present day we zee recorded in the SOcie.
TVS journals an increasing number Of competitors from
different parts Of the kingdom This proves that the
value Of the breed s becoming more appreciated. A
few years stree they were almost exclusively in the
hands Of the tenant farmers Of their native county
They now form the principal breed Of the counties OF
Monmouth, Radnor, Brecon, Salop, and pats Of the
counties Of Gloucester, Worcester, Warwick, Stat
ford Willis, Herts, Dorset, Somerset, and Cornwall
There are also some good herds in North Wales and
Scotland for which districts their hardine1 Of c0Rss
luton thick but ntllor kdes, rasy, sot and moder-
aie!y long hair, render them peculiarly adapted
At the Chester Show Of the Royal Society We saw
the representatives this breed. The entries were
of Aged Bulls, 9; Young Bulls, 49, Boil Calves, Ia;
Cows in calf milk, 8; Heifers in calf or milk 8;
ard Yesrlng Heifer. IA entries. The prize bull, the
property of Dir. Price, girthed feet inches.
Another highly commended bull. shown by Lord
Batensn girthed feet inches. These exceeded in

8 inches-his girth being feet inch. The show of
