has no superior. In England before they
were in so great demand as Of late years
for breeding and feeding purposes, her feats
at the pail were triumphantly set forth by
her breeders; but of late years, so much
more profitable have been her returns for
breeding purposes alone, that the milking
quality has been measurably neglected for
the greater benefit Of obtaining q better
calf in the sacrifice of large portion Of
her milk. That is to say II the cow is
MIXED to her utmost capacity in quantity,
and time in yielding It, it must be tO q con.
siderable extent Mt the expense Of the
growth and development of the fUtus, or
embryo calf within her: she cannot do two
things in the best possible manner at one
and the same time-give a great yield OF
milk, and produce the best developed calf
together. One or the other must suffer, Us
the best breeders consider, and the calf be.
ing { the most consequence the milk is
sacrificed. There are good physiological
reasons for this opinion which might be
given, but as we are not discussing the
science Of breeding, it need not now be
dwelt upon. But that the Shorthorn has
the natural capacity, and when reared and
nanrged for that object, the tendency to
produce milk equal to any breed whatever,
there can be no question. Numerous re.
corded instances in this country, as in Eng.
land. attest that fact. The several volumes
Of the American Herd Book may BE- re-
ferred to where shorthorn cows have pro-.
duced thirty to even forty quarts per day i,
for weeks together, OF the richest milk,
making q corresponding weight Of butter.
Broom Corn SEED FooD FOR HoRsEs.-
We are glad to lay before our readers the
following facts, upon the value of this pc.
culiar kind Of food for stock. To many per.
sons, this will be entirely new thought.
and as broom.corn is already cultivated to
a large extent, and will undoubtedly be
largely increased the coming year, We
hope those who have the opportunity, will
try it, and furnish us with their experience
and all the results:
In the township of Webster, Mich,
where man was not deemed sound on
the broom corn question unless he had halt
his farm planted to it, fed it to hurses for
years, and had an opportunity Of seeing 1t
