Raising Cattle in Switzerland.

In the last report Of the Secretary Of
the Massachusetts Board Of Agriculture,
we 6nd an interesting chapter devoted to
the breeding Of cattle Of Switzerland.
The last statistics give the number Of cattle
in that ancient republic at soO,oOO, oi
which 475,000 are cows, $4,000 oxen, and
$4,000 heifers. The rerort represents
that the condition Of the cattle in the Alps,
notwithstanding the breed is hardy, as gen.
orally far from prosperous. But little at.
tenton is paid TO stabling, and in some
places, no matter how severe the weather,
cattle are compelled to endure the cold in
the open air; and although our Western
farmers seem to think that cattle thrive
best without shelter, leaving them for
months exposed to the full force Of the
gales of sleet and snow which sweep over
the prairies, we do not think that the cattle
of Switzerlann are improved by the expo.
sure. But they are very knowing animals,
and when the time arrives for them to mi.
crate from the valleys to the mountains,
which occurs in the spring Of the year,
they manifest great joy. They know that
they are to move by the appearance of a
bell, which always goes with them. The
cows all get together, low and frisk about,
recognizing the signal for the approaching
migrat on. Their spirits arc often over.
fowing during the march, and those left
behind in the valleys often follow the rest
of the herd Of their own accord to the dis.
tant heights. In fine weather it is indeed
q glorious life for them up there. The
bears foot, motherwort, and the Alpine
plantain, afford them wholesome and pala
table feed. The sun is less scorching than
down in the valleys, and there are no CAD
aes to disturb the young in their midday
browse. y. ......
The report states, among other matter.
Of interest, that cows on the mountain,
are thought to be more active and intelli
gent than those raised in the valleys
Their life Is more natural and their instincts
more fully developed. An animal left
very much to itself is more on the watch
and shows moro memory than one whicl
is always tended. The Alpine COW know,
every shrub and puddle, knows where t.
find the best patches Of grass, the time o
milking, the call Of her keeper, whom sh'
approaches with confidence, and know,
when to return to the hut. She scents tht
approach Of storm, watches and protect,
her young, and is careful to avoid danger
Gus places. In this last, however, sh,
does not always show her Judgment, a,
hunger will sometimes lead her too near
dangerous patch Of rich grass, and walking
on loose soil, the ground sometimes give

A Mean Man.

"Ive known some very mean men ii my
time. There was Deacon Overreacli: Now
he was so mean, he always carried hen in
his gig box when he Travelled to pick up
the oats his horse wasted in the iilanger,
and lay an egg for his breakfast in the
morning. And then there was Hugo Him!
melman, who made his wife dig potatoes to
pay for the marriage license" "Lawyer'

clay, ~ must tell you Of that story Of
Hugo, for its not bad one; and good sto-
rites like potatoes, amt as plenty as they
used to be when l was boy. Hugo is a
neighbOr of mine, though considerably older
than be, and mean neighbor he is, too.
Well, when he was going to get married to
Gretchen Kolp, he goes down to ParsOn
Rogers, at Digby, to get license.
Parson," says he, "what's the price Of
license?"
"Six dollars" says he.
"Six dollars " says he; "that's dread
full sight Of money! Couldn't you take no
less I"
"No," says he, "that's what they cost
me to the Secretary's Office ut Halifax"
"Well how much do they AK for publish
ing in church then 2"
"NOthing," said parson.
"Well," says Hugo, "that's SO cheap I
can't expect to get no change back. l
think III be published. How long does it
take!"
"Three Sundays"
"Three Sundays" says Hugh. "Well
that's long time, too. But three Sundays
are only fortnight, after all I; two for the
covers and one for the inside like; and six
dollars is great sum Of money for poor
man to throw away. / must wait"
Sooff he wenta jogging toward home, and
looking about US mean as q new sheared
sheep, when all at once bright thought
came into his head, and back he went, as
hard us his horse could carry him.
Parson" says he, "Tve changed my
mind. Here's the six dollars. I'll tic the
knot with my tongue, that / can't undo
with my teeth"
"Why, what in nature is the meaning of
all this = said the parson.
"Why" says Hugo, "Pve been ciphering
it out in my head, and it's cheaper than
publishing bans after all. You sec, sir it's
potato digging time; if wait to be called
in church, her father will have her work
for nothing; aud, as hands are scarce and
wages high, If l marry her tonight, she
can begin our own tomorrow, and that will
pay for the license, and just seven shillings
over; for there amt a man in oil Clements
that can dig and carry as many bushels in a
day as Gretchen can. And, besides, fresh
wives, like fresh servants, work like smoke
at first, but they get saucy and lazy after a
while"
