WHERE ARE THE BEST CATTLT

The most valuable breede of neat cattle
originated in great Brtian-ths Short.
hornes, Devons, and Hereford in England
Ayrshires in Scotland and Alderneys in
the Channel Islands. 1t would be natural
to suppose that the best specimens of those
breeds are still to be found in Great Brit
,iap, but we are by no means sure tha!
this is necessarily the case. Among the
great variety of soils and climates in the
county, there are those peculiraly adapted
to certain Of these established breeds, and
considering the tendency of the surround
ing circumstances to change the type Of
animals breed for several generations un-
der similar influences, and the constant
study of our best stock. breeders, to i'm
prove their herds, we may reasonably ex-
pect marked improvement in favorable
localities. 1t is certainly true that we have
as fine Deyons and Ayrshires as there are
any where. Attorneys too have been Sc
lected with great care, the highest prices
have been paid, and many prize animals
have been imported. Our Short horn
breeders have been exceedingly liberal
and judicous in their purchases in Epg-
land, paying the highest prices and taking
off the very choice of the best herds of
England in repeated cases. A few years
since American bred Short horns began to
6Rd their way back to British pastures,
and now we notice that descendants of
these Americans are prize-takers at British
Shows. At The Royal Agricultural Soci-
cites Show in Worcester, the lst prize for
heifer calves over 6 and under l months
old, was awarded TO D. Mcintosh for La

MANURE OF DIFFERENT CLASSES
OF ANIMALS,

Cows in full milk or with calf, secrete
from their feed great quantities Of vaiua-
bic substances which iatten COWS or oxen
will not withdraw from what they cat
hence the manure of the milch cows is not
worth nearly so much as that Of fattening
animals. This must be evident from the
obvious fact, that out OF the milk, or what
would be milk, the entire structure of 81
weeks old calf is formed The calf con-
tinuos to grow and learns to eat the same
food that the cows does, and for several
years is building up his frame of heavy
bones all the valuable ingredient, per-
manently entering into his system, OF
course come out of his feed, and would,
were he full grown steer, have PASSED

ly to undervalue the important differences

differences which we have alluded to, oi
course exist as we'll in the manure of 9th

tie. Let us then bear in mind that keep
ing milk giving and growing animals is 8
great tax upon the land, that atteniug an
imals make rich manure heaps, and tha
full grown male animals draw much lesi

The fire was out and So too, was her mother;
A feeble fame around the lamp did curl,
Making faint shadows. blending in each otner;
Twas nearly twelve o'clock, too, in November;

Well had been to see her every night
For thirteen DAYS, and had sneaking notion
To pop the question: thinking all was right,
And once OF twice had made an awkward motion
To take her hand, and stamner'd, coughd, ana
stutter'd, ;,
But somehow, nothing to the point had utturd

Bent over, sighed and for five minutes eyed ner

And with her feet upon the floor was drumming

came on this stage of action not long ago
some years after the Revolutionary war
and l used to hear my parents and the
men and women of that age, talk aOout
the vast number of tories who were OPP
posed to tho government of the Uniteu
States in the Revolution and what sur
prised me above all things was at the ex-
piration of thirty years afterwards, there
was not a tory to be found in the whole
United States. (Laughter.) was never
able to understand where they had all
gone to.
It is my Judgment that we will all come
together again that when the Stars and
Stripes wave over Richmond, the rebellion
will 90 down; and that within one, two,
three and four years after that, you will
have to look mighty sharp to find man
who was ever a secessionist or an alder IN
rebellion. (Cheers) know that for that
" era of good feeling" the Democrats will
have every encouragement to favor the

to say that this war was a failure, and it
was made to abolish slavery. Without
accepting that as the object of the war
which was to preserve the Union, we will
take them on their own ground, and see
how the matter stands. The first year OF
the war suppressed the African slave trade
| in the United States; the second year OF
the war brought tie negroes up 10 the lew
ell of soldiers of freedom and abolished sla-
very in the District of Columbia, the third
year abolished slavery in Maryland
| (cheers)-and if the Democrats think that
the war has been failure this year, when
Congress comes together it will adopt a
constitutional amendment and abolish sla-
very throughout the United States. loud
cheers.) Now know that when slavery
is removed, the only element of discord
among the American people will have
ceased to work its mischievous fruits; but
| know that it will not be the fault of the
administration if we do not have an era OF
peace and harmony, and go on ,resuming
| our proud career among the nations, and
advancing the interests of the country, OF
freedom, of sef-government and of hu,
manity.
