e unquestionable signs of good farming. IN,
stock exhibit the unmistskable evidence =,
neglect and inattention in breedings Tbe,.
: Is no doubt that it il generally Ike rrsul,
either Of carelessness or that Il arises frr.,
. the mistaken idea often entertained 4,
! farmers, that +" il will not paw to devots
more attention and expense to this branch
Of their business
How very much mistaken are those who
inoHge IN this idea. for that il win cost
no more to keep wel-bred animal than
ne OF an inferior quality Is an undisputed
Tact, and very often il is the case that that
breed of animals which is particularly dis
tinguished for some excellent quality, con
sumo less than those which are their decid-
ed interiors Hence it follows from this,
that 1t is possible to keep more well-bred
animals upon a certain quantity OF 1000
than those Of an inferior unalitys
Having thus proved that it is poor econ
: on,y. in relation 10 the quantity OF food
: consumed, to keep an inferior animal
shall now speak Of some Of the other adj
vantapos which wel-brei animals have
over the inferior Take, for example, two
, oxen one of which is well bred and well
| cared for; the other an i'll bred, i'll cared
far inferior animal and notice the vastly
creator case and CELEBRITY with which the
former will do Lis work in comparison to
the latter In like manner take two cows
and notice the difference in the quantity
and quality Of the milk. Also, in relation
to fattening qualities observe how much
quicker and with what greater facility the
wcll bred animals may be fattened, and to
| what greater weights they may he brought
than those which are inferior to them.
But some may say that it is necessary, in
order to obtain those well-bred animals 10
invest more money than they care about
| doing. 1t is true that in some cases il is
| necessary 10 cxpend certain amount, but
this when properly invested, will soon he
repaid. But il often happens that it is not
necessary to cxpcnd anything. for there are
doubtless some Of your ncighbors who pos
sess better bred males than yourself, and
often by thus interchanging great benefits
| may cnsuc.
Such a method as this would benefit ONLY
| those who raise their own breeding stock.
but those who buy their stock and sell the
young, generally run risk Of obtaining
some inferior animals Gernalttotcn Th-

| SowING WEEDS OF Ms are aware of
the amount of labor we entail upon our
| selves by sowing foul seed, or seed that
contains large quantity of weed seed upon
our fields. We are sowing it every wear.
| ard what is worse we cannot help ourselves
Prof buchanan, late of the ROYAL Agri-
cultural College, after the most careful in
vestigation, found that in a pint of ordin-
airy clover seed, there were no less than
1900 seeds Of weeds. In pint of com
mon grass seed, such Us is generally bought
at the stores, there were 12,600 weed seeds. |
In pint of broad -leayed clover. there were |
39,44o weed seeds. One pint of Scotch |
clover gave $3.50, and another the cnor |
nous quantity of 1900 foul weed seeds.
The number of these vile seeds to he |
found IN our grass seeds like timothy, red |
top. tic, is no doubt incredibly great Ia
there any subject more important. therefore.
| than how to procure pure seedg We have
weeds enough without sowing them
