Improvement in Cattle.

[ am fully convinced, after more than
thirty years experience in cattle raising and
fatting, and after all the improvements in
the cattle stock Of my own State. that, with
reasonable attention to the subject and the
same care that has been bestowed upon
sheep and horses, with such an outlay for
improved bulls as the Importance of the
question demands, that the results in the
aggregate would astonish the most ncrcdu-
lous
The question whether there is or may be
produced a breed of sheep, adapted both to
the raising of wool and mutton, is an open
one TO the minds of many mon but when
we consider the question Of Il breed of cattle
(for Vermont, at least) we should not look
for beef alone, nor milk alone, but that
breed which combines the two. My eX-
perience in breeding cattle has been confn-
ed to Il few families of Durhams and enough
of the Devon, Hereford and Ayrshire, to
test their qualities and after testing them
to my satisfaction | am convinced that nei-
thcr of the aforementioned breeds combine
the two qualities that render cattle valuable
to as great degree as the Duchess or Bates
stock of Durhams.
have MIXED from IS to / 10 cows for the
last few years, composed of about one-half
high grade and pure bred Durham the
other natives and grades of the other breeds
named. l find the Durham to far exceed
the native and other breeds in milking
qualities, and when fatted the difference is
still more apparent, especially when COM
pared with the natives.
| have neither bulls nor heifers for SALE
and am breeding none for sale, but feel that
something ought to be done to improve
the cattle of our country, and if there is
anything in this communication that You
think may tend to aid the cause, please use
it as you think best. Vermont is not so far
behind her neighbors in cattle as many sup
pose. | think our cattle, in point Of blood,
are fully up to the celebrated State of Hi
nois. where I spent considerable time in
1862 and 1868, and was astonished to see
how few the improved cattle were when
compared with the light, short, sharp-back-
ed native. | purchased in 1862 twelve
hundred steers in Observation-Disclosures
being in La Sale county and some of them
were driven 300 miles to the farm where
they were all grazed, which gave me good
opportunity to judge of the cattle, and |
must say they fell far short Of the estimate
| had formed of thcm.-Elra Mech, Shell

How cyrus Laid the Cable.
ny JOHN q. SAKE.

Come, listen all unto my song;
IL is no silly fable;
IT'S all about the mighty cord
They call tho Atlantic Gable.
Bold Cyrus Field he said, said he,
have pretty notion
That can run telegraph
Across the Atlantic Ocean.
Then all the people laughed, and said,
Thev'd like to see him do 1t;
He might get hali-seas-over, but
He never could go through 1t;
To carry out his foolish plan
He never would be able;
He might as well 60 hang himself
With his Atlantic Cablel
But Cyrus was n valiant man
A fellow of decision;
And needed not their knocking words,
Their laughter and derision.
Twice did his bravest efforts fail,
And yet his mind was stable;
He wasn't the man to break his heart
Because he broke his cable.
"Once more, my gallant boys!" he cried,
"Three times You know the fable
Ill make it hirtB" muttered he,
"But will lay the cable!"
Once more they tried--hulrah hurrah!
What means this great commotion?
The Lord be praisedl the cables laid
Across the Atlantic Ocean!
Loud ring the bells-for flashing through
Six hundred leagues of water,
Old mother Engand's benson
Salutes her eldest daughter.
Der all the land the tidngs speed,
And soon in every nation,
They'll hear about the cable with
Profoundest admiration
Now long live James, and long live Vic,
And long live gallant Cyrus;
And may his courage, faith and zeal
With emulation fire us;
Aud may we honor cvermore
The manly, bold and stable;
And tell our sons, to make them brave,
How Cyrus laid the Cablcl
