Bhpldgen, Esq, of Geneva, being about |
40 heaJD for the round sum Of $4,000. |
Nov these cattle sold, have all proha'
biz been raised within ten years. How
much inoredid 1t cost to raise them than
tlcstme number of common cattle of
tlcsune age, which, at previous prices
wouIl hardly sell for more than s2,OoO.
Ihi- herd, probably, did not eat so much
IN bail. ms common cattle, because they
were always kept in high condition,
md .., cXtra feed and care which they
hays had is mere trihe, compared to
thu extra prizes for which they have
ben sold. on most large farms, this
eNtr. care and feed could be given to
cattle as well as not. The want OF en-
tcrur.sa and ambition to do things III
The best manner, this is the most proh-
table manner, causes most of the iall-
ur,s ufcminent success among farmers.
IT,. .ule teaches the Importance OF DO
ing wul.ever you do, we'll and thorough
lvIi you would realize the most proit
Z n yUur labor.
How many farmers are there in New
England, who keep from 70 to 100 head
u. ub cattle, which eat more than
NJ. rhurne's 40 head, and the whole
100 head will not sell for one-tOurth as
mu.uus Mr.. Thorn's 80 head of blood
cattle. Now our farmers, who keep
cattle on large scale, can have blood
ca..leus well as scrubs, if they will only
muAg an effort; and if they will give
su.A Extra feed and care to their cattle,
rs llr Hhorne did, every dollar inves-
TED will yield 20 fold more profit, every
pound oI hay and grain becomes 20 fold
mu.u valuable.
Euyy one animal he made the most of
brought Mr.. Thorne $1,000. Tho cost
OF tine extra care and feed bears no pro-
norton whatever to the extra price !;
therefore there was little fortune made
III raising this 10 head of blood cattle in
lc-- lhan ten years. How much net
prof. could Mr. Thorne have made rais-
iug 10 head of common cattle in these
ten year.? ? Not over S5O0-but by breed
ing blood cattle in their stead, he has
made net profit Of about $4,000. So
much Tor doing things bodily, and in
the very best manner on the farm gem
cruiy.
A farm which will keep 20 head OF
scrubs, will grow feed enough TO feed 90
head Of blood cattle, rs high as Mr..
Thrnc fed his 20 head. And that extra
care which Mr.. T. gave his cattle every
farmer can give his cattle ifhe will-be-
cause when the thing is done thorough
IT, the cattle will amply not only pay
iucu.l extras but 80 large Il profit as to
m.Ae such extras, advisable; also, hell
enough 10 free, clean, etc
Now, farmers, consider this success o.

THE SECRETARY WANTS BRITISH COLUMBIA.
The Washington correspondent Of the BoS-
ton Post, telegraphs follows
Since my dispatch Of Monday last stating
that another international land purchase was
on the tapis at the State Department, | have
been enabled to learn with accuracy the fol-
lowing in relation thereto. From the time
of the advent of the Derby administration to
power in England down 10 the present day.
negotiations have been pending between the
Colonial Secretary Of Great Britain and the
State Department for the purchase 10y the
United States of large portion of British
America. Mr.. Seward : propositions have
been to buy up all of that tract of the British
Possessions living west of the longitude of the
Mississippi River. thus giving to this coun-
try unbroken right of way to the newly ac-
quired territory of Russian America. Not
withstanding these negotiations have been
pending so long, it is only Of late that they
may be said to have reached a point where
even the preliminary treaty could be named
One of the prominent difficulties encountered
was the question of including Nancouver's
Island in the transfer, Her Maicsty's Gov
eminent desiring to retain that point for Il
naval station. More recently, the English
Government, through Lord Stanley. has met
the proposal to purchase with renewed inter
est, and one Of the prominent dcsideratums
put forward by Secretary Seward has been Il
proposition to make our Alabama claims. in
some degree, one of the offsets to the purchase
money hereafter to be determined. Not one
word of these negotiations has vet been per-
mittcd to escape the State Department, and
it is supposed that Secretary Seward relies
greatly upon the success of the Russo mcri-
can treaty to insure the ratification of this
approaching bargain with Great Britain.
The former territory would be literally left
out in the cold unless the intermediate tracts
became our own.
The Hartford Coudnf of yesterday says:
- 1t is reported that the next tract of land
upon which Mr.. Secretary Seward will try
hIs new fledged power o. annexation will be
Lower California. Mr.. j Ross Browne, who
has happy faculty of stripping all the sub
iects which he treats of their thorns and of
making them exhibit only their roses, Is now
exploring the region. with the view of making
such 4 report will favor the Secretary :
policy As soon as Macmillan is we'll out of
Mexico, or perhaps before. Il strong pressure
for the eession of this rocky peninsula will
be brought to bear upon the Juarcz Govern
mcnt. The demand to be made Will include
both sides of the mouth of the Rio Colorado.
in order to give Arizona a port on the Cult
Of California OF course, Mexico is to re-
ceive compensation for this loss Of territory
in the shape of some millions of hard cash
which. it is supposed, will be very acccpta-
bic to the needy Liberal Government of that
country. Mr.. Seward will buy up the whole
hemisphere, from the glaciers of Greenland
to the volcanoes Of Terra del Fuego, if he
only lives long enough, and the credit of the
Nation holds out
