The Breeding of Thoroughbred Stock.

From the Country 0cuNcmanl
Common farmers who keep naught but
common grade cows, have much to say about
the poor milking properties of the pure breed.

but it must be rccollectcd that anything but

dam with no bad points, and was genuine
mixer, giving quantity with quality; then,
having arrived at O state as near perfection
as is possible to approach, invite the public
not only TO buy, but to come and see the
whole herd, having one day in the year for
the occasion, when the inspection might take
place--say from eleven to one---refreshments
and lunch, with appropriate business like
speeches and some pleasant toosts from one
till three when sale of extra stock by auc-

a general custom in England particularly
among the sheep breeders, and is found to

which will compare iayorably with other first
rate thorough-breds, there Is no doubt but Il
would save vast deal Of trouble at all other
seasons Of the year
If, ON such an occasion, an account of the
butter made from the cows could be produced,
showing results superior to any attained by
grade cows and some of the COWS were
MIXED there before the company, the fame Of
such breed would spread, aud each success

make such prices without taking similar steps

II is absurd to say that We are producing
enough for home consumption and for export
alton too. Many and many a poor family
have given up butter and sugar and Juicy
meat within these last eight years. The fact
that paper dollar is but two-thirds of a
gold dollar cannot account for provisions be-
ing two or three times their Former price.
No, the real trouble is, that the american

cause he is physically undoyelopol, and,
therefore physically lazy; partly because
farming Is lonely aud stupid, and without any

because farming Kills his wife, takes all the

GENTLr UrTERANoE. - When a boy OF
fourteen, following plow, drawn by oxen,
our father said the first day Of work, " Let
Us see who can talk the lowest to Buck and
Bright il isn'l the sound that makes the
team 60, but the understanding that springs
up between driver and team" The thing
was new to our ears. We had always heard
the "woa haw, Buck" or the won haw,
Bright given in tones Of bawling only, and
had grown to the belief that bawling was the
only way Of driving. But little experieuc
on the low keys showed that an OK dumb and
slow as some call him, had not only show
Of intellect, but also Of the proprieties Of
his position. Buck aud Bright answer as
well to few words quietly spoken as to the
many yociforated.
