LOCOMOTIVE DEPARTMENT, WESTERN DIVISION, !
ROCHESTER,, Dec. "a, 1866. !
GENTLEMEN have no hesitation in saying that
believe the great majority of locomotive engineers
have found by experience that WALTHAM WATCHES
ARE THE MOST SATISFACTORY of any for their uses.
They run WITH THE GREATEST ACCURACY AND
srEADINEss, notwithstanding tie rough riding of
an engine, and, as have NEVER KNOWN ONE TO
WEAR OCT, they must be durable. hope to see
the time when railway companies will generally
adopt your watches, and furnish them to all engi-
neers and conductors. In my opinion it would
greatly tend to promote regularity and safety.
Yours respectfully,

best for the purpose. Unfortunately,
we have few OF these excellent breed
ing sowa in the country; they have
been iattened and sent to market to
secure the high prices which large
hogs have lately commanded. We are
lett with only young, and consequently
somewhat interior stock to breed from.
We can not expect from them either
80 large filters, or pigs of so good
qnality as we could obtain from older
animals.
Now it is obviously for the interest
of farmers to devote more care and
attention to the breeding of pigs dur
mo the next season. There is too little
attention paid by farmers to this mat
ter. A SOW al pigging time, is often
left without sufficient care, and the
consequence is, the cntir litter is lost.
The farmer often seems to regard this
as quite an unimportant matter, as he
thinks it will require out few months
time to raise another litter. Every
farmer should also save as efficient
Of his best breeding sows
every fall, even if the price OF pork Is
higher than it promises to be the sue
ccedine year. He should, in short, de-
vote all the care to feeding hogs that
he now gives to breeding horses and
horned cattle. A little OF the zeal
which poultry fanciers are showing
lust now, would do much to bring UP
he quality and number OF hogs in the
West. The hog crop has long been
our most important crop in many To-
.alities. and we can not afford to lose
,ur ancient prestige in this respect.

Varieties Of MIX .

As far ~ we know, no nation uses
the milk OF any carnivorOus animal.
+ ere is no reason for believing that
the milk of this order OF animals would
either be disag;ecable or unwholesome
but the feroclty and restlessnees OF the
creatures will always present an OBJ
s,a,le to the experiment. The differ
cnt milks Of those animals with which
we are acquainted agree in their chem
ical qualities, and is confirmed by the
fact that other animals besides man
can be nourished in infancy by tbs
milk Of every distinct species. ltats
and leverets have been sucked by
cats, tawns by ewes toals by goats,
and man, in all stages OF his existance,
has been nourislled by the milk OF
various animals, except the carnivo-
rous. The milk of the mare is inferior
i'll oily matter to that ofthe COW, but
it is said to contain more sugar and
other salts. The milk Of the eve is
as rich as that OF the COW in oil, but
contains less sugar than that Of other
animals. Cheese made OF ewe-milk is
st.ll made in England and Scotland,
but is gradually beng disused The
milk OF an ass approaches that OF hi
man milk in several OF its qualities. To
this resemblance it owes its use by in
valids in pulmonary complaints, but it
has no particular virtue to recommend
its preference. and is only prescribed
by nurses Goats milk perhaps stands
next TO that OF the COW in its qualities;
it is much used in Southern Europe. 1t
affords excellent cheese and butter, its
cream being rich, and more copious
than that from cows. Cancels milk ID
employed in China, Africa, and, in
all those countries where the animal
tiourishes. 1t is, however, poor in
every respect, bu. still, being milk, it
is Invaluable where butter is not to be
procured. The milk of the SOW re-
sembles that of the COW, and is used
at Canton and other parts OF China

GROWING ROOT CROPS.

In a recent lecture by Professor
periam, OF the Illinois University
Farm, the following remarks were
made which, though intended more
especially for prairie farms are still
made applicable to other localities. He
said:
To the owner OF but few acres who
desirs to fatten as much stock a. pos.
sible, and who wishes to keep mp the
fertility Of his land, these crops are
particularly valuable.
A proper rotation on farm OF .
quarter section or less is as follows,
allowing one halt to be always in
meadow or pasture; Twenty acres may
lie devoted to root crops, divided as
follows: Ten OF bects, five OF rataba-
gas and turnips, three OF potatoes, and
two Of parsneps and carrots, the two
latter to be led to horses and mich
cows twenty acres to wheat or barley,
twenty to corn, and twenty to other
small grain. In this rotation the ma.
nure should be applied to the corn
land and to the sod before blowing tor
the root crop. The next season break
up fresh twenty acres Of meadow for
root crops, and plant wheat where
roots were raised the previous year,
and the other grains in their order,
seeding the last twenty acres with
grass, so that regular succession OF
roots, wheat, corn, oats or rye, and
meadow follow each other, and will
guarantee that If all these crops, ex-
cept wheat, harley and pota, oes, arc
fell to stock and the manure saved and
applied to the soil, that the yield in
ordinary seasons will be from 100 to
200 tons Of hay or its equivalent il:
m, adow, $1,000 bushels beets, 5000
: bushels rutxbagas or turnirs, 600 to
800 bushels OF potatoes, and 800 bush.
, els each of carrots and parsneps
: which, if fed to stock, should produce
!, 10000 pounds OF beet, pork or muttol
= which, at five cents per pound, would
q amount to $4,000 per almum, beside,
q the potato crop.
: To the owner of from one to fv,
acres this succession of root crops il
= especially valuable. The feeding o
y carrots is made more valuable by feed

The milk Of the buffalo il also like that
Of the COW, though the two animals
belong to different species. Every
preparation OF milk and every separ-
ate ingredient Of it is wholesome
milk, cream, butter, cheese, fresh curds,
whey, skimmed-milk, etc. Butter and
whey will undergo q spontaneous
vinous fermentation, if kept long
enough, and alcohol can be distilled
from it. The Tartars, it is well known,
prepare quantities of spirituous drink
from mares milk.
