The Breeding of Thorougb-brep
~ Stock.

= -
Common farmers who keep naught but
common grade cows, have much to say
about the poor milking properties of the
pure breeds of cattle. which to certain
extent, is true, but il must be recollected
that anything but milk has been the end
aimed at by the generality of breeders in
one breed, beef has been the desideratum
in another, the ability to produce fine
style of oxen for work; while in the
Attorney, which has no recommendation
but for milk, there is danger of more at
tention being paid to most ridiculous
marks than to the possession of the yalua-
BILE quality which these marks are said to
indicate.
Let breeder of any herd keep quiet
for few years-cull out every inferior
animal annually-raise only from such
cows as have all the desirable characters
tics, and use bull always which he
knows came from a dam with no bad
points, and was genuine mixer, giving
quantity with quality; then, having
arrived at state as transportation a.
is possible to approach, invite tho 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 appro-
pirate business-like speeches and some
pleasant toasts, from one till three, when
q sale Of extra stock by auction might fol-
low, and be made q regular means of dis
posing of the surplus animals as increase
rendered disposal necessary. It lisa general
custom in England, particularly among
the sheep breeders, and II found TO work
well, and, II tried In herd of cattle
which will compare favorably with other
first rate thoroughbred, there il no doubt
but it would save vast deal Of trouble

PEAS INSTEAD OF Corn. - Canada
farmers use peas instead Of corn to fatten
their hogs, and they make very firm and
sweet pork.
A writer IN the Rural New Yorker says
he planted last year two and a half acres
in peas seed nine bushels. Land fair
but very weedy. Sold green peas to the
amount of S13. Fed to two hogs and
five pigs seventy-eight dollars worth, and
has on hand forty bushels, worth eighty
dollars, making the whole crop worth
Sill; deducting the seed, SlS, leaves
value of crop, S153. He began to feed
in July, and fed in August, September,
October and November, whereas his corn
would not have been ripe enough to feed
till October and November. 1t is easier
to fatten pork in warm weather. He
thinks bushel of peas in September
worth two of corn in November. The
peas can be grown ON soil too poor or too
foul to give good return in corn, are
more easily raised and harvested, make
solid, sweet pork, and the straw greatly
improves the quality of the MANURE
mixed with other grain it is the best food
for horses he ever used. He soaks the
peas twenty-four hours in water, when
the hogs eat them greedily and fatten
rapidly. Peas were formerly raised to a
considerable extent by New England far
mers, and ground up with oats, 60, for
pig "provender."
