The Ayrshircs rs Mixers.


Howard s. Collins, of Colinsvlc, Conn,
furnishes the Practical Farmer an in.
teresting account as to how he came to
select the Ayrshires as mixers. In
1856 he commenced farming on poor
neglected hillside farm. Of one hundred
and fifty acres, that, at the time, suppos-
ed only six head, of stock. He began
by keeping six head. soiling them in sum-
mer, and steaming food for them in win
ter, and every year taking up some poor
land to be thoroughly cleared, MANFRED,
and seeded down again. The editor of
the Duchess Farmer states that he has
visited this farm, and though beautifully
situated, has rarely seen a more unpromis-
ing field for testing the merits of high
farming. There are few men who have
studied agriculture more thoroughly than
Mr.. Collins, or who have carried to the
task of renovating we might almost say
creating a farm, greater skill, system, en-
ergy, perseverance and science, and he
deserves his success. On this farm he
now keeps fifty head of cattle and three
horses. He has tried the Natives, grade
Devons, grade Ayrshires, and has finally
decided that for his purpose )sclli ng milk
the year round,) the latter one the most
profitable for him to keep. Mr.. Collins
is very careful and systematic mau,
keeping an exact account of every COW
on the farm, and his statement is of great
weight

The Past Winter.

Southern New England and the Middle
States have suffered severely from the in.
tense cold, drouth and absence of snow
that has marked the past winter in those
sections. Not only is the grass killed,
but trees, both ornamental and fruit
bearing, have died in great numbers.
Evergreens, especially have persisted by
the million, and even the hardest, such
as the Norway spruce and arbor vitae
white CEDAR suffered badly. In Pros
pect, Central and other parks in and
around New York, and in the gardens on
Long Island, the loss is estimated at
millions Of dollars. New Jersey, central
New York, Ohio, &C., all tell the same
story,
Some Of the largest nurseries have lost
more than half Of their stock of trees.
Strawberries have also suffered terribly,
and it is the judgment of the most exper-
fenced horticulturists that nearly one-half
of the cultivated strawberry vines in New
England were killed by the severe winter.
In Vermont the injury has been con-
fined mainly to the extreme southern part
of the state, and the lower portions Of the
Champlain Valley. The loss there has
been considerable, as VIC learn from our
correspondents. In the north and the
greater part of the Connecticut Valley,
little harm has been done. Our own
grounds and nursery came through in fiue
order, much better than last year, and
we hear of little injury to grass due tc
the effects of the winter Vernon

Dominique Fowls.

The London Field says of this variety
which it denominates American
There are two or three useful and good
breeds of poultry that are not well known
in England. One Of the Oldest establish
ed, and certainly one Of the most useful,
is the Dominique. This breed more close
ly resembles our Cuckoo Dorking than
any other English variety. 1t differs,
however, in having only four toes-a
great advantage by the way, in practical
point of view-and in the legs being
yellow. Each feather is of light gray,
barred across with darker slaty-blue bars
or pencilings. The Dominique cocks are
snowy birds, with full saddles and hack
les, and abundant, well matched sickle
feathers. They should weigh from six
to eight pounds when mature. As table
fowls, they should necessarily be short
legged, tullchested, and broad in the
back. The ear lobe should be red, and
the wattles and comb neat the former Of
medium size. The merits of this breed
will recommend them to persons residing
in the country, as well worthy Of promo
ton in the poultry.yard, whether as max
ers Of eggs, or of meat, as sitters or nurses,
they are invaluable.
