PREcoc1TY OF SHEEp.-The question Of
the precocity of sheep has been for some
time under discussion, in respect to the
breed. M. Salson, Professor Of Zoology, at
the Agricultural College at Grignon, be-
lieves it possible to develop in the pure mer-
mos, the alleged precocity of the dishley-
merino, or any variation of that type, name
ly, forty-six pounds of meat in fourteen
months. Precocity, NJ. Sauson defines to
be, the rapid unity of the bones, and the
quick development of the permanent teeth,
and that an animal is more or less preco-
cious, in proportion as it possesses its adult
teeth the consequence follows, that there
will be greater activity in the processes of
nutrition, in the sense that the animal
will be able to assimilate a larger quantity
Of ailments, thereby acquiring weight, which
is the test Of precocity. At Grignon the
sShropshire Downs" display greater pre-
cocity than the %Southdowns, at whose side
they live, and onsum a larger daily ration.
But weight for weight Of food, there is 10
perceptible difference in the "pound of
flesh" produced, and that production is the
practical test Of every animal machine

received as service fees. The fee has been
raised and he is limited to a small number OF
mares. In 1864 and 1865 he served 4lo
mares which produced 276 foals.
He was never trained, except for a very
short time. His time is not extraordinary,
showing 2 As in a trial. He is a fine and
rich bay in color. He stands about TWO
inches lower at the withers than at
the hips. His name has entirely dis
appeared, and his tail is growing thin.
He is in good health, and apparently good
for service for several years to come. This
is another notable instance of a valuable
horse being procured at a small fraction OF
his intrinsic value.

THE COW.

The COW, like the horse, was probably
brought to the shores of the Mediterranean
from Central Asia at the period Of the Asy-
rian emigration. In Egypt, as in India, the
OK was a sacred animal-an object of wor-
ship, and the pictures in the monuments
and Egypt point clearly to the Brahmin
species, as that used in the early days of
principal dependence among the Oriental
nations, and even the Greeks and Romans
appear to have used no other animal in the
cultivation of the soil. The pillow and the OK
are always associated in sacred and classical
history. Milk and butter were articles of
diet that were Indispensable, even in the
pastoral age, which preceded the agricultu-
raj civilization of the human race. The flesh
OF these animals was always in high repute
as an article of diet, and it will probably
maintain its reputation as long as animal
TODD is used by man. There are some ten
species Of the bovine family, nine of which
belong to the Eastern Continent and one to
the Western. Our cattle, both in Europe
and America, are. derived from a species
found native in Gaul and Germany. They
are both better and larger mixers than
those derived from the Branmin species,
anu though stronger as work animals, they
are not SO active. The American species,
represented by the buffalo of the plains, has
not, to any great eXtert, been domesticated.
