BREEDING FARM SToCK.-Hon. Harris
Lewis, President of the New York State
Agricultural Association, at a recent
meeting of the Central New York Farm
ers' Club, made the following remarks
upon the subject of Breeding Farm
Stock :"
81 believe that man must have con-
siderable gumption,' or judgment, If he
undertakes breeding animals. He must
have an object to breed at. If for the
show ring, he must cover every defect in
an animal with fat; if he breeds for
beef, he must breed for meat, and not
for bone; If he breeds for milk, he must
select from the very best breeding strains
and breed from them. A dairyman must
decide what branch he designs to follow
If for selling milk, he should breed Hol-
stein; the Lord waters their milk enough.
If for scanty pasture or hillside / would
breed Ayreshires; they will obtain food
where no other breed can except Devon.
II for butter, the cows must be selected
for butter not necessarily much milk,
but full of butter. For all purposes
butter, cheese, milk, or afterward for
beef-the shorthorns and their grades
are best. / believe farmers meet with
great loss by keeping the wrong kind of
swine. The Chester whites ought to live
where corn is more plenty than here.
We ought to breed the kind that will
produce the most meat and the least ofial
from the food. We have three breeds OF
this kind, the Suffolk, the Essex, and the
Berkshire. As TO sheep, If the grower
can combine wool and mutton it is pay
ing business. The breeding system that
prevails among dairymen is very wrong.
They generally breed from any scrub
bull which is available. This is wrong
The qualities to breed at should always
be in mind. We want type which will
transmit characteristic qualities to the
offspring. Thus the valuable points are
perpetuated, and this must be done with
intelligent skill. A noodle setting up

Sketch OF a Brave West Virginia

The Nav York HTuld Of Monday has
a long letter from the Rio Grando in
which occurs an account Of Capt Ne.
NalIy's daring raid into Mexico in pur.
suit Of the cattle thieves, and also an
interesting biographical sketch Of the
gallant Captain himself. His name i
Lee H. McNully, and he was born in
Brooke county, near Bethany, % years
ago, de was mere boy when he emf
grated to Texas and at the age OF II, on
the breaking out of the war, joined his
fortunes to the Confederate cause. He
greatly distinguished himself by acts Of
daring, for which he seemed to have a
special liking and adaptation, and at the
age Of l6, with only is men, managed by
daring ruse to capture Col. Duganne
with 1865 men and 100000 worth Of
property, at Bayou Bout Station, on the
Morgan, Louisiana & Texas Railroad,
This occurrence is related by Col. Du.

When the war closed Captain McNally
returned once more to Texas, where he
married at the age Of nineteen, and settled
in Washington county, by far the wealth
lest county in the State. His marriage
has been blessed with two children, Of
whom, as well as OF his wife, he speaks
in the tenderest terms. Captain McNal.
" raises no cattle, but has five hundred
acres Of cotton land under cultivation,
and, according to his voluntary acknOwl'
eiSement, is worth $4,000. The posi-
ton he occupies he attributes to desire
to enchance the prosperity OF his State
and the protection Of his fellow men,
But, without questioning his motives, |
suspect him to have a particular fond
ness for adventure, for he betrAys his ma
turC in the simple yet eloquent and ire
quently thrilling relations Of his daring
enterprises, and, besides, his expressions
otloye for a military ltie are positive. Al
though he has never been politician nor
occupied political position, he has fire..
