cate the farmers into the belief that a bull
which may not sell for more than from three
to five hundred dollars, OF account of its
unfashionable pedigree, is just as good to
breed for the butchers block as one which
the Spectator may hold ut ten thousand
dollars? The man who breeds for practical
purposes must not think of twenty-thou-
sand-dollar cows. These high-priced sales,
in which the hand of the manipulation is
plainly seen, are injuring the shorthorn IN
terest more than those imagine who take
only a surface view of the question. They

THE sHoRTH0RN RECORD.

1t will be gratifying to the friends Of this
thoroughly reliable Observation-Disclosures
to be the only one of the kind in America
that is trustworthy-to know that the next
volume Of the book will soon be ready for
delivery and will contain several hundred
pages more than the preceding volume. We
are confident that ere long the "O7nnibus"
man will, Of necessity, cease to try to carry
water OH both shoulders successfully, anf
after he does, will make up his mind to de-
vote his energies to what certainly ought to
be to him the agreeable task of keeping a
sort of loose record of grades. The young
breeders and beginners in the shorthorn
business, who feel the importance and value
of a reliable guide, are throwing all the
weight of their influence in favor of the
Recnrd, and the old breeders who fail to see
the direction in which events are pointing,
are at best only holding on to a sinking ship.

editorial recommending farmers to prepare
thoroughly and cultivate properly one acre,
and thus obtain a larger product than is
usually obtained from two acres. TO all of
this l give my cordial endorsement.
But, while this is true in c,altivating land,
is it not equally true in other branches of
farming? Take stock-raising. Is it not
better to raise one horse and get two hum
dred dollars for it, than to raise two and
only get two hundred dollars for both ? I'll
the first place YOU have hadA two mares to-
from and to keep, and the services of two
stations to pay for, and then you have had
the two colts to keep till they were sold
thus entailing double expense throughout.
Would it not have been better to have had
one good mare and raised one good colt
that would have been an honor and a credit
to the horse race, than to have had all the
trouble and expense of raising the two?
M this is the time to think of these mat
tiers. Some farmers will breed to the first
stallion within their reach-no matter how
much of a plug. If his services can be OBJ
tanned for a mere song, that is all he looks
to. He does not stop to ask from what fam
lily he is descended. what qualities he pos
sesses, whether he can go fast or slow,
whether he is sound or unsound, whether
his colts will sell for high Or low prices-but
how low can his services be obtained?

LAMBS.

Mr., Gentry, of Kentucky, asks Of Ken
tuckians a "way to dock lambs so as to
avoid their bleeding so much as to produce
an occasional death from bleeding" This
is an operation usually considered so trivial
that little is said or thought about it, yet as
it is usually performed regardless Of season,
ago, or mode OF operating, being often per-
formed by inexperienced Or careless boys or
men, it is frequently the cause, directly or
Indirectly, of injury to the lamb in various
ways, several of which result in DEATH. Al
though not a Kentuckian, we venture to
submit a few remarks on the subject, as we
deem it one worthy afeW moments,of study
by all sheep r~aisers, regardless of nativity.
The operation, as usually performed, is to
take hold of the tail near the point of am
putating, and with one stroke of the knife,
cut it off; the lamb. struggling at the same
time to get away, which is does, by the part
being cut off by which tits held, which is
the tail. IF you will catch the lamb and ex-
anime the stump" you will discover the
bone protruding beyond the surrounding
soft parts, perhaps half an inch. The hem
orrhage may be stopped by COMPRISING the
artery for a few minutes until the blood Co
agulates so as to, plug the bleeding vessel.
Itshould be watched, else the eve will, in
licking the blood off, disturb the clot and,
the hemorrhage will return. But if it es-
cape injury from bleeding too much, the
anxiety of the well informed shepherd will.
not stop here. Before the wound is healed,
that protruding bone will. either die and be
exfoliated, or else 1T will be covered. by the
slow process of granulabion, either way re-
quiring several weeks for its completion.

Jersey CATTLE.

If the value of Jersey stock is to rest ON
color, deterioration will surely follow of
those useful qualities that are so far n%oticea-
BILE in the good old-fashioned parti-colored
cow than that which will be found among
the generality Of fine, high-bred, whole-col-
ored fawns, grays, or foxy, so-called Jer-
seys. | have owned hundreds of acclimat-
ed Jersey stock and have never, as a rule,
found the whole colored such large produc-
ers as many of the parti-colored, but the
most ugly and ungainly beast of the lot, yet
her stock have never failed to show their
large butter-making qualities. The true
type of a Jersey cow is in fact an animal
that will not make meat. | do not say that
this is not improved upon, by acclimatizar
ton and a slight introduction OF a harder
breed, of which what are termed Chichester
Jerseys are the best description neither do
[ say that Jersey breeders in the island itself
have not in some instances a breed that
shows a disposition to make some flesh, and
very probably may then be following up the
requirements of fashion yet I maintain
that a pure Jersey should throw the bulk of
her feeding properties into butter, and with
little to flesh. The parti-colored good cow
may have but a white spot, especially under
the belly, but throughout the body the rich
yellow skin, under any colored hair, will be
found, black, white Or fawn. I have seen
the commencement of a whole-colored herd,
the property of a noble duke, to obtain
which | have seen the healthy and large
producing COW sold off to prevent an ami
mai with the slightest stain of that one color.
1 have heard from good authority that use
fulness has been sacrificed for fashion in this
instance, which, il followed up, as it rapidly
is, | have no doubt that the future rich Jer-
sey will be beef, not butter as it was.-E,g.

highest Tilden elector. If Congress
can go behind a certificate regularly
signed by recognized State authority,
the matter will be adjusted 70 give
Hayes what he is entitled to, namely,
the whole electoral vote of Oregon.
1t is amusing to note the conflict
ing attitude of the Democracy on the
situation. In the case Of the States
of Florida, Louisiana and South Car.
olina, many of their leaders maintain
that Congress shall go behind the
certificates of the regularly constitu.
ted State authority and examine the
case, but in the case of Oregon the
certificate of the State authority
must be taken just as it is presented.
They have queer way of applying
their doctrine of State sovereignty.
In one case the State is supreme, and
no power dare touch it, and in the
other case Congress is supreme and
State authority is nothing.
If this muddle will lead to a final
and Just settlement of these disput-
ed questions, the country will after
all be the great gamer by the cleo
ton of 1876.

The Standpoint from which the
Louisiana Board Of Canvassers
Acted.

The following statement, if read
cai efuly, will give the reader quite
a correct idea of the stand point
from which the Louisiana Canvass
ing Board acted.
The Returning Board of the State
OF Louisiana claims first of all that
under the provisions of law they are
returning officers of all elections held
in the State.
That their is in law and in fact no
returns of any election held in said
State until first examined, canvassed
and compiled by them
That statements furnished by the
Commissioners of Election are SIM
ply statements of votes purported to
have been cast, and that until the
fairness and legality of voting at
that poll or precinct have been pas
sed upon by the Returning Officers,
no validity attaches to any such
statements.
In strict compliance with the laws
of the United States andthe State
of Louisiana, the Returning Officers
have proceeded to examine, canvass
and compile statements of voters
purported to have been cast at the
general election, held November 7th
last.
The vote purported to be cast in
the parishes of Grant, and East Fe-
hciana have been ignored entirely in
the official canvass.
In Grant parish not one form of
law was observed
There were no legal supervisors
or commissioners of election. and the
vote taken was as informed as votes
taken on a railroad train.
In East Feliciana fhe returning
officers were unable to find one poll
at which, from evidence before fhem,
fhey could certify that a full, free
and fair election was had

A Great Discourtesy.

When the Democracy discovered
that the election for President was
close they set up the cry of Fraud
in South Carolina. Florida, and d.Lou
isiana. =" Well be cheated in those
States" they shouted.
Quick! let us send a committee
down there to look on when they
count the vote, to see how it is done.
The whole country partook in a
measure of their excitement.
President Grant also asked that
certain men take up the journey to
Louisiana to witness the canvas or
count of the vote; and thus two sets
OF men went to Louisiana to see the
vote counted. They had no legal
right IN that State, but they were
corrteously received.
The Democratic committee, as soon
as it was possible for it to do so, sent
dispatches OF the count to all parts
of the country, and when the work
was done, it had part of the work
OF the Canvassing Board, such as the
face vote of the returns, published
al over the country wherever the
printers would publish them
Not SO with the Republican com
mittee. They took up their report,
with the evidence of systemasized
intimidation that existed for weeks
before the election, that prevented
thousands from voting as they con-
scientiously desired to do, and came
on to Washington, and did what the
other committee should have done,
handed their report to the President
OF the United States, so that he
could Law the whole matter before
Congress.
1: was a monstrous breach of cou--
tesy to not hand their report over to
the President, so that he could have
presented the two reports to Congress
for it's consideration, and so that the
two could have been printed, and con-
sidered together by Congress
President Grant submitted the Ie-
port that he received Immediately to
the Senate, the body to receive such
reports, and that body, as is the Gus
tom, ordered the report to be printed
And then the Democracy of the
Senate threw itself into a most ludi-
crous position, that of opposing the
printing of the report, and condemn
ing the President because the report
of the Democratic committee did not
accompany it
1t is 4 mild expression to say that
it was great discourtesy to the
President to not send their report to
him for presentation to Congress.
and the country will know how to
express the condemnation of the men
who now censure Grant for not do
ing what they would not let him do,
by keeping their report out of his
hands.
