The color OF this breed is red or brown,
with a white and notified face some having
circles of iesh-color or yellow around the
ewes. and a white circle around the ears at
the insertion a streak of white along the
top of the neck to the shoulders; the under
part OF the throat White, and so continued
along the belly to the setting-on of the tail,
which should rather project. The legs are
also often white, or equal parts White and
brown, or red spotted, according to the col
or of the animal, mostly having a white tas-
sci at the end Of the tail.
The bulls, like those of Deyonshire, are
apt to be high and thick upon the neck,
which cannot be considered a blemish, it be-
ing peculiar TO thebull only, and is undoubt-
edly the effect OF health and high blood.
AS breeding is the first object with the
Hereforlshire farmer, the dairy, of course,
is not much considered, and the quantity of
milk that an individual cow may give is not
often ascertained. The calves are kept with
the COWS, and the farmer only attends to the
dairy as a convenience for his own family,
but it is said the average of a good dairy (of
which there are q few is about three cWt.

forty pounds per quarter, at six Or nine
weeks old. The COW, when fatted weigh
from nine to twelve score to the quarter,
sometimes from fifteen to sixteen. Oxen
from fifteen to eighteen Or twenty score to
the quarter. They have thin hides, and the
weight is proportional to the size OF the an
imal. There is a smaller breed Of cattle in
Herefordshire, which seems to be crossed
with some of the cnarser Welsh breeds, that
have a much harder and heavier hide than
the larger sorts, which shows their excel
lence in nothing so much as in having q fine
soft skin and small bone. Seven or eight
years back a good COW and calf were worth
from twelve to fifteen guineas, which at
present would fetch from eighteen to TWEEN

WOOL SUGGESTIONS.

1t will always be best for a farmer to pro-
duce wool of one sort Or the other. Wool
thar is neither one thing nor the other,
neither long nor short, will not usually COM
mand a satisfactory price so readily as if it
were the wool clipped from Merino sheep
or from the backs Of some long-wooled
breed. An intelligent dealer in wool as
sures us that good delaine wool should be at
least three inches in length, and be a round,
strong staple. The practice of buying wool
at an average PAIGE per pound, without re-
gard to its quality and condition, is paying
a premium for and encouraging the growth
OF poor and dirty wool, for grease and filth
cost but q tritie per pound compared with
choice, clean wool. Wool-growers who
raise wool above the average as to quality
and condition can do better than to sell it at
an average price by sending il to a reliable
commission merchant, where + will be sort
ed and sold according to its merits. This is
a safe and satisfactory way to sell good

The Eureka Sentinel tells the follow
ing story Of brief school examination
at Palisade:
While at Palisade recently We visited
the public school of that town, in COM
pany with A. E Kaye, County Superin-
tendent Of Schoolmarms. At the time
of our visit Miss Thompson. the teacher,
was hearing her class spell and define
words. The word publican" was given
out, and boy spelled it correctly and
defined il as a tax ga;herer; but the def
milton not being sufficiently explicit the
teacher called on the other scholars to
define it more at length. A little girl
held up her hand hesitatipg'y, hung her
head and whimpered out,
"Cap'n Rabbits, he gathers taxes here
in Palisade."
Then Captain Rabbits is publican,
is he?'
YES. ma NJ"
"And sinner. too. I suppose?'
"Yes, mann
ooh, yes; l know" called out little
boy in the Ear corner of the room, he's
q publican--a black publican"
Captain Rabbits is Deputy Sheriff for
PaIisade. and as such collects the taxes
there. When he heard the story which
is related above, he said he believed that
after all the system of popular education
was a mistake; that it tended to deprive
children of that due and proper respect
which they should entertain for official
position.

A System Of Sewerage.

We have often had occasion to express
regret .hA! in laying out the plat OF Car
son City its projectors did not locate the
place atont u half or three quarters OF a.
mile further W. 81 and North. This
would have given the town what now it
sadly lacks,-a sufficient drainage. A
very present need is an adequate system
of sewers. There is an abundant, never
failing supply of water coming into town
from the Sierra to furnish self cleans
ing t'owage: and the question is quite
seriuns one. 10 vi hat manner and direc-
ton is it best to build the common
sewer we need SO much? The question
of health, first; and that of cleanliness
and decency next. these are inseparabie
from the subject under discussion. The
frequent loss of valuable lives iu Eir-
giuia City from typhoid fever is evidence
of the presence ct poisonous drinking.

Hog Hollow. He carried the body on
the following night TO the Missouri river
