What Is n Butter Bull!

A correspondent of the Piouglmdn writes
as follows on this topic "A bull is called
Butter Bull when the dams Of his family
have been great butter producers, and
especially when his own dam and grand
dam, and still better, the dam and grand
dam of his sire, have been distinguished in
that way.
"Jersey cows, as a breed, are celebrated
for their buttermaking qualities but there
is great difference amongst them in that
respect, and great danger that the breed will
deterioratc by indiscrimnate breeding and
the raisngo Of all heifer calves without regard
to the character of their dams. Hence the
effort that is being made by thoughtful
breeders to encourage the pratice of selec-
ton, especially 10y the use ola Butter Bull
awe have case in point, to illustrate
what is meant in the bull calf Royal Duke
of Ipswich O500) now fifteen months old !;
five hundred dollars was paid for him the
day he was dropped, without regard to fancy
or fashion in color, and this because his
dam, imported Duchess GOD, had rec
ord of fourteen pounds per week, and her
cali, Young Duchess record of fifteen
pounds The dam of his sire Pilot, Jr,
and of his grand sire Pilot, had an equally
good record. Such breeding produces But
ter Bulls, and such a system Of selection,
carefully and perseyeringly followed, will
maintain the supremacy of the jersey COW
in the butter dairy"

southern counties Of Scotland Ayrshire is
in the pca Of Scotland1 procured COWS OF
some English or Dutch breed, much larger
than any others then in Scotland; and when
these were well fed on sheltered aud i'm

than the native cows. But rhen these large

experience with the large imported breeds
here in Vermont?
Mr.. Alton thinks these large cows, though
sometimes called Dutch were really Of the
Teeswater breed, the same from which has
sprunc the improved Shorthorus of England
At any rate, he says, they were Of a brown
and white color. \ similar COW was brought
into Ayrshire in l7GO, and " as they were
provided with the best pasture" they soon
became popular with the best daiymen.
Others of these brown and white cattle we're
brought to different farms, and by crossing
the bulls upon the native cows, improve
ment began to be generally seen, clere
good care and taediHg ccre nat neglected.
And as these calves were larger and hand
somer than the common stock, and when
duly fed the females yielded much more
milk, the bulls were preferred to al
others" says Mr.. Alton. So that to the use
Of grade bulls, mainly, we owe what blood "
has done to make the Ayrshire COW. But
not without good feeding and care. From
these" says he, " or from crosses othen r'm
The noi;re cocs, the whole district has been
stocked, and the breed has attained such eel
ebrty that they have not only supplied the
counties of Ayr, Renfrew, and the greatest
part Of Ianark, but for about twenty years
past colonies of this improved breed have
been carried from Ayrshire to every county Of
Scotland, aud TO many counties of England.
O, farmers Of Vermont will yo bel blind TO the
sources Of wealth here revealed to your eyes ?
Wealth greater, more enduring and more
certain than ever came 10 us from sheep
breeding, or any other form Of hnsbandry
yet developed among us. Why cannot we
invest our Yankee wit our Yankee industry,
our Yankee prudence, our Yankee energy, in
the development of the " Vermont Dairy
Cow" as well adapted to American pastures
and the American climate as the Ayrshire
is to the climate of Britain
In another article we propose to continue
our quotations from this practical old Scotch
mans book, particularly with the view Of
showing how every famermay have his par
in this work, and how it cannot be effected
simply in the hands of the fancy farmers,
but must result from a general, intelligen
cooperation of many.

Three or four years after the war Of 1872
an American frigate was lying in the harbor
of Rio JaneirO. There were several English
men-ol-war in port, and the older officers
were careful TO prevent collisions between
the sailors of the different ships One fine
day the guuners of n British ship of the line
got permission TO exercise the great guns by
firing at mark A large hogshead was
anchored at a suitable distance, about two
miles of and the British sailors fired their
best at it.
Some dozen shots had been fired, aud the
mark was not hit. With the aid of glass
il could be seen that some Of the balls fell
near it, while Others fell short or struck a
long way off. There were large number Of
ships in port, and the gunnery practice at
tracted general attention, and many sarcas-
tic comments were made upon the msldll-
ful firing of John Bull
The Yankee sailors were much excited,
and their own superior gnnnery was loudly
asserted. At last one of the experts OF the
| frigate, unable TO control himself, implored
the commander TO let him have one crack

ordered to quarters.

Complaint was Immediately made to the
commanding officer, and the troops were
paraded before the Frenchman, who singled
out the offender, a court-martial was held,
and the criminal was condemned to die ON
the following morning. At four o'clock the
whole of the allied army was assembled in the
Bots de Boulognc, near Paris, where the pris-
oner was to undergo the sentence. The
charge upon which he had been tried and
convicted was read alond. Not a murmur
ran through the ranks. The Justice Of the
decree was acknowledged by every soldier;
and if the short lapse Of time between the
offence and its solemn expiation excited feel

for the stern justice of their commander
