The POLAR BEARS CUNNING.-Accord-
Ing to the Esquimaux, the seal constructs its
abode beneath the surface of the ice in such
manner that it can enter it from the water
below, here the young seal passes its in
fancy, and when the returning heat of sum-
mer has destroyed its igloo or dwelling, the
young seal is old enough to take care of it's
elf; but this mode of lodging its young be-
meath ice is we'll known to the bear, who,
with his keen scent, soon detects the where
abouts of the seals nursery, and in order to
gain entrance makes spring and comes
down heavily on the top of the igloo, crushes
it in, and Immediately seizes the young seal
with its paw. Here it might be supposed
the hungry bear devours its prey; but no, it
is far too wary to do so; it knows full well
that where baby is, there must of necessity
be mother, and that she will be in search
of her darling; therefore the bear scrapes
the snow away from the young seal by the
fippsrs, allows it to founder about, and
when the mothers approaches, the bear
slyly draws the young seal toward it until
the one b within reach, when he seizes her
with the other paw, and thus captures
both.

The FARMER AND THE LIoN.-A Lion
entered one day into farm-yard, and the
Farmer, wishing to catch him shut the gate.
When the Lion found that he could not get
out, he began at once to attack the sheep,
and then betook himself to the oxen. So
the Farmer afraid for himself now opened
the gate, and the Lion made off as fast as
he could. His wife, who had observed It
all, when she saw her husband. in great
trouble at the loss of his cattle, cried out
"You are rightly served; for what could
have made you so mad as to wish to detain
a creature, whom, if you saw at distance,
you would wish further off,"
Better scare thief than snare him.

Our farmers must learn TO practice econ
omy by saving, not wasting, the coarser
kinds offarm produce which have to great
extent been considered of little or no value.
More root crops should be grown, aud the
straw stack utilized instead of being left to
cot down for manure, as is still done over
large extent of country. Let the steam
boiler be set up and be more extensively
used for preparing food for stock, and bet
terresults will surely follow, especially in the
older States, where all kinds farm produce
command good prices. Few farmers seem
to know how little food will keep an animal
healthy and in good flesh, If the little is put
in the animals use and not pass off undigest.

JERSEY CATTLE.

If the value of Jersey stock is to rest on
color, deterioration will surely follow of
those useful qualities that are far more no.

ored cow than that which will be found
among the generality of fine, high-bred,
whole-colored fawns, grays, OR foxey, So
called, Jerseys. have owned hundreds of
acclimated Jersey stock, and have never, as
rule, found the whole-colored such large
producers as many parti-colored ones in
fact, by far the most butter-producing cow |
ever possessed was not only parti-colored,
but the most ugly and ungainly beast of the
lot, yet her stock have meyer failed to show
their large butter-making qualities.
The true type of Jersey cow is, in fact,
an animal that will not make meat. [ do
not say that this is not improved upon by
acclimatization and slight Introduction of

Mr.. Morris Griffin, an experienced cattle
breeder of Tennessee, thus classified the diff
ferent breeds of cattle as to relative merits
The Jersey the butter breed; the Devon a
beef or fancy breed; the Shorthorn and
Hereford the beef producing breeds; Aver
shire and Holstein the milk and cheese pro-
ducing breeds.
Those who want to improve their herds
by the introduction of Shorthorn blood will
find their profit in leaving the speculator
alone, and dealing only with those legiti-
mate breeders who are content to sell at
home. and willing to give the name of the
breeders to every animal in their catalogue
when they do have a sale. That the short
horn is the most valuable race of cattle we
have for feeding purposes is generally ad-
mitted. But what is needed is more care in
selection and breeding irrespective OF pedi-
gree so long rs purity of blood is attained.
Prairie Farmer.
The New England Homestead, referring
to the comparative advantages of raising
scrub cattle or improved stock, says: .sWe
assert, and invite anyone to controvert our
position, that grades will weigh more than
scrubs at any age; that they will always
command higher price per pound; that
they cost less to feed than scrubs, and that if
necessary they will do with equally little at
tention, and therefore that a Shorthorn bull
for crossing purposes is a safe and wise i'll
vestment for any farmer to make.''

The american Agriculturist says: A mark
ed improvements noticeable in the quality of
sheep which come to the markets. Whole
f1ocks Of sheep, which will average over one
hundred pounds may now be seen in the
pens in place Of poor animals weighing but
sixty to seventy pounds. This is the effect
of the ranid Introduction Of pure bred sheep
of different varieties, but chiefly the Cots
void. In good time American mutton will
be equal to that of England !; it is nearly so
now in weight of carcass, and will be so in
quality and flavor Of the meat, if farmers
will raise roots upon which to feed their
sheep. One acre of turnips or mangels is
equal to ten of grass Or fodder, and when
fed with straw, and helped out with little
bran or oil-cake, roots are certainly the
cheapest feed that can be produced.

WOOL MARKETS.

Reports from New York state that busi-
ness now and then shows a spasmodic sort
of animation, but not so much from any pos
tive Or direct demand as through the eff
forts to get rid of their remaining supplies.
10 do this the prices must, of course, rule
low, and though buyers are not as rule
1lt~c1y to ne auIracJeu away from the Old cau-
tious hand-to-mouth policy, they frequently
of late have been surprised to find bids sup
posed to be away down suddenly accepted,
and stock on their hands they had no idea
would come into their possession. In short,
the general outlook has failed so entirely to
afford encouraging features that the trade
seems to give up hope, and are determined
to close out before the new clip of fleeces
commences to press upon them. Intima-
tions come from the interior that growers
and country spectators are determined not
to accept the low bids made, but will carry
stocks and try to force buyers up. Our deal
ers seem quite we'll satisfied with this ar
rangement of carrying stocks, and in view Of
the expenses saved, think they; can, stand it as
long as the interior operator. Foreign trades
are dull, and, as intimated some time ago,
stocks are commencing to be reshipped to
Europe as affording better market than
here.-Colnsan's Rural World. 4lts4s I'LL g
