Echo Farm at the Centennial.

Ever since the departure of Mir. F. Ratchford Starr's herd of Jerseys for Phil adelphia, we have watched with increas- ing interest the results of the Centennial Cattle Exhibition, reports of which were from time to time brought us by some of our townspeople on their return home who dwelt upon the large and magnificent display, especially of Jerseys, and upon the sharp competition it naturally pro- duced. Information has at last been re- ceived that two of MT Starr's superb ami malls, the bull ''Litchfeld" and COW ''Fil- bert" have obtained Centennial awards; also that ''LitchfeId, ,' i'll addition to the Centennial diploma and medal. has galned the special first prize of $25O which was given by the American Jersey Cattle Club for the best Jersey bull at the Centennial exhibit, and awarded by the Centennial judges.
 Mr. Starr has spared no pains nor ex- pense in improving his herd, and we con- gratulate him upon the complete success which has attended his. efforts. Three years ago we referred to shipment made by Mir. Starr of five of his yearhngs to gentleman in Wisconsin who has slnce wished to purchase more of the same stock: but Mir. Starr has refused all offers since that date, believing that he could raise better stock than he could purchase. and wishing to increase his herd to its present limit of nearly one hundred.
 ''Litchfield" has been exhibited a num- Der of times in past years, and three times in the present year, and In every instance has carried off the first prize. Seven prizes were taken by Mir. Stars Centennial herd when exhibited at the Connecticut State Fair at Hartford. Sept
 18th, en route for Philadelphia: and with
 in few days after their return from there
 on the 1lth ult, sixteen prizes were wor
 by the thirty-four of his herd exhibited at Watertown, among which was one that deserves special reference 'Fllbert,
 not content with her remarkable success at Hartford and Philadelphia, secured al Watertown the first prize as the best CON
 of her age; also, the special prize as "tht
 best COW for milk'' This is the more re
 markable because the latter prize wa!
 open to COWS of all breeds. It has beer generally supposed that the Alderney, o as they are more correctly called the Jer sey breed, does not excel in quantity o milk, though producing richer qualit.
 than other breeds. The milk records O Echo farm are excellent in both these re spects.

A,tCO3 PONAW0s
 On the 23d of August this heifer weigh ed just 700 pounds, so that in that month she gave about one e-third more weight of milk than her own weight. This is the most extraordinary for Jersey heifer that we ever knew
 fields progeny, taken with him to Philadelphia, are all remarkable milkers. 'Locust,' one of them, like "Filbert, '' gave in August last more than her own weight in milk. We learn that the Jersey beef is pecu- liarly delicate and rich in flavor, and that this breed of cattle, when not giving milk, is very easily fattened. No animal which turns its food into rich milk can be ex. pected to gain in flesh while milking. It would be contrary to the laws of nature. We are glad to find that some of our farmers are availing themselves of the op- portunity afforded them to improve their stock by crossing their breeds with the Jersey. ''Litchfeld's" S. progeny, thus pro- duced, prove excellent butter COWS.
