We learn through Messrs. Green &
Gilbert that the United States courts at
Springfield will adjourn August 4th, and
that the mandamus suits against the
county and city, wherein demurrers
have been filed to test the sutticiency of
the petitions for manlamus would not
come up for hearing before the next
January term Of court, at which time Il
full argument be had, with good
prospects of a decision in favor OF our
ely and county. We further learn
through Messrs. Greene Gilbert shat an
examination Of the journal proceedings OF
legislative session Of 1857 discloses the
fact that in the passage Of the act OF
1857, authorizing the subscription of
counties, cities, ETC., in aid OF the con-
st~uction OF railroads, the record IN the
office of the Secretary of State does not
show that the forms OF law were COM
Piled with, viz: That the law was passed,
which tact, if established, will, az we
understand from Messrs, G.. e g., alone
defeat the bonds subscribed by our city to
the c. q V. and c, & st. Il, railroads
under the act above referred to. This
will be good news for our people, aud we
only hope that the information we have
received as above may prove correct.

afternoon, at three O'Clock. A general
attendance is desired. This meeting is
for the purpose of adopting resolutions
relative TO the late Alfred b. Stafford,
Esq, which may be slight tribute to
his worth. He needs no words OF ours:
his own works speak his praise. From
the birth of our association, till the
present hour, his hand, strong and

And now in the room eIdeared to us by
how many memories of the noble heart
now hushed, we desire to meet and add

SEX IN BREEDING.

Last year DR.. 4. L. Sturtevant discussed
in the Scientific Farmer the above subject at
length and treated his readers to a great
deal Of matter, curious, interesting and in
structive, drawn largely from a wide range
of sources. Though inclined to one view
he by no means appears disposed to cham
pion it as he quotes a great number of facts
having apparently a directly opposite bear
ing, and his articles seem chiefly to show
how little we know Of this subject. MIR. D.
E. Salmon devotes one of his series of
Breeding Papers to the same subject and
takes a different view, which he supports
by some facts, refers to DR.. SIS. articles
and INDUCES in a flourish of trumpets, as of
victory. Now the facts quoted by DR.. S.. in
confederation of the view he advances are
quite as striking as those adduced by Mr..
Salmon.
The gist Of DR.. Sturtevant's discussion
seems to be contained in the sentence
We can find no evidence that sex produc-
ton is governed by heredity and he
seems inclined to the opinion that the fe-
male has the greater influence. Mr.. Salmon
sums up his conclusions as follows-"l l.
The respective influences of the parents on
the offspring are about equal. 2. When
this is not the case, other things being equal,
the influence of one is as likely to predomi-
nate as that of the other"
l have an oracular neighbor who once de-
livered himself on IN obscure subject as fol-
lows: "Pretiy much generally sometimes
you can't always tell" According to our
present lights, a similar verdict on the uues-
ton OF sex in breeding would be just.
1t seems to me that what we need in the
present stage of our knowledge, or rather

ONE needs to know the per centage of
cream to determine the value of the cow for
tutter, and as the price of butter is infu-
enced by its color and flavor (some believe
the color determines the f~iavor), the test
should give both quality and quantity of
cream. This is easily and cheaply done by
filling a glass tumbler with the milk of each
cow, and setting these tumblers in a cool
place for the cream to rise. The transpar-
emit glass will show the thickness of the
cream and its color. In this manner one
has the milk of the several cows under in
spection at the same time, and can there
tore make an accurate comparison. Both
nights and mornings milk should thus be
tested. This testing often proves that the
cow giving the smallest quantity OF milk
makes the most butter. A few hours time
Will show the comparative quality of the
mix given by each cow in a herd, and ena-
Die the farmer to select out of those that
give cream OF a rich golden color, and make
way with the remainder, supplying their
places with Others it will pay better to keep.

Ignorance, of the subject is facts. THEORIES

for truth. except as they stimulate their up
holders to collect facts in support OF 'helr
views. Let us gather all the facts possible
whether they tend to prove or disprove our
notions.
have a mare that has borne ten or eleven
colts but three of which were males. lhey
were sired by five or six stations.
Seven years ago another gentleman ana
myself brought into the neighbornood two
Jersey bulls. TO spare them and get back
some of our money, we charged for their
services, a ching almost unheard OF at that
time here. They were patronized only IN
the hope of getting heiter calves, and we
found that the COWS brought to them were
ones known to ..bear most females; and In
the case of my own bull | know that his
calves by those COWS have been chiefly helf-
ers. With some of my COWS he has gotten
males almost wholly, while II that has
never been bred to any other bull has heif-
ers uniformly from him. These things, and
others, awe inclined me to the idea that the
preponderance OF influence is with the fe-
male, but when | consult my sheep record,
it's facts seem to teach me differently. For
a number of years my ewes were served by
ram lambs, and dropped large proportion
Of males-about four in five. A gentleman
of large experience and wide information,
whose name | think would be recognized
by many Of our readers. attributed it to the
use of young rams, and advised me to use
an older one. The [ then had suited
me, and I have kept him for three seasons,
with an increasing proportion of eve lambs.
The second season he got four ewes in elev-
en- lambs; the third, seven in seventeen.
l wish, Messrs. Editors, that you could
persuade every intelligent reader who raises
stock or pet animals to keep a record OF
them. 1t should make no difference wheth-
er they are thoroughbred or not. 1t would
take but little time and would often prove
OF interest and value to the owner, and when
sometime, some scientific man or associa-
ton or institution shall institute a rigorous
study of the subject and call for facts bear
ing on it, these records will each have a di-
rect public value. Let us accumulate facts,
for they are always valuable, while a study
of this subject can be of little use till more
facts bearing on it are collected.-Cor. IN

at four, Gazeale, with her record of 2:22, at
five, and Louis Napolean at six years old.
Lady Patriot bred Volunteer at four years
old, her first colt and best stock horse. She
bred Hetzel's Hambletonian at five, Green's
Hambletonian at six and Sentinel at twelve
years old, all superior horses.
Lady Sears bred Huntress at twelve, and
Sister at fourteen years old. Huntress was
her first colt. Bothare celebrated for their
speed and endurance. Huntress has the
fastest three-mile record in the annals OF
trotting.
Madame Temple bred Flora at five, and
Pilot Temple at nineteen years old.
Satinet bred Messenger Duroc at eleven,
and Juno at thirteen years old. The former
was the first colt, and has proved her most
valuable stock horse.
Precepts can be drawn from these and
other examples that will be useful to the
breeder. 1t shows the capabilities of the
horse, the gradual development of his natu-
raj powers and the sagacity to improve by
education. 1t demonstrates from facts what
is expected from pedigree, or the theory OF
hereditary descent. Actual trials determine
the sound constitution and good temper, the
foundation stones of breeding. The iron
will and firm sinews of the champion will
produce the hard bottomed offspring. Com
petition among breeders or owners to test
the strength or speed of their horses for a
premium are looked upon by some people
as idle recreations, while in fact they estab-
fish a powerful breed of horses, to perpetl-
ate the race. Except for a wise provision
of nature, and the skill of man, the equine
race would degenerate and run out.
The time that mares produce their best
foals, the skill, attention and surrounding
circumstances that contribute to the result,
are matters OF public interest. They are
the fundamental cause of improvement.
The dam teaches the breeder the rudiments
of the art of breeding. Their history shows
that when their constitution is ripe and in
sound health and vigor, they have brought
forth their most valuable offspring. The
mare contributes most to the vital functions.
The stallion moulds the outward form.
Whatever disease is inherited will be likely
to descend to the offspring. soundness IS
as essential to breeding as it is to endure ia
tigue. The breed of the greatest utility, that
combines the most qualities for all purposes,
are the jewels of the stud. Great horses are
the counterparts of superior strength and
action. To produce their like we must
have the hereditary element in the ances-
tors. All are after their kind.
