Horse Breeding In New England.

John +. Russell, Esq, of Leicester Mass,
addressed the recent Farmers Meeting OF
the Massachusetts Board of Agriculture, on
the breeding, training and management Of
horses, subject he is fully competent to
treat. We make the following extract from
breeding in New England, said he, as a
business is not successful. 1t is not the le-
climate work of the farmer, and is carried
Oh only for the amusement Of those who can
afford to breed without respect to profit For
twenty years past it has been not only with
out profit but discredtable because the great
proportion OF the horses produced have been
of poor quality. The object seems to be to
breed "a horse that can make track record
'at its second-best gait. People seem to be-
dazzled by the great prizes carried off by the
Lady Thorns aud Dexters. This trottine
business is complex one, and the procur-
ing of the horse is only the vestibule of ii
vast temple of expense. IL is the rule OF
these ventures that the colt is a failure. But
if he prove the exception and develop speed
then he must be taken to the track, entered
with care and managed in accordance with
the tricks of the track. 1t would be a rec
onpense if these horses could be trans.
ferred into some legitimate pursuit, but they
are not fit for such. The chance of getting
tirst-class trotter out of number of horses
reminds one OF remark made by French
man concerning the chance of getting good
wife in Paris society. He said it was like
grabbing for an eel in barrel of snakes"

Jersey Yields.

ii. l.. S., of Bennington, writing in the
Country Gentleman, gives the following record
OF two of his Jersey COWS. lie says !
own some Jerseys, fully as good, think, as
the average, and on September 18th tried
TWO of the best for one day. There had
been no rain since August 10th, and ou
pastures were very dry and short. One COW
calved on the 10Th, the other on the Both of
March last, and so had been milking steadily
for about six months. They were MIXED at
hali-past six O'Clock on the afternoon of Sep
TENDER 18th at half-past six a. NJ, and
half-past six =. NJ, on the 18th. The two
milkings of the 18th were each measured in
my presence, not that feared my hired men
would try to tickle my competency by a
false report, but because Two witnesses are
better than one. One COW gave ten quarts
and a third Casually gives fourteen in early

rately. The butter was then thoroughly
worked and sailed, and weighed-the ten
and third quarts yielding one and hall
pounds the eight quarts, one pound aud one
ounce of compact butter, down weight. My
neighbors pronounced the yield a large one
on poor pasture only, and so long after cav

earlier in the season.

tinually growing beneath them. They break
open, and their contents flow downwards into
the larger passages, aud thus gradually fill
the bag.
here we may take the opportunity to ex-
plain how the error has arisen of supposing
the cream globules, Or rather butter globules,
to be covered with bag. They have been
regarded as cells. But they are not cells
They constitute part of the cell-contents
which consist of these little oil-globules float
ing in the Gaseous (cheesy) serum OF the
milk which we call, after the cream is skim
med off, "skim.milk." The true cell-wall, or
bag in which the milk is first formed from
the blood, disappears, being probably dis
solved in the milk it contained. At any-rate,
we do not find it in the milk when examined
by the microscope. When so examined,
milk appears as wbitish fluid in which lit
tie balls Of yellow oil (butter) are seen swim
ing in greater or less abundance, according
to what we call the "richness OF the milk

New Varieties Of Wheat.

There can be little doubt that the same
improvement that has been witnessed III
corn, potatoes, tomatoes, and many other
cultivated plants by high culture, selection,
and especially by crossbreeding, can be ex-
tended to many others. There is no reason
why all the cereal grains may not be made
more vigorous, healthy and productive by
the same processes that have been success
full with the plants named above.
1t is a satisfaction to know that we have
in this state one person, at least, who may
be said to have devoted his life to expert
ments in this direction. And it adds much
to this satisfaction TO know that the person
mentioned is one who by nature, and by many
years of special study, is eminently adapted
to, and well qualified for, the work he has
taken in hand. We refer to c. G. Pringle, OF
Charlotte, whose name is already wellknown
on both sides of the Atlantic as skillfu
and successful hybridist.
Those who have attended the meetings OF
the Board of Agriculture have heard Mr..
Pringle discourse upon his favorite subject
of naturalization, and have seen many speci-
mems of the results OF his work upon the
wheat plant. This work he has prosecuted
for many years, and he is now prepared to
present to the public the tangible and prac-
teal results in two new varieties OF spring
wheat, in which he has successfully united
the hardness of the variety called the Black
Sea with the fine quality of the Golden Drop.
The first of these new kinds is named
the "'Ch.mplain." 1t is wheat bearded
like the Black Sea, with the white chat
of its other parent. 1t is said to be free
from rust and smut and yields lighter col.
ored grain than the former. The straw is
said to grow six to twelve inches higher
than its parent varieties-to stand erect
and to bear under ordinary culture heads
from five to six inches in length, containing
from sixty to seventy-five kernels each. II
is recommended as among the earliest, prom
Using to give the growers of this important
crop &" better results than are produced by
the old and turnout varieties now sown."
The other variety is called the Defiance
This is beardless white chaff wheat, the
heads closely set with large white kernels
Both varieties will be offered for sale the
coming season, and we have little doubt
that, by thus combining "a great improve
ment in the grain itself with the superior
skill, and the better machinery used il
milling Ito which, however, should be added
an equal skill on the part of the cultivator)
we may expect to see Fancy flour iron
Vermont spring wheat a not uncommon
article of merchandise in the market. Are
the Vermont farmers ready to take hold Of
Mr.. Pringe's improved wheats, and do thei
part in bringing this to pass

Priscilla into the parlor, and there they sal
