SHIPPING SHEEP TO ENGLAND.

The Marx Lane Erpress says: The
Americans are trying the experiment of
sending carcasses of mutton in their skins,
the WOOL having been scalded off. They
skin better than one would expect, under
the circumstances, and the carcasses are, of
course. fresh and clean. At Mr.. Taller
mans wharf in Thames street, | saw last
week a carcass in the skin, and one which
had been skinned the pelts are presumably
worth rs much here as on the other side,
and no canvas cloths are required. There
must also be a saving in weight, as the
eyaporating surfaces are lessened more than
one-half. There is, however, more trouble
attached to it on this side, and it remains to
be seen whether the plan will be generally
adopted.

was declined, for the reason that the general
market is good enough for this KIN OF meat
SO that it is NO object for the parties to enter
into anv such c%ontrat. This canned oeet
trade is vet in its infancy but there is now
no doubt that the business is to cut as lil-
nortant 4 figure in the matter Of helping to
absorb our large cattle supply as the snip
ment of beef on the hoof and in the carcass.

COOLING MILK.

A correspondent of the Country Gentle
man. writing on the subject Of cooling milk
for the market, says: The milk when
drawn from the COW is strained directly into
the can. in which it is to be sent away, as
soon as the milking is finished. The can is
set in water for half an hour or more, until
partially cooled, and then set in the ice
water trough, and ice enough added to last
during the night, for the evening milking.
When the morning mess has become par
tially cooled 1t may be placed i'll the same
trough, and more ice added to last until
night. at which time the milk is shipped
from this region, reaching the city, (about
sixty miles distant) during the night, and is
served perfectly sweet during the next day
from twenty-four to tllirty-six hours after
milking. In order to do this, the milk pals
(which should be of TIM, s%trainer and cans
must be thoroughly cleaned, scalded with
boiling water, and exposed to the sun and
air, or ice will not keep the milk. The
water is generally kept at about fifty de-
erees. The melting Of the ice keeps the
box or trough full, and furnishes some water
to dip out tor the first cooling of the milk in
another trough. If plenty of Ice is kept in
the water, it will need no other changing
than dipping off the surplus water. A tight
cover to the box, to be shut down close
after the milk is cold, with a blanket over
it, saves ice. 70 keep six to eight cans OF
milk, of forty quarts each, requires about
one and a half tons of ice per week during
hot weather. Farmers are now building
iue-houses with a milk room partitioned off.
and sometimes a trough set to catch the
drip of the ice, which would economic the
ice. The cream which rises on the milk is
generally stirred through the milk once or
twice before shipping.

LIV { ST c K.
THE LARGE B~ERKsHIREs.


A correspondent Of Coleman's Rural
World very sensibly writes: In these later
days there seems to be a great mania for
large Berkshire hogs. l wish to ask Is
there not great danger of our committing
the same ruinous mistake that the breeders
of this excellent breed of hogs committed
thirty-fve years ago in Ohio and elsewhere ?
/ refer to the time when they gave up the
medium size we'll developed animals for
these very coarse, large ones, and, by so
dooing, soon brought the breed mo great
disrepute.
We are willing to admit that there seems
to be a sort of fascination about these over
grown animals that one cannot resist. But
they are Improbable as compared with
smaller ones. They are not as good feeders,
more liable to disease, cannot be marketed
at SO young an age, and the greatest draw
back of all is that the markets do not want
these overgrown hogs. The days of keep
ing hogs until two or three years old before
Icing marketed are fast passing away.
The markets at present are demanding
fine-boned, we'll developed, and we'll fatted
pigs of $50 to $50 pounds, dressed weight,
not hogs of 500 to 700 pounds. Of course,
there may be a limited demand for the
large ones, but even then they must be sold
at a less figure. 1t has been fully settled,
time and again by experiment, that all ami
mai will make more pounds of flesh from a
given amount of food, the first nine months
Of its life than it will the second.
1t seems to us that if we paid more atten-
shires, than we do the length, we would get
better returns for our labor. If we have
Berkshires with short, thick heads, short
necks and short legs, coupled with broad,
straight backs, thick. smooth shoulders,
and long, well developed hams and then,
coupled with all these points, a good, ten
der, or, in other words, a pig with a large
appetite aasd that digests well all it eats
we have what l consider the ne plus ultra
of all hogs.
Again, are we not paying more attention
to pedigrees of late than we are warranted
in doings Let me illustrate: A friend Of
ours who has bred Berkshires tor thirty
five years, went to look over a very noted
herd of hogs of this breed, owned in another
State. Our friend cot his eye on a SOW that
had bad Topped ears. Said he to the owner,
s.Mr. -, what ails that sow's ears p
The reply was .'0h, that's Sallie --,"
and lodged the question by running of on
The pedigree.
Now, | like a good pedigree as we'll as
any one, but | think II good animal with a
good, straight pedigree more desirable than
II fashionable pedigree, or rather a popular
pedigree with an animal that possesses bad
points to back it up.
We think it would be a difficult thing to
prove that any one family of Berkshires
give more first-class animals than another.
