The DomesticasiOn of the Buff
cAlO.

Col. Ezra Miller, of Railway, n. j. has
been making some experiments which
have led him TO the conclusion tha, 10
Will pay to ureed buffaloes, both pure
blood aud crossed with our domestic cat
tie. Relating his experience with these
animals lately, the Colonel said: 81 have
proved To my own satisfaction several
points. First, that butfaloes can be-
tanned. Second, that 1t doesn't cost one
half as much TO keep buffalo as it d )es
to Keep an ordinary COW. Third, they
can be fatened rs quickly As ordinary
beeves, aud on half the food, aud their
meat Is just as good. Fourth, they are
just rs good mixers as our Alderneys :;
and NTH, they are good butter makers.
The milk of the buffalo is a little yellow
or than that of the Alderney, but very
sweet and rich, and there is more cream
than In the Alderney milk. AS to the
quantity of milk given by uuffalo COWS,
they will average with the average milk
er. The udder OF the buffalo COW rs very
small indeed, but the milk veins are i'm
mense. Ihls Is provision whereby ma
ture enables them to run faster than if
cunbereu by large udder. | am of the
opinion that the most desirable cross IL
with the big Dutch cattle that have such
big udders. / think that crossing them
with our shorthorns will give Iemarka-
bly, good beef. But the beef from our but-
faloes more than met my expectations.
1t was sweet and JUICY and tender, not at
all Ike tho meat of the buffalo of the
plains.
Now, in drawing the balance between
the buffalo and the ordinary COW, | find
these facts: The buffalo can be kept at
one halt the cost of the COW; that's one
point Tor the buffalo. We will assume, IA
give the COW fair show, that she yields
more milk and butter. That balances the
account 80 far. The buffalo is fully eaual
TO our stock In the quahty of meat. So
they are still on even terms but its hide
Is worth four tunes as much, so 1t comes
out tar ahead in the last heat, as
borsemen say. The hide from mv bu
was beautiful specimen. 1t was better
than 20 robe, bought to compare
with 1t. The fur was longer and timer, the
result OF Of good feed, | think"
The buffalo herded with the other cat
tie on the test OF terms. Whatsprpriset
