The editorial Washington correspondent
of the Alexandria Ga-eite says:
"Nr. Ella, the recently appointed Sixth
Auditor is tic man who, in 1868, started on
a stumping tour in Virginia, to teach the
benighted people Of that State the beauties
and beati.udes of rsdicalism, but who sud
Genly abandoned it after making two
speeches, the first Of which wac replied 10
by Andrew Hunter and the second by the
late j. Is. Baldwin. These two Virginians
left so little Of his arguments that he really
began to doubt the force of them himself,
and, consequently, and wisely determined to
let the Virginians welk out their " saliva
tion.'

BEEEDIsG IMMATURE ANNALS
think one of the greatest mistakes OF stock
breeding is in using immature animals.
The fact that the progeny of but partially
developed animals is always weak and M
usually liable to disease is entirely ignored
BY hresders. Because an animal has
reached puberty is no reason why II should
be brel. The possibility Of producing
their kind is no guarantee OF the wisdom
of allowing this. Horses, cattle, and
~heep, but most especially hogs, are bred
much earlier than prudence would die
tate. y A Breeder. in Ohio Fttrnler
We agree with the above, and think 1t
especially important as applied to males.
We fear the breeders of Jersey cattle are
some Of them erring in this direction.
There is an idea that bulls of this breed
are sure to De cross when four or five ye srs
old. and we know of some who will not
keep bull after he is two years old, aad
breed largely from yearlings. We believe
this practice continued will result in de-
terioration of the stock in size, cons.ilu'
ion, and general excellence.
