PraeticaI stock breeding.

Correspondence Pennsylvania Farmer.
A scrub heller bred 70 thoroughbred bull
for her first calf. and then repeatedly bred to
the sane bull, will improve in her breeding
so that each succeeding calf will be better
than the preceding one. and this to q greater
extent than IL she had been bred to different
bulls, though all equally good and of the
same blood. This rule holds good with
horses and sheep as well as cattle. Stick
pin right here: IL You ara breeding cattle,
get good bull, and keep him. II you con-
clude to breed Durhauls, do 30; il HolsteIns,
or any other breed, do so; but don't breed
10 Durham bull one year and
Holstein the next. You must stick
TO the ore thing il you expect TO breed good
grades Of either. And more than this, q COW
that hes once been bred TO a scrub bull, IL
bred promiscuously TO different bulls even
OF the same breed, will never produce as good
calves as she would If bred several times in
succession to the same individual bull. The
man who has good heifers, high grades OF
thoroughbred, and does not want to raise
their first calves, and uses q scrub bull be-
cause it 10 cheaper is saving pennies TO day
at the expense Of dolIsrs in rhe near future.

A few castor-oil plants here and there in

Two Scale, OF Prices.

Everything the farmer has to sell is very
low; erything, or at least nearly everything,
that the farmer has TO buy Is comparatively
high Wheat over a large proportion OF the
region In which IL IS produced brings the
ralser but nifty cents per bushel. The price
OF grain harvesters and self-binders, how.
ever, remains tbs same as when wheat was 8
dollar bushel in the place where 10 was
raised. The same is the case with the plou
that turned the furrow, the harrow that pull
verified the soil, and the Seeder that put in the
crop. Everything that is turned OF from the
farm Is very cheap, put everything that is
turned out from the factory is dear, The
old scale of prices for farm products has all
been changed, but the scale of prices for the
products OF manufactures remains un-
changed. Beef, mutton aud wool are all low,
but posts and wires necessary to fencs a
pasture cost % much as they ever did. The
cost OF procuring meterais aud OF putting
them together 50 a. to afford protection to
animals during storms and in winter
has not been reduced with all the
of cloth is not affected sppre-
ciably by the fall in wool farmer may
get small price for the hides be has TO dis
pose Of, but be pays high price for the boots
shoes and harness that ne Is obliged to pur-
chase. Potatoes are cheap. but the bogs in
which they are put and the wagon that is
used for taking them TO market cost "a much
IS they did when potatoes brought twice
the money they do at present. It is also
noticeable that the rates of transportation
and the commission merchants charges for
selling them are as high as when potatoes
brought 81 a bushel.
Formerly the price Of articles required for
food governed the price of almost all other
articles TIE price of almost everything was
governed By that OF wheat, as that was re-
esrded as the most important of ell products.
All this is changed now. Farm
ers have nothing to do in reg
ulsting prices. They take what is offered for
their products They are too numerous aud
TOO widely scattered TO combine. The prices
Of nearly every article they are obliged to
purchase, however, is regulated By essocia-
tons and combinations formed among man
ufacturers. The manufacturers of nearly
every important article combine to limit
production and to keep up prices. They
even combine to prevent the establishment
OF manufactures similar TO their own. In
many departments Of manufacturing there
is no competition between different estab-
hehments. a uniform scale of prices is
adopted which IS rigidly adhered 70. In
many cases our patent laws and tariff eystem
enable them TO establish and perpetuate the
most oppressive monopolies. The western
farmer learns the price Of wheat and pork
by reading the market reports of
LIVERPOOL He gets no information
about the prices Of cloth and articles male

tions in the papers of Manchester, Sheffield
and Birmingham. These quotations are of

Feeding Hay.

>ncerning the indefinite quantity OF the
Sy ration in the most reputed feeding ex-
periments referred to in q recent issue of the
Gazette, ii may be observed that feeding hsy
is matter that requires considerable judg-
meDt. Animals like men, when the oppor-
tunity for exercising preference is present
ed, are apt to consider that the best is only
good enough for them; and If more hay IA
given than they require will pick out the
tenderest and sweetest portions aud leave
the remainder, which not only wastes valu-
able feed, but encourages the habit OF dai1t-
mess in the animals which is conducive to
anything bat thrift. Animals that pick over
food, smelling end boxing every blade and
stem in apparent hesitation ss to whether 20
eat or not, do not compare in thriftiness
with the good, square eaters. whose appe-
tltes give them good relish for reasonable
Quantity OF any proper food. The general
practice is to feed enough" which is cor
rect enough when Just sufficient is given,
and very incorrect when great quantities are
given TO be trsmpled under foot or other
wise wasted. But. with hay in bulk, ii is
not easy TO gauge the quantity given, aud
even If this were possible, it would vary ma.
terislly With the quality of the product,
although where good grain rations are
given variations in the quality of
hay are not so important. We re-
member once weighing some hay that
bhu DSeQ pA6Seo through cut
ting machine, and that great big pile OF it
uncut, measured only few bushel basket
fuls after the machine had done with II,
weighing seven pounds and half to the
basket, or just half the weight Of cosrse wheat
bran weighed at the same time. II is not
possible in the practical operation of the
farm, TO be strictly accurate in such matters
but whatever departure there may DO should
be, 80 far ss possible, controlled by calcutta
ton, and not left altogether 70 accident
The farmer can not have chemical analysis
made OF his hay 10 ascertain its exact nutri-
tive value, and be can not weigh ont to each
bullock so many pounds and ounces, but
he can, considering the quantity OF
grein he - feeding aud the average
quantity OF the hay, make up MS
mind about bow many pounds hs should
feed. IL he does this, and finds part of il
wasted, he can decrease the quantity, aud il
The Quantity should be insufficient his own
practical observation will soon disclose that
fact to him. Having made up his mind
about how many pounds 20 feed, be will
have to guess and weigh few times until be
can Approximate somewhat the desired
quantity, and will have a basis or starting
point from which 10 increase or decrease the
ration. Besides, he is pursuing a method,
and there Is nothing that contributes so
much toward sharpening ones powers OF OBJ
eervstIon and rIpening his experience as ths
hsbit OF doing everything according to SONS
fixed method or plan.

An Ancient Dude

Amusing as is the custom Of the modern
dude, it Is prossic in comparison with the
days. At the International Health Exhibi-
ton, the fop Of the time Of Richard Ii. was
shown:
He wore long gown belted at the waist
with purse hanging at the side, aud this
gown had sleeves gathered to puff on the
shoulder and hanging TO within six inches of
the ground, with deep points bordering
: em, and turned back here aud there to
SHOW the lining.
Two high collars, the outer matching the
blue cloth OF his gown, the inner made Of
yellow cloth and saving his ears, and large
fur hat trimmed with yellow cloth fan,
completed his costume.
The only masculine thing about his sp-
pearaDce wss the size of the foot revealed
through q slit in one side of the gown.
