MILK YIELD OF COWS.

In q paper recently read before the AgriouI-
tural Society by Mr.. Meaden, Manager OF the
Government Farm, Trinidad, on the milk.
yield of the various cattle under his charge,
he gives the palm 10 a cross breed between
the Short horn and the Zebu A COW OF this
parentage was giving Is to 16 imperial quarts
daily, as we'll as feeding her calf. She IS
described rs n good-Sized animal, we'll shaped,
perfectly docile, and III every way most
desirable. This Short-horn Of itself Is not a
good breed for a tropical country, owing to Its
dense coat, which affords a hiding place Tor
ticks, from which the animals suffer greatly.
On the other hand, the Zebu by itself hnS
many disadvantages. 1t is an Indian breed
which was introduced int the colony with
the view OF rearing improved drauSht animals
and it has hid II marked influence for good
in this direction, the draught oxen OF the
colony having gained q reputation Tor thelr
size and handsome appearance; but as q ualry
all imal it is of poor value, a pure Zebu having
seldom more milk than it, calf requires, and
sometimes not enough for that, milk from
other cows being required to keep the caf
alive. This inferior milking, the Manager
says, is due to the irritable nervous tcmpera-
ment Of the beast; and 50 far it has not been
possible to subdue this nervousness or even to
tone it doWn sufficiently to improve the COW
milking qualities. A cross between the Hebu
and an ordinary creole COW has produced a
very fair mixer, but inferior to the Short
horn cross. In general respects, however,
they seem to be excellent animals, and we
would draw the attention Of local farmers to
what Mr.. Meaden has to say about two OF
them:-"IhPy are fine handsome COWS, g"od
land regular breeders, excellent mixers ana

that a pure breed is not the animal best suit
cd for a tropical pasture, at all events he does
not know of any that possesses he necessary
requirements. But he has demonstrated that
by cross. breeding it is possible 10 get an
animal TO suit the climate and surroundings.
"A judicious blend between the Zebu and
Short-horn or similar cattle lho I'D be the
'obiect sought for, so rs to produce stock
with plenty of size for work or the butchers;
this could be worked up to by Introducing

This week the weather has been very un-
settled. cloudy skies prevailing. Since our
last report we have had but a few light
showers Although the land looks as if it
was III want Of rain, yet where it is in good
order there is plenty of moisture below to
cause the crops to grow. The chance to
cultivate thor oughIy and clean the fields Of
grass is most propitious. and every advantage
should be taken Of it, as frequent rains may
occur next Septenber and October.
From some districts planters state that
canes are making n most gratifying showing;
that a thick stand is assured, assuming of
course, that the future is not extraordinarily
uufavorablc; unless future events could make
Il change for the worse. From some quarters,
81 the contrary, sugar planters complain at
having to rcplant their cane fields AS a result
Of the rebels burning a good many OF them.
