....T The farmers in this vicinity are dispos-
ing of their Jersey cows and buying larger
breed with g view to raising steers for beef.
Notwithstanding the Board of Agriculture
tells them that there is no money Tor the
farmer in this State except through the dairy
and fresh fruits. Those who have oxt n and
big cows to sell think there is money in
them al the present price of hay and grain.
They agree that beef will never be as cheap
in the " est as it has been, for the reason
that public gazing lands have been nearly
all taken up,and large herds OF cattle can no
longer ros Ii at will over the public domain
with little or no expense to their owners;
and that our fields are so we'll cultivated
for hay here in Maine that there is little
danger of a short crop; and that for several
years to &C me it will pay best to grow
8 took and send cur hay to market on the
hoof.
