Agricultural Mating% in Boston.
At a late' , Legislature Aericulturat Meeting,
held at the state House, the subject discusseu
was the " Hearing and Management of Horned
Cattle."
Mr. Buck mtniiiter, editor of the Ploughman,
thought the subject one of much importance,
and that farmers should pay more attention to
breeding suitable cows for the dairy. The
European breeders look mere to fine forms than
to the milking qualities. 'rile imported stock
has not: excelled for milking. although some
crosses had proved very fait milker'•. If the
hest milkers are selected to breed front, the
stock will improve from rear to year.
As evidence of the infertority of the Euro
pean stock, Nit.. Duel:minister quoted the wri
tings of M Colman, the Agricultural Commis
sioner to Europe, who stares that the European
farmers estimate that sixteen quarts of milk will
make one pound of butter.' In this State the
common estimate is ten quarts of milk for a
pound of butter: The great trouhld here is that
we kill our young cattle too indiscriminately,
andlinostlfaimers prefer purchasing to raising.
We should select the best cattle and raise their
best calves.
Mr. Brooks, of Princeton. stated his method
of raising calves. Ile thought it best for the
calves to nurse until or six weeks old--
then take them away and wean them on a lit
tle milk, or milk.and water. When weaned at
that time calves will be hardy. If they nurse
beyond that time they ivdl lose more flesh on
weaning. W hen weaned, they should be turn
ed into the pasture. Ile estimated the cost Of
raising a calf in this section of the country as
follows : The original cost of calf five weeks
old is eight cents per week ; the second year
12 cents wand the third year 15 cents. At this
rate, the cost of a calf two -years and a half old.
would.. be $l2 82. adding twelve per cent fin in
terest. The calf at that age will bring $22 for
beef. The same relative value in proportion to
the expense of raising, will hold good for sub
sequent years.
Mr. Brooks said that he has four half Ayr
shire two years old heift4s, which g ave this
year ten quarts of milk per day, wh ich milk
yielded ten per cent. of cream, from which a
pound of butter cold he made. He, had also
four native cows. which gave about !he same
proportion of cream to their milk.
For making butter. Mr. Brooks prefers a
cow* which gives frnm,twelve to sixteen quarts
of milk to one that gives more. They ,will
make more butter. He was inclined to think
that the native cattle are the best, though he
thought well of the half breed Ayrshires.
In answer to inquires, Mr. Brooks stated
that he usually cried two calves to be nursed
by - one cow. It is better for them not to have
quite enough than to be over fed. He. gave his
experience in relation to the new method disco
vered by the French cattle breeder,Guinon, by
which It is asserted • ahe 'milking qualities of
cows can be readily ascertained by certain
marks. He said that lie had carefully studied
his book, 2 and had not made ten mistakes id tell
ing within two quarts how much milk a cow
would giv, and within a 'pound or two how
much butter she would yield in a week. He
was fully convinced that there was a great deal
of truth in the plan recommended, and that the
directions are So certain, that no one need buy
a bad cow. Some of the marks noticed by
Guinon lie had himself noticed before reailine
the work. Guinan says the marks are develop.
ed when the calves are six months old, but Mr.
Brooks said he was satisfied that the qualities
of a calf can be predicted with tolerable cqtain
ty, when but four or five weeks olit. The
work in question is very cheap, costing but 37/
cents, 'and should be in the hands of every
farmer..
Mr. Denny, of Westboro', alluded to the
publication mentioned by Mr. Brooks. He
said he had distributed twenty or.twerity-five
copies among the most experienced breeders of
cattle, and they had informed him that the theory
of the author is correct. He thought that every
one who has or expect to have a cow, should
have a copy of this work.
Mr. French, of Braintree, tho't any one who
would take the book in question, and give it a
thorough perusal, would come to the conclusion
that the author must be right. The diffusion
of this work will perhaps change the character
of the stock throughout the Union. The
knowledge which it imparts, will give purcha
sers more confidence in purchasing, and insure
better stock. Mr. French was of opinion that,
obtaining good milkers from cnws is a mere
.matter of chance, lie did not think that more
than one in live of the calves of imported stock,
however pure- the blood, prove fair takers.—
Breeding cattle for their fattening qnlities is
more sure.
.In conclusion, Mr. French alluded
to a Militant cow, with no pet:igree, which was
brought from England by the captain of a vessel,
end sold to Mr. Swift. the Mayor of Brooklyn,
which yielded on an average, twenty-seven
quarts of - milk per day for ten months.
Mr. Brooks, in an answer man inquiry, es.
limated - the yield of milk of ordinary cows • t
about five quarts pey.t - day. during the year.
though he had nothing on which to base the
calculation, as he had never measured the yeai ,
/y product. The reason that the English cattle
are no better milkers is because they breed for
shape, size, and fat, rather than for milking
qualitieg. He had rarely known a good milk•
lag cow to be a good fuller. The Ayrshires
Will fatten better than any other. The reason
that there is so Much, difficalty in obtaining
good milkers with r tertainty fronknathei cattle.
is because they are crossed in frequently, .
Mr. Nferrimarn,jof Tewskbury, said that he
'did n I believe the production of good cattle de
vended' upon chance, but thought it was based
outfundamental rules. It depends on the blood,
and is probably - owing to the crosses that So
many rattle prove poor milkers.
lie il Olt that farmers should adapt . their
si..ck to the condition of their farms and feed.
'Tim improvements in stoet; ran never he in ad.
enure of the condition of agrieultore. The
Dialtams. hripg a heavy stork, will out c a re

that a cow which gives twelve quarts of milk
per day, would yield as much butler as one
which gives ioxieett. The State. Agricultural
Society have a stock of pure breed imported
rattle, which they wish to distribute in such a
initiner as to improve the stock throughout the
State as nitwit as possible. They are now :
so air w hat embarrased to know how to dispose

Mr. M erriam thought that enoil milkers could

blood should be - kept pure. The native rank

hut is fr. quently found that the so called natives
Ihave 24 I deal of foreign blood. and they get
the credit of what properly is the result of their
foreign blood. In breeding. if we start with
good milking blood, and cross with none but
those which are of that kind, a race will be
i produced from which The calves may he de
pended upon as good milkers. Ile * had some
pure blond cattle, which sell at high prices.
from which lie had never raised n heifer. Ile
keeps these cattle because they are more profits
hie to him.
The Hon. Mr. Calhoun, the Presidentof the
meeting. stated that in the western Part or the
State, fine blond animals are occasionally in
troduced. An impravemenrcommenres hut it
does not go on. The animals are temoVvil to
other countries, their offsprings, are crossed
with other breeds, the impolvements stops, by
breeding out the good hhind which has been in
troduced.t In no part of the State has any Im
provement iu stock been completed. Ile thought
the native stock the Most to be -relied on, if
proper rare is taken to have good animals on
both a ides. Aniithe t difficulty is we do not
know how to train animals of various bloods.

The First St. Louis Agricultural Society
=1
The first St. Louts Agricultural Society, as
near as I can discover, was started by three
amateur farmers, who. although they were g -
eil with an abundance of the theory of cultivation,
yet they had •• never set a potato in the field,
or the raismg of a cabbage knew tin more than
a dandy." The old farmers looked upon the
society with much suspicion. and. like all new
projt ets, gave it the •• cold shoulder ;" but they
were, nevertheless, curious to we how the new
system of farming by science would succeed,
The founders stood alone. but they resolved
to go ahead ; so they elected each other to the
different offices, and put trust in time. and their
experiments in farming, to convert members.
The progress of the President was often hu
morohsly related,by his father-in-law, a vene•
rated deceased citizen, something in this wise:
Ah, wait, do you know my son-in-law !
vat is his name ? (his memory was bad ) felt,
no mattair, he vas my son•in•law. lie has
start. sair, von grand agricultural society--zat
is vair well, vair good sing. Did von evair
hear how he make ze weed of his grain field .?
Ali. ha ! sair,'zat is von grand idea. lie plant
his (jell. wiz grain—zat is good ; he grow up
vair fine—zat is good, to; dut zair grow up
wiz de grain vair moat! weed. Ah,ha ! zat vair
bad; but my son•in-law, he says he,will burn
ze weed ; but madden! sair he burn up all his
grain, too, at de same time wis his fence and
de weed."
The Secretary's ideas run on fat pork, and
he hoped to raise a specimen which would
make his whole neighborhood. if not ill whole
west envious of his reputation as a stock raiser:
He was a. chemist, and. indulged in splendid
visions of the power, of science. when applied
to agricultural pursuits. He thought, too, that
it could fatten pork, but all his experiments
failed to improve his pigs ; they were thin when
he commenced. and they daily grew thinner.
In passing. one day.-by a Kentucky neighbor.
whose stock looked in fine condition, he ven
tured to remark to him that it was curious all
the •• pig tails" in the neighborhood, except his
own collection, curled in a fat and saucy kind
of kink.
"•It's ail in the feed, 'Squire," said his neigh
bob,
How can that be ?" inquired the Secretary.
" - I give them my chemical fattening mixture.
and good corn
That hint my way," replied the farmer.
" Well, what is your way I" eagerly in
quired the Secretary.
" Oh," says the Kentuckian, " I give'em the
corn without the kir:like' I"
The Treasurer also had great faith in the
Secretary's chemical mixture. He thought. it
administered in large doses, the effect would be
more rapid, and, to fully test its power, he tri
ed it upon a pair of tine oxen. Taking his
favorite negro to the barn with him one evening
he mixed the agricultoral dose; and remarked
to Sam whose eyes were widening as he look
ed upon the experimental food
" Sam, this will make the fat jump upon
stock ; you can almost see them improve under
its influence."
" Alt, ha, de tor, massa," responds Sam, "dat
is high." •
The dose war administered, mixed with bran,
and in the morning the Treasurer waited patient.
ly for Sam's report. Presently he presented
himself, his eyes shining , like full moons.

43 - 1,1 WILD cr.:wilier BITTERS.
FOR the permanent removal of all such diseases as
take their rise in an Impure Blissl, Impaired Di
gestion, Morbid state of the Liver and Stomach, Weak
ness of the Nervous System, and a Disonled habit of
Constitution generally.
Dr. Wood's Sarsaputilla and Wild Cherry Bitters
have already, by their substantial excellence, mien a
degree of public favor and patronage which-puts them
beyond the need of recommendation. Being faithfully
prepared of the most excellent materials, they can be
fully confided in by all in tread of a tonic, aperient or
alternative remedy.
This preparation will be found on trial to be a sure
and speedy remedy for the diseases enumerated above.
They purify the blood, secure regular digestion, promote
a beaky action of the Liver and Stomach, and strengthen
the nerves, at once securing health and vigor to the
whole system. In all cases of despondency, arising
from indigestion or nervous irritation, they have been
used with remarkable success; nor are they less useful
as a remedy for Headache, Flatulency, loss of Appetite'
and a general prosiraleun of the artein. At the same
time it must be stated that they are neither violent nor
at all dangerous in their:operation, securing as they do
the desired end, by a steady, regular arid easy influence:
Taken daily, in doses preeribed, they will be found io
operate in that gentle and salutary manner, which is. in
fact, their highest recommendation. That prejudice
usually existing against ailverti-el medicines, would
not be merited if bestowed on this. The . wonderful
cures it has performed and the acknowledged -celebrity
of its principals constituents, should at once commend
it to the pnhlic favor.

Mark this. It is an INTERNAL REMEDY — and
not an - external application,' and will core every case
of Piles, either bleeding or blind, internal or external,
and probably the only thing that will. There is no
mistake about it. It is a positive cure—speedy and
permanent. It is also a convenient medicine to take,
anti improves the general heal h in a remarkable man
ner. Each box contains twelve doses, at S a dose. It
is very mild in its operation, and may be taken in eases
of the most acute inflammation without danger. All
external applications are in the highest degree disagree
able, inconvenie t and offensive ; and from the very na
ture of thedisertee, inconvenient in their effects. This
medicine attacks the disease at its - source, and remoring
the cause, renders the core certain and permanent.
To NIARiII ED LA D tr.S.—Married ladies are almost in
variably subject to that painful and injurious disease,
the Piles, with consequent inflammation of the stomach,
