Blood Stock -What is it 1
Many farmers have most curious notions in
regard to the meaning of the phrase "
Stock." Many have an idea that it must he
imported stock, and held at a high price, be
cause it has been brought across the ocean.
Rut in England there is a wide distinction
totweeu what is called blood stock and the
common stock of that country. Certain bree
ders of stock have been extremely nice in re
gard to breeding. They have selected from
the common herds of cattle the very best they
coulo tind, and have kept them apart from
the common run of cattle, casting off all the
inferior individuals that often show themselves
in the best herds.
By pursuing this conrse for years in succes
sion a race is superior to the common run of
cattle—and at length this race becomes so per
fect that you can place much reliance on the
progeny. Different courses have been pursu
ed by stock breeders in England—but gener
ally the aim has been to produce large animals,
and such as will fatten curly, regardless of
their merits as milkers.
The short horn Durhams meet the views of
those who pride themselves iri the growth of
the largest animals, and such as will fatten at
three or four years of age. These cattle are
said to fatten at less expense also than the
promiscuous herds of our country—but as re
liable milkers the full blood Durhams have
failed to give satisfaction to purchasers.
But a prejudice exists against what is call
ed " blood stock," that is, imported stock, and
the question is often asked why is not our own
stock as good as any that can be imported ?
We have cows of no particular breed that will
excel the general ruu of imported cows, and
why shall we not rely on them in preference to
what is termed " blood stock ?"
Now we Lave no idea that the farmers of
Britain are the only people capable of pro
ducing " blood stock." They have taken the
lead in this business, and to them we look for
information in regard to results—but we are
not bound, hand and foot, to the opinions of
foreigu breeders.
Let us examine this subject fairly. Is it
best to breed promiscuously and pick out of
the mass production the best looking individu
als—or is it better to endeavor to rear a race
from the most noted milkers, and keep that
race apart from the mean animals which are
often reared as farm stock ?
A drover who goes into the interior to buy
cows will prefer such as are bred by an old
farmer who has long been in the practice of
raising his own calves, and breeding from the
l>est of his cows. A fanner who has pursued
this course for 20 years or more has now, in
fact, " blood stock" of his own production, and
can calculate with considerable confidence on
the qualities of the calves or young cattle that
he has produced.
By pureuing this mode we can rear as good
blood stock as any foreigner who ever lived.
Time, patience, and strict attention arc need
ed to come to the result which foreign breed
ers have come to in the improvement of their
herds. We can have as good cattle as any
that have been produced in England if we will
have patience and continue long in the right
course.
It often happens thnt an individual cow of
no particular breed, will yield more milk and
butter than the average of bloodstock. What
of it? Will her progeny do the like? If
we cannot rely on her progeny we cannot ac
count her as of any great advantage to the
public, though her owner may have made pn>
fits out of her.
Drovers go aunually into the interior to buy
cows to supply a demand who live 011 the sea
board or near large towns where young cat
tle cannot be raised without great cost. A
shrewd drover picks up 30 or 40 of the best
cows that he can find in Termout or in Canada.
Well, he sells to those who cannot afford
to rear calves. The purchasers are benefitted
by this coarse of trade, but the State is not
advancing by this course of traffic. The best
lot of cows is transferred from Vermont to
Rhode Island—'bat not the least advance is
made in the improvement of stock. Rhode Is
land still continues to make veal of all the
calves, and Vermont continues to rear all, good
and bad.
And yet we hear croakers declaiming against
blood stock, or select stock, because a bastard
individual is sometimes found to prove supe
rior to the average of blood stock or legiti
mate stock.
Imported stock, and all blood stock, should
be judged by its real merits. If Americans
will pay the same attention to breeding which
foreigners have done, they can, without doubt,
rear as good animals as any of foreign pro
duction. Will they uot make the trial ?
Mass. Plowman.
TKY IT !—liet every farmer take a memo
randum of seeding each wheat field in his
neighborhood, and compare after the next
harvest the difference between the early aud
the late sown wheat.
Let liim also make a memorandum of the
depth of ploughing adopted by each farmer,
aud compare the difference between the crops
on the deep ploughed and shallow ploughed
land.
Let him likewise compare the quality and
quantity, and the value in market of the wheat
raised by the farmer who took the greatest
care, at the expense of much time and labor,
to procure the liest seed, with the crop of the
man who took the first seed that came to hand.
Write these things all down, and call on us
five years hence, and let us know if you have
not saved twenty per cent, on your wheat crop
ever since you adopted the plan.
If the farmer won't do it, let the wife do
it.—lf the wife will not, let the children. But
try it at any rate. Now is the season to do
it. You can do it in half an evening.
To REMOVE VERMIN FROM CATTLE. —Dis*
solve camphor gum in uew rum, making the
liquid pretty strong of camphor, and apply it
on various parts of the body of the animal.—
It is a harmless application, so far as the ani
mal is concerned, leaving the coat free and
clear, but destroys the lice. In about two or
three weeks after the first application, rub on
the liquid again, in order to kill the young
vermin that may have hatched out after the
first nibbing. I know of no safe application
which will prevent the eggs or nits from hatch
ing.—Correspondent of the N. E. Parmer.

HelmhoUVs Highly Concentrated Fluid Ei tract Bvchu,
for Diseases of the Bladder and Kidneys, Secret Diseases,
Strictures, Weaknesses, and all of tlie Sexual
Organs, whether in Male or Female, from whatever cause
they may have originated, and no matter of how long
standing.
If you have contracted the terrible disease, which when
once seated in the system, will surely go down from one
generation to another, undermining the constitution, and
sapping the very vital fluids of life, do not trnst yourself
in the hands of Quacks, who start up every day in a city
like this, and fill the papers with glaring falsehoods too
well calculated to deceive the young and those not ac
quainted with their tricks. You cannot be too careful in
the selection of a remedy In these cases.
The fluid extract Buchu has been pronounced by emi
nent Physicians
THE GREATEST REMEDY EVER KNOWX.
It is a medicine perfectly pleasant in its taste, and very
innocent in its action, and yet so thorough that it annihi
lates every particle of Hie rank and poisonous virus of this
disease ; and, unlike other remedies, it does not dry up
the disease in the blood.
Constitutional Debility, brought on by self-abuse, a most
terrible disease, which has brought thousands of the hn
man race to untimely graves, thus blasting the brilliant
ho|>es of parents, and blighting in the bud the glorious
ambition of man v a noble youth, can lie cured by this
INFALLIBLE REMEDY.
And as a medicine which must benefit everybody from tlie
simply delicate to the confined and despairing invalid, no
equal is to be fotiud, acting both as a cure and preventive
HEMBOLD'S HIGHLY CONCENTRATED
Compound Fluid Extract Sarsaparilfa.
For purifying the Blood, removing all diseases arising
from excess of Mercury, exposure and imprudence in
life, chronic c>.....t:t.i:-al disease, arising from an im
pure state of the blood, and the only reliable cud effect
ual remedy known for the cure of Scrofula. Salt Rheum,
Scald Head, Ulcerations of the Throat and la-gs. Pains
and Swellings of the Bones, Tetter, Pimples on the face
and-all Scaly Eruptions of the Skin.
This article is now prescribed by some of the most dis
tinguished Physicians in the Country, and has proved
more efficient in practice than any preparation of Sarsa
parilla yet offered to the public. Several cases of secon
dary Syphilic, Mercurial and Scrofulous diseases have en
tirely recovered in the incurable wards of our public insti
tutions, which iiad for many years resisted every mode of
treatment that could be devised. These cases furnish
striking examples of the salutary effects of this medicine
in arresting some of the most inveterate diseases, after the
glands were destroyed and the bones already affected.
NOTlCE—Letters from responsible Physicians and Pro
fessors of several Medical colleges, and certificates of cures
from patients will lie found accompanying both prepara
tions.

Time, Money, and Ziabor Saved
BY USING THE GERMAN CIIEMI
csI Erosive Soap. Made from a German process,
and. as believed, not known to any other manufacturer
in the United .States. The proprietors having tested this
article in various ways during the past six months, now
offer it to the public as possessing the following advan
tages over other washing nnapa :
Ist. It may be used equally well with hard or soft wn
ter.
2.d It requires but half the quantity required of other
soap to accomplish the same oiiject.
3d. Clothes need no boiling and but little rubbing,
(most articles none,) thus avoiding their wear upon a
wash board.
4th. It requires less than one half the lime and labor to
do the washing of a family, that it requires with the best
family soap ; does not Injure the fabric aud tends to set
the colors.
6th. For cleaning Paints, and removing Grease, Tar
and Printer's Ink, it i<> unsurpassed.
(Ith. One pint nil will go as far, for any use, as 3 pounds
of common rtwoi oop, or 2 pomuls of hest family win.—
Machinists, Printers and Painters will find it an invalua
ble article for washing hands—as it does not chap, but
softens the skin.
H is warranted to give perfect satisfaction or the money
wtll be refunded.
