We talk about native cattle ; if by this w e understand mongrels, tnondescripts, or mix tures of the run out blood of various breeds, then the name is misused. We shou'd say 44 common cattle." If we use the name rightly it w uld indica'e that climate, feed, and treatment, had influenced the common •tock of cattle, so that thoe of a particular district had become in many points very sim ilar. Thi is not the case, so far as we know, anywhere in this country, except to a very limited extent, though we almost wonder a' it. There was a time, a few years since, when it seemed as if we might expect to see •uch native breeds developed in various parts of our country, but the general disem Ination of the improved British bieeds has, we think, broken up any foundation of new breeds which might have been laid. The red cattle of Connecticut now have almost all a dash of North Devon blood, "introduced within forty years ; but previous to that the cattle having come from the south of Eng land, where the preva'ant color of the native breeds is rod and having been bred with some intelligence, had preserved their color and improved in form, so that though differ ing essentially from any pure English breed, they yet agreed quite as well among them selves as some recognized breeds. Throughout the older Northern Stater, cattle have been bred for years for milk and veal more than beef, and yet our common cows have never been reliable milkers. It has even become proverbial that a good cow'? heifer calves were rarely equal to their dam, although bulls coming of famous milkers ■were more frequently getters of good milch stock. Famous milkers are always to be found among the so-called *' Natives," and il one wished to established a fine dury herb, his best plan has been, and si ill is to select through the country these deep milkers where ever he can find theal— and yet the maintenance of the herb from males of hi? own breeding has been always attended with •disappointment, and its deterkration in good points. The same result has been obtained in re garn to breeding for beef, for H was not un til the introduction ot the improved Biitisb breeds, DcVons, Short horns, and Ilerefores. thai uniform excellence of quality, rapni grow'h ani economy of feeding , could be predicaied with anything lixe the certainty With which we now raise fc rade entile for bfcf, notwithstanding, the immediate pro -geny of certain animals occat-ionally resem bled their sires or dams in early maturity, eesy fattening, excellence of the beef. We piesent these facis in order to enforce the important fact thai no heeder can expict to improve his slock except by breeding ex clusively from through bred or full blood males, This is a broid, general principle and equally applicable to all polygamous animals, that is, those which do not pair, from horses to baru yard fowls. FOOD FOR Cows.—ln the correspondence of the Ohio Farmer occurs the following : 41 I have had twenty five cows to inilK, and found timothy and wild grass the btst. To feed in winter use shorts, ground oats, shorts and corn meal; shorts make more milk than clear meal; oa's cround do better than ei thgf ; but corn meal with aborts makes rich? •r milk, but no more of it. I have fed po taloes largely ; they do tolerably well, but milk a day or two old gets strong. Rutabaga turnips and carrots would not do for me to make butter from the milk ; but of all the roots I ever tried, sugar beet is the best. I heard pumpkins were good to make milk, and tried them. I had twelve milkers; 1 divided theui —fed s x with pumpkins three weeks and all run on grass alike. Those that had pumpkins gave not a gill more milk than the others, but I behevo it was a little rich •r," Working oxen and diary cows ate greatly- Improved in appearance, and, it is believed. ID productive power al?o, by being regularly cleaned and carded each day. They will thrive all the better for the operation, take- a higher position in the matket, besides mak ing munificent returns in the shape of extra labor, or in enhanced contributions to the stores of the cheese and butter rooms. PUMPKIN YEAST—B il a pumpkin and ma?h fine, thicken it with Indian meal and a handful of salt; when cool, add two cups of yeast. This is very convenient f..r winter i as it will keep four months or more in winter If kept in a cellar where it wtl; not freeze. All yeast should be kept in a cellar where it will not freeze. RAR A S. u th Carolina exchange say new grapca ultimately do better than old kinds. Many persons in the South have dug up and cast away large vineyards of the Ca tawba, Warren, Isabella, as worthless cum berers of the ground. Ditching, under.- draining, inverting the soil two to two and a half feet, all does no good, after the third year ; and any of the varieties will hoar well on the third year ; after that, not takes them, ®nd not a fourth, or a tenth, of a crop can be matured. To BROIL A FOWL.— Split the fowl down the back, season it very well with pepper, and put iion the gridiron with tie inner part next the fire, which must bo very ctear. Hold the gridiron at a considerable distance from the fire, and allow the fowl to remain until it is nearly half done ; ihen turn it, taking great care that it does not burn Broil it ol a fine brown, and serve it up with •tewed mushrooms or a sauce with pickled mushrooms. A duck may be broiled the •aipewiy. If the fowl is very large, bait roast it, '.hen cui it into four quarterr aud ftnlsh 05 tha gridiron. fjiiscellatifw. A WESTERNR R.
