Now, utility being a part of beauty, In anything, we bo'd that the more useful an object It, ceupUd with our daily require, menu, the more beautiful it become by association. Therefore, every thing which eurreund the rurul heme ihould be at per fect of it kind aa our circumstance or op. portunilies will admit. Cow on the farm, or at the country reeidenoe, are ioditpensa. lie. Oxen may, or may not be to. VV will commence with the cow. She give ui milk ; the milk yield cream ; the cream make butter three indispensable article of good houte.keeping. Row, whnt con atitulea tgood cowl We will give you our definition. First One that gives a large yield of rich milk. Second A gentle, kind creature, that feed well, and i quiet in her habit. Third Beauty of appearance in form, proportion, color, and ize lb latter not ever largo nor diminu tively tmall. There are variou breed of cow aa there are of other domestic ani mala, and good milker among the most of them. We are an advocate of breeds in everything which i propagated folk even for there J a difference, strange a you may think, in the breed of common humanity, all around u. We could give chapter on thi if we had limit, hut thit iinot the eubject of our present writing our discourse is of cattle. : Firat and foremost, then, we acknowl edge but two distinct breeds of the cow, which are perfect of their kind, and that are likely to be applied to the ue of our people at large, if they seek an improved tariety the Short Horn aud the Devon. These are so marked in their features and characteristics, and combine, withal, so much of style and beauty, that they will become the univeranl favorites of those ho possess a marked taste in horned animal ; although, before we get through, we will mention a couple of others, possessing at tractions of a certain character, to which wa will yield all proper acknowledgement. In the choice of breeds, somewhat will do pend on your climate, toil, and position. If your soil be rich, and your pastures good, the Short Horn is the cow for your choice. In size, she is large, in color red, red and white, spotted, roan or creamy while all beautiful colors when clean, and no color ia agreeable when dirly. Her value, depending somewhat on the purity of her blood, her style of appearance and milkinn; quality, may ba from 875 to 300. For milking purposes only, the first is reasonable um, the latter extravagant even a ''breeder price. For ell useful and ornamental objects combined, a hun dred dollars will secure the cow you want; and she is a cheap animal a', that. She will give you, on good pasture, twenty to thirty quarta of milk a day, muking aix to twelve pounds of butter a week, and on hay and slops half to two thirds the quan. tity of each for six month of the year, nd a proportionably good yield for four month more, allowing her to bring a calf very year, in the pasture, the paddock, the stable, or the yard, she ia alwaya an object of beauty and admiration, if well kept, and without good keeping no cow is worth anything. The Devon is a beautiful, graceful, deer like croature, of a cherry rod color, a gu xolle eyo, an upturned, long, graceful horn, as lithe in her actiou aa a fawn, gentle aa a kitten, and usually an excellent milker. Smaller and more aotiva than the Short Horn, the will subsist on closer pasture and let (table food, although the requires good ksep. She will, if of a milking fam ily, give as much milk and butter accord ing to tha food she consumes as the Short Horn; so that in an economical view they are about equal the point of difference being in the taste you indulge for one or the ether variety. Her salt value it in about the tame proportion to the Short Horn a Ler weight and quality. In bill or mountain scenery, the activo Devon is perfectly uited to the place, while on plain and low land the Short Horn it in its truer character. Yot either of them, in any habitable place, are useful and satisfactory cow, and beautiful object to look upon. Having the place, and wishing to provide yourself with one or the other of the vari ety of cows in question, we suppose you to keep one to half a doxen, as your family seeds, or the demand of your farm may require, you may need some intruction how to obtain them. If you are accus. tomed to dock, in their purchase and sale, you know, of course, where to buy them. If not, you must get a trutty cattle jobber or a friend to do it for you. These de scriptions of catile are now kept in every Northern and Middle State, both in pure fad nixed blood, and with one or the other you may b sure of bvitiu; supplied. Aud here come in the policy of your being settled in a good neighborhood people like youraelf, having a tane for good an imals, and disposed to keep them. It i of little use to get a fine cow or two for breeding purpose, all by yourself. You are deposed lo keep them good to propa gate their kind, of equal value at least, and to Improve them if you can. If you keep loo few cow to afford ilia expense of a bull, a few neighbor can join in his pur chat and keep Lira for mutual benefit; otherwise It ia ef liltle ue to keep a fiat cow, and breed from her nothing but scrub, or bsstard, fit only for the butcher, and poor at that. A calf or two can he profitably reared oa almost every country place, either to dispose of to your liberal neighbors, or to supply your own increas ing wants. All this, however, your own aud jour neighbor's goodaeota will govrn. But, let tha bull affair Hand aa it may, by all 'mean hava tha improvtd cow, one or more of them. Though naming the Short Horn and De von at tha cow we prefer, and which, ow ing lo their rapid dissemination over the country, are easy to obtain, there are two other varieties which have their advocates, and are truly useful, and, in their own sep arata characters, valuable milkers, as well aa agreeable objects of aigbt. VVa allude to the Ayrshire and the Aldorney. The first of these i the fumoua Scotch dairy cow, a composite variety, bred near a cen tury ago Into a olaat, by a cross of the English Short-Hero bull, on the native Ky loe, acclimated the Scotch low lande. She ia uiually red aad while io color, the red risiog into a yellowish dua, or falling into a chestnut brown, her general appear ance being that of a diminutive Short Horn, with leta atyle and aymmetry, but ttill of a marked character. They are good milker, though not to good in Amer ica as in Scotland, (in which latter country the frequent rains give them always good pasture,) but still both good in milk and butter. They are gentle, kind ia temper, and easily kept. The Alderney it the "paddock" cow of the English gentry in the south of Eng land. The Channel Islands of Guernsey, Alderney, and Jersey, are her native soils, where she has for centuries been bred and improved brought originally from the ad. jucent coast of Normandy. She is a di minutive creature, fawn color and white in complexion, with a soft, silky udder, yield ing a moderate quantity of tho creamiest milk in the world I She is delicnte, too, in habit, requiring warm housing in rough wcaiher, and plenty of nulritioua food. She is not beautiful to the eye, wearing a tcrapgy look ; but with the eye of a ga zelle, and a bend as blood-like a the elk more like an elk, in fact, than ony other bating the horn, which is a little crumpled thing that may barely be called a horn. She is way. backed, crooked-logged, and cat-hammed, yet, withal, ha a look of caste and high breeding, even in her di minutive uglinesa, and will ornament your paddogk yard or pasture, as your lasts or partiality may direct. Thus we have given you a aelection of these four varieties, and, without declaring our own preference of either, you may view each and select for yourselves. This, however, wo distinctly ssy, that no country dweller need think himself a man of taste who does not adopt one or the oilier ef theso, either "thorotigh-hred," or of suffi. cient of the breed in their composition to mark them distinctly from the "common" cattle of the country, and show that he is a man of taste in the aeleotion of his cows, A mean-looking cow on a highly-cultivated country place i an absolute disgrace to it occupant, and no one of any spirit or judgment will submit to. tha keeping of one where a bettor oan be found. We have seen such, and could name them if we would; but we trust our hints above given will be sufficient to secure better things in the future. The cow disposed of, the oxen, when thoy are required, come next nuder observ ation. The bright, high-headed, well-matched Devon ox, is the beau ideal of bovine ex cellence for the yoke, and nothing else will compare with him for activity and docility in harness that is, in the yoke, at the pole, or the chain. We have seen capital Short Horns in the yoke ; so we have some splendid Hereford; but a a whole they do not compare with the Devon, even when no higher than half breed ; and for all purposes of the working ox, the latter have our decided preference.
