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. American
