It is held in high estimation alike in England, Scotland and Ireland, and is found to bo adapted to tho varying climate of till three countries. At the last meeting of tho Jtoyal Agricultural Society of Eng land, thcie wero 397 pons of sheep exhibited, in HO classes, for 13 different breeds, and of tli.it number no fewer than 127 j entiles wero Shropshries. The Shorpshiro U the only bleed of sheep for which thoio has been established in Kngland a flock hook for tho oilici.il legislation of pedigrees. These un varnished facts prove that we do not in tho slightest dcgiee cxngger.ito when wo describe this as tho mott populm ttritisb. biecd of sheep of tho probcntday. The Shropshiic is clearly composite or mixed in its origin,- and it is only com paratively recently that it has been recognized as a distinct breed. Neither .ov oi YotmU mention it, as it now oxistH, in their histovit's of Iiritisli slitop. In fact, it was only at tho Gloucester Siiow of the Koyal Agiicultui.il Society of Kngland, in 18."i3, that it obtained cl.ispcri. It again diopped outof tho prize Mjheiluln; but, in n .spouse to the power fill repie'onfatioiiH of hicodei'-o tho National Society formally and pemu nontly ac emded it seji.ua to cl.i'-rs, nlthough it v. is not until ISO 1, at Leeds, th'it its iir-t ;,ric it imjucfsion wasmndey on tin nniiil-hi ilic iiBiieultui.il piibln as ii biii'd )n"-i'siiig pfLoi.il mnit ind vsliio.

Tho oiiginal breed was horned, and tho fust attumpt ut ii pioeinout was to get lid of tlu-o incum brances, iii'd there is little doubt that this was ell'eeted by a cross of tho South down.

ThB Dorder Lei cester is tho nicest lieaded among sheep; hao often seen a yearling ewe pointed out as being a r.oelty for an aitist. The Hamjishiio Downs aro tho largest and coarsest sheep of tho L'nglish bieeds; first-class as mutton, but don't mature early. They h.ne heads as huge as an oidmary calf's bead.

As this condition in the cow so fie- quently commends itself to tho atten tion of the farmer, especially after this season, wo note that Pi of. Heath, a New York etminarian, says in an article in tho American D.iiiyman "Let a diop of ficsh milk diop into a glass of jiuio water. If tho milk promptly dis seminates itself thiougli tho w.itei, tho cow that, jidded the milk is not with calf; but if it sinks to tho bottom of tho glass us it falls upon tho water, and does not jiroduce but littlo oi a milky cloud, the cow is jiregnant. The sptcilie gun it and isci.htycf the al buminous milk being homier than wn toi, thus retains the crop of the milk and causes it to sink." This is certainly an easy method of testing this condition and will be of gieat pi.ictic.il Milue. Let it bo rigidly ttulcd. The Smut of Wboat.

In this countiy it generally moans disease which leaves the grain neai ly its noim.il size and slnqv, but filled with a black and stinking dut; this is tho ono doubtless rcfoned to by a Wyoming inquirer accordingly it alono will be consideiod heio. It may, how over, be well to say that the wheat smut of tho books, and a'so of tho linglish fiumois, is that which turns the whole hoad into a black, dusty jiowder, and is known in foiiio paits of this country as blast, black blast, black blight, etc. The names by which tho wheat smut is gen- eially known in England aio bunt or stinking smut, and under these it has often been desciibed. It is a truo disca-o, and, liko many of tlio dise.isOs of animals and nuiu, is tho icsiilt of the growtli of a ji.it asitic plant. This w heat pin astic, know n to botanists as Tilletia caiios, consists of slender thie.uls of micioseojiic sio which in sinuate themselves between the cells and and tissues of the young wheat jilailt, diawing theiefioin tho nutrient inatleis, and tbeicby lodueing eunsideiably the geueial it.ility of the atlcctcd plant.

Pure Breeds or Mongrels. If it is not generally known it should be, that thoroughbred fowls generally requhe far lees labor and trouble in their management than the common fowls of the country. We know that a contrary opinion widely piovails, which we cousidor ample justification fo' this article. Above we have stated a fact as stubborn as a Mexican mule, and all the contrary opinions of the vast multitude of jieoplo who don't know anything about the matter can't affect it, though thov mav work mischief in other di- icctions. In conversation with a fancier, a few dajs ago, even he took issue with us on tins vory dictum, and it was full two minutes'before we could bring him to confess his error. What ho really did btliovo was that it requued more labor to pioperly atti nd to tine poultry than to let tonnnon ponltiy attend to them selves, which is not even distantly 10 lated to the quostion at issue. Tor a number of ye.us wehavo raided both kinds simultaneously and alter nately, and have thus had abundant op poitunitv to form a correct opinion, and claim that we have dono so. Take, for iiufcince. any of the docile breeds, such as Hrahm.is, Cochins, Langsliaus, AVy audottcs, Plymouth Kocks, etc., and comp.ue their habits with those of the wild, uninanagenblo barnyard fowls w hich, in a flock of fifty, will show forty nine constitutionally dill'eient charac teis. Somo will not stay at homo if theio .no any neighboring flocks; somo cannot be kejit out of the houso ; somo nic incessant scratcheis; somo aio tui bulcnt and quarrelsome; somo will not lay and somo will not set, and most of them will not do anything you want them to do; (and candor requires no more) some me good layers ami goou niotbeis. How can such a flock be Dionerlv managed'' Can it bo done at all? Pure weeds aic docile, easily handled and easily re-trained ; they cm slay at home without cotting into mischief, and lay and set and lay again with the legu laiily imparted by their blood. Their tic.ifmcnt can bo managed with tho reg ul.iiity of clock-work, converting tho en tiro ojioiation ftomaniiksome.and often exasperating task, to a jilcasaht pastime. Thoioughbred poultiy is not inco n patiblewith a good vegetable oi flower gaiden. Tho loader piobably under stand! tho relations which subsist bo twrcn common fowls and these useful adjuncts, to tho family comfort. There is ono point, which in a spirit of fairness wo admit tho common jiossesses an ad vantage over piuo breeds; their vaiiega led size and color enifbles ono to count them with much gieater ease than a flock nnifoini in every particular.

Tilth in sonic form or other is the pi'uno caiiso of -oino of tho worst ills that alUict chicken lle.sh, and it suicly aggra vates all pjultiy (Ik-eases. This tilth may bo in tho air, or it may bo in tho fcod and drink, but wherever it i, or in whatever foiin taken into tho siskin, it will siuely ean-e disease. Dampness is another direct causo of disease. It does not hurt fowls to inn about in t'e rain, provided they huvo u dry house-to go to when thoy get tired of paddling ahout in the wet, but it does hurt them to roost in a house that is nl v.i)3 damp.
