DEVON CATTLE.?EXTRACT.
I brieve I go farther thin you. do in esteeming

cattle dealer from the Snota valley tended j
strongly to confirm me in my opin o ?. Mf J
stated that lie had h id much exjieri-' c
with Short-horns an I h? ir cross* s ; tha*
there was no doubt of th -irgrra: npti.ude to
feed vcli and ?t an oirly age, and to ac~
quire great w> igh!; but that hen*, their ad- j
vantages slopped ; that they'd I not hear a j
journey well. In fact, lie found tiia* they !
lost flesh, when in a drove, ah ut in proper- *
tion as they were w< H-br-d. A quarter
bred snima! would drive betti r than a half
bred, a half bred than a tfiree-qu trter bred, J
and so on. Now, if the short-horns do not j
drive well, where is their superiority for the !
districts mentioned ? They have not n
hom? market to eonsu.no their ea lie, which I
must be driven. Ti>e grnzer above men-!

ference is given to :lie largest animal, the
one that makes the great st weight 01 the

great deal more heel from a given quantity i
of food than the Suortitiorns, bir it is true ;
th'-re must be a few mure of them to carrv !

Hancock exprossod himself highly delighted
with the dairy and stork. Speaking
gen trally of Devon-, he said, to ore are no
cattle yield such goo J beef, except a very
few of the vtv best Soots. I Jo also said
he took ten shi!! ngs worth more of fit out
of I)evons than out of any sor? (same sized
animals.) Again h said the sirloin of a
Devon was longer by 5 inches, lain of any
other breed, (s tine s'ze,) an I that be could
cut three sirloin pieces out of a Devon,
when he could oulv cut two from any oilier I
And further, he said there is this
difference but ween Davons and Scots; th"
former have less offal beef and more roas-j

THE PANIC ? PIttCES OF THE XVLTlCAVUs.
We need not s-iy dint th'-rc is a perfect
panic in tire luuln^ o?i s market?every bodv
I knows that; but vv '! sign off:.-ring ? few
| remarks on the cua*; of it. A'i lexicographers
define th?* word panic to rowan * usud?
den undgroundless f or." That the pre?mlfrar,
:|?at multicauhs trees will not eel!
I at all, or, if ihny sr!\ that they w;ll bring
?; naming, or its equnnuenl* ts "groundless,"
r! w" have tio doubr. Time aad again we
i 1 have shown tiut this is not the season for
, i se!l;ng mul'.icaulis trees; that judicious peo,
j pie never purchase a perishable article six
f j months before they will have use for it;
> l that, conseo ier?t!y, no one will purchase
I muSticaulis trees to plant six months before
;; thoy can plan: thcn?, unless they ptt them
f' at a very gr<at reduction from their true
J ! value. Tlte.se f?c s will account to some
' for the present scat ?y of bona fide purchasers
ol'muilicaulis toes io the market.?
j j Now for the cause of the panic. Growers
s of trees are so anxious to realize n;oae ,
i each ro anxious to scli his tree?, ihat they
j have come into nrirkct bidore their trees
n ' l-ave fin shed grow;, c. jch with the hope of
finding a ptiivh tsnr before hin neighbour,
o j and thus they hav<> completely overstocked
{ihe market. Specr'ators have seen line
.. I ar.xh ty to sell, and of course sepped aside,
| thus allowing the p owers to depress the
: market by overstocking it as much as fx>ar.
| siblo. But, thoug i the speculators have
- i stepped aside, :ite\ h'vo not remained inact

? ! depressing the prices, They (the specula,
i tor-J arc circuiting all soils *?f reports?of
i ! sales at extremely low prices, dec, Aspecy'
j iutor, who hud ccntMctd taslspriug to de?
j liver 100,000 trees this fall at 12? rents,
, ; caused n sale by r Hciion to be advertised of
i ; 100,000 !re?'s, when l:e had not n tree iu
s *ll, but wishcj :o purchase. At the time
ot iht s lie no bidders appeared,?as w?.s
expected and desired by him, for every
s body understood toe thing?tad consequent'
lv, it was said in the published'fcport tliat a
j b;d could not bo _ot for them. A young
: in in, ho.vvvor, from h neighboring, county,
1 stepped up to the auctioneer, and requested
him to offer a lot of trees he had for sale,
beginning with 5,000 none under 5 fcei]nigh.
|Tne or ginal proposer of the sale bid
j cents, and tiie trees were struck off to ' |
there being no other bidder presem, at had
s ; been expected, and the young man with
i drew the balance. Forthwith i ns wd?, rfr
f attempt to sell?ort i! ? r, sham sain, was
; ' published hi all ih* p; ;>orst indicating that
' 1 only 5,000 trees upw ards of live feci high,
| would biing ten cents, and the others did
i. not even get a bid ! Now the whole object
of this trick of the speculator was to make
groivcrs think they could not get over ten
l> cetits a tr"cf kmc! therefore to induce them
d to st-.'i to htrn at iiinl price, and thus enable
t him to fill his contract of 100,000 at ten
8 cents *a tree?thus making two thousand
five hundred dollars, instead of losing some
' ten or fifteen thousand dollars by his foolish*
' contract. We g ve n ) names, cither of perh
soil or place ; hut we know the thing took
place not far Irom hie first of October, and
south of Mason and Dixon's line, and that
similar tricks are playci off* in all parts of
i- thecouniry. Tiu^-e are the causes of the
r- p inic, and these are the cans s why multicaulis
trees will i.ot sell at all, or if they sell,
2. why they sell at very low prices. But, after
the speculators have got possession of
all the trees thev want at extremely loir
prices, then they will lot the prices go up;
n, and then they wdl do more to ra se the pru
r> cos than they are now doing to depress
s, them. Let every grower of trees bear this
' in rarnd, Let them hold on to their two*
