Lewis, of New York, rea f re_ a J taper before a convention of iluirj roy*! men in Ontario, from which we e> Mu-j tract: rely -^Sa'n? 0,10 breed of cows will d i ilie | well on some land, where some otlu and breed would be almost or quite wort I labi*j less. Hence, 1 advise every dairyina died to select that particular cow or bree best, suited to Ins hums, wnere sue is I ^Uic obtain tier food, and best adapted i emu'that brunch of dairy farming in whic ' I'i'-1 lie is engaged. iri"sl I'i f?1' instance, your pasture lain Cao- are rough, or on steep side bills, selei and | a small, active cow, and if butter-mal "J i ing is your business tbe Jersey or l)i .ami von and tbeir grades from our nati\ n.lcr cows will prove satisfactory. Hut mm! cheese-making is your business, or tl r sol-j production of milk for market, tl .A,n\ Ayrshire is tbe cow. Wbile her mil aths",'s wi*l 1 adapted for cheese, or for ma 'l'l'ie ket, it is better than the average cow y by for butter. Again, if your pastui "f.yy lands are productive and moderate] that level, with butter-making your bus r illC sc'leet the Holderness or tl :us<? Princess family of fcfhort-horns, < <>i " iiieir grades nom our name cow I ^ c'^ees0 or milk only be your ol est of jt-'Ct, the llolstcins will prove satisfa yagu, I lory. I'ti t-1 *^s ^1C section of individual cow itcof suited to our several farms and adaji jed to our various wants, would be t< fpljj? I much of an undertaking, and requi ly Ui-jso much time and care, it can be doi !-iie<i? best by selections from our herds "ative cows, and the use on these of v :?j>c thoroughbred bull of that breed d ktcp. sired. In this way, if the selectioi 1,1 as . be carefully made, a herd can be bui ins a' up in a little while founded on our n "?its livestock, and at sinull expense, I s to exceeding in value any of ourordina ink-, herds. It lias been a matter of su iu.u prise to me. ihat our intelligent ai si ii"s progressive dairymen do not more go Hunt orally adapt their cows to their sever x i wants by breeding a sufficient numb on'-ii ca^h year to make good the annual 1<i :iiial- from old age, accident and disease. Titie- cow reared on the farm where she is ' urn.- remain is always more value to h ia.s a owner than a strange cow. j First, she is acclimated ; second, s! K? isacquainted with the herd with whii rv??K?i|she must associate; thi:d, she is I ire of niiliar with the lands from which si 's'"e obtains her food, and can travel ov mix- it with greater ease than a stran ut ivc cow. 1 s was!

A teamster in Majii street says he m start the worst balky horse by takig him out of the shafts and making im go around in a circle till he is ddy.

To cure a balky horse simply piaco 3?r hands o-v^r the horse's nose and mt ofl" his wind till he wants to go, id then let him go. 4. The brains of a horse seem to curtain but one idea at a time; thorei.e, continued whipping only conrms lii.sstubborn resolve. If-you can y any means give him a new subject > think of you will generally have no ouble in starting him. 5. A simple rvaH'ly is fo t;:!;e a conleof turns of .-lout twine aiound his irelegs. just below the knee, tight :iough for the horse to feel, and tie in bow knot. After the first check ho ill go dancing oil* and after going a mi l distance you can get out and reiovo the string to prevent injury to ie tendon in your further progress. i.
