The great plains extending to the Rocky Moun .ains, the fields of 'alifoirnia and lie pastures of tho new States--on all these, in time, will be seen thorough-bred lioiscs and the inproved breeds of cattle, hogs, and sheep.

It will not do to take what oflrs, and depend uponl Iluick. Thle.-c is as little luck in farming, as in any tlier busi Ie;s. What your neighbor has to sell in (ti common ine is conumn enough ; lie will not sell you his best stock i you would not soll him yours. But the best blood can be bought pure, and that is what you want, pure bloud. It will answer all the purposes, even if the "points" are not so manifest. The blood you are sure to get with a guaranteed pedigree. A full grown Jersey or Alderney Bull will cost a few hundred dollars, say ,?00 or $300. A bull calf can be purchased for a thitd of the amountj or, possibly, a little more, as this stock is on the rise, and seems jubt now the most popular in the country. Thus the very thing that is needed -the male stock to-propagate froin may be had at a comparatively low rate. It needs but a cross of the .Jersey with our common stock to im prove it gre-tly, and put on a high range of profit the butter interest of the country. W here only butter is made this is the only true cotirse breed ing from the Jersey-as itis the bost1 the highest that can be reachedd For cheese1 the Alderney or Jersey is good for nothing, as most of the easein is replaced by the butter nakitig principle. For butter they exceed all other bteeds by far-not so much In the quantity as in the quality, though the quantity is on a level with that of the general dairy. The Jersey butter is interesting from the high price it connands, and inva riably ran3ing from five to teii oents per pound over other good bitter. But mostly the improved stook, which results from the cross on our common breed, that commiiands attonA tion. The richness of the milk, which is the prime iutid the stable quality of the Jersey, nev-r fails to be commu niented. lience a large milker of the herd is sure to be iimprov'ed by union, uniting7 both quantity and quality-theo ILtter int'ariably, the former less eritainly. T1htis comparison is relatively true of the coznmmon and iinproved breeds of horses, sheep, hogs, &a., &c. The latter with superior sir'e, compactness of frame, symmetry of form, rapid growth, early maturity and attraotive appearathed, possess valua ble d ist ieta ive qualities, thoroughly establishe 1 within themselves, and are capable of' imparting their qutalitius into others. The, knowledge of these impoirtant facts is spreadiog everywhere, and people now are rapidly learning tho important truth, thirt ri aluable horse1 oowj or other animal, can be raised as cheaply as ai poor one, For cheese, the A yrshire, of oourso is preferred, as this breed 1was pur posely bred to this end. Still the E'nglish prefer the shortahorn, or short. horn gradesi for dhees', and for the dairy in goeneral.
