will not do to take what oflrs, and

luck in farming, as in any tlier busi

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,

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

of frame, symmetry of form, rapid
growth, early maturity and attraotive
