History of Short Horn Cattle, and Their
Yalue.
Next to the horse, the cow is justly valued1
as the most useful animal which man has been
able to domesticate and retain permanently in
his service, and yet it is strange to see how
they are neglected and abused; receiving less
care and attention than almost any animal we
have.- They are turned loose in the spring and
summer to roam the woods and. pick what they
can get, and in the fall and winter they are
turned in the fields to ruin the land by tramp?
ing it to death. Try it one year by feeding
them under a nice, warm shelter, where they
can enjoy both their rest and food, instead of
leaving it in the fields, and you will be aston?
ished at the condition of your stock, increased
production of your land, accumulation of ma?
nure and increase of milk and butter, which
will more than repay you for your services and
attention. In the spring, ask your neighbor
over to look at your stock, and help haul out
your manure. But it is not only requisite that
they should have a good warm shelter and
plenty to eat, but also put in charge of a per?
son of character, on whom the utmost reliance
can be placed, for the act of milking is one
which requires great caution, for if not careful?
ly and properly done, the quantity of milk will
be diminished, and the quality inferior, for to
a person whom they dislike, they never give
their milk freely.
Whatsoever differences of opinion may pre?
vail respecting the comparative merits of our
several Dreeds of cattle, it must be admitted
that the Short Horn present themselves to no?
tice under circumstances of peculiar interest.
Possessing in an eminent degree a combination
of qualities which have generally been consid?
ered incompatible, and rendered irresistibly
attractive to the eye by their splendid frames
and beautifully varied colors, it is not surpris?
ing that they have become objects of public
curiosity; that they have realized for their
breeders enormous sums of money, and that
throughout our own land, and in every foreign
eountry where agriculturre is attended to, they
are in increasing request. It might teud to
throw much light on the science of feeding and
breeding, could these animals be traced in
the progress of their improvement. Of the
extent of that improvement, we may form an
estimate by placing together one of the im?
proved and one of the unimproved race. You
will find a great difference between the North?
ern and Western cattle, the Western being
much superior and commanding higher prices,
with the exception of the New York Mill's
Herd, as the climate and pasturage suit them
better. Ohio has obtaiued the highest price
ever paid for a bull. They generally buy cows
from the Northern sales to keep up their stock,
thus avoiding the system of breeding in too
much. The earliest periods of which we have
any account of our breeds of cattle, the coun?
ties of York and Durham have been celebrated
for their Short Horns, but principally in the
first instance. On account of their reputation
as extraordinary milkers, at that particular
time, they found their way to England, but by
whom they were imported is unknown, but
there is a tradition that, towards the close of
the seventeenth century, a bull and some cows
were introduced into Holdemess. In color,
they resembled the improved Short Horns, be?
ing occasionally red, red and white, white and
roan, though tne last named color was not then
so prevalent as now; the white,in all probabil?
ity, they obtained'from being crossed on the
white wild breed.
The Short Horns continued to sustain their
excellence and celebrity in various hands, until
Mr. Charles Collings adopted them, when he
manifested a superiority of skill as a breeder,
which, in a very brief period, secured him \
large fortune. Whatever had been the merits
of the Short Horns, Mr. Collings greatly im- j
proved them, both in form and milking quali?
ties, and though it has been asserted by some
that his success was the result of chance,
arising from the possession of an animal, Hab
back, with the merits of which, it is supposed,
he was at one period unacquainted, but others
are of the opinion that Mr. Collings' success
resulted from a deliberate and well considered
plan. He avoided the system of breeding in
and in too much, by judiciously cropping on
ether stock, and was sensible, also, of the diffi?
culty of breeding, with anything like a cer?
tainty, lar^e, good animals. It seems to have
Keen his aim, though, to reduce the size of Iiis'
breed, and, at the same time and by that means,
to improve its form. This he is supposed to
have effected in the first instance, through the
medium of a bull, called Habback, ah animal
respecting which, there has been much contro?
versy, principally touching the purity of his
blood?a question now of little importance.
Mr. Collings' sale having settled the public
judgment and taste?obtaining a higher price
than any other breeder for his stock. The
origin of the Duchess Short Horn, a famous
strain of cattle, which have become so popular,
and sell at such enormous prices, one cow of
New York Mills Herd having brought forty
thousaud dollars, are descended.from Charles
Collines' Herd, Thomas Bates having bought
of Collings two cows, one in 1804 and one in
1810.. Mr. Bates selected this tribe from hav?
ing found that they were great powers, quick
feeders, with fine qualities of meat, consuming
little food in proportion to the progress they
made, and- also from finding that they were
equally remarkable as great milkers; the first
cow he bought gave seven gallons of milk per
day, and the milk yielded eighteen pounds of
butter in a week. It has been frequently as?
serted that the Short Horns are bad milkers;
indeed, that no sort of cattle are so deficient
in milk, but this deficiency does not proceed
from the cows being of the Short Horns. Had
the llesh been neglected as much as the milk,
and the property of giving milk as much
cherished as the development of flesh, they
would have been d'jep milkers. It would be
to desire an impossibility to desire the full
development of hesh, fat, and milk at the same
time. But there is no large secretion of flesh
and fat at one time, and a large secretion of
milk at another, from the same cow, for it is
unquestionably true, that every perfection in
cattle?whether it be one of form, of quality
of flesh, of disposition to fatten, or to yield
milk, can be promoted and retained solely by
the breeder's devoted attention to this particu?
lar object, and if one object be allowed a para?
mount importance and practice, other objects
will suffer in proportion as they are neglected.
The greatest yield of milk and butter on re?
cord, is from a Short Horn cow. Mr. T. S.
Cooper, of Coopersburg, Pennsylvania, has a
Short Horn, nine years old, giving in good
pasture, wheu in her flesh, thirty-two quarts of
milk per day, and seventeeu pouuds of butter
per week. Mr. George Law, of Baltimore, had
an imported Short Horn cow, Sophy, which
gave, when well fed aud in full milk, thirty
eight quarts per day. In 1835, affidavits were
sworn before a magistrate in the Uuited States,
that an improved Short Horn produced at the
rate of twenty pounds butter a week. They
are not only great but also constant milkers,
and seldom remain dry above six weeks or two
months, before the time of calving. Many
consider it a sufficient proof of false estiinato
of the value of the Short Horns, that the price
is ten times greater than the animals would
bring as beef in market or than their proceeds
amount to in the dairy. In deciding this point,
it must be remembered that their value does
not depend on their qualities for immediate
use, but on their means of increasing the breed
and improving our common stock. Suppose
that a variety of wheat may be obtained,
which will produce, with the same culture, five
bushels more to the acre than our common
wheat, consequently in buying wheat for the
exclusive purpose of growing seed, a person
could well afford to pay five or ten times the
value of our common wheat; or you might take
the Dickson cotton seed, which sold just after
the war, and still sells for five dollars per
bushel by David Dickson, which is twenty
times the value of our common seed. There?
fore, reasoning will show that the price of
Short Horn cattle is not fictitious, but depends
on their real value, which is increasing in?
stead of decreasing, the prices paid this year
being higher than ever.
The First Bale of Cotton.
The first bale of new cotton this year, classing
I strict good ordinary, was grown on the Eio
Grande, shipped from Brownsville, Texas, on
i the 7th inst., and received at New Orleans on
the 13th inst., to be forwarded to New York.
The first bale last year came from the same
place, and passed through New Orleans July
10th. As the crop along the Rio Grande ma
! tures early in June, the receipt of this bale is
no indication of the forwardness of the present
crop, which is acknowledged to be much later
than last year. The New York Journal of
Commerce thus alludes to the receipt of the
new crop bale in that city: "The first bale of
the new cotton crop of 1874 was received here
yesterday by Messrs. Woodward & Stillman,
commission merchants, 74 Wall street, and sold
in front of the Exchange by J. H. Draper &
Co., auctioneers, at 86 cents per pouud. to
Messrs. Ernest Beyer & Co., exporters. It was
grown by L. J. Haynes, of Cameron County,
Texas, and consigned to Woodward & Stillman
by E. 'Yturria & Bro., of Brownsville, Texas.
Messrs. Woodward & Stillman were the receiv?
ers also of the first bale of last year's Texas
crop on the 15th of July of that year. The
grade of this cotton was good ordinary to strict
good ordnary. The amusement and expecta?
tions that surround the sale of the first bale of
cotton of the season are interesting. In the
South the man who produces the first bale is
looked upon as a hero, and his name sounds
along the cotton belt to rebound to the place
of starting with accumulated honors. The buy?
er (and the man's name this time is Beyer)
ships it abroad, say to Bremen. In the course
of a month or so the firm of Beyer & Co., will be
known at Manchester and every cotton mart or
manufacturing place in Europe as the buyers
of the first bale of cotton, just as the buyer of
the first ticket to the Jenny Lind concerts was
distinguished for his enterprise, or the mer?
chant who advertises his wares is distinguished
for his perfect taste?the 'casting of bread up?
on the waters.' Messrs. Woodward & Stillman
do a large Texas business, and are as happy as
the 'firstbale man' over their customer's success.
There will be pleuty of first bales hereafter,
from every State along the belt reaching up
from Lousiaua to North Carolina, and embra?
cing west the Indian Territory and Arkansas,
and south the State of Florida. But this is the
first bale?the bale of all bales, and all others
this year must be significantly unimportant
compared with it."
Dreadful Homicide in Rabun County.
?About two weeks ago, Mr. Henry Fountain,
a citizen of Rabun County, started from home
to get cabbage plants, and while gone he met
with one Taylor, also a citizen of the same
County and perhaps a near neighbor. They
had not been together a great while before
there arose a dispute between them something
about paying for a few drinks of whiskey.
Fouutain appeared to want to settle the matter
peaceably, but Taylor was not so disposed. So
their quarreling was kept up until Taylor be?
came so enraged that he raised his gun, which
he was holding in his hand, and attempted to
shoot Fountain, but the gun missed fire, the
cap only bursting. This did not satisfy Taylor.
He then struck Fountain on the head with the
barrel of his gun, knocking him down, and
dealing several blows with hisgun after he had
fallen, crushing the skull. Fountain died in a
few "hours. Taylor has escaped. This is the
fourth murder committed in Rabun County in
about twelve months, and strange to say they
have all occurred on the same road, and within
two or three miles of the same place. Out of
the four, three of the murderers have escaped.
? North Georgia Herald.
? A hater of tobacco asked an old negro
woman, the fumes of whose pipe were annoy?
ing to him, if she thought she was a Christian.
"Yes, brudder, I spect I is." <-Do you believe
in the Bible?" "Yes, brudder." "Do you
know that there is a passage in the Scriptures
that declares that nothing unclean shall in?
herit the kingdom of heaven?" "Yes, I've
heard of it." "Well, Chloe, you smoke and
you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven, be?
cause there is nothing so unclean as the breath
of a smoker. What do you say to that?"
"Why, I spects I leave my brefF behind when
I go dar."
? The Pope was formally expelled from the
Order of Freemasons by the Grand Lodge
which met in Italy on March 27. He was con?
nected with a lodge at Palcmo in his early
youth, and charges were first preferred against
him in 1865, but he refused to meet them. Sub?
sequently, when he had cursed the order, and
excommunicated all members of it, the charges
were renewed, a regular trial was held, and a
decree of expulsion was entered and published,
signed by King Victor Emanuel, grand master
of the Orient of Italy.
; ? The United States Senate is at present
Democrats and five Liberals, with one vacancy.!
If the opposition shall gain all the Senators to
be chosen next year, the Republicans will still
have a majority of the body. The House of
Benresentatives composed of 195 Republicans,
eighty-eight Democrass, and four Liberals.
There are several vacancies. The opposition
have a very large majority to overcome, but by
careful management it is evident that they can
very nearly if not quite overcome it.
? Scbuyler Colfax would seem to be in a
beatific state of mind. In a recent Fourth of
Jyly oration he declared that in politics now?
adays men are elevated to a position only to
have mud thrown at them; but he believed
that there is still left the assurance that right
will prevail and be done them at the open grave.
This is a beautiful sentiment.
? The Singalese language stands in the front
I rank of all spoken tongues?so far as names of
places arc concerned. In the Veraloowa dis?
trict there is a village termed "Galliappocon
duracirrhacoomhenn." Another hamlet close
by is styled "Keeuloollepoodama." A few
more are, "Ouekllapoodamakauda."Boodoogey
kondamowa."
? The following is a simple mode of render?
ing water almost as cold as ice: Let the jar,
pitcher or vessel used for water be surrounded
with one or more folds of coarse cotton kept
constantly wet. The evaporation of the water
will carry ofFthe heat from the inside and re?
duce it to a freezing point.
? A married lady, who was in the habit of
spending most of her time in the society of her
neighbors, happened to be taken ill, and sent
her husband in great haste for a physician.
The husband ran a short distance, and then re?
turned, exclaiming, "My dear, where shall I
find you when I come back?"
? A young fellow in a Western town was
fined $10 for kissing a girl against her will and
the following day the damsel sent him the
amount of the fine, with a note saying that the
next time ho kissed her he must be less rough
about it, and be careful to do it when her father
was not about.
? Many women are marty- -, and yet they
do not know it. They shut the sunshine out
of their houses and their hearts; they wear
veils; they carry parasols and everything pos?
sible to keep off the most potent influence
which is intended to give them strength and
beauty and cheerfulness.
? The Chicago Tribune says: "Where there
is no credit, there will be little enterprise or
capital; and where there is no capital, there is
little of anything that makes life desirable or
enjoyable. Where there is no credit, foreign
capital wiil not come, and home capital will
not stay."

SINGERJ^CTORIOUS!
Sewing Machine Sales, 1878.
THE table of Sewing Machine sales for 1S73,
show that the sales were as follows:
SINGER, - 232,41*.
Wheeler & Wilson, - 119,190.
Domestic, - 40,114.
Weed, - - - 21,769.
Wilson, - - - 21,247.
American Button Hole, 14,182.
The table shows that sales of the Singer ex?
ceed those of any other Company, for tho pe?
riod named, by the number of 113,254 Machines,
or nearly double those of any other Company.
It may bo further stated that the sales of
1873, as compared with those of 1872, show a
relatively larger increase, beyond the sales of
other makers, than of any other year. For in?
stance, in 1872 we sold 45,000 Machines more
than any other Company, whereas, in 1873, tho
sales were
113,254 Machines in Excess of our Highest
Competitor.
These figures are all tho more remarkable,
for the reason that the sales of the principal
Companies in 1S73 are less than their sales in
1872; whereas, as has been shown, our sales
have largely increased.
Tho account of sales is from sworn returns
made to tho owners of tho Sewing Machine
Patents.
It will hardly be denied, that tho superiority
of the Singer Machines is fully demonstrated.
At all events that their popularity in the house?
hold is unquestionable.

BAD BLOOD.
"A corrupt tree," saith the Inspired Vol
J\_ umc, "bringeth forth not good fruit."
nor can corrupt blood impart health, beauty
and good flesh or spirits. "The Blood is the
Life," and health am only bo enjoyed in its
fall perfection where the blood is kept in a pure
and uncorrupted state, hence the necessity of
pure blood, to give health, beauty, buoyant
spirits, lonsr life and happiness.
AN IMPURE CONDITION of the BLOOD,
manifests itself in different forms of diseases,
such as Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald-Head, Ring
Worms, Pimples, Blotches, Spots, Eruptions,
Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Sore Eyes, Rough
Skin, Scurf, Scrofulous Sores and Swellings,
Fever Sores, While Swellings, Tumors, Old
Sores or Swellings, Syphilitic Affections of the
Skin, Throat and Bones, Ulcers of the Liver,
Stomach, Kidneys, Lungs and Uterus.
In this condition of things something is
needed at once to cleanse the blood, and neutral?
ize the insidious poison that
BURNS LIKE A TERRIBLE FIRE,
As it*courses through the veins, sowing seeds
of death with every pulastion.
Dr. Pcmberton's Compound Extract of Stil
lingia, (or Queen's Delight) will POSITIVELY
effect this desideratum, expelling every trace
of disease from the blood and system, and
leaving tho skin
SOFT, FAIR and BEAUTIFUL.
For all diseases of the BLOOD, LIVER and
KIDNEYS, this Great Vegetable Alterative is
without a rival. It will cure any Chronic or
Long Standing Disease whoso real or direct
cause is Bad Blood. Rheumatism, Pains in
Limbs or Bones, Constitutions Broken Down
by Mercurial or other poisons, are all cured by
it. For Syphilis, or Syphilictic Taint, there is
nothing equal to it. A trial will prove it. It
is a most useful Spring and Fall Purifier of the
Blood. Its safety and innocence havo been
fully tested, so that it may be administered to
tho most tender infant. j??r Beware of coun?
terfeits and substitutes. Try the Genuine Ex?
tract QUEEN'S DELIGHT, prepared by Dr.
