DEVON CATTLE.?BXTUACT.
I believe I go farther ihin you do in esteeming
tin; Devons supciior <o the Snort..
* horns ev*n for th? fertile grast a id corn
lands ot Ken ucky und Ohio. Bat I do so
cstocm them, nnd a conversation I ImJ soin
montus sineo with an eminent gr;i7. er an I
"V cattle d?'uler Irom the Smotn valley tended
strongly to confirm mo in my opin on. He
stated that he hnd h id much c.\jjcri'' ic
with Short-horns mil li?-ir crosses; tho*
thoro was no donhtof their great nptimde to
feed well iiti l lit an early age, nnd to acquire
great w. igV; hut that here, their advantages
stopped ; tli.it they d d not bear u
journey' well. In fact, lie found tint' they
lost flush, when in a drove, tih ui in proportion
as they were w? ll.hr d. A quarter
hrcd animal would drive better than a hall
bred, a half bred ill.in a tfiri'n-mi irln, l.nul
and so on. Now, if the short-horns do not
drivo well, wli'TO is their superiority lor the
districts mentioned ? They have not n
home market to eonsu.no their emtio, which
must ti'5 tlriven. The grower nbovo montioiipd^'i
d the di?P*ronee in loss of weight
W4? so great as forcibly to attract Inn attention
at a time wh -n the Short-horns were
in very high favor w ish h in. I h.ve fagottcm
the exnrt proper innate loss that he
ni'-ntiotte i, but i' wis so lnrg*? n per coiltag.'!
as to make him very eh.irv of starting
ill liuil-hiu'-d4 in a drove. There is on-?
po:nt which 1 tiiitiU tho western graziers
overlook in prefering me *hor horns, namely,
the weight of beef hit can be raise,I on
n given qiiuii'.uy of laud or food. The pre.
foronco is g ven to the largest nuiinal. the
one ;hat makes the great st weight on the
hoof. I oelievo the Devons will make n
great denl more heel front ti given quantity
of food than the Snuri>liorns, btr it is truo
th-re must be n few more of .hem to carry i
it.

Tilt PANIC - ratCR* OF TUE Mt'tTiCAUU*.
Wc n?ed ani-stsy thai-there ia a perlbct
panic in ihe'tnu !< '*-ml * market?every body
knows that; but w ! sign offering ? few
n-muftis on the cau of it. Afi iexioogra- ^
pliers define the wor-i panic to m?an * a sud.
d? a and groundlcss f -ir.*' Thul the present
fear, that multieoulis treaa will not sail
ut all, or, if litey ;|tai !b**y ar.ll bring
nothing, or its ryuivufrnt, is "groundless,"
w have no doubt. Tima aod again we
have shown llwf this not the seaaorr- for
selling mukicuuJi* trees; that judicious pee.
pto never purchase ? perishable article sin
months before tliey wiii u-ivo u->? fork;
that, conscr) lently, no one will purchase
muliicuulis trees to p*aot six month* before
! lnov can plant them, unless they get them
at a very great reduction from thair true
j value. Tlies c fto s will account to soino
for the prcsont scm ty of bona fide purchaser*
of multu-aulis t<< cs in the market.?
i Now fur the cause of the panic. Growers
: of trees nre so anxious lo realize mot-?/,
ouch ro anxious to syll hia trees, that tbejr
have corns into market bufore their tree.

I and thustboy have completely overstocked,

{ untidy to hull, and of course sepped aside,
! tlius allowing tliu powers to depress the
; market by overstock ng it us much a* pos- i
