Every bull is not a Comet or a Favorite, When these rarities do result from superior skill and attention, they arc the more valuable. The unsuccessful attempts to breed such animals, are not wholly lost, they go to tho improvement of the raco or tho si ud in general. But these at j tempts require an unusual amount of capital, extra at'entiog and skill; which the product wou d not always warrant for ordinary uses. The ! breeder of tlie perfect animal values him as an | instrument by which his perfection may bo imi pressed on Ins wholsraceor variety. The an' certainty and cost of producing a perfect animal ' should not deter the fanner from approximating ! i perfection by tho means wholly in his power, i Though he may pay one or two hundred dollars for a boar:This is not throwing away money, for by selecting his best sows, in one year he may j hufKA stock of hogs which in olie fourth frss . | time will produce tho same pork on one fourth j less food and save him tin cost of the boar tho I .1 Tl?? n-.irr>Knsr>r of ft ororxJ bull mSV j iiCUVIIU J bui , a ?v J- ?. _ j in three years change his entire herd to half bloods of a stock which in less timo will yield a greater weighd dooblo his protnnfits.
