Gay lord & Tucker : Being rt ni my way home to Buffalo, and it knfi the anxiety of my friends to 1 j I the success of m v agricultural expe- < > to England, I avail myself of a few i f ents of leisure to state the general re. >u In swine I went into a thorough minute examination from the differ >s species of the (Jhinu, the wild boar or ^a, and from the forests of Germany, ^cimens of which I found in the Zoolo. u:al Gardens and on the estates of the ^blemen and gentlemen in different jrtsof the country. I also examined all le original breeds of England still left f any consideration, and the various ossess and improvement that have been lade on them hy importations from broad. I also saw specimens of the lalmn, Spanish, French, German, and Luftian breeds; then Scotch, Irish, and Vesh, with crosses too numerous to lertion. And the result of the whole is hat the Berkshires, as, brought to thin ouitry by Mr. Hawes, and such as il lavi heretofore and now imported, for ;eneral purges of the fartner are, ipoi the whole, the very bestv aniaas in the world. There are some irds of swine that beat them as tosiae; | ni others, perhaps, in iittie minor points, j Ittft what I wish to be understood as aai ; jrting is, that the Berkshire unites more ood qualities in him for general purpo s than anything within inv knowledge; nd in coming to this conclusion, I stake my reputation as a breeder, and my judgment as a man; and although I may be called an interested party, t may be. permitted to also add "without prejudice* and after a long, laborious, strict, and, I sincerely trust, an impartial infestigation Bgrkshires in England are spreading very rapidly, and are also now taken to Sco'land, Ireland, and other parts of the world. The name, consequently, as with us, has become very popular; and all sorts of impositions are there practiced as well as here, with grades and every imaginable breed. But the real true animal in shape, color, and quality, is precisely such as Mr. Hawes first imported here, saving one exception ; and that is, a pig will nowandthanWeast after the model and color of the original breed; as figured in Lowe's Illustrations, viz., sandy or huff with waves or 8|>ort8 of black, and also black with some spots or waves of white; but the fancy of the people inclining to those more black, or a dark, rich, plumb color, just flecked with a little white, the lighter colored and buff* ones have been constantly thrown out, till they breed with now and then a stray pig, as I have so often before explained in the pages of the Cultivator. For my part, I rather fancy a slight buff with the black, and I found tho largest hogs in the county so marked after the old original. Wind sor Castle has a buff spot on one, fore leg, besides a slight flecking of the same on other parts of him ; and T noticed that more or less of his stock was thus marked. The old breed has become nearly ex. tinct, a few specimens only remaining; and these so degenerated in size that they are not now so large even as the present improved race ; not comparing at all with Windsor Castle. All assured me that he was the largest animal that had been bred in the county for twenty years; and in the last No. of the Cultivator you have rather under than oversta. ted his dimensions. I know from what I saw of the weights of inferior sized Berk* shires fatting in England, that he may be made to easily attain 600 pounds. Added to this great size, he is fine in his points, a most excellent conformation, and what is rather remarkable, of soft thin hair and skin. I took unwearied pains with nil my other selections; and though I could find none else qnite as large as Windsor Castle-, they perhaps had a trifle more of fineness of point and fashion. In regard to the size of hogs, breeders and pork packers in England tuke the ?ame ground as I informed the public in Inst July's Cultivator, that they had in Cincinnati, the greatest pork market in America, and upon precisely the same principles; and it would be a waste of time forme to add another word on the subject. Large animals have cense* qucntly become very scarce in Berkshire, and excecdiugly difficult to find. I per* tfonally perambulated all Berkshire nnd the neighboring counties, and also employed agents who are dealers in pigs, each one of whom annually buys th?usands, and knows every man's breeding in the country, to assist me; and I sent over by the London packet ships Media, tor and Wellington, and am to receive next season stock from all the different families bred thero that are worth pos. messing. These I shall keep apart in breeding at home ; and thus. I trust, save the necessity of further importa. tions for twenty years to come. Stock of all kinds is very high in England now. Pork and mutton sell readily in market at 6d to 7 1 -2d sterling; equal to 18 and 14 cents per pound of our money. White, light spotted, black blue, gray, and all sorts of colored pigs may occasionally be seen in Berkshire county ; but the people there would scout the idea of their being called by their name ; they would consider it an imposition, nnd I might almost add, an insult. And, to my numerous questions, what do you call them? They would give me some specific name, or say, "we don't know, they're not our sort." 1 do hope now for henceforth and for ever to hear no more about white and other Berkshires than as here described for perhaps the hundredth time as the true and genuine breed, as improved by the Siamese cross. I have full notes of all these things; the discussion of which alone would occupy a long art^clo, which I must defer to some more convergent period. Failing to find Ucrkshires as large as 1 anticipated when leaving home, I imrne* didiately set to work with my agents for some other breed f and after a volume of inquiries, and traversing half the king* dom, I found the Kenilworths, the very largest breed of swine at present existing in Great Britain. The owner of the sire of one of the pair of pigs I purchased, asserted that he would weigh, full fatted, n ? 1,700 lbs.; but I think his maximum would not overgo 1,3001b*. He stood four feet high, was proportionally long, with no bristles, but than hair, and really possessed a fineness of points that abso lately surprised me in 90 large nn aril ma Indeed in gensral shape and conforms tion he nearly approaches the Berkshire His color was pure white. The size o! the other pigs was not quite so large, and a trifle coarser, while the sows were still less} hut this 1 was informed was a I way* the case with tiie br eed. 1 do hope thai my friends no*' will be satisfied; for they base it last in these, a large hog, and, above all, a white one. But if these are not large enough, I shall quite despair, and recommend the importation of a rhinoceros that I raw flourishing alongside of an elephant hardly superior to him in size, at the Zoological Gardens of Re. gent's Park in Ijondon. He was upward* of four feet across the buttock, and might wtdgn'some three or four tons. 1 shall not have any of the Kennil. worth breed of pigs for sale short of a w ,1 l year, 1 propose crossing me maies upon the large white Yorkshire, and also with a few of my Berkshire*. I think the produce of either will be of great size and excellent quality; and ns the number of sows to be stinted in December to farrow to n Kennilwoith hoar in the spring will be in accordance with the orders of my friends for this cross, they will please to let me know their wishes on this head ns quick as possible; for they may be as sured, that ever with this produce, they may safely compete for gain of flesh, in a given space of time, with Woburns, or any other bleed that gentlemen may hap. pen to have on nand for the purpose of a banter. Nothing can be superior to the South down sheep that I brought over for M r. ftotch, of Otsego county, this Slate, and our late minister at the Court of St. James, Mr. Stevenson, and Bishop Meade of Virginia. The sire of Mr. R.'s buck won the first prize, 30 sovereigns, as the best of hisage, at the Royal Agricultural Show at Liverpool in Julv, and was let to the Duke of Newcastle for this season only, for 100 guineas. He was consid. ered as near perfection as it is possible for a sheep to be; ?md [ may add that the son 1 chose, is nc disgrace to his sire. Though only six months old, he weighed when brought on boird ship at London 152 pounds. Mr. S:evenson'sand Bish. op Meade's, about 18 months old. weigh, ed respectively 254 and 248 pounds. And the breeder of these superb animals, Mr. Jonas Webb, of Bubraham, killed a weth. r last Chri8tmus that weighed, dressed with the head on, 200 pounds. The * - ^ i e -9 A bucks of this fleck usually snear irom in to 11 1-2 pounds; sind I need not add another word to the readers of the Cultivator as to the superiority of South Down mutton, and the hardiness and good constitution of the anima ls making it. Accompanying the sheep for Mr. Rotch, was the most beautiful shepherd's dog that I ever saw; and of a breed so good, that it requires n6 instruction to break thorn into the management and care of flocks. I also brought over for Mr. R. some of the large Dorking fowls, that carry an extra toe to their heels. To these I added a few pheasants, the beautiful game bird of England, and a cross from which on the common barn fowl produced the celebrated game cock breed. Of Short Horn I brought nothing, for fear of the disease so prevalent through, out horned stock in England, and because there is but one man's herd that can improve our own; and his best I cannot have till another year. It really pains me to see any more Durham of ordinary quality imported into our country. The expense of shipping is enormous; and, after all, they are now so plenty in America that they can be bought for half or two thirds the price abroad; and throwing two or three stocks out there, New York, Ohio, and Kentucky alone, might show successfully against all England. This is my deliberate judgment after a very careful examination or tne nest anorr Horn* in that country. Ayrshires we can make here by the thousand, by crossing Durham hulls on cur best native milkers. The Scotch black cattle without horns make the bent beef in England ; and he is a capital hardy animal, and probably pays the grazier a better profit than any other; but he is black, which don't happen to be a popular color, so that there is no use in talking of him. Herefords you have already pretty well discussed. The Sussex and South Devons are scarcely inferior to them in size, and of a beautiful blood like symmetry of form that excites universal admiration. For horses, England ought to come to us. She has nothing that can compare with our famous trotters; and our Dutch Pennsylvania wagon horses are far preferable, in my estimation to her boasted On. rlimtU a n/t Anil. grcai tan iiuivta. \/u? vihmi??v -w. especially in the ptirnitive regions, it much superior to tthatt of England, to produce this noble animal in perfection; and we have only to pay a little more attention to this department of stock to soon become large exporters.' There are many other things, especially in seeds, methods of cultivation, and the condition of the people of England, that I would gladly touch upon, hut [ find my sheet already full and must forbear; and to conclude, I hailed England with delight, and left it with deep regret. It is a charming couitry, hating itseverlast. * 9 I Ittg fain and coal smoke. And the .

Hhertry Berry says, "the co. lours of Short.horns are red or white, or a mixture of the two," The above quo. , tat ion is made in the sixth No. of the Agriculturist. In the same piece it is said, there are no reds of the best blood. This is directlv contradicted Mf. Berrv, # # # who says their colour is red, just as plainly as white. The Herd Book proves that some of the best pedigrees ever imported into the United States were red, Ber. tram (1816) was a deep red, and was the highest priced hull that had been then im, ported into the United States. Mr. Hustler refused an offer of 400 guineas for his mother, Red Daisy. He was the first bull that erer sold for $1000. so far as mv information extends. The Duke of York when he was imported, ] believe was the highest priced bull that had then been imported into the U. S. He was red with a littlle white. Mr. Rennick, the Ohio Company's agent, selected him to use to thfeir best imported cows. I might mention a great number of reds with superior pedigrees, but consider the two given sufficient to show that red bulls have as good pedigrees as any irhite or roan. I know of no animal in Kentuc. ky or Tennessee with better pedigrees than the two named, and it will he very difficult for the advocate of white or roan to produce one as good. SAML. D. MARTIN. Col. Hampton, of Woodville, S. C., having purchased one of the hest Short, horn Cows ever brought to this country, requested his agent in Baltimore to secure him a bull calf of the same breed, and en. joined it upon him not to do it, until he could get him one which should be of a pure red colour?which, after some months he got from the fine herd of Mr. Beitzhoo. ver near Baltimore. Ws most admire the roan, or the whitefiecFd(not spotted) with red. The deep, dark, and clear mo. rello cherry red of the fine coated Devon is very beautiful. Amer. Far.. From the Farmers Cabinet. DISEASES OP HORSES HILLING CORN. The charaltanism practice in the medical treatment of horses readily accounts for the unfortunate termination of the most of their diseases. At least such is the conclusion deduced from my limited experience. The first horse I ever owned contracted an inhumation of the liming membrane of the eye, from exposure in severe winter weather, and the action of the reflected rays of the sun when the ground was covered with snow. Every one who wit. nessed the progress of the film which ren. dered his vision hourly more obscure, in. sisted on the immediate and free application of burnt alum. The remedy was tried, persisted in, and in a fortnight the animal was stone blind. I reflected afterwards how injudiciously I had acted in yielding to current opinions when they were opposed to the principles of nature. Here was a horse, affected with an acut.i disease of a sensitive tissue, due in a great measure to a constitutional affection; yet treated as though the part was destitute of vitality, and without any reference to the state of the general system. Under different circumstances the application of burnt alum would doubtless have been very proper?that is, when the con. AUi C nn rt rlomn n Hptl in. I UlilUII Ul 1119 HIIWIVU ... creased action. But the case was just reversed. I last winter had a horse affected in a manner precisely similar, and received identically the same advice from those around me, I determined, however, to act in accordance with mv professional judg. ment. After proper depletion, therefore, the local inflamation was combated by cold applications (Solution of Sugar of Load, &c.) and the use of necessary pre. cautions to prevent irritation from excessive light. The active inflamation sub. dued, the film, which consists of a secret tion of fluid within, and the thickening hf the junctiva, or memhrahe covering the eve, was easily removed by a solution of | lunar caustic, lOgfs. to the ounce of wa-? ter, applied by means of a camel's hair pencil. The recovery within a fortnight was complete. I cannot understand why a rational method of treating all diseases should not be adopted. It esjrecially becomes the duty of the farmer-physician to investigate their diseases, rather than consign them to the "horse doctor" with disgust. The error of proscribing tor a name in en. tire ignorance of the proximate cause, of the malady might soon be avoided. I seldom henr of the death of a horse where the cause of it is professed to be known, and still more uncommon is it to hear of an examination being made after 1 death to clear up the raystety. But it is i - 0 * ... | (he physiologist and anatomist alone who i can derife much benefit from opening diseased animals after death. I may* in this place record the result of my experience the present year in hilling corn. About 1-4 of my crop was plough. edt in consequence of its being overrun with grass. My neighbors insisted upon the necessity of it to support the stalk, or as one of my black men expressed it, to 1 expert the corn." Prom the diversity of soil [ am unable to come to any concltf. sion respecting the difference in vigor of growth between that ploughed, and that cultivated with flukes only; hut am satisfL ed, the quantity was not increased by the former process, which necessarily exacted additional labor. As to hilling the corn affording it any support, 1 am satisfied of its inefficacy. The corn that was plough, ed was more prostrated by winds thkn the othcr-a result to he attributed, possi. ble to its more exposed situation, for I do not imagine either mode of culture ren? ders it less obnoxious to the effects of hign winds. * * * i Prom the London Atlas, Oct. 2. COMMERCE OF BRITISH INDIA. COTTON CULTIVATION IN INDIA. From the period of Captain Bay lev's mission to America, for the purpose of making himself acquainted with the ays. tern adopted in that country, in the enl. tivation of cotton, to the transportation of that successful method to our Indian possession. we have watched with deep interest and from time to time recorded the progress of the speculation. On Cap* tain fiayles's arrival from hi* interesting and ably accomplished tour of Investigation, we devoted, our readers may perhaps remember, considerable space in this a* partment of the Atlas, to the explanation of the system in question, and of the ad* vantages contempleted by its adoption. , That system is, we are glad to learn by the papers of the last overland mail, meet* ing with the entire approbation of the In* dian government and there is every pros, pect of the anticipated benefits arising thereby, being eventually realised. The Madras United Service Cazette of the 25th June, states, that government has ordered the transfer of the American cotton planters, sent to organize their plans at that presidency^ froin Tinnevelly toCoiin* ha tore, which country is better suited to the project* The local authorities, it appears. with full confidence of ite ultima to success, were exerting themselvea zeal* ously in promotion of the scheme. Captain Hughes and Mr. Pitch, who are stated to be the most efficient coedjutors in the cause, were busily engaged in carrying out the plaos of the government at the * Madras presidency, whilst those on the Bengal side, (with Captain Baylesaa unpen ntendent.) are equally energetic In the prosecution of their plana. Fren the Bombay branch we have no recent tidings on the subject.?The American cotton seed and implements of husbandry "* sent from England, had reached Errode, *. and great preparations were making in various parts of the country in bringing this extensive enterprise into immediate operation. At the Agricultural meeting of CalcnU ta, in May last, some of the soil of the island of Cheduba was stated to have undergone analyzation, and was fcwnd to correspond exactly with that cm which the Sea Island cotton of Georgia (8. C.) is produced. A report on the subject of this important discovery had beert made to the Indian government, nnd a cask of Sea-Island cotton seed had biwn, accord* inglv, shipped to Cheduba. It has long been a dogma, among cotton cultivators, that the description of soil so favorable to the cultivation of cotton wa# peculiar to America, thus yielding to that country a vast monopoly in'the produc. ' tion of a superior cotton ; but we hove at last discovered a Soa.Island of our own, / and will, doubtless, turn it to a profitable account. We may here mention, .that the Bengal section of the American plan, tors, in passing through Allahad, were ahown specimens of Indian corn, which they unanimously pronounced nearly, if not quite, as good as hey commonly met with in America. / From the Bombay Times, June 23d, 1840. PRODUCTION-OF COTTON IN INDIA. On examining into the supplies of cou ton brought to this market during ther twelve months ending 31st of May* we find that the result is well calculated t / Astonish those who hare not been marking the progressive increase of this product, but have been dwelling with fancied se? curity on the recollections of what used to constitute a large supply for us; viz s 200 to 250,000 bales. It appears, then, frrwm Iho fir-at of June. 1840. to ther first of June, 1841, the imports of cotton into Bombay have amounted to 174,212,* 755 pounds ; or, on the previous average, of 3 1-4 cwt. to the bale, 478.606 bales, little short of half a million of screwed bales I This is a larger quantity than America produced up to the year 1826, and >. > more than was consumed in England du. ring the same year. In 1825,'the entire products of the United States amounted to only 169,860,000 pounds, though twelve years after, it had reached 444,224,587 pounds.?(Vide McC.'sDiet.)
