THE SHORT-HORN FEVER IN KENTUCKY. | The Cultivator and Gennessee Farmci ; were prophecyirig a short time ago, that th? i cattle fever in the west would soon reach i | crisis. Those who are gifted with the spiri : of prophecy never fail to find the fact; 1 which verify their predictions ; and accord (ingly, the last number of the Cultivator, ir I noticing the price of a cow which was late 1 ly sold for $2000 in Kentucky, announces | that "this is the climax.'4 The fever, hav. ing reached its crisis, according to theopin ion of the Cultivator, we wonder that papei had not advised its readers whether the patient would die or get well. Judge Bud ii unquestionably an excellent farmer anc writer, but clearly he is no doctor; and i he were, he could not feel the pulso of c patient, at his distance, from Kentucky.? But if our worthy cotemporary will honoi our State by a visit, we promise to accom. pany him to the farm of every prominen breeder, and he will then be able to stud) ! and learn the true pathology of this disease i which lit a distance, appears so frightful | We will point him to the glorious blue-grass ; pastures, and the immense fields of "meal meadow and manure," abounding in Kentucky; we will show him esthnates of tht i exports oflive-stock from Kentucky to eve . ry quarter of the vast south ; we will provto him the great demand for improved oni j mals of any discription, not only existing ?? ? - ?i ii _ e ?# in fteaiuctty, out mo wnoio vaney 01 ivus. sissippi, and which cannot be met; we wil point him to the spirit which is exhibits here of subs'i.uting superior for inferioi ; stock, and to the willingness of paying a present a comparatively high price in view of the vast advantase which must ultimate^ rtsuli from rearing good animals, instead o bad ones ; and we think he will a< know ledge that these are undoubtedly some o the predisposing causes of this great mala dy. Will you come, Judge ??We proniisi you shall graduate before you return to th< north. The "climaxhowever, we think, is no yet attained in Kentucky. The gentlemet who paid 82000 for u cow, have refused at advance on that price for her. One hal of the $2000 cow unci calf has been late ] purchased by the owner of the other half, a an advance on cost. We do not pretend u i say that higher prices than these will here! after be given, for the animals to whicl 1 we have aliuded, are considered extra su I perior ; but we aro confident that the prei sent current rates will be sustained for somi i time to come. There is not the least svmp. I torn of that drclinc which invariably fok ! lows a "climax" In saying this, however | we do not wish to be understood asadvoca , ting the propriety of every farmer's giving 1 these enormous prices. For the good o j the breeding interest, and in view of the j more rapid and general spread of the Dur : ham cittle, we wish ihey could be sold ai | prices that would justify every farmer ir i substituting them for inferior breeds of thi PAim'nt Pi)r/<lincvrc r?:in in frpnprnl. hll\ X,- - 7 - -J Durham cattle in Kentucky as low, if no ; lower, than they can get animals of cqua quality in England, and hence the presen : current rates will not probably decline vcrj i shortly. But we should rejoice to announce J such a decline as would enable all to pur. ! chase ; although wc think those cntcrpri| sing pioneers who have risked so inucl | money in introducing them into the country ! ought to be amply remunerated. Wt I learn that several individuals and compa j uies in Kentucky, having heavy capital j have gone or sent agents to England tc j purchase more improved stock of ever) ! description ; and this at a time too, when j it is understood, the price of superior cat. I tie has advanced fifty per cent in that coun. i try. j 1 From the Maine Farmer. . CARE OF COWS. ' Some farmers are particular to have their oxen and horses well tended und vvel fed, but pay uo utteniion to their cows.? ; This is one of the error whi:h ought to bf corrected. Cows that give wi'k shoulc ' have a v. arm barn, the best hay end a feed . ing of roots every day, and the extra mill will doubly remunerate the trouble ant ! expense. And cows that are dry, and ex I pouted to calve in the spring, should cer i tuinly be carefully teiided and warml) i boused to keep them in Acs!) and proven j them from contracting any disease whicl ! will be likely to affect them after they have ; calved. Cattle arp us liable to take cok : from exposure as m?r ujv, and liv pavin? j a little attention to their comfort you may | 0 > i save them a great deal of suffering, and j n , | yourself much loss. A great poriioti of the j a - J accidents which happen to young cows with j h ' | their first calf, are owing to poor keeping, > ft 3! exposure to colJ or some uccident during ! 31 the winter, the effect of which is not mani- c , J fested until after they have dropped the calf. n 3 j A mess of raw potatoes and a little sah ie- 3 j gularly given once or twice a week to cows a , that will calve early, is very benificiul. It t( I will keep their hide loose and hare a ten. j h I denev to produce a healthy action through- j * s ' out the whole system. j P f J While on this subject, there is one prac- j tl lice more we will name which is followed ? h by some farmers, that ought to be aban 11( - doned. This i?His practice of pulling the j h hay over into the crib immediately under ? 3 their cattle's noses. In this case they ne? d cessarily breathe on it, and then will not ft eat it. A board from the bottom of the si j partition that separates the "tic-up" from t( 9' the barn floor, should be removed, and the hay placed gainst the aperture wumn meir reach. By feeding in this way you can ; give thein a9 much as they will eat, and r they will make no orts. . l, [ ll ' From the Silk Grower. t( MO BUS MULTICAt'LIS. U C 5 j The Silk culture is not attended with ft * j more risque then ordinary fanning pursuits, 0 1 and probably not as much. The mulberry q ' leaves will appear and grow should the e ?| weather prove wet or dry, warm or cold. s\ J This tree is not liable to be injured by thfe a ' many accidents to which farm crops are ex- p f] posed. The silk which can be made th? tl '! first summer after planting will, with com- c ? mon prudence and skill; prove a rich rev- o ' enue, and seasonable help, and the profits n f of the propagation of the Muhicauiis, is an ft 1 additional dependence that may be relied on p *! and that will continue a lucrative business u 1 j for a long time to come, so great is the de- it ' I maud for it, and so vast the country to b? a j supplied.

From the Farmers' Cabinet. q ' INDUSTRY, PROMPTNESS AND PUNCTUALTT, Sj CROWNED WITH SUCCESS. h ' Stephen Girard, the great merchant and a | banker, was also a great und successful fur- b j. mer. He owned a farm of several hundred 11 acres of land wi bin a few miles of Philadel- c phia,the cultivation of which he superinten' ded witli his usual industry und acuteness. ll This farm was his principal hobby ; for l' every day, at one o'clock precisely, his gig si ' was in waiting for him at his counting-house I ^ door, and as soon as the clock struck one ! s: j ho btarted for his farm in the Nock, not J11 t suffering auv matter whatever to interfere i r< ^ with his daily visit. During the afternoon | ? he gav? his personal attention to the various j sl agricultural affairs requiring if, plying his j ? ' own hands to any and every kind of busi- j ^ t noss that was m season. In the evening he i w re.urned to the ciy to lodge, and the return j al ' of day light, the next morning, would find | S | him again engaged in the labors of ins farm, j P( which he would interna so as to !>? in the j * j city by nine o'clock to attend to his ex tenI s ve and well managed commercial and P1 f I O _y? i banking concerns, at ono o'clock he was n ' again on his way to his farm. lie follow- w ed out this routine for twenty or thirty years, j Jj1 permitting no part of hi, business to suffer * from neglect or want of attention. Ilis farm ,r J presented a perfect model for imitation. Ilis UJ I grain fields, glass grounds, orchard, and tc j garden exhibited t e most luxuriant and per- s* j j feet appearance, while his stock of every lfl 1 1 kind, and poultry in all their varieties, were r' - i the finest and most perfect that were to be 'c ? j found in the country. I C( I A distinguished foreignor, tiien res'dent al . J in this country, on u particular occasion, i! hacJ some special financial business to tranII sact with the great banker, and 12 o'clock . J was fixed upon for making his visit for that . j purpose, but he did not arrive till the clock r! had struck one, he was too late, the great ci t j banker was gone to his farm, and he followed It i 1 after ; on his arrival he was kindly and ai ; | courteously received ; he wa> waited on ov- tr 1 i er the farm and through the barn-yard, but c; ?I rot n word could be extracted from Cirard n the subject of his mission. He could . ' ow think or talk of nothing but agriculture was nd rural affairs, and his friend had to re- thei jrn to the city and learn to be more punc- ta ii jalto his engagement in future. rec< Oil an occasion, many years since, the fuel ity authorities were making an improve-j our jent at Market street wharf, and there was j goo large quantity of rich earth, that had been ! witi ccumulating there for a long series of years, j clcr ) be removed, and any person was permit- thei id to haui away as much of it as ho chose I 'i'hout charge.

Oh," t,;r< p # UK ' ays he, * Mr. , I work to-day, if I dia wo! ).morrow." S. mu, out FRAUDS IN AGRICULTURE. " One of the most conclusive evidences that j lat the pursuits ofagricullure are rising in , le public estimation ; iliat inquiries are ex- y t ending as to the best methods of farming, * t nd the most valuable seeds and plants for 4( ultivation ; and that a laudable anxiety is ? dt in the public mind to avail themselves ' f all information and aids which experience * ? an give, is foun I in the fact that in almost ry v very branch of the pursuit, pretenders and v peculators are to be found, and in many, are ,tp. Iready driving a flourishing trade at the ex. w*t ense of a credulous community. While tl le man deserves commendation who sue- j essfully introduces a new plant into culture, j r a more valuable variety of an old one ; , o censure can be too severe for him who ,Q0 raude>.tly palms upon the public seeds or * lants of a worthless or inferior quality ; and jlg J nder an approved name, or a high sound- ^u) lg one, coined for the occasion, puts off: j)e ( rticles which under their true denomination J jer| r'ould hardly by received as a gift. j l()e So comman lias this system ofpeculatfon ! nia ecome, that farmers, must of necessity be j n their guard against imposition ; for ex. erierice has shown that only in dealing with stablished firms, men who have a characsr to lose, can they be safe from the effects ] f Iraudulent rapacity. Even such men are ten; ometimes imposed upon in their purchases, the mt the instances, are mucli less common tha a their purchases, but the instance are gw nuch less common titan in the case of or- tnn Iinary dealers. There can be no doubt that r0u ast quantities of common twelve rowed 0fl> :orn have been sold by dealers of character, 0Id or Dulton corn ; but the similarity in the \ f hape of the ear rendered it easy to deceive t0 11 this way. So with Italian wheat There ag, an be no reasonable doubt, that immense 0f, [uantities of common spring wheat have crjj >een distributed over our country, injuring |ab he purchasers, and partially destroying the tjie redit of this truly valuable wheat. The ant urneps produced in our fields, show that Gb( eeds widely different from the ruta baga foa re mixed with them to a great extent ; an 1 0f lie man who feels assured of raising the Siterian sugar beet because he sows seed so u s ibelled, may find on gathering the crop, |lar iiat he lias been engregiously deceived. ijLt i'he tendency of many plants to mix or a <> ross in the seed when planted near each w;t| ther, may in part account for these in- ^ tanccs of change ; but to say nothing more ! (0 s evere, it is clear, those seeds arc apt to be j |laj, roduced most abundantly, that will com. an(j land the highest prices, or are in greatest re. sc|(, uest. The mulberry mania, for such the mia peculation in those trees has fairly bocome, thej as perhaps, gi ven rise to more gross frauds nd wholesale impositions than any o:Ii?.t j0jn ranch of industry. These frauds com- an(j jenced with the trees, and where they will tJ s nd. is at present difficult to forsee ; certain- ter I not until the limits of perverted ingenui. ti,R( f are. reached. Already, according to er j to Northampton Courier, are basswood tJ0I1 prouts nicely cut and labelled, selling for 6a|^ te genuine multicaulis, and the common j tjor agof thtshops manufactured and colored j |ua( i the most approved manner, is finding a ! ve| miH sa!u at Infh nrices. as silk worm etrtrs ! ,inv t" ~ o~ I ' , 4-" ' uajr f tho most valuable kinds. Wc think the qUM Ik business is destined to become a great lm(l ranch of manufacturing industry in the |atfj Failed States, but the expectation of many ill require to bo sobered, previous to such ma| a event ; nor will such a consummation be yu,. ready advanced, by such disgraceful im- j jjnfl asitions. There is but one course left for ! ic industrious honest, part of the commun. 1 t.r y, and that is to be cautious of whom they J cj,jj urchase seeds or plants ; and to place the ; s;m lark of unqualified reprobation on the man j Qir ho will, for tiie sake of paltry gain, thus j imper with the interests of the public. I wjw 'here are dealers of honor and probity ; j ten on whom dependence may be placed, j pf0| ud from whom reparation man be expec-1 iJ should undesigned errors occur ; to i jell, let farmers who have not yet adopted j ga^ ie prefcrabl .^course, when practicable, of j rn lising seeds or trees for themselves, resort J >r supplies, and there would be, we are i anfideut, much less cause of complaint than J t|ja] t present.?Gennesce Farmer.
