EDITOR’S TABLE. 
Sale of Short Horns in England .—It is 
refreshing-, to turn from the meagre sales and 
small prices of pure bred animals in our 
country at some of the late Fairs, to those 
reported from England at the Ag’l Fairs 
during Sept, last, in the New Far."journal. 
Notwithstanding these animals have been 
bred for so long a time, and the fact that 
there are thousands turned over to the sham¬ 
bles annually, the same spirit exists for sus¬ 
taining and improving their breeds, that has 
ever been manifested among those enlight¬ 
ened breeders. 
At Mr. Parkinson’s sale of Short Horns, 
held 17th September, the average price for 
the entire lot exceeded $150 each. Those 
by Cossack, very young, exceeded $170 
each ; while a pair of twin heifers brought 
675 dollars. b 
Mr. Smith, of West Rasen, sold his entire 
herd. The 2 yr. old bull Lord Adolphus 
Fairfax, by Sir Thomas F. sold for $275 $ 
and the 7 yr. old cow Nectarine, by Norfolk, 
the sire of Sir Thomas Fairfax, sold for 
$750. The average price was about $165 
each. Four bulls, the get of Cossack, were 
lately sold for $1000 each. 
300 Sheep were sold in lots of 10 each, at 
nearly $10 per head. 
When we consider the extensive depres¬ 
sion of the times, and the multiplicity of im¬ 
proved animals in England, together with the 
large lots of cattle, exceeding 100, these are 
encouraging prices. Let not our American 
breeders despair. We shall have remuner¬ 
ating times yet, for such as have choice 
animals. Breeders and consumers in this 
country, will yet open their eyes to the great 
advantages of improved stock, and such as 
carefully, and patiently, and intelligently con¬ 
tinue their operations, will ere long meet the 
reward of their labor.
