334 December Motes, &c.—Orchard Grass—Sheep Farm For sale—Wormwood Oil for Dots, 
tiles well. These are the essential points in an animal; 
and as for the minor ones, we can tell better about 
them hereafter when his frame becomes fully de¬ 
veloped. We saw two 6 months calves of his get, 
which resemble him exactly in color and much in shape, 
which is giving them sufficient praise. This blood is 
highly appreciated in England, for we see by a late 
Short Horn sale at West Rasen, that Lord Adolphus 
Fairfax, half brother to Mr. Prentice’s F., sold for 255 
guineas, ($1,200,) and not $275 as our printer’s imp, by 
a Satanic twist of the types, made us say page 285 of 
our Dec. No., which we beg leave here emphatically, 
to straighten out and correct. At the same time, the 
cow Nectarine, by Norfolk, Grand Sire of Fairfax, al¬ 
though past seven years old, sold for 150 guineas, 
($750,) while the average of Mr. Smith’s stock of other 
blood, brought less than 33Z. per head. 
Then comes Nero; we beg pardon, here he is, or 
rather as he was, in his 3 year old form, for he is four 
past now. 
Short Horn Bull, Nero.—(Fig. 33.) 
The Property of E. P. Prentice , Esq ., Mount Hope , J\T. Y. 
As we looked at him we found his added year had 
given him a greater stretch of horn, and developed 
other points, both physical, and we presume mental; 
for why should not a bull bred from the aristocracy 
(barn-yard we mean,) of Europe and America, have 
mental faculties, we should be very glad to know ? 
Yet be that as it may, there he stands, and was placed 
first, in Class I., of bulls, at the late annual meeting 
at Albany, of the New York State Agricultural Society. 
Nero has a cross of the Patroon stock in him we be¬ 
lieve, some account of which was given by our corres¬ 
pondent, Mr. Bement, in the April No. of this paper. 
He is a fine animal and of medium size. 
An account of Mr. Prentice’s cows, of which several 
are superior milkers, will be given in our next. 
ORCHARD GRASS. 
When we stated on page 307 of the January No. of 
our paper, that the price of Orchard grass was usually 
$4 to $5 per bushel, we had reference entirely to the 
western part of this State, where we had farmed and 
purchased it. We understand the usual price in this 
city, has only ranged from $2 50 to $3 00. 
In consequence of its having fallen some in market, 
Mr. White has authorised us to sell now at $2 per bushel. 
To stock land down effectually, it requires two bushels 
of well cleaned seed mixed with 12 lbs. of clover per 
acre. Orchard grass seed will weigh about 18 lbs. per 
bushel. 
SHEEP FARM FOR SALE. 
We call attention to the splendid Sheep Farm, in Il¬ 
linois, advertised by Messrs. Murray & Co., of Buffalo, 
as a promising investment to any enterprising person, 
with some means, disposed to emigrate to the west. 
The only motive which induces the owner of this fine 
property to dispose of it is, that residing so great a 
distance from the premises, makes it quite impossible 
to give that personal attention to the flocks and farm, 
which is desirable. 
WORMWOOD SEED OIL FOR BOTS. 
The Southern planter recommends the above as the 
most effectual cure. It was used at the rate of one 
table-spoonful, in a gill and a half of spirits of Turpen¬ 
tine, diluted to a quart with whisky and water. 
We should think that the wormwood seed oil with a 
slight increase or decrease of the dose, according to cir¬ 
cumstances, would be equally efficacious diluted simply 
with water or milk.
