Remarks.— Since our last, Cotton, Wheat, Flour, Corn, and 
Barley have fallen ; while Pork, especially mess, has risen. 
The Weather continues cold, with abundance of rain, and par¬ 
tial frosts. We hear of more or less injury done to the growing 
crops in particular districts, but nothing as yet generally disas¬ 
trous to record. Grass promises a large yield, and is very forward. 
To Correspondents.— Communications have been received 
from T. B. Miner, T. L. P., W. B. W., and A. Greene. 
Prices of Blake's Fire-Proof Paint .—Paris T. Carlisle, Frederica,

in linseed oil, in kegs of 100 lbs., $6.75. No lead is required, ex¬ 
cept to change color. 
EEKSHIRE FIGS FOR SALE. —I offer for 
sale three pure-blooded Berkshire boar pigs, eight weeks 
old, from my imported sow and boar, described at page 43 of the 
Agriculturist, and warranted. Also a few half breeds from a very- 
fine large sow, which I can highly recommend as something su¬ 
perior. Direct, (post paid,) 176| Bowery, N. Y.

^HORTHOBN BULL CALYES.-For sale, two 
V3 very superior thoroughbred shorthorn bull calves, got by the 
superb imported bull Exeter, out of two of Mr. J. F. Sheafe’s 
great milking cows. Exeter is of the Princess tribe of short¬ 
horns, and was bred by Mr. Stephenson, of Durham, England, 
and imported by Mr. Sheafe. The dams of these bull calves are 
celebrated milkers. Fora particular account of Exeter and these 
cows, see the last volume of the Agriculturist, and page 151 of 
the present volume. Mr. Jackson, of Astoria, has a young bull, 
dropped last August, got by Exeter, out of one of Mr. Sheafe’s 
cows, whose superior we do not believe was ever produced in 
the United States ; and these calves now advertised for sale, we 
think equally promising.

C l MEAT §ALR OF SUPERIOR, THOR- 
IF ough-bred Shorthorn Cattle.—The subscriber having 
more stock than can well be sustained on his farm, will offer at 
public auction, about 30 head of his Improved Shorthorn Cattle, 
consisting of bulls, cows, heifers, and heifer and bull calves, on 
the 26th day of June next, at his farm, 2£ miles from this city. 
It is known to breeders of improved stock in this country and 
in Canada, that the proprietor of this herd, during the past 12 
years, has, through the medium of importation from England, and 
selections from the best herds in this country, spared no ex¬ 
pense to rear a herd of cattle from which superior animals could 
be safely drawn, for the improvement and crosses of other herds. 
His importations have been derived from that eminent breed¬ 
er, the late Thomas Bates, Esq., of Kirkleavington, Yorkshire, 
England, which herd, it is well known, has recently been dis¬ 
posed of at public sale, by his administrators, and dispelled in 
many hands, and can no longer be resorted to, as a whole, for 
improvement. The announcement of this sale created great in¬ 
terest in the minds of all shorthorn breeders in England, who 
seemed desirous to secure one or more of these animals to min¬ 
gle with the blood of their herds. At the day of sale, there was 
found assembled, the largest audience ever before witnessed up¬ 
on a similar occasion, numbering, as it was said, from 4,000 to 
5,000 persons. Among them were the best breeders in England, 
and several from other countries. Some of the animals brought 
prices which seemed incredible to many. 
In the herd now offered for sale, will be included the imported 
bull Duke of Wellington, and the premium bull Meteor. These 
are Bates’ bulls, and their reputation, as stock getters, are too well 
known to need comment. I am, however, authorised, by Lewis 
F. Allen, Esq., of Black Rock, one of the most prominent breed¬ 
ers in this country, and who has had ample means for forming a 
judgment, “that in no instance, to his knowledge, has these two 
bulls been bred to shorthorn cows of other herds, previously im¬ 
ported into the United States, but what the produce were supe¬ 
rior, in general qualities, to such herds.” 
Most.of the stock which is now offered for sale has been bred 
from these two bulls. The proprietor having a young bull more 
remotely connected with the portion of the herd, which he re¬ 
tains, being about 14 in number, he can part with these two val¬ 
uable bulls. There will be in the stock offered for sale six young 
bulls, from eight months to about two years old, in addition to 
the two named above. The remainder of the stock will be com¬ 
posed of cows, most of them possessing extraordinary milking 
qualities, heifer, and heifer calves, all fine in symmetry and good 
handlers. 
It is believed that no herd of shorthorns has ever been offered 
for sale in this country exhibiting more of the valuable combina¬ 
tion of qualities which contribute to make up perfect animals. 
A catalogue containing the pedigrees of these animals will be 
ready for delivery at an early period, in which the terms of sale 
will be fully stated. A credit will be given from 6 to 18 months. 
Gentlemen are invited to examine the herd at.their convenience,
