In the evening, CoL Nekdtiam, oi v cmiont, 
delivered an address in respect to the success of 
the American ai'ticles presented at the Interna¬ 
tional Exhibition at Hamburg—and particularly 
on the triumph won by the American Merinos 
on that occasion. His remarks were of an inter¬ 
esting character, and were listened to with much 
attention. Tomorrow the Ohio State Board of 
Agriculture meets through the day, and the 
Wool-Growers-’ Association again in the evening. 
Thus far I can truly say that the Association is 
a great success. For its further proceedings see 
the reports. 
[We failed to receive the official proceedings of the 
Convention in time to give even a synopsis in this 
number, but shall probably be able to do so in our 
nest—E d.1 
brought their flocks to the perfection and repu¬ 
tation they enjoyed by close breeding. And the 
American Merino, the concentrated excellence 
of bis Spanish ancestors, has been bred to his 
present high quality by a persistent, intelligent 
course of the closest in-and-in breeding. For 
particulars we need only refer to the appendix 
of Col. Randall's late admirable “Practical 
Shephei'd ,.” 
We might even run into instances of improved 
pigs, rabbits, poultry, and pigeons of various 
kinds, which have fixed and permanent charac¬ 
teristics, obtained solely by close interbreeding, 
with a purpose to perpetuate certain qualities in 
their progeny. Concentration cf blood, tty descent , 
io a certainty that it will perpetuate its kiml in the off¬ 
spring, is the great end and object of in-and-in 
breediug, and by no other method, can it be done. 
In thus resorting to the same blood, in a different 
family of stock, the example of Mr. Bates, above 
named, may be mentioned. After near or quite 
thirty yeans of close in-and-in breeding his 
ShortrHormt, he concluded thathe needed a fresh 
bull; with great pains and inquiry, he found the 
animal lie wanted in a neighboring herd, 
deeply bred in-and-in from the same original 
stock" as his own. That bull-Belvedero-he 
obtained and used, and a son and grand-son 
[Duke of Northumberland) of Belvedere, from 
his own daughter, (Duchess 34th,) was the best 
bull as was Ms dam the best cow in England! 
Parallel instances may be quoted almost in¬ 
definitely. Nor if successful, does the practice 
stop at, any one progressive point or period of 
descent. It may be continued indefinitely, so 
at the proper times and seasons, and under tne 
most favorable conditions of food, shelter, treat¬ 
ment and general care, couple them together. 
There are certain pre-requisites, liowev er, to >c 
adhered to io all these matters. The animals 
mU3t have sound. health, and amsttiutumd vigor ctf 
body. No disease, disorder, or tendency to such, 
should exist in the breeding animal of either 
sex- if so, the close relationship of blood be¬ 
tween them will only intensify and make 
stronger such disease or imperfection in the 
offspring, while, on 'the other band, the perfeo- 
lion of physical development in either party, 
under sound health and freedom from constitu¬ 
tional or hereditary imperfections, will be 
stronger and tend to continuous improvement. 
It will be all the more certain, too. from the 
concentration of blood in those perfect or im¬ 
proved qualities. There is less tendency to 
scatter, or strike out into collateral imperfections 
which may have existed in the ancestry of

IMPROVEMENTS AND CONVENIENCES. 
A VKP and GRAIN EARN. 
HAVING the past season built a sheep and 
grain barn combined, with some improvements 
over the style that was in vogue forty years 
ago, we will endeavor to show to those that 
appreciate conveniences, 9ome of the important 
improvements. 
It is 35 by 45, with 1C feet posts, situated on a

which is inclosed with boards; and here are 
YAi.cn or Milk.—(A Subscriber, Florence.) It is 
generally estimated that at the average value of butter, 
milk at 2 cents per quart pays the best. At 23 cts. per 
lb, milk at 3 cents would be about an equivalent, 
counting the labor of making the batter nothing. 
For answer to your question about measuring hay see 
the rule given In out issue of the 2d Inst. Your bay 
contains, if the hay reaches to the beam, and is of clean 
English hay, about 15 tuns. 
Winter llnTTEK-MAKixa. —(G. G., Ilillsdalc, N. Y.) 
One of the secrets of the butter-making business is the 
proper temperature, which most be 00 to G2 degrees 
Fah , without which it is no use to talk or chfini either. 
If you havo no thermometer, make the cream over 
warm, and the admission of cold air at every dash will 
bring it to the right point. Scalding the milk before 
setting, insures quick churning and yellow butter in 
winter. _ 
Mockjnu Bnu.<—(R. C., Guilford.) The trnc mock¬ 
ing bird ('Turriux polyglottue) requires nearly the same 
food as a robin—all kinds of insects, worms and grass 
hoppers in their season In the winter, fresh meat, 
dried berries of all kinds, and fresh fruits moderately. 
Water and fine gravel are important, and a few spiders 
have a beneficial effect when sick. They are often so 
infested with a minute species of louse as to destroy 
them. Clean your caga ofton with boiling hot water 
occur in the production oi uusp»iu S , 
bred, is certain. We have had such in our own 
experience, but could, in almost every instance, 
trace them to a direct cause other than a close 
alliance of blood. Yet. they are no more apt lo 
occur under a system of itt-and-in breed¬ 
ing than otherwise. Many of the ill results 
which are supposed to occur from breeding by 
those not familiar with the true practice of it 
are owing to far different oauses, and might 
occur from any other practice as well. If a ten¬ 
dency to disease which may become chronic or 
hereditary, or if a wrong direction be taken in 
the animal bred from, the practice, by the con¬ 
tinual use of such animal,’ may be lata) to all 
improvement or preservation of good qualities. 
The closest discrimination of the polities of the 
breeding animals must U constantly kept in view by 
the breeder. By an ignorant man, not conversant 
with the physiology of his beasts, be they horses, 
cattle, sheep, swine, or even poultry, a single 
important blunder may cost him years ot pains¬ 
taking to rectify. It is thus, therefore, impera¬ 
tive that the in-and-in breeder be a physiologist, 
so far as a general knowledge of the anatomy, 
and controling features of his animals are con¬ 
cerned, whether in the development ot carcass, 
viscera, limbs, wool, flesh, milk, or whatever 
prominent point he aims at are concerned. All 
violent crosses are to be rejected—indeed, such 
do not/occur in close breeding. If a breeding ani¬ 
mal repeatedly throw out a characteristic not de¬ 
sirable, lie or she should be discarded. 
Let ns consult history as to the matter of in- 
and-in breeding, so far as we are enabled to 
arrive at results. The -Short-Horn breed of cat¬ 
tle are acknowledged, under favorable conditions, 
to be the finest and most, richly developod cattle 
in existence. The brothers Colling—Robert 
and Charles— commenced breeding them in 
England about the year 1730. They selected 
the best animals they could get without regard 
to their blood relations. These animals they 
closely interbred in every possible relation of 
consanguinity — even, iu one case, to six con¬ 
secutive crosses of one bull—Favorite—and he 
very closely interbred—to bis daughter, grand¬ 
daughter, and so on, and the last descendant cl 
this incestuous breeding was equal, if not supe¬ 
rior, in style and quality to any of her maternal 
ancestors. Comet, a son of the same bull — 
Favorite—by his own daughter, from her and 
his own mother, was considered the best bull of 
his day, and sold by Cjias. Colling for $5,000, 
the highest price ever paid for a bull, up to that 
time, in England. Charles Colling quit 
breeding in the year 1810, after continuing the 
business thirty years; and his brother Robert 
bred thirty-eight years, until 1818, when he died, 
and his herd was sold. No Short-Horns in Eng¬ 
land possessed higher reputations than these of 
the Colling?, nor brought higher prices at the 
time, and the choicest animals now of the breed 
known, trace their pedigrees back to the Collin g 
herds. These were contemporary breeders, who, 
like the Collin 0 ^ 8 , pursued the same practice 
ig. They were the May-

The Great Storm at tuk West — Many of our

Dodge. Co., Wis.:—"Jan. 1,185-1. Thermometer at 30 
degrees below zero at sunrise. Awful storm yesterday. 
Railroads all blocked up with snow. No mails yester¬ 
day' - And a letter from Fox Lake, Wis., Jan. 6, says: 
—“The weather has been extremely cold Tor the last 
few days, the thermometer ranging from Iff to 42 dcgn.xts 
below 0. There is a heavy body or snow, and the rail¬ 
road (Mil. and Lti Crowe,) has been completely blocked 
up w 1th drifts for the last Tour days," A correspondent 
writes from Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 4:— “The old 
year was fairly frozen out here—the thermometer on 
the 1st inst, being 30 degrees below zero, and not rising 
hut 10 degrees during the day; on the 2d it was 28 dc

of visiting some of the Ohio Sheep Establish¬

The feeding racks form a partition on the 
north and east rides, some six feet from the wall. 
At. the north-east, comer arc the stairs which 
ascend to the second floor, which is 18 by 35 
feet. At the left hand, after you ascend the 
stairs, is a trap-door some three feet square, 
(which is also raised by means of weight and 
pulley,) for the purpose of putting down hay 
and straw, without the annoyance, of haring the 
sheep tread upon the hay before you can put it 
into racks. 
The next we come to is the granary, which is

The President of the Association is Col. S. D. 
Harris, of Columbus, Editor of the Ohio 
Farmer —as able, fearless, and true a paper to the 
interests of the wool-grower as there is in the 
United States. He presides with much dignity. 
The Secretary is J. Bark Alexandria, Of 
Akron — whose earnestness nod efficiency in the 
affairs of the Association have rendered him a 
general favorite. The Chairman of the Com¬ 
mittee charged with introducing resolutions as a 
basis for the discussions of the meeting, is W. F. 
Greer, of Painesville — one of the most active 
originators of the Association, and one of those 
zealous, energetic, and unselfish men who found 
and sustain ail those organizations whose object 
is public improvement. 
The Association met in the Senate; Chamber 
of the Capitol — a magnificent room in one of 
the noblest public edifices of our country. It 
utterly shames the Capitol of New York. 1 do 
not propose to give any detailed account of 
the proceedings. That will be much better 
done by the reporters. Mr. GREER introduced 
resolutions—1st, in favor of petitioning Congress 
to include in the internal revenue laws a tax on 
dogs, with a view to protect sheep by the de¬ 
struction of dogs; ‘hi. against washing sheep; 
3d, that the existing tariff on foreign wool is 
inadequate to the protection of American wool- 
growers, upon the same footing as American 
manufacturers. 
The first resolution called out a highly spirited 
debate, in which speakers of every kind took 
part. Mr. MONTGOMERY delivered a highly 
sensible speech, giving the statistics of the 
enormous destruction of sheep by dogs in Ohio.

his cattle brought since have proved it—bred for 
fifty years, and in the closest possible manner. 
He frequently asserted that he never went

damage. The late Mr. Price, the most cele¬ 
brated breeder of Hereford cattle of his day, 
assorted, in a communication to the British Farm¬ 
ers 5 Magazine, that he had not gone out of his 
own herd for a breeding animal for forty 
years. The Devon brooders—the two Dav y’s,

course is known, have interbred their stock 
from the closest affinities, and their cattle ap¬
