Mr. Allen’s Cattle Sale. 
Mr. Allen’s sale of improved stock took place in the 
vicinity of this city, on the 18th of last month, accord¬ 
ing to advertisement. The Catalogue embraced 122 lots, 
of which all but eight were present. The cattle were all 
in good condition, and as they were all arranged under 
the sheds for sale, presented an exhibition of which any 
farmer might be proud. The attendance was large, and 
the sales extensive, and at fair prices, fifty-five head 
having been sold for $4,280. But for the drouth, which 
has lessened the hay crop in a large portion of this and 
the New*England states fully one half, the whole lot 
would probably have sold at equally favorable prices.

Hybrids between the Common and Musk (or Mus¬ 
covy) Ducks. —It appears not to be generally known 
that hybrids between these birds are incapable of pro¬ 
creation. Such is the fact. The hybrids attain a good 
size at an early age, and are much esteemed for the table. 
An English writer says he has found from various trials, 
that the progeny of the musk drake and the common 
duck, are much better than from the common drake and 
musk duck; in the latter cross, the males, he says, are 
much smaller than by the former, and more disposed to 
fly about.

Sale of American Reaping Machines. —The Londou 
Times, in a report of the meeting of the Royal Agricul¬ 
tural Society of England, states that 1,500 of Hussey’s 
and McCormick’s machines have been made to order this 
season. A sale of a new implement quite unprecedented. 
It also states that the demand for Hussey’s machine, as 
improved by the English manufacturer, is much the 
greater. It cuts closer to the ground and does its work 
better.
