From the Patent Office Report of I866.J
- DeTcn Cattle.
.The "Devoa,"or rather North Devon"
cattle,, chiefly produced in the' county
from which they take their name, are of
great antiquity, and have been celebrated
and justly admired for centuries, for
their pleasant color, elegant form, gentle
temper, active gait, and other good qua
lities, which fit them bevond all other
i breads for thu tart or the plgu-if - w
I for the excellence cf their miii and fie&h.
heir color is generally a light red, but
arying a little, either darker or more
yellow, seldom baring any white, except
about the udder of the cow, or the belly
of the bull, which is lrttle seen. or. ner
naps, a lew white Iwirs towards the ex-
. . . . - j
tremity of the tail. On the whole, there
is scarce v ar.v hrer-d xnr rh and mrtlnw
in its touch, so silky and soft in its fine,
ong hairi added to which, it has a great
er proportion of weight in the most valu
able joints, consuming at the same time
ess food in its production.
It is to the grazier, then, that this breed
is more especially valuable, as few if any
others will rival them in disposition to
atten and in the quality of the flesh.
Generally speaking, the cows are- infe
rior to many others for the purposes of
the dairy, but not as respects the quality
of the milk; for they yield more than an
average proportion of cream aod butter,
both of which in Devonshire are prover
bially known. Some farmers, ' however,
have found them to yield even a large
produce of milk, so that in this particular
much may depend on the choice of pas-
lurage, or the manner in which they are
kept. The general average of the dai
ries is one pound of butter a day for each
cow, during the summer months, or as
long as they are well fed.
This breed will bear transferring to in
ferior soils, as well as to colder and more
eiposed situations, without suffering in
the slightest degree. Thus upon the
bleak coast of Norfolk, and upon light
and inferior pastures, they are found to
thrive remarkably well, and to sustain
their nesh upon very indinerent keeping,
t or working purposes, the Uevons are
unequalled,-aDd rKj-JeecrirMKm of cattle 1
can be compared with them, either tor
quickness of steps, or endurance of 'pluck.'
lhere Is almost as much dinerence in
working between these oxen and those of
other breeds, as there is in a light, clean-
ly, active cart-horse, and the heavy,
hairy-legged sluggish dray. In Devon-.Ifrom
shtre, they are usually put to labor at from
two to three years old, according as they
are wanted, ani worked until they re
five or six years of age, when they are
quickly lattened lor yie butcher, r our
young and two old bullocks are required
to plow an acre a day upon heavy land,
but on light soils they will do more. In
Norfolk, these oxen are also extensively
used at tne plough, one pair being era-
ployed in the forenoon from six till eleven
o'clock, and another pair from one till six
in the evening, in this manner, tney
will generally plough upon turnip sou, one
acre arid a half in a day. It is no un-
common thing, however, for a three year
old bullock to work in a plough alone, and
if well kept, he will pertonn without uit-
hculty all through the spring. liut when
the weather becomes warm he will surier
very much if worked longer than five or
six hours at a time. In hoeing ridgtd
turnips or mangold wurzel, with a single
plow or horse-hoe, two steady .bullocks,
one at a time, will walk ver five acres in
a day; but to do this, they must work
about eleven hours in aday instead of ten.
After a little practice, they are preferred
to horses, as they are easily managed and
turn at the ends without trouble, scarcely
injuring a single root.
For feeding purposes, the Devons pos-
sess every qualification to fatten, being
celebrated for the fineness of their flesh
and the lightness of the offal: and. altho'
they do not attain so. great a weight as
- , : .
ol otJjer breeds, they will fatten at
very early age. ; They may ne made
quite fit for the butcher when twenty-
sevtn or thirty months old. and will weigh
at that age from o69 to 700 pounds, tf
kept until three years old, or a little long-
er. tney may easily oe made to weigh
. i i
tmm ?(fk n ft40 ntiuiiJ.-,. .
The TWriod nt which the- working
f
Devons an fattened greatly varies. A
fnvnrite nlribnll is frenuentlw worked too

time nd quantity of food; but, generally
sneakinrr. a certain number are fed off
i ' r l
..b, 1
each year, and fresh ones are . broken to
supply their places. These old oxen,
when well fed, attain a good weight, fre-
Quemly weighing from 1,120 to 1,260

To keep the beds and borders clean by
hoeing and weeding, will be the principal
routine of work for this month. Stir the
soil frequently among the rrowinar shrubs
and flowers. Remove all decayed leaves,
branches or dead plants as fast as they
a pnftar. Stake and tie up neatly, and ia
as natural a manner as possible, all plants
that require it Do not bundle them up
together and tie. as though you was tymer
1 a . sheaf of grain. Dahlias, especially,
should have a stake put to them early, and
a string passed round them to keep them
being swayed about by the wind.
Train it to a single stem and pinch off
the week lateral shoots.
Successful sowings of sDme of the most
desirable kinds of annuals may be made,
to take the places of the nrst swings,
which will soon be running away to seed,
or growing spindly and weak. There are
some annuals, as the Mignonette, for in
f stance, which should be had blooming al
me season through.. Its iragrance is so
delightful. Then the bees are so fond of
it.
Roses As soon as these are out o;
bloom, take your flower scissors and go
through and cut off all the seed vessels.
There is a two-fold obiect in this. First
the decaying petals are unsightly, and are
best removed. 2d. By cutting them oil
n keeps the plant from exhausting itself,
in perfecurg its seed, and will cause the
hybrid perpetuals ta start again into new
growth and they will bloom again the
sooner and the. better for if. "When they
have started to grow again, an occasional
watering, with manure water, will help
them greatly, by adding vigor to ' their
growth, and enhance the beauty of the
flowers individually.
Window plants, such as scarlet and
rose geraniums, heliotropes, &c.,! that
have been kept in pots all winter in the
house, had better be turned out of pots
and planted in the open border during
summer, naving Deen previously weu cut

Can yoa fee safe too soon?
Can you be safe too soon ? Can vou
be happy too soon ? Certainly, you can
not be out of danger of hell too soon; and
therefore why should not our closing with
Christ upon his own terms, be our very
next work? If the main business of life
is to flee from the wrath' to come, as in
deed it is, and to flee for refuge in Jesus
Christ, as indeed it is, then all delays are
highly dangerous. The man-slayer, when,
fleeing to the city of refuge, before- the
avenger of blood, did not think he could
reach the city too soon. Set your reason
to work upon this matter; put the case as
it really is; I am fleeing from the wrath
to come; the justice of God and the cur
ses of the law are closely pursuing me ;
is it reasonable that I should sit down in
the way to gather flowers or play with
trifles? for such are all other concerns in
this world, compared with our soul's sal
vation. Flavtl.
