For successful breeding or raising of cattle, there ought to be a regular system. The merceant in his busi ness is regular, or else too late he finds a balance on the wrong side of the ledger. So the farmer would find the benefit of Buch a system. Farm ing is made up of details, and success is in proportion to the amount of at tention given to it. This only is good management, and, as in alL.things, there must be a beginning, good man agement has its starting point; First, a proper selection of breeding animals with reference to the particular end in view. There is perhaps no branch of agriculture that calls for more experi ence, or sooner shows the effects of good management, than stock raising ; and it will prove to the advantage of formers in this State to turn their at tention more to thir subject where there is any quantity uf "free pas ture, especially would it be profita ble. And even the "small farmers" must devote some time and attention to this business; But core and atten tion are reijusite for - success. Grain farming alone cannot pay, therefore gtoek and its management must make part of tho business of farmers, and it is necessary that they should possess some geueral knowledge on the sub ject. . There seems to be a neglect in providing sufficient shelter. We find c.tttle standing shivering in the fence corner shivering in the cold north we.st wind, whilst their owners sit by the' fire wondering vf'nj the cows give no milk, or the steers do not-fatten. Good and sufficient shelter' should al-, ways be provided, both for the com fort of the animal, aud profit to the owner; as cattle consume about one third less food when kept in a warm stublo, and particularly is the differ ence seen m fattening cuttle. There are manv ways of -making such shel ter, according to the taste ond fincy of the individual, so that it is.net requisite to give any description of buildings, or sheds, for there is a full range ironi a shed "shingled mit a straw," to one costing hundreds. But I should by all means prefer to tie up cattle, and to use stanchions in the pUce of chains or other fastenings. Uy tieing up stock there is a chance to discriminate in their food, and have better control of the beasts ; and I .prefer -stanchions, as the cattle do not take up as much room as when tied with a chain round the neck, and the head is confined so as to prevent much injury to each other by their horns, aud is the quickest and easiest way. For pasture, moderately rolling prairie is better than perfectly level, provided it is supplied with good water natural streams are the best, as they always afford a supply, although artiffcial streams, when properly made, answer every purpose; such as can be made in most all sloughs by running a mole ditcher in them, by which springs can be made, saving the trou ble and expense of lifting water, and in a large stock this is very consid able. And then stock can drink when they please. There should always be a full supply of salt kept accessible to stock, both 6uramer and winter. There ought always to be a pasture fenced off, according to the wants of I the farm, even it there is plenty of "free pasture' for cows and calves, and any other stock tha is wanted at home. Then the farmer cih breed his cows to any bull he chooses, and keep his calves where he wants them, and not spend his time riding over 'the nrairie after lost cattle. . Many spend i ... : f .. .. tiH0U.I l-t--e running niiyi siiivys as would fence forty ' acres, in one season. Our free paster? are too large, and in many places farmers uiunt soon depend upoa.sow.n pasture.-: And when tbo tnae cciows lor .veamng calves they have a pasture lor them' with better, feed tuiu on tue pra;ne, and where they eanuot'get away ; as calves are very apt to stray, an J make trouble. Sorno puture cime earlier in the known, and' tiie' animal caribe treated accordingly. ; On some farms the cows run at large on the prairie, '.taking the ehanceof catching some "scrub," their owners seeming not to carp anything about them, preferring a scrub, when they can secure the services of a thor oughbred at a moderate cost, acting a . 1 ... ' ' o upon the principle of a "penny saved is two pence earned. There should bft a stock book kept, with a list of all stock,: time of being served, -time. of calving, &c, ami would prove a yalua ble book of reference as well, showing ..... a at a glace the exact condjtion of the herd. By all means use a thorough bred bull, for a grade bull is not to be depended upon, and his "get" is very uncertain ; by chance you may get a calf that shows many good points, but the chances are against you. And as to any particular breed, that depends upon , the situation and taste of the farmer. A breed that is most profit able for the butcher, cannot be best for the dairy, so that a recoinmend ition of any is useless, and must be left to the discretion and experience of the purchaser. " And it is only necessary to give a wont of fcautiort do not be too ready to believe in any until you have tried them. The Durham is highly recommended for rich pasture, the Devons and Ilerefords for lighter soils. The Avrshires are the best for milk, but of little value for the butch er. The cattle stable should be kept clean and well littered every morning with fresh litter, as c.ittle will not thrive Well when kept standing in manure, and have no place to lav down. There sho'j'd be particular at tention paid to this. The "fancy prices" of blooled stock, his placeull beyond the reach of most farmers, ami stood much iu the way of the improve ment? of our native cattle,, although we begin to see. traces of good blood, owing to the public spirit aud enter prise of &ev. Ltly, in the man agement of stock,, there .should be..? gentle firmness, not too much bluster and noise, which only serves to con fuse, and make them unruly. Cruelty always to be condemned a3 unnec essary ami disgraceful. Kindness and gentleness willinvariably serve. The owner should exercise a careful super vision, and employ' only careful and peaceable attendants. Care should be taken not to breed in and in, or let a bull go to his own calves, and can be done by changing bulls as often as three vears.

Did the readers of the Country Gen tleman ever notice that hens are alluded to in the old Testament ? In the New Testament they are referred to in that well known apostrophe of our Saviour to Jerusalem (Matt. 23, 37,) and the crow ing of the cock is mentioned in connec tiun witb. Peter's denial of hts master, and as marking the watches of the night. And yet the Jews could not say, as did one of th" characters in Shasprare's 'Winter's Tale,' 'l have no pheasant, cock or hen," as the barn door fowl was a native of the east, and the present in habitants of the Holy Laud cherish it as their most common associate, and substi tute it aud its eggs for nearly every kind of meat. Neither are there any repre sentatives of poubry in the discovered Egyptian sculptures or paintings, neither of camels, and as the laiter were known in Egypt, certainly as early as thd time of Abraham, it is no proof that barn-door fowls were ever rare with that ancient people. Among the Greeks they were highly esteemed, aud cock aud liens were im ported from Egypt and India. The fowl Louse waV eo co&trivtd as Ij receive from According to th notions of the Romans (tallying in a measure with ours,) a good and kindly hen was known by her comb btauv-straightand upright, and double crested. The extra toed (see D rkings) were always preferred, and there was also a dwarfish kind, railed by the Eng lish travellers, "grig hens,' "extraordi narily little, and yet fruitful, a thing not seen m any other kind of fowl, which lay aud miss not, but seldom sit they.on any eggs ; and if they do. it is hurtful for them." Pliny. Natural History. The best eggs, they thought, to put un der hens when they sit, were those that were laid ten days before at the utmost. "For neither old eggs nor yet very new laid be good for that purpose." Some time? as many as twenty-five were put under one hen ; but the general rule was to "let them cover thirteen eggs, howbeit never under nine." That which troubled the hens of an tiquity, as well as the ''biddies" of our era, was "a certain distillation of a phleg matic humor, which causeth the pip, aud most of ail between harvest time and. vintage." The cure wis to keep them hungry and long fasting ; also to let them perch in a smoky place, especially where the fume was made of bay leaves and the herb savine. ''It is good moreover to draw a little quill or feather through their nostrils, across, and to remove or shift it every day. As for thsir meat, let it be some cloves of garlic shred among their corn, or else let their meat be well infused and steeped in water wherein an owl hath washed and bathed herself J" 1'imy. In the early and purer history of the rominonwealth one of ' the sumptuous laws provided that no man should have her table served with any fowl, 'unless it were one hen, anu the same a runner only, and not fed up and crammed fat." Cooping up poultry was then recently" devised by one JStrabo, a 'gentleman of Home,' and the statute was levelled against ttus prat lice of ''keeping fowls within narrow compass and cages, as prisoners, to which creatures nature had allowed tne wiue American thus describes tbe salt lands of Nebraska : "There is Mn Nebraska Territory, fifty miles wost of the Missouri river, a remarkable salt region of which the Government has reserved 17,000 acres under the Mineral Land; Act. Near the centre of this region there are four basins containing 1,6000 acres. -Their surface is nearly flat, but depressed several feet below the common level. As to the cause of this depression no certain theory prevailssome claim that the millions of buffalo, etc., which have salted and wallowed there for NU Y TELEGBAul. ages, have done it. Others claim that the slow wash caused by the salt's destroying vegetation will account for it. The bottoms of the basins are composed of black mud covered oyer in warm, dry weather with a thin stratum of salt, causing them to look like magnificent fields of snow. The salt is collected by scrapers; occasion ally a man will scrape up a wagon load in a day. . In and about those basins are nu merous springs of strong brine boiling up. Tho quantity discharged from them, if all in one stream, would run a sawmill. The farmers for a hundred miles, round go there and boil and scrape enough for home. use. The salt is of excellent quality crystals white and large. It is astonishing that no works have been erected for manufacturing it. Our merchants obtain salt from Netf York and Vir ginia, when enough miht be madej here to supply a dozen btates. lhis dry, breezy climate is far superior for solar evaporation to that of Onondaga.

Gentleman. . - i ' The Shaw Potato. In May, 18S0, J. W. Ilelme, of Adrian, Michigan, sent a box of seed ling potatoes which he" wrote us, or iginated in that county from seed of the Mercer, and had: been named the "Shaw." Mr If. stated that they were very productive,, free from disj ease, one week earlier than Early June, and so closely resembled the Mercer that they were often sold for that variety. In acknowledging their receipt we promised to give them a fair trial ami eport at some future time. After the first season's expe rience we did not feel prepared to re, port in consequence of the fact that the leaves of half the plants became diseased, curled and dried before the end of the season. The affection'was confined to this seedling, while all others were healthy, and we were led to suppose that it might be a disease to which the variety was subject, and which might render it worthless. Last sea-on only an occasional plant was affected in this way, and the pres ent summer all have been healthy. It is an excellent potato, about as good as the old Mercer, while the product is more than double. It has the form and purple maiks of the parent, but the white portion is less clear, being somewhat of a buff or cream'color. It will, however, sell readily in market for the Mercer. It is not a3 early as the variety we cultivate for Early June, but follows it quite closely. We are almost ready to pronounce it one of the best potatoes we have ever grown, even for a general crop. With this, and Davis' Seedling, and a few Flaukes for backing, no one will have accasion to complain of poor potatoes or shy bearers. Rural iVW Yorker.

Set them on a moderate fire lill they boil; then take them off, and put them by the side of the fire to simmer ' slowly till they are soft'enough to admit a fork, (place no dependence on the usual test of their skins cracking, which, if they are boiled fast, will happen to some potatoes when they are not half done, and the in sides quite hard, i Then pour the water off. (if you let the potatoes remain in the water a moment after they are done enough, they will become waxy and wa tery,) uncoyer the sauce-pan, and set it at such a distance from the fire as will secure it from burning; their superflous moisture will evaporate, and the potatoes will be perfectly dry and mealy. You may afterwards place a napkin, folded up to the size of the sauce-pan's diameter, over the potatoes, to keep them hot and mealy till wanted. This method of managing potatoes is in every respect equal to steaming them; and they are dressed in half the time. There is such an infinite variety of sorts and sizes of potatoes, that it is im possible to say how long they will take doing; the best way is to try them with a fork.
