AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. TUB TEMPEST—A BALLAD. Os this old ballad, by Fields, one can never weary. There is something in the little daughter’s whisper above all human philosophy;— We were crowded in the cabin, Not a soul would dare to sleep— It was midnight'on the waters, And a storm was on the deep. ’Tis a fearful thing in winter, To be shattered in the blast, And to hear the rattling trumpet Thunder,‘cut away the mast!’ So we shuddered there in silence. For the stoutest held his breath. While the hungry sea was roaring, And the breakers talked with death. As thus we sat in darkness, Each one busy in his prayer—‘We are lost!’ the captain shouted, As he staggered down the stairs. But his daughter whispere’d. As she took his icy hand’ •Isn’t God upon the ocean, Just the same as on the land?’ Then he kissed the little maiden. And we spoke in better chee r And we anchor’d safe in harbor When the morn was shining clear. Improving Our Cattle—Form vs. Blood. The actual expense of feeding an inferior animal is as great, and frequently greater, than that of supporting a thor-ough-bred or perfect one —just as a poor | plebian will eat as much as the sleekest partrician, if be can get it, and remain a plebian still. In our own race, to quote I Emerson, ’lt is doubtful whether the world furnishes a finer type of man than the ; Irish gentleman. He is handsome, large, I courageous —a man of fine instincts, bril- i liant imagination, courtly manners, and i full of vital force. By the side of the | Irish gentleman, there has grown for; years the Irish peasant. He is ugly, of stunted stature, and pugnacious; end he produces children like himself. The two ' classes started from a common blood; they now present the broadest contrast.’ The same causes which have wrought this result in the human family, will work like changes in animals; and for reasons in our first sentence, we see the value of careful selections in breeding, and the importance of the subject under consideration.

Perfect form should be the goal of desire, with every cattle breeder in our land. It is very generally believed that fat beef is good whether produced on a well formed animal or not. This opinion has not receiv- ' ed a moments investigation from the t thousands of farmers who hold it. The proportionate market value of flesh from different parts of the carcass, seem little heeded or thought of. Ask almost any farmer, when two animals possessing dis- . ferent points are in comparson, which will | yield the greater relative amount of steak —value ten cents a pound —and which ; the greater amount of rib flesh, worth ! four cents, and you will be likely to re- • ceive a tolerably correct estimate, with- j out any lasting impression being made of correct form in animals, unless their at- . tention is called especially to the subject Many breeders of cattle, because they do I not see it themselves, fail to understand j that certain animals of the same net I weight, sell for more money in the city markets, simply because a small proportion of flesh chances to be located in the region of steaks, rather than on the ribs. Neither do they consider that they can increase the proportion of these valuable parts by caretui breeding. A bullock of two thousand pounds, to such, is a fine animal, if his back line is irregular, and his hips as round as a barrel, with a greater relative show of flesh upon the ribs than upon other part. One of the first things upon which breeders need correct ideas, regards the cutward form of the perfect animal—the ideal. The wide hips, straight, broad back, full pendent hams, deep chest and ample shoulders, should be known and appreciated. They should acquire a correct eye, study the points of value, and then select the parents of their stock with a view to their best physiological development.

While we would not discourage the importation of foreign breeds, we must still believe it as impossible to improve our whole stock of native cattle by such importations, as to clear the United States of slaves by occasional contributions to Liberia. A more practical way would be to use in the beginning the material on hand, which, with a little oare and knowledge, can be very much improved—aye, more quickly and really improved, than by breeding from every animal labelled •imported.’ Inferior formed 'blooded stock are b* coining full as cotntntMi in

; proportion to numbers, as among them we find frequent specimens, more or less complete, though generally as little prized for breeding, as the most inferior of the race. The truth is, that the zeal for ‘blood’ has thrown form out of sight, and the expectations of improvement have rested to entirely on name and pedigree, trusting too little to means furnished in home farm yards. Form should invariably take the precedence of blood—real worth in valuable points be regarded above pedigree—then an era of higher excellence; lin cattle breeding will be inaugurated. I Form is not all which careful breeding ■ mav secure—the dairy value of stock may be as readily enhanced. In effecti ing this, we have to select good milkers, ‘ capable of transmiting the same quality 'to their offspring—a fact to be ascertain-j |ed only by actual test of offspring. When i a good breeder is found, the strain may be ; kept up —good native breeders are as permanent as thorough blooded—that is, their progeny are as likely to prove good in the same points, as the progeny, of I blooded stock. This is an important sub- j jec',—one that deserves the fullest atten- ! lion or the most careful experiment, at the hands of dairymen and stock-growers. ; It would work a revolution in the value ■ of native and imported slock —doubling; the product of a fair proporlion of the whole number, for the butcher or the dairyman. Let perfection of form rather than the perpetuation of blood be the aim, and we may go on improving our stock, until we have very little need of crossing the ocean for that found in greater perfection at home. h.

The above comes to us from an intelligent farmer of Western New York—one whose views we are generally willing to take without much scrutiny; but in this instance, we think he has mingled with some views that correct several errors which should not pass unnoticed. For instance, the assertion ‘that good native breeders are as permanent as thoroughblooded—that is, their progeny as likely to prove good in the same points as the progeny of blooded stock.* This, if we mistake not, is disproved by the almost universal expei ience of breeders. Again —‘lnferior formed blooded stock are becoming full as common in pioportion to numbers, as among the natives.’ Our correspondent must have met with abetter class of ‘natives’ than have ever fallen under our notice, if he can select from any country, twenty, fifty, or a hundred 'natives,’ which will compare in ‘perfection of foim,’ with a like number of ShortHons, or Devons, taken as they come. So with sheep and swine.— Where are the natives that will compare with the South Downs Leicesters, or Bei kshires and Suffolks? Indeed, so far from the ‘zeal for blood having thrown form out of sight, one of the great objects of all skillful breeders has been to attain the highest perfection of form, and in this they have succeeded to an extraordinary degree.— Country Gentleman.

Coffee—How to Make it —The following is given as the genuine French operation of ‘getting up’ coflee: ‘lt is scorched in a hollow cylinder,! which is kept constantly revolving over a slow fire, and not a grain of it allowed to | burn. Secondly, it is ground very fine, and thirdly, when it is to be used, a por- | tion of this is placed in a finely perforated pan or cup, which exactly fits into the top ot the boiler, coffee-pot, or vessel yon wish to use. Boiling hot water is then poured on, and it percolates gradually through, carrying with it all the essen- I tial principles of coffee. As soon as the . percolation is completed, the pan is re- ' moved, containing all the gounds, and then bulling hot milk is added to the infusion, and your coffee is made. ' _ The Bor; r—Mr. Travis, of Natick Mass., states that a mixture of one part salt, two parts fresh slacked, lime, jnd I two parts of soft soap, applied to the ■ lower limbs and the body of an appletree, after first scraping the tree gently will prevent the borer from depositing its eggs in the bark. It should be applied about the middle of April. He states that the I success of this remedy is complete. We heard awn call another man an ex'ortioner the other day for suing him, a day or two before. •Why friend, replied the man who brought the suit, I did it to oblige you.’ ‘To oblige me indeed—how so?’ ‘Why to oblige you to pay me?’ The ancient Greeks burnt their dead in jars. Hence the origin of the expression 1 'He’s gone to pot.’
