.Tiif-ni cows. We are fteq'iently asked what breed of cattle we think het for the dairy, and ns we have taken no in-considerable rains to inform mirelves on this subject, both by actual observation and obtaining the op inions of great number of practical u en, we think proper to answer the question in this way Were we about commencing a dairy, our choice would be, without hesitation, half blood Durham Short horns. We should be particular in selecting those by a first rate Durham Shorthorn bull, out of some of our best common cows, and if we could procure them from the hntniess or buffalo breed, so much the better H dfblood Shorthorns are almost alwav good milkers, and firi rale l-utter makers, averaging, in good pa-dutcs. eight to ten pounds of butter per week. We have to support is in this opinion, the testimony of sever, nl practical and intelligent persons, who have had both full blood 'and hall blood cows; and among the persons is a lady in Pennsylvania, whose husband owns some of the finest Durham Shorthorn stock in America. This lady superm'ends her dairy herself, and has witnessed the

riTTIIVG TURNIPS. As the turnip buv-tis approaching, we take the liberty o suggesting to those who cultivate the Swedes, our method fir pitting them for winter. The pits are limited to two feet in width, and of an it definite length, and are dug in a dr) sit nation, seldom more than two feel teep When the pit or hole is tilled with root" as high as the surface of the giuund, the turnips are laid by hand, the tops out, and sloping to the centre, until they ter mrnate in a ridge which is generally bout two feet above the ground. The whole are then coveted with straw on ! then with earth. The impoitawt point follows: The crown of' the lidge is then pietced with an iron bar, at mteivalsofa yard, and the eaith pressed nut so as to leave an entire aperture into the turnips, and into each of these apertures a wisp of twisted straw is loosely inserted The roots will heat, and unless the ranfied air is permitted to escape, the turnips are apt to rot. The openings peimit its es cape, without danger oi ihe. frost injury With this precaution we have not lot one bushel in a thousand.

She ran in a tolerable pasture, but there was a stream of pure spting water running through it We also kept talt constantly within her reach. The same cow this summer, in a much better

pasture, does not yield three gallons ot milk. The reason of this tailing off, is that she i npplied with water from a pump, occasionally, when her attendants conceive she wants it not when she thinks she wants it, which is the great point She also gets salt "as it hapJen., We have often heard of cow giving large quantities of milk, that 4,eat scarcely any thine." to which we always reply --"lell that to the marines, for the old sailors wont believe you M A cow cannot make milk out of nothing; and she can only give you milk in proportion to the quantity of good food you give her.
