To the Editor of the Standard, Deab Sie, â€" The present depression in the price of grain is a fitting time to cast our eyes abroad upon the world s resources for a substitute to re-fill our diminishing ooSern, and a more certain income than that derived from uncertain grain-harvests. Baring the present winter I had the pleasure of inspecting several herds of Holstein cattle in the County of Waterloo, more especially those of J, S Hallman and H Hii(,arten, Esqs., of the township of WSmot, in that County. My only knowledge of these cattls was derived from the short sketch given of them in the Agri- cultural report oi Ontario. Hitherto my bias was in favour of the short- horn Durham but the report m question strongly inclined me to the opinion that the Holsteias were better adapted to the present status of the larmers of Grey than the Durhams, or any other breed and this opinion vas «onfirmed upon visiting the herds n question. The reasons for my pre- ference are: They are more hardy than Uiu Durhams, and little inferior to 'Ur Canadian caUle* in this respect. They a,re one-third hetber milkers tlan tlie Durhams audfuliy one-half better in butter and cheese production. Up to two and tluee years old they jire li;tt1e inferior in siae and weight to the Durhams. At two years, they take on fat as reaiiily as a full grown animal which ibe Durhams will not do until they arrive at maturijty, which necessitates keeping bullocks of the latter breed thru' three winters instead of two, as in tbe case of the Holsteius, which form an important item of .cost in our long winters besides, the Holsteins, Fhen turning on the third year are lully up to the standard weight for fihipment to the home marKet. They are better adapted to "crossing" with our common cattle than the Durhams, as may be evidenced by Ihe sUght improvement in the native stock of our County by the numberless sires imported here during the past twenty or twenty-five jeawâ€" indeed it would almost seem as j^pngh $here had been retrogression. It is a well-known fact to expNaanoed stockbreeders that certain classes of the same breed of animals deteriorate when ••crossed," andrw* Vjtrsa, other classes are improve^ by ^e saipe process, the progeny ^grossipg the better qualities of botij classes. In this respect the Holstein and Canadian cattle are a success, for thfr hybrids 1 saw in Co. Waterloo reUined the wze, milk and butter qualities of their Holstem ancestors, on the other hsnd tbey lost none of l^eir Canadian hardiness* What renders the Holstein braed f specially well adapted to this Cpun^ w, as I said belore, their ^laj^inaes apd excellent feeding qualities* their anpetites keeping good during tha. vitallmg" ptocess whUe the. i^nrhams requtte constant eha^ of rtjot. even in ordjnary winter feadinl.i however, it h n,jt th(» ftitf prodwMW ^»«hty. alone, |ihat wwtBa .iM ilol«tem cattl^e so Bre*emiim#f| I. 2, 8. 6. 84 82 71 74 64 2,307 ?.289 a,iio 2,20B 1,891 6Mo'a 10,692 10,904 9,250 9,806 8,004 Of the butter record I may mention that 28 lbs. of milk from a two-year- old produced 1 lb. butter. From cows of Mr. Hallman's hard were tested as to their butter production, seven days each, with the following results Ist, 20 lbs 2nd, 19 lbs Srd, 19 lbs 4th, 14 lbs. Tlie difiference may be accounted for, to some extent, by the period when the. cuws had the greatest flow of milk» A full grown cow in Mr. Hilgarten's herd weighed, during her milking season, 1,673 lbs., and a full grown bull, in ordinary condition, 2,469 lbs. Of the cheese producing qualities ot these cows the above gentlemen could giye me no positive data but from the testimony of those who have made cheese exclusively trom the milk of Holstein cows, the result is highly satisfactory, their milk being super- abundant in caseino matter. It is self-evident that the laudable efforts put forth by our breeders to improve their stock has been a vain attempt; and those who take initi- ative iu the i£troduction of the Holsteins will secure the reward which ever attends intelligently directed enterprise.

A public meeting of the ratepayers of bchool Section No. 6 (Flesherton) was held in the school house on Mon- day last, to take into consideration the petition presented to our council at last sitting, by the ratepayers of Sec- tion No. 4 (Stone's settlement) to change the buundry of this Section, ioining part of it to theiru. The meet- ing was unanimous that at present it was not advisable to change the limits of School Sections as at present cou- stitoted. A deputation was appointed to wait on our council at their next meeting re this matter. Mr. Munroe, head teacher in the Flesherton Public School, has resigned his position here, for raasons better known to him^lf. Mr, Munroe is a teacher of good ability* and we think could have given geneiral satisfaction. We understand the trustees haye en- gaged the services ot Mr. G. Bell of Owen Sound to fill the vaeancy.
