It la \<h pretty well settled now that good, °Rb will this Beason bring good prices, The late rise In the market will undoubtedly be maintained. The profits of wool-growing in the states of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, are derived largely from production,of lambs for the neighboring markets. Shkep farming in Great Britain ls declining, the nnmber of Bheep in England and Scotland having fallen ofl over 12 per esnt. daring tbe last two years. Hon. Ci.audb Matthbwj, Clinton, Ind., has sold to C. W. Waterman, Lodi, Ind., the Jersey bull calf, sired by Cash Boy (2248), dam Eastwood Belle (102*1) by Star of Empire (236*), etc. Mr Matthews says that after his advertisement appeared he had purchasers withont delay. Polled Angus cattle are bringing higher prices n<iw iu Scotland than Short-horns. At a late sale a cow brought 225 guineas, or f 1,125, and others, with bulls, from 42 up to 180 gntneas.

Barkkr, Thorntown, Ind., while attending the Crawfordsville fair last week purchased five head of thoroughbred Jjrsey heifers, two years old, from the herd of Heath <k Holien. They were Drought to Montgomcrv county last June by Messrs. Heath <_ Holden, from the best herds in Connecticut, and are the immediate descendants of some very noted milk and butter strains. Mr. Barker's purchase included a portion of their prize tierd at the late fair, and are pronounced by Jersey breeders to be fiae specimens ol meir breed.

The North British Asriculturist of August 31, says: "Another of those extensive shipments of Clydesdales for America, which have recently been so freqient, was made on Wednesday last by the steamship Galitiafor New York. By this steamer Powell Bros., 8pring*boro, P*t., sent out 36 ani*nals; Singmaater <fe S jns, Iowa, 19; and -several were exported in addition by different owners. .Powell Bros, shipment included numerous useful well-bred animals, admirably adapted to improve the breed of draft horses on the other side of the water. A marked improvement has oeen made this year in the quality of the stock exported. Fawerindiff .rent animals are now being purchased than was the caso last year, and buyers are keeping more in the traditional Clydesdale districts. * * Powell Bros, have since the beginning of August exported upwards of a dczan horses each week by the Allan Line Boston traders." Sheep in England. The London Field has this to say in regard to sbeep husbandry in that country: The prices that have been made of some rams would be surprising under the present state of agricultural depression at home, and the importation of foreign live stock and meat, if it was not for the great fact that the stock of sheep In the United K.ngdomhas decreased 3,574,1)26 during the last two years of exoessive wet. As cattle are slightly decreasing, too, in consequence of the temptation feeders have held out te them to sell, this brisk trade in sheep Is further satisfactorily accounted for. ' On these good prloes may be penned a few wordi of comment. Now that long wool, even when of a lustrous character, Is worth no more or less than la. per pound, and dark-faced mutton keeps at a high price, Lincolnshire and Midian! counties flockmasters are turning their attention to the cultivation ofa better olass of mutton than it is known white-faced and long-wooled sheep prodnce. The demand for Hants-Downs ram lambs has therefore increased du ring the last few years. Tnou- sands have been sold aanually for and in Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Huntin- donshlre and Yorkshire. The numbers this year will, no doubt, be Increased. A point •bout the Hampshire sheep is exceptional. They are so large and vigorous, tbat ram lambs are preferred for use t-» yearling or older sheep. In fact, in the case of an exceptionally good ram, which proves himself capable of leaving a strong stamp of his own good qualities on his issue, a yearling or two-shear sheep is never used, even by the fl ickmasters of Hants and Wilts. These ram lambs are in great demand, o'n account of the great proportion of lean to fat they produce. This is why tbey are so suitable for crossing purposes with the large Lincoln ewes, which possess a large portion of fat to lean. By the way, too, brown, black or mottled leg-t are thus produced; butchers can leave a bit of skin on the legs and shanks of their sheep in tbe carcass, and thus charge the prioe of cross-breeds or downs. Whether or not there will be a turn In the English wool trade, we have at present no means of Judaing. But tbe increase in the produce of the foreign wool-growing countries has been so great within a few years, that it seems to be a better prospect for England fl.e_-masters to Improve the quality and price of mutton, rather than to lok forward to an increased profit by the growth of wool. This will be sufficiently evident if the fact be recalled that the wool imported from Australia, Naw-Zjaland, South America, and- some minor foreign countries amounted last year to tbe sum of upwards of twenty-five million ponnds sterling. ■ .—*a ^ » Profit of Horse Breeding in Texas. A Texas correspondent of the Boston H-arald who seems to be posted writes the following npon the su^J' ct of the profit in horse breeding in that State: There can be no question in the mind ol any one well acquainted with the breeding •tnd growing of horses, who examine the conditions which make for success in this business in this State, but that horses, of •tny breed or family, can be bred and be urown for market more cheaply than in *ny other section of the country. I have <iven this sub} act the careful examination It deserves of any American who undertakes to point out to his countrymen any aource of prosperity, and am tree to declare that, while the business of cattle, •iheep and swine growing in this Stat is often attended with great difficulties, tnd, because of - attendant circumstano s, iften made disagreeable to the proprietor, C have been unable to discover no condition or circumstance connected with the business ot breeding and gro vlng hor»?s here tbat either militates against the .-turety of success or causes it to be other than • MOST PKOFITABLB, peaceable and gentlemanly employment, iud I do not hesitate to pronounce it the business par excellence for Texas, and the one that will return the largest per eent. of profit to the Investor of any class cf oreediag that ean be engaged ln. I will wie fly lay before the readers the reasons ior the above statement, whicii may be startling to some, and to others seem utterly improbable. I a the flrst plaea the demand for horses is on the increase the wirldover. The rapid construction and enlargement of cities and the increase of men's accumulated wealth are annually bringing more and more buyers to th*? -q.iine field, and that this demand will continue and continue to increasa is beyond q ie*ition. There will never be horse-3 enough to satisfy the world's denand. And this holds true, not as regards one family and class oi horses, but of the whole gsnus. The horse is man's beet servant, as the dog is his best companion, and the more the borders of civilization srj widened and extended, the more opportunities will there be for equine service and assistance. Hence, it may be safely predicted, a growing demand will exist for horses; every class of horses can be bred aad grown here to perfection. The climate and soil are of such a qna'ity that they provide the best possible condition of development. Indeed, Texas might, With truth, bs called the natural, as It was the flrst home of the horse on the American continent. Here the high-bred Moorish horse, accustomed ln old Spain to every care and attention, was left by the vicissitude of fortune to such' treatment as nature, undirected and unassisted by man, might be able to give him. It proved a most kind;y and beneficent one indeed. And within half a century the '.' wild horee ofthe plain" had spread his offiprin? • over the fertile country in herds numbered only by thousands, and became a synonym of beauty, speed and courage. I have been told by old plainsmen that forty teabs aoo herds of wild horses, numbering then- sands, true descendants of the Moorish barb "a stream as pure as the fount when«3 it flowed"—might be met with on the prairies of Texas, divided by their leaders into bands of "fifties and hundreds," the whites, the blacks, the bays, the roans, the parti-colored, each in squadrons by themselves, whose movements had the precision of disciplined men, and whose careering charge across the plain was, in mfj-sty of motion and terror of sound, as wben an ancient army rushed headlong to battle. I have, myself, sat in my saddle, in the cool, dewy morning, never, as it seems to me, so cool and dewy as here, and seen 500 horses "unbridled, nnhaltered and free," go swinging by at a trot, heads up, eyes on fire and tails streaming, not an unsound foot or limb in the herd; not a 1 ggard; and, as the long line swept over the verge of the swell, out of sight, leaving only a fragrant trail of crush grasses and floweas behind tbem, and the dying echoes of mufll;d sound, wondered If eye of man ould see a finer sight; and what the poor, pent-up dwellers in cities would say oould they sit where I sat, amid the grasses, the flowers and the dew, and sen what I had seeii! Bat these are not the horses I should breed were I a breeder in Texas, any more than I would breed the old-time Texas steer, or Mexican sheep. Not that the Mustang horse ls not a valuable animal iu himself, and a valuable basis to oreed up from in order to reach quickly certain results, for they arf; but still they .lo not constitute the best cross if the • reeder alms at the best, viz : THB MOST PROFITABLE RESULT. The breeding I advocate for Texas is norses precisely such as are being bred North—the family horse, the farm horse, ■ he trotter, the Parcheron, the thoronghbred. The trouble with Northern breeding is it does not pay, and the reason it does not pay is because lt cost so much to raise a colt North that, when he ls ready tor the market, even if he should bring $g00 or $400 to his owner, he has eaten .limself up in the mean time. The cost of .-aiding a colt North, If bred from good -took, is more than, on the average, he vill bring, when ready for the market. Now, |200 is a good selling price for a well- bred, four-year old horse, unbroken. That ls, it is a price at which he oan quickly and shortly be parted with by his iwner. But it cost double that to breed •tnd gro*- one up to his fourth year in the Northern states. Hence the difficulty. But what does it cost to grow a colt in CexosT I have floured ln every item of -oxpense that my own mind and the minds •f other experienced horsemen can sug-^ <ost, and the annual cost of growing a jolt ln this State, in a good location, can- lot, under judicious management, be made •o exceed (5. It is safe to say that 1,000 ir 10,000 oolts of high breeding, were the eqnlsite number of Northern mares and .tallions here, could be bred and grown up o the end of the fourth year at an average of |30 per head. Such stock would oom- jaand here from f 150 to $200 each for driving, family, livery stable and saddle use, •and this regardlf ss of any speed, beyond a fair rd~.d"galt. A farm stocked with TWO HUNDRED BRCOD MARKS prom the North of fair quality and bred to tallions of approved quality, would after the fourth year, net to the owner at least $20,000 a year, nor can any intelligent horseman "cut" the figures down lower. C consider the business of breeding and growing fine—viz , sound, beautiful and speedy horses, as destined In the near future, to be the business of Southwestern Tex :s. Tae conditions are all favorable to an unparalleled degree. A mild, healthy climate, dry soil, plenty of water and shad**, a donn indigenous grasses, peculiarly adapted to thoir taste and the upbuilding of their structure; oat lands that yield -from 50 to 93 bushels per acre, soils tb which the famous alfalfa is a native and in wbich Swedish turnips grow an enormous yield; no necessity for barns or costly equipments; cheap land—why, in view of these thl.igs, should a Northern man wonder when told that "we raise a horse here as cheaply as you do a turkey North." so stlfl in her limbs, she walks with difficulty; abont two or three days patches of redness appeared on ber teat*?; now those red spots c iver half of teats and the calf, 10 weeks old, in sucking cuticle ofl* and they are very sore and cracking.

The farmers propose to declare all who refuse to settle on the prorata plan public enemies.
