twenty-four hour#, put them in again
three weeks, then take them out, dry
and smoke.

smoking toughens the meat. After
smoking, sack your hams and hang in a

Tle I*9l ni 9f it Home,
It is not easy to describe the (icrfecl
high bred saddle-horse so that he will W
recognized at sight by the uninitiated,
and the initiated need no such descrip
tion. Hi* characteristics may be thus
sketched : *ln uld have, first of all,
large, sound, ojien-heelesi feet, with the
trog well-detiued, the f'asterns neither so
long as to W weak nor w steep a* to give
an unyielding action —rather ot medium
length and sloping back wart! a litlie more
than the frog tine of the the leg*
Wlwceu the pastern joint* and the knee*
and back*. cannot be too short, and the
hack tendon* should W so large and full
a* to give them the appearance of width
and flatne-s. The knee; cannot be too
Uige and lull, nor can the hocks W t hi
large and bony. The forearm, from ifc •
knee to the point of the shoulder and the
hind leg from the bock to the stifle joint,
should be very long and muscular, and
quite free from fat or flabbiness. The
shoulder must be very sloping—the more
so the totter—and overlaid with tense
and prominent muscles. The hips and
thigh# should to well-loaded with
muscle, and if there i# to be a fleshy con
dition at any point let it to here.
Owing to the slope of the shoulder# and
the heightof the withers,and to the promi
nence of the muscle* over the hips, the
back should have the appearance of ex
treme shortness, witli a Blight, but only
slight downward curve; “hardly room
to carry a saddle ” if the form in which
the horseman expresses bis highest
praise. This is the preferable form of
hack, but very many thoroughbred# are
deficient in this respect. Largely, as a
matter of beauty, the spine should run
hack nearly level from the hips, and the
tail should to carried high—the Ken
tucky bloedboree is often very defective
here—the neck should to long and lean,
well-arched, but not toefy at the crest,
and furnished with a large loose hanging
windpipe below, well-defined even when
the horse is at rest.
The ear# must be quick, small at their
netting on, and thin ; there i# no objec
tion to their having a good length ; the
head may to, but i not necessarily,
Htnall, hut it should ha well-shaped, atid
it must to as tony and a# free as possible
from flesh ; it should to so wide and clean
between the jaws as to give ample space
for the windpipe ; the nostrils must be
capable of great distension to allow free
breathing during exertion; the skin
should be soft, the coat fine and silky,
and the hair of the mane and tail, al
though it may be somewhat wavy,
should to free from anything like curli
ness and rather scanty tiian su|)er
abundant.
After severe exertion, full veins should
show all over the whole tody. Hie dis
tension of these veins, which are generally
invisible in the cold-blooded horse, gives
the thoroughbred one of his greatest ad
vantages by affording relief to the pulsa
tion during the strong action of the
hea't. The horse above described is
quite sure to have the deep chest and
heart-place which are s> important to
strenuous exertion, hut many o. the best
thoroughbreds are deficient in that
round barrel-hooped form of the ribs
which is necessary to the roomiest ac
comodation of the lungs and abdominal
viscera.

l>Tfiilnic<' of l'wr'i|(ii Fowl Nlock,
It is a fact that intelligent observant
fanciers havo not lost sight of, in the
past two or three years and which lm#
hem noted during the present season
more emphatically than ever, that the
foreign or imported blooded poultry we
now havo in the United States—more
especially among the Asiatic varieties—
lias largely deteriorated, of late, in its
breeding or teproducing qualities in
many yards, including, in some instances,
the stock of some o’ our most noted
breeders.
This decadence has not been anticipated
by many who understand and appreciate
the common course of nature and the
law* cf procreation. Any species or
strains ol live stock will, in time,
degenerate perceptibly, or run out al
together, by constant breeding inter nr.
The result i# as certain a# is any event in
life. No breed of stock will hold its own
universally, however good it may he,
however choicely bred, or however skill
fully manipulated, if it to bred in and
in from a single family or importation
too long.
The very act of so breeding blood re
lations exhaust* it in vitality, and wears
it out in a few venr# ; to it never so good
or so strong at theoutset. The introduce
tion of fresh bio >d of the same species,
not akin to the other, hut possessing all
(hedeairable stamina, vigor, beauty and
I stroug characteristics of the first, is a
fine qiki nun to success in continual breed
ing. In no other way can this decadence
to prevented.
We point to the Asiatic rsc.*, especially,
iu these remarks, for the reason that in
this country our people favor this classof
fowls more particu'atly, and because it
may safely to assumed also that a very
largo majority of all the domestic poultry
stock kept and bred in the United State* :
at the present day, belongs to the Chinese
varieties—the Cochins, the Brahamas,
etc. And where has thi* blooded stock
came from, mostly, into our breeder’s
hand ?
None will deny or question the tact
that the thousands of what are esteemed
i goto “ strain* ” or families of the bluff,
| |>artridge, white or black Cochins at pre
| sent being bred in America, came down
j to u# in 1876 and 1577 from very limited
; number of original breeding birds. And
l it may here to affirmed that of that nnni
j tor veiy few of tne original stock hns
reached us on thi# side of the Atlantic
from foreign sources beyond ihc limit# of
Great Britain.
These stock fowls, stout which we have
plumed ourselves so earnestly, often time#,
are not native Chinese or Asiatic bird*
at all. They are href Iron) such fowls,
imported into England from time to time
and even there the numtorof birds which
are received annually from China direct
is very small. Iu this country we hear
of no arrival* from Chinese territory,
lately.
Tnu* it will to scon that we hate torn
breeding the Cochi us, and are now breed
ing them—of ali colors aud descriptions
—lrom the Kng!i#h descendants of the
originally imported Asiatic fowls for the
must part. The old Cochin (or Xi.uigha')
stock brought into this country twenty
five or thirty years ago direct by Messrs.
Marsh, Forbes, Cope, Paimer, Cushing
and others, of course was long since
exhausted. The early .Sturgeon and
Powell stock, imported into England
1 from 1845 to '4B, has long since become
extinct. And so we. of course, are
breeding from whatever our English
c mains may have sent us—this kind of
stock got out Irom Great Britain in the
last ten or twelve years, for example,
toing all British bred, and not turn the
native originals.
How long these several strains may
have been bred in and-in by such fancier#
as Baily, Teebay, Cooper, Boyle, Nolan,
Baker, Throgmore, Pent#, Crier and
others from whom we have “ imported ”
our Cochin stock in recent year#, no one
know#. It may to that these different
strains have been amalgamated, to a
greater or less extent—in England—since
the poulterer and Htock-raiser of that
country understand# this business, and
manipulates it, much better than we do,
down to the present time. And though
thus mixing and intermingling the dif
ferent original Chinese importations they
have received there, they may have
contrived to keep the blood and original
stamina of the China fowls preserved, to
a degree, among them. But we have
have not done this to any extent in this
country. And the consequence of our
mode of management of the Anglo-
Chinese stock is what we have already
explained—its marked decadence, of late,
as far as prolificneas isconcerned.
Not to extend our remarks on this
subject to too great a length, wc conclude
by observing that the consequence, or
results, of this interbreeding in America
has been realized very seriously among
us in the past year or two, and more es
pecially have we. experienced its ill ef
fects in 1877. TLi# decadence is exhi
bited very sensibly in one phase which
breeders will quickly recognize, we take
it, upon the fact being pointed out, and
that is in the non-fertile character of
eggs laid by these fowls oflate. Perhaps
this peculiar demonstration is among the
first serious symptoms, or indications, we
shall have, thatjho stock we iiave bred
from so long without introducing genu
ine fresh original blood among it, is being
run out, —Poultry World.
After Seven Years.
It was at this season of the year, just
seven years ago, that an extraordinary
scene occurred in Danbury. It was in
the evening, and a eouple were bringing
in several pots of plants from the yard
to save them from the frost, which the
temperature of out-doors threatened.
While thus engaged she spoke, referring
to a geranium she had in her hand :
“I wouldn’t lose this one fora great
deal, as mother gave it to me.”
lie looked at it.
“ Your mother gave to you? Guess
not. 1 bought that plant myself.”
“ Why, it’s no such thing.”
“ 1 tell you I did,” he added, speaking
with warmth.
“And 1 tell you you didn’t,” she
firmly asseverated. “ IX) you suppose I
don’t know what was given to me?”
“ Do you suppose I don’t know what 1
bought with nty own money?”
“ If you say you bought that geran
ium,” she said, speaking very slowly,
and with white lip*, “you say what you
know to he false.”
Do you mean to #ay 1 lie?” he hitsed.
“ It you say that, I do.”
“ You shall he sorry for this,” he
threatened.
“ Never,’’she retorted.
lie put on hi* hat and coat and left
the house.
That was seven years ago this fall.
She never saw him again, nor heard from
him in all that seven years. What must
have been the thoughts, the agony of
mind, endured by that wretched wife in
that time no one on earth knows. She
kept her thoughts to herself, and pa
tiently, as far as outward ap|>earaiice
went, bore the burden put upon her.
On Friday evening of last week her
and x*r opened, and a man walked into her
presence. There was a look, a rry, and
she was in the arms of her husband.
What a happy home was that. All the
agony ol the seven long year# was for
gotten tn that hour ot reconciliation and
reunion. A hearty supper was spread
and with tears ami smiles she hovered
about him, ministering to every want.
After supper there was a long talk ot the
pat.
“It i* so singular,” she said, speaking
in oneoi the pauses," that it should have
happened as it did. 1 can scarcely com
prehend it at all. It seem* like an awful
dream. We both lost our tempers, and
we have both suffered lor it. The miser
able geranium! Do you know 1 cannot
bear to s e one of those plants? 1 told
mother to come and take it hack, for 1
wouldn’t have it in sight.”
"What!” he ejaculated, “do you still
persist in saying that she gave it to you? ’
“ Why, John, of course she did.
Haven’t you got over that idea vet ?”
■ “ No. 1 haven't,” he persisted, his face
darkening. “ I bought that geranium
just a* sure as I’m a living man.”
>he thought of his years of cruel de
sertion, ot all he had cau.-ed her to
suffer because of his obstinacy and her
heart hardened and her face flushed.
“You are m an to say that when you
know it is false ”
"It isn’t false. It's Heaven’s truth.”
“ It’s no such thing. It’s a mean con
temptible lie.”
He jumped up from the chair, seized
lus hat and coat and shot out of the
house in a tlash, and she never uttered a
word in protest. sat there with
clenched hand- and a white face, and
let him go.
And so he is gone. And to-day she
is afiuie again with the old burden and
the old pain. —Danbury Sen*,
Theology and Science.
If intolerant skeptics and superstitious
theologians could catch the spirit of the
following extract from an article in the
New York World, of Wednesday last,
the society would be spared a good deal
of nonsense and religion make a gain of
its great boast and its great lack—charity:
“ If the reasonings of the various sciences
were applied to one another as indis
criminately as those of theology to science
and those of science to theology, we
should have a conflict of the sciences, a g
well as a conflict between religion and
science. If the geologist should insist on
the consideration of the heavenly bodies
in strata, our observatories would be
come a chaos. We are not entitled for
this reason to consider geology unfounded.
If the crystallographer should insist on
the classification of animals according to
angels, faces and specific gravity, a wail
of anguish would arise from the zoological
collections of the world. On this account
is crystallography absurd ? When a
narrow theology would make tho decree
of some church council or ’the fallible
interpretation of some portions of scrip
ture a criterion for scientific verity, are
wo to reject religion, the chief center of
all that wc call pure and good? And if
science advances some doctrine that
throws a radiant light across the realm
of nature, hut stands in conflict with our
present views of the bible, are we justified
in proclaiming an antagonism between
religion and science? A deeper view of
both religion ana science, a broader view
of their history, a faint glimpse of the
one cause knowable or unknowable of
both nature and spirit, would make both
sides more prudent ami more tolerant.
The words of Bacon come back to us
after three centuries with renewed
emphasis, to encourage us in our doubts,
to raise our loftier hopes : ‘ Truth is the
daughter of lime. ’ ”
It rather sends a chill through you
to meet the doctor on your return from
the country, and have him say, “gladto
see you ; business has been awful dull.”
