PROPER BREEO.NO.
The proper breeding of live
s.nck requires that consideration
1 ■ given to many matters not
given attention. ‘'S' nilarto the
( locts of temperature *s that of
], imidity, the hair becoming lon
; r and more oily in the moister
mtries. Even within the lim
it, of England, the ox of the wes
; . , n coasts, exposed to the humid
\ ipors of the Atlantic, has long
er hair than the ox of the east
< n districts. Also the effect of
c intinued exposure to winds and
s orms may modify parts of the
:. imal form. There are certain
h ceds of gallinaceous fowls
\.iiich an> destitute of the rump.
•-called. Most of the common
f wls of the Isle of Arran, on the
< inst of Scotland, have this pe
< diarity. This little island con
,ts of high hills on which scarce
a hush exists to shelter the ani
main which inhabit it from the
continued gales of the Atlantic.
The feathers of a long tail might
incommode tin* animals, and.
t herefore, we may suppose, they
(appear; and were peacocks to
h • raised under similar circum
i mces it is probable that in the
i arse of successive generations
. >y would lose the beautiful ap
ndage which they bring from
ir native jungles. The idea
s that we need to have the plant
«>r animal in a suitable location.
“There is not one of the im
proved breeds of domesticated
.•stock or plants suited to all
5 •! ices or conditions of life. To
h. at their best Jhey must each
l*e kept, as nearly as possible,
i dor the same conditions of food
a? I climate as those under which
tl •> have attained their charac
teristics. A material change in
any of the conditions is liable ul
ti nately to make a material
c unge in the character of the
Iveed. These changes are usual
ly unfavorable ones, although not
m cessiu'ily so. ('hange of itself,
when in the direction of better
care, more generous feeding and
more genial climate will tend to
produce greater size, a more
y. aceful form and greater excel
lence. At the same time im
provement in these particulars
is quite likely to he at the expen
se of what is termed hardness,
or ability to withstand exposure
a d rough usage. ”
We may learn a good deal about
h ceding by study of the outcome
1 . wild animals. When animals
in a state of nature are not dis
tin bed in the enjoyment of the
c iditions under which they have
i ist ed for ages, as the American
bison or buffalo, the elk, the
<;< er. the wolf, etc., the uniform
i which prevails among all the
i lividuals of the race is remark -
a ! >le: and all tin* peculiarities of
S iucture. color and cliaractor
? • transmitted from generation
t generation with almost unerr
i : certainty, and here the max
i; of the breeder, that “like he
fts like,” scarcely ever meets
: exception. Such animals are,
i’ the truest sense of the word,
thoroughbred, or purely bred.
Tlvre has been, no commingling
o blood or crossing of various
s ains to give the race a eompos
ii character, and hence, when
v have seen the sire and dam.
\> can tell witii certainty what
t progeny will bo. Were any
o our domesticated animals?
t iroughbreds. in the sense that
t bison, elk or deer are thor
o hhreds. the breading problem
v dd Ik? a simple one. and like
v ;ld invariably produce like as
l« as the conditions of life re
n ned the same.
he same principle holds true
i the reproduction of vegetable
li . An absolutely pure seed
r -oduees its kind, hut when
e s fertilizing has once taken
p e the result is uncertain.
I he flower of the Baldwin tree
b fertilized by the pollen of a
v i sap the seed from this un
it will produce neither ihe one
n the other. It will Ik* an ap
p because both of its parents
o apples; but as they were of
d urent varieties or forms or
c irooter, so the produce will
h ea character of its own, diff
e >g from both of its ancestors.
A J even if the stigma of the
t Iwin Ik* fertilized by pollen
o s own kind, the result is tin
es ? sin. because the parent itself
is me result of cross-fertilization.
T: • application of this principle
tc ne crossing of different kinds
of domesticated animals is evi

We announce this week the w inner of the prize—the |
little Buck’s Range— in the contest which we have been |
running for some time. §|
It was won by little Urma Lewis, daughter of Judge |
and Mrs. W. M. Lewis of Mount Yernon. The little stove jj
is a complete little Buck—just like some of the big ones we |
are selling—and will make Urma and her little friends hap- |
py for several years—until she is a grownup lady. Even |
then she will have nothing but a Buck stove—just like |
everybody else around this section. I
