tirm of ARTIFICIAL FEE El, fixed without springs, wires,
or ligatures. They so pertec;ly resemb e the natural teeth
as not to be distintruished fro a the originals by the closest
observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will
be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This
method does not require tie extraction of roots, or any pain-
ful operation, and wilt support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful
in mastication.

Breeding Establishments and Stud Farms

in France.

The llamas de la Celle, St. Cloud (M. Schickler's), though
of small extent in comparison with many others in the
north of France, is yearly increasing in importance, as the
owner spares no expense in selecting the best breeding
blood to be obtained. It is within easy reach of Paris, and
it is a very pleasant drive through the Bois de Boulogne
and St. Cloud, a route which is often preferred by the
owner when he visits it, the distance from Paris being
about 12 miles on the Versailles road. It may also be
reached from Paris from the station St. Lazare to Rueil
(about half an hour's journey), where the American tram-
way omnibus meets the train, and takes passengers via
Malmaison and Bougival, from which latter place the haras
is about two miles and a half distant. On the road between
Rueil and Malmaison is passed the chateau, formerly occu-
pied by the Empress Josephine, and on reaching Bougwal
the line runs close to the river Seine, which, notwith-
standing the frost in the country, is now rising every day.
Previous to coming to this haras M. Schickler had expended
much money and trouble on his pad docks at Choisy le Rol.
On the death of M. I'escatore, the proprietor of this land,
it was occupied for a short time by Baron Niviere, and in
1862 M. Schickler removed his breeding stud there, having
rented the ground from the widow. The paddocks are on
a small scale, being about only 70 acres in extent, but the
land is well situated, and a brook of clear running water
flows through the centre, which is never dry in summer ;
troughs are placed in each paddock which are daily re-
plenished from this source. Great credit is due to the stud
groom, Dorman, for the appearance of the stock under his
charge, on which he bestows every care and attention; he
lived for 25 years with the late Sir Gilbert Heathcote, and
during the last seven years acted in the capacity of stud
groom to that gentleman ; ho has been for seven years
with M. Schickler, who has the greatest confidence in his
judgment and abilities. This establishment consists of
22 brood mares, 11 yearlings, and 3 stallions. The follow-
ing is a description of the stallions;—Argonaut, by Stock-
well, out of Aphrodite, bred in England 1861; Nabob, by
the Nob, out of Hester, bred in England 1850 ; Martel en
Tete, by Surplice, out of Gabble, bred by M. Schickler in
1855. Argonaut is a bay, with two white hind heels. He
stands full 16 hands high, and may be correctly termed a
short-legged lengthy horse, showing more than ordinary
quality. He has a good head well set on to a clean neck,
and his shoulders are well made. He has a good back and
loins, powerful muscular quarters and thighs, broad hips,
and good hocks. This horse has only recently been im-
ported into France, and will cover this season 20 mares,
besides those of his owner, at 20 sovs each, and from his
blood and appearance is well worth the attention of breeders.
Nabob is now 17 years old, and looks remarkably fresh and
well. He is a black horse, and stands about 16 hands 2
inches high ; ho has a beautiful blood-like 1. as 1 and neck
well sot on, good arms, good back, and very powerful
quarters, in which latter particular his stock very much
resemble him. Martel en Tete is bay, standing about 15
hands 2 inches, with good back and loins, and a very com-
pact frame on short legs. Ho will be located at this hares
for the ensuing season at 4 soya each mare. Out of the
22 brood mares 16 are in foal ; but, as will be soon from
the table below, several of thorn are more than twenty
years old, and might well be dispensed with, but
M. Schickler does not like to part with old favourites.
In the first paddock I noticed Bravery and Grande
Mademoiselle. The former is a particularly nice, short-
legged useful mare ; Grande Mademoiselle is a good-sized
lengthy chesnut mare, and is now barren to Monarque.
Adjoining this paddock was the most valuable mare in the
stud, 'viz., Villafranca, by Monarque, out of Miss Gladia-
tor, own sister to Gladiateur ; she is a very even-shaped
mare, and is much improved since last year. She was
claimed by M. Schickler in a selling race at Chantilly, in
1864, for 600 sows, from Count de Lagrange; she only won
two races for her new owner, viz., the Prix de l'Ete of 216
sovs, at Paris June ; and a prix principal of 100 soya, at
Angers, the same month. Shortly after this she unfortu-
nately broke her fetlock joint at exercise at Chantilly, but
has sufficiently recovered to be used for stud purposes, and
is now certainly one of the most valuable brood mares on the
Continent, and is flaw in foal to Nabob. Running with the
latter was Paqueline,
a very well-bred mare, combining
the Baron and Melbourne strain, and her dam, Lady Fal-
coner, is out of Lady Lure well, by Hornsea, Gabble, now 22
years old, the dam of Martel en Tote, Charles Quint, and
Charles Martel, is still a picture to look at ; she is not in
foal. Moorhen is a grey mare, by Chanticleer, now in foal
to Nabob ; she is a good-looking roomy mare, and has very
much improved in appearance. M. Schickler has a very
good-looking two-year-old grey filly, by Stockwell out of
this mare, now in training at Chantilly, entered in the Eng-
lish Oaks, called Jung Frau. Vivace, by Voltigeur, is a
nice clean-made mare, but all her stock are nervous ; she
is now in foal to Stentor; she is the dam of Prince Regent,
winner of nine races last year. Another good-looking,
well-bred mare deserving of notice is Volatile, by Volti-
geur—Comfit, by Sweetmeat, who combines staying blood
on the sire's side, and has the Sweetmeat strain on the
dam's side. Kiss Me Not (Germanique's dam) is a good-
sized, lengthy mare, and is now in foal to Martel en
Tete. Poudriere is one of the best-looking of the
young mares ; she is a nice, clean, wiry mare, and
is in foal to Stentor ; when in training this mare was
singularly unfortunate in running second to good horses,
viz., second to Bois Roussel in the Poule des Produits, at
Paris; second tonne do l'Air in the French Oaks at Chan-
tilly; and second to Stradella at Paris. In concluding the
description of the mares I may mention the Plenipo mare
(Epaminondas's dam), now 23 years old, as looking very
fresh and well,

The following table will show the age and pedigree of
the brood mares:—

La Tosa, by Chevalier d'lndustrie—Bravery 1863
Ch. mare, by Amesbury (not in foal) 1844
Among the 11 yearlings I particularly noticed a ch. colt
by Nabob—Kiss Me Not, with a white off hind heel. This

is a flue powerful colt, with good back and loins, and likely
to grow into a very fine horse ; also a black colt by Nabob
—Volatile, showing a good deal of bona and quality. Of
the fillies I much preferred a bay filly by Palestro—Grande
Mademoiselle—a good-topped lengthy filly, with two white
hind heels ; also a bay filly by Nabob —Moorhen, a good
size, with good arms and very powerful ; and ahr filly by
West Australian—Vivace ; this was a late foal, but very
neat, although rather small. The yearlings, as a lot, were
much bettor than those of last year, and were looking in
very good condition, and it is to be hoped next year they
will be more fortunate for M. Schickler, who has a large
training stable at Chantilly, varying from 20 to 30 korses,
under the care of hisprivate trainer, J. Bains. This stable
was singularly unfortunate last season, having won nothing
to speak of till the close of the year at Marseilles, when
Germanique carried off the two ptincipal,races. There is
not a more careful and industrious trainer than J. Bains at
Chantilly, and some of the two-year-olds now in training
under his charge may repay him for his carp and past dis-
appointments. Having now concluded the description of
this establishment, I may mention that within five minutes'
walk of this haras is the farm of Belebat, the property of
Madame Pescatore, and now occupied by M. Riviere, whore
stands Florin, the sire of Florentin, winner of the French
Derby last year. Florin is a chestnut, by Surplice, out of
Payment, standing about 15 hands 21 inches high, with
very good back and loins, and capital quarters.
