HoRsEs. The following account oflhe origin
Of the New England race of horses is given in
letter to the editor of the Western Messenger:
Your article upon horse racing has been going
the rounds OF the newspapers. do not agree
with you quite in your position that racing is
not necessary in the attainment Of good breed
of horses because wherever horses good,
there is some blood, some of the Arab strain;
the hest horses in the world ARABIA and Toor-
kisan excepted, and these seem TO he the eli
mates where he horse comes 20 that perfection
naturally. which elsewhere can only be arrived
at by judicious crossing,) are in old and New
England. In Old England the horse for quick
work is n cross Of the racer with the native; for
draught the native horse crossed with the Flem-
ish, to give weight, and dash of blood to give
courage and wind. Now we have nntive
breed in New England, it is worth while to-
trace the origin of the Vermont and New Hamp-
shire horses, which confessedly SO good
The first horses were brought from England by
the puritans, and were ofcourse the Old English
stock, which Mt that day had been improved by
a cross Of the Arabian for both the Charleses
patroEzed the turf, and it is supposed tn at the
Barb was introduced into England by the crusa-
ders. But to returns,o the Vermont nags. In
the beginning of the Revolution, OH Arabian
horse, on its WY to England n present to
George ILL., was captured Ivy Yankee privateer,
and found his way to tina, region which now
produces the best trotters. and his blood runs in
all their veins. And the reason why the South
ern and Western horses are inferior for work. is
in my opinion, that Judcious system of cross
ing is not practised. They breed 100 much for
blood, and too little for bone and bottom, and
the result is a long legged generation which can
run well, but are unfit for work. | asked Col
Jacques, of Charleston, (he greatest breeder we
have) what was the best breed of pigs that he
had, "Why" said he, 'that depends what
kind yon want whether large or small, very fat,
or only moderately so, sc. for can breed them
to order for you as certainly as tailor can make
you coat to order.'
