IMPROVEMENT or HORSES.

Ii is fact well known that the value
Of horses in this country has been
greatly improved BY crossings With
what is known as the thorough bred
horse. The speed and endurance Of
sthe animal have been nearly doubled
BY this means.
While this is true, the fact has been
noticed for some years, that in those
States where blood horses have been
most sought, and the "turfp most fash
|ionable, the stock Of horses for work
and road purposes, has rather de:erlo-
rated than improved.
A writer in the Albany Cultivator
maintains that while the style of bree-
ding, seventy or eighty years since, was
calculated to improve the horse for
work purposes, that pursued of late Is
calculated 10 produce sn entirely con-
tray result. Horses were then trained
to run long distances with heavy
weights; they are now trained TO run
short distances with light weights
The results Of these opposite modes
oftraining and breeding may readily be
seen.
The tendency of the first is TO pro.
duce a compact, solid, substantial ami
NAL, capable Of sustaining himself un-
der long continued action. That Of
the latter is TO produce an animal ca
pable Sflong and rapid strides, contln-
ued but short time. Hence our ra-
GERS, and all their progeny and relatives
have become ong-Iegged and gaunt
generation, poorly fitted for heavy farm
work, or exacting road performance
The inference from this is, that
no further improvement, is to be looked
for from blood horses bred as they are
now for the turf; but that animals must
be bred for those qualities which fit a
horse for road work. Prairie Far

A Dutchman once wanted to wed a
