Breeding Horses.

The report of the committee on horses, for
the Chittcnden County (VermonD A6ric ultural
Society, contains some good remarks. In al
fusion to the hereditary transmission of quail
ties, it Observed
"The progeny will inherit the united quail
ties of their parents. The good as we'll as the
bad qualities will descend from generation to
generation. Hence you will see the importance
ola knowledge of the parentagc, not only as to
the sire, but also as to the dam. Peculiarly of
structure and constitution will also be inherited.
This is an important consideration, though too
much neglected, for however perfect the sire
may be, every good quality may be neutralised,
if not overcome by the defective structure ofthe
dam. Let the essential points be good in both
parents; but if there must be some minor defects
in the one, let them be met and overcome by
excellencies in those particular points, in the
other parent. We would also advise you to let
your breeding mares be in the full vigor of life
Do not commence breeding,with them too young,
and especi tally do not let your mares be incapa-
citated for work by reason of old age. If SO,
you may expect that the foal will have a cor
weakness, and scarcely will single
organ possess its natural Strength. Our farm
ers usually too negligent in the selection of
their mares. They are tempted to part with
their best Mares and to breed from those which
are inferior"

Raising Chickens.

SIR.-1n one of your papers saw mentioned
successful way of raising chickens. have
been in the habit of raising them for some years,
and if you think favorably ofthe mode l have
adopted, you can insert it in your valuable pa
per.
| keep my hens warm under cover during the
winter and feed them on "Brewers Grains,'
placed in an open box or tub, that they may eat
when they please, occasionally giving them OATS
corn, oyster shells, pounded fine, and plenty of
water-by keeping them warm and we'll fed,
they begin laying earlier in the season. prefer
spring chickens, as they lay earlier than old
hens-and the old hens to set as they make the
best mothers. take care the eggs do not get
chilled with cold, and keep them in warm place
in the house. When three or four hens want
to set, put from thirteen to fifteen eggs under
eaah of them according to sze-the day of
the month marked on each egg-and after the
hen has set a week or ten days, examine them
by holding the eggs to crack or knot hole in
board when the sun shines through, and if
discover any rotten ones, take them away and
replace them with fresh ones marked as before
menuOneO w men the chickens are all Matched
put two or three of the broods to one of the
hens, in coop with an opening against an
empty barrel placed on the bilge, and with a
little care when put in the coop, the hen may
be made to brood them at the farther end of the
barrel. In that way the chickens that are not
covered by the hen, huddlc together around her,
and keep each other warm The hens from
which the chickens are taken, put into another
coop, and in about fortnight they will begin
to lay again. The hen being confined in the
coop, will leave her chickens much earlier than
if left to run at large with them, and the chick
ems will become accustomed to going into
the barrel and budding together to be quite
contented to give up the hens brooding them
After the chickens are two or three weeks old,
remove them with the coops into my garden,
where they feed upon insects so as to require
but little food-but do not keep them there
until they are large enough to injure the gar
den. ,-
feel persuaded that in the way have pro-
ceeded, our market could be supplied with an
abundance ofpoultry, and recommend it with
confidence, if managed with care and atten-
ton, as profitable to those who may engage in
such business

pare it.
