Breeding Horses.

AS there are many erroneous opinions en-
tertained respecting the breeding of horses,
] trust may be indulged hearing if
give the public the observations | have
made on this subject. AS a practical FAR
mer, do not hesitate TO express my opin-
ion, and give the prominent reason why we
have so many horses inferior in size,
strength, beauty and motion. This is not
owing 10 a want of care taken of the colts,
or 10 their not being well fed or sheltered
during the severity of the winter. The fact
is, that most farmers are induced 10 take
good care of their animals, because they
know lis for their interests 10 do so. The
great reason is, the mares selected for breed
ers are unfit for the purpose. They are,
perhaps, too small, they lack physical Wig
or, or they have become old, or have been
over.worked or broken down. In addition
10 these defects they are not sprigh,ly or
agile in their motions, nor kind in their
disposition. Such animals should not be
selected for breeding Nor again should
the sires be ill-shaped, overgrown, coarse,
ungainly in their motions and malicious in
their dispositions.
Observation shows that colts usually take
the shape of the head, ears, chest, limbs
and feet more from the sire than from the
dam while the size of the body, form of
the hips, and color seem TO bear a closer
resemblance 10 the latter. For this reason
the mare should be Of good size, well pro.
portioned and easy of motion; and it is un.
necessary TO remark that all these qualities
in a high degree, are requisite in the sire.
Some farmers greatly overvaue horses that
are fast trotters, and mares that move rapid
ly are held in market at high price.
MIXTURE OF GRASS SEEDs-We question
welher sufficient attention has been paid
10 this subject in our country. In England,
and on the Continent, farmers mix several
kinds Of seed together, when laying down
their lands to grass, because some sorts
grow better than others in different parts of
the same year.-We have seen the following
mixture tried and are prepared 10 recon-
mend it: Ten pounds of red clover, FIVE
pounds of white clover, one peck of herd
gass, and half bushel of red top. Let this
be salted down with two bushels of plaster
