ture, each and both are increased and
strengthened by active labor, IN the
bulls, as much and for the same
reasons as are those Of horses. by &C.
tive, regular work or training. which
IS the same thing with another name.
It is easy to perceive, therefore, that
the progeny Of bulls that have heen
trained 70 labor. must have more Wig
orous powers Of digestion and nutri-
ton, more power to make and use
blood, than tie offspring Of animals
otherwise similar, that are not trained
20 work, because not quite so handy
and feet as is the agile horse
ButI must come TO an additional
and more curiously natural point Of
philosophy underlying the whole sub'
ject Of the superiority of working
sires for stock getting purposss-irl-
volxing. as it7dOes, the Very. essence ia
a literal and pr0creative point Of vieT.
The sperm, upon the purity and integ-
rity Of which fecundity, or the power
Of propagation itself depends, IS a Sc
cretinn, or, more correctly, a rectihed
essense Of the blood. The quality Of
the blood determines that Of the sperm
al secretion. IF the blood be foul or
impure, SO will the essential extract
derived from it. A foul-bloOded ami
NAL will beget one Of like character
or quality; for here the distance from
cause to consequence is so short, and
the relation so close, that the .eharae-
teristics of causes are not, and cannot
be subject to material modification by
any intermediate Influences. This
conclusion is as cogent and demonstra-
bic as any problem in geometry. In.
fact, the problems Of geometry, and
the demonstrations OF mathematics,
aresimply discovered relations Of prin-
ciples in nature.
The activity Of the working ami
mails, bull or horse, or otherwise, AZ
ways ihsures a vigorous circulation,
and at the same time as a eonsequent
and corresponding result Of the samo
general causes. rapid consumption
Of forming and repairing structure,
and the renewal of the blood. The
blood is always purified and free from
effete matter. in proportion 10 the
amount Of pure air passed through the
| lungs and the blood vessels. COnse-
quentiy bulls that are wGrkedregnlar-
ly for some months before and up TO
the time Of being used with cows, have
more. vigorous and pure Gov and
quality Of the vital current, than they
would have without being so worked,
or when living ia comparative mac
tirify-as animals that do not labor
usually live. The great degree Of ao-
tivity eliminates foul and effese sub
stances from the blood aad the flow
Of the latter is more easy, rapid and
free, in. consequence Of improved and
superior quality OF natural 6tness.
As is the quality Of the grapes or
apples, so will be that Of the wine or
cider. The corn crop win be ike the
seed corn. The grain viii govern the
product. The extract viii essentially
resemble the bulk in general. Purer
blood in the sire, from his greater
functional activity and acquired power
resulting from it, together consequent
on the enforced activity Of labor,
through al the department of liges-
ton, nutrition. defecafiOn, must exist
more in animals that do than in those
which do not work, and a purer or true
sperm, OF germinal secretion, natural
ly insure qualities in the progeny SIM
liar to those Of the sire at the time Of
propagation. The curiosity induced
by knowledge Of the facts introduce
tory to these remarks, led to the train
of thought embodied in this brief and
hurried exposition Of a novel but i'm
portant question; and. as It is, send
