Oneioft the advantages of thorough bred
stock is, that it furnishes the breeder
foundation so to speak, upon which he
can gradually build up flock or herd 10
his own ideal of usefulness. In thor
ough-bred animals certain prevailing
characteristics have become so strongly
developed and thoroughly confirmed,
that the transmission OF them TO thelr
posterirv becomes almost an absolute Ger
tainty There is no danger therefore, IN
their case, of losing these general excel
lencies. while the undesirable qualities
are being slowly but surely bred out by
a udicious pairing ofanimals. The prln-
ciples Of good breeding depend upon the
simple law that like begets like The
same popularity existing in both pare Is
will almost certainly exhibit itself In
the offspring, perhaps still more consplc-
uously If the parents possess diverse or
opposite qualities, other things being
equal the offspring may be expected TO
represent the mean By the use of these
simple principles, wonderful changes can
be wrought in any kind of stock, with
out going outside of its own variety, or
even family In this manner, the Span
ish sheep have been changed in their ma.
ny essential features by breeders in this
country BY similar process we know
that Bakewell, of England, gave to the
Leicestcrs their peculiar merit as a NUT
ton sheep, and i'll like manner, cattle,
hogs, poultry, and other kinds of domes-
tic animals have been bred 50 as to form
varieties with fixed characteristics. On
the other hand, let the attempt be made
with mongrels, and the breeder can not
he sure that the characteristics of either
parent will appear in the offspring; or
that the increase of different years will
bear any great resemblance to each 9th
er. All hopes therefore, of establishing
4 desirable uniformity in stock in this
case are at an end, or at least very din
cult of realization.

Beils 10 Prevent Dogs Killing Sheep

Q. II Baker inquiries III he can cure
his valuable dog Of a propensity to chase
sheen. and kill them!' Buckle good
sized bell under his neck, and he will
never attempt to chase sheep. He Will
soon learn that, when he trotS along, the
tou"uc of the bell will make no noise
But as soon as he starts on run, his
bell rings such loud alarm as te make
him desist from chasing sheep. A dog
disposed to kill sheep moves still and
silly. and a dog cannot catch a sheep
while moving on trOt. Another effect
nal way is to buckle "A strap around the
dogs neck with light chain attached,
long enough to reach to his hind feet
where it Is fastened to a round billet OF
wood. about four inches in diameter, and
l. inches long. 1t is impossible for HIM
to run with such clog at his heels,
while it will give him all the liberty
that dog needs ordinarily around the
house or barn. Bells are sometimes at
toched TO the necks of sheep to frighten
dors. This will be found effectnal if
cow bells be used instead of little tink-
limo ones that scarcely be heard when a
flock of sheep is running rapidly. There
sbouId he not less than ten bells in a
Anck of one hundred sheep; and the
f.cbJs sheep-not the horned bucks and
wethers-should wear the bells. as dogs
seldom attack such sheep The feeble
ones being left behind in the chase,
wonld soon be overtaken by their pursu-
ers and fall IN easy prey, if the strong
and swift-footed carry the alarms.

Planting Peas Deep.

Dfep planning is not generally resorted to
under he impression that the setd will rot in

SIX or eight inches deep will produce twice 70
much as those covered but an inch, they will
continue nisering longer, and the vines are
more vigorous and do not lie down, as Is often
the case when shallow paintings are made. We
have tested this matter, and therefore know
from experience that II IL is desired to get
