Stock Breeding.
BY GENERAL BOWEN.
[vo. 81

~ -
Having in our No. | announced tho
various necessary qualifications of the
sire, without which, it would be wors,
than folly to expect him to transmi,
definite form, color, and qualities; the
dam, next claims our consideration. In
regard to her, much depends upon the
object of the breeder: If he intends to
perpetuate distinct breed, already es.
tablished, then of course nothing less
than a full blooded dam will suffice; and
all remarks in our last No, in reference
to the sire, are equally, applicable to the
dam. Owing however, to the almost
fabulous value of well bred animals it
has by many been considered preferable
to follow a system of breeding, called,
grading up For this purpose, a
thorough bred male is absolutely necessa-
ry: but the dams, are selected, from the
best native stock; reference being had,
to large size, good shape, and robust con-
stitution These dams, are bred to the
full blooded male, and the female issue
resulting from this cross, are kept (being
half bloods) for breeding purposes but
the half blood males, arc castrated at
weaving time. When the half blood fe-
male, attains the proper age, she is bred
direct to the full blood sire; the result
ing projeny being three quarter bloods,
The same course is pursued, with refer
ence to these, as directed for the half
bloods; and the grading up continued in
the same manner, until 1892 blood is
reached, which is considered thorough
bred. In this manner it requires, five
generations, to bring up to the standard
of full blood, our native stock which is
simply, nothing more nor less, than breed
ing the bad blood out, and the good
blood in. With aninials winch multiply
rapidly, and mature early, this is not a
long process; but it requires great pa
thence, when applied to such as only bring
forth one, at birth. The rock upon
which nine -tenths of breeders split, is,
that they attempt the experiment, of breed
ing from some of the young grade males !;
because they frequently look finer, than
their pure bred sire. Don't try this ex-
pertinent; it failed more than q century
ago and has failed ever since, whenever,
and wherever tried. If|however, you
disregard the experience Of the most
scientific breeders of this, or any other
age; and attempt to improve your stock
by breeding from anything less than
a thorough bred sire; and when failure
already chronic--stares you in the face,
don't denounce fine stock, but remember
that you shave departed with your
eyes wide open, from the fundamental
principal herein before announced, as be-
ing absolutely essential, to success.
In my next, will be considered the ef-
feet, of the close breeding herein rec
commended; the good and bad results
thereof, and how to avoid the latter.

Nor BAD.--About forty years ago
there lived in Western Pennsylvania two
farmers named Wood and Osborne, re.
spectively. They were near neighbors.
but inveterate enemies; and it Is said
they lived almost in sight of each other
for fourteen years without speaking to
each other. Wood one day went out
with mattock to dig up half dozen
stumps that had never yet been removed
from his meadow; but finding 1t pretty
hard work, and, moreover, not being very
fond Of work, he gave it up and returned
to the house. On the way it occurred to
him that, by a cunning device, he might
induce his unfriendly neighbor to uproot
the little annoyances. Acting on bright
idea that occurred to him, he entered his
house, got his writing materials, and, in
disguised hand, wrote:
"Mr. Wood: ] am an old man, fast
approaching my end, and cannot 90 to
my grave without revealing to you q Sc
cret. When was young man l helped
to rob your grandfather Of large amount
of money. / and my partner in crime
buried five thousand dollars of it under
the roots Of a tree in the meadow that
now belongs to you. No doubt these
trees have been cut down by this time.
but the stumps may still remain. He
was soon after hanged for murder he
committed, and was sent to prison for
highway robbery was but lately re-
leased, and wish to do all can to atone
for past misdeeds. send this letter by
a person who says he knows where you
live, and he will throw it into your house.
"a RErENrANT CRIMINAL"
Mr. Wood sealed this bit Of fiction,
addressed it to himself, and, when night
came, crept stealthily to Osbornc's door,
opened il little way, tossed it in, and
ran away as though Satan were after
him. On reaching home he retired to
rest, and reposed sweetly till morning
When he rose he cast glance toward
his meadow, and, to his satisfaction, dis
covered that every stump in his meadow
had been dug up during the night and
pulled out by the roots. After break
fast he went coolly to work and rolled
them together in a pile, in order TO burn
them. And imagine Osborne's bitterness
Of heart rs he passed by on his way to
the village that morning saw Wood thus
engaged, and knew how he had been
duped by him: ~
