IMPROVE BREEDS.
Their Tendency to Degenerate

Their Tendency 10 Degenerate.
Is there a tendency to degenerate
among improved breeds' Cannot new
and improved qualities become eventu-
ally so established" that they are no
more liable to be lost than the original
characteristics We believe that with
proper breeding and management, there
is ne tendency to degeneration-but
that without them, that tendency is
manifest, and rapid in its effects. Sup
pose that the finest herd of Short-Horns
were put on scaHty or poor keep and
suffered to breed without proper dis
elimination. Does anybody suppose
that they would not speedily lose these
fine qualities and improved points 7
The English Long-Wools thus treated,
soon assimilate to what is termed "na-
tive" and we believe great portion of
modern natives are principally of Eng
lish blood. We could specify number
of Merino flocks, once improved, which
in less careful and skillful hands, have
visibly refrigerated towards the old I'M
improved type. The same is true of all
domestic animals. There is not truer
saying in the whole catalogue of aphor-
isms than the one,-"Nothing is granted
to mortals without great labor" and to
nothing does this aphorism apply better
than to breeding.
