8he Mare fer n Farmer.

Every farmer who breeds horses
for his own use orthe market, should
at the outset possess himself of a
highly formed, powerful built, we'll
bred mare, standing at least fifteen
hands two inches high, and weighing
no less than 1900 bounds in an ordi-
nary condition. This mare he should
breed to a thorough bred horse, of
pure pedigree, good form, great
strength and depth of body, standing
on short powerful and sound limbs.
lie should at least be 1G hands high,
and not less than 1900 lbs. From the
union of these we may expect a fine
animal. The mare must be at least
reasonably bred, and ought to be lar
ger ifanything than the horse. Never
breed to a small or delicate thorough
bred. If you SOW weeds you cannot
expect to reap wheat. 1t may be
asked why the same result could not
be attained by breeding your fine
mare to one Of the many breeds of
draft horses. 1t migth suffice to say,
that experience shows it cannot, but
this experience rests on reason. The
thorough bred and draft horses are
of the same genus, but they ale en-
tlrely Of different origin. In form
and physical constitution, they are
widely different. The thorough bred
is the highest and most perfect type
Of the horse while the draft horse is
the very lowest. In physical com.
position and form, they differ as
widely as the Caucasian from the
Ethiopian. If you breed a superior
race with an inferior, the product
will not be similar to either. 1t will
degrade the superior and elevate the
grade of the inferior. Hence it is
called u mongrel or grade. If you
breed an inferior race with a lower
grade than the superior, the product
will be inferior to both, because the
tendency of all animals is a revert to
the origin that most strongly pre-
dominates in it. Therefore if YOU
breed your quarter or eight bred
mare to a coarse Norman Percheron,
Clydtsdale, Punch or Lincolnshire
stallion, the product must be the in.
ferior Of both, because you are not
clevating the standard, but degrading
! it.-FdTmer'S Home JOurRDl.

Improved Hog and Cheap Pork.

The following timely suggestions from
the Chicago Lire Stock J9al., WI
commend Themselves to all rlghI-IAilA-
inc farmers. Not only is 1t necessary
a improye the breed, but every clement
in tbe problem of how to produce the
| greatest amount of pork at the least pos
lihlo cost must be used. The profits OF
farming arise from small savings ron
n GREAT variety of products. II pork
cam be produced from I'M improved
| breed OF hogs ut tW0-thirds the cost 1t
can from the razor back species, it may
be sold for one-third less with the same
nroit. The time is decidedly propitious
Tor fine introduction Of better breeds
not only because there is more profit in
them, but because they may be bought
cheaper than heretofore. Let every
farmer procure mt least a pair OF thor
| ough-bred BGrkshires or Essex, aud we
will guarantee they will give satlslac-
tion ii procured from a reliable breeder
Advertisements in our columns will di-
rect the farmer where he may procure
an mmiXed breed:
1t is very evident that the low price
to which pork has fallen, has exercised
an unfayOrable influence upon the dc
mand for improved hogs for breeding
purposcs. Many farmers seem to think,
that because pork is low they cannot
afford to purchase improved stock FOR
breeding, and that uHtil there is moro
| money in pork they had better trust to
luck and common stock. \ greater
mistake could not possibly be made.

fed corn was sure to make n handsome

in pork is o matter which depends very
much upon the manner in which the
feeding is conducted. II a man pays

Our SOils-They Must Be Preserved.

To those who are continually Boosting
of the splendid civilization ofthc West
ern nation as compared with that of the
Eastern hemisphere, we commend the
following extract, taken from an ex-
change. If civilization and wealth 20
together, it is evident that that nation
will longer preserve its civilization that
pays the most attention to the preser-
walton of its soils, for upon the fertility
of the soil depends the successful cult
walton of all those arts which distin-
guish the civilized from the savage.
Let the soil be talked care of, the people
educated and all that is desirable will
follow:
The deterioration Of American soils
has for a number of years past been the
subject of warm discussion with agri-
culturists, and the conclusion has been
reached that unless a. different system
from that heretofore pursued is adopted,
the products of the cultivated acres of
the country will not more than be sufli-
cient to feed II W population. The
value of the manures appears to be but
imperfectly understood by American
farmers generally, the impression pre-
yailing in most ofthe better agricultural
districts, that it Is next to impossible to
exhaust their fertility.
The continually decreasing crops COM
pletly explode this opinion, and the eff
forts of scientific men are being encrget-
ically directed towards the dissemination
of more rational ideas. Were the same
system of cultivation pursued in the
United States as in China, we should be
able to supply all nations of the earth
with food. The Chinese according to
late writers, who have closely investiga-
ted their system of farming, are unqucs-
tionably the best agriculturists and
horticulturists in the world. Not a
particle of manure is allowed to 90 to
waste. Every portion, however minute,
is jealousy husbanded and applied to
the soil. The result is that the whole
country, so far from being worn out or
exhausted, is as fertile and productive
as it was in the days ofConfucius, thou
sands of years ago. American farmers
might well take lessons from the Celes-
tians in regard to the cultivation of the
earth.
