Breeding Colts.

In 2~,7, Field ona Farm, we
find the following in relation to
breeding colts, which is valuable
to those who breed for speed, or
those who wish dash Of good blood
in their horses, and also upon gen
eral principles to all who are breed
ing toward particular type of
excellence:
The blood Of aristocratic lineage
of the colt determines its future
value. The foundation of all ex.
ccllcnce may be said to lie in the
womb.
The superstructure is raised to
pre-eminencc by the skill Of the
breeder. Blood or breeding is the
choice material on hand, which can
be fashioned into form and beauty
by advcntitious aid, agreeable to
the laws Of nature. The Arabians,
so famed for their beautiful horses,
worship the purity and antiquity of
their breed. They attach the most
Importance to their gcnealogy, and
preserve their inheritance from the
mare. The breeding Of the mare
from COTTON to birth of the foal is
attended to by the highest digni-
taries of state, and is preserved in
their archives, so that the pedigree
of their colts can be traced back,
without a flaw in their cscutcheon,
for hundreds of years. The beauti-
full Arabian steed of the desert has
been celebrated for his speed, and
revered for his education and docili-
ty the wide world over.
The first thing TO be done in
breeding is to select suitable
stallion for the mare-one having
no weak points or hereditary dis
eases. They should correspond
with each other in blood, size, form
and general characteristics. "Like
produces like, or the likeness Of an
ancestor" Nature will not sub
NIT to sudden changes or great in
congruities in the form of parents.
When the mutual union hits, and
shows the good effects Of the cross
by the superiority Of the produce,
the law has been fulfilled, and the
breeder has attained the full mea-
sure ofsuccess. They will continue,
all other things being equal, to
breed the same kind.
Condition Of parents is the signal
of superiority in the stud. Health
and vigor are special agents in
hereditary law that descend to the
offspring, and produce their cor
responding effects. If the breeder.
fulfils the law, and combines the
best blood with the best performers,
he must, from the nature of things,
produce superior stock. He may
fail in selecting strains Of blood
that have inherited good temper, or
possess no hereditary dcfects-that
is, predisposition to fail in wind
or limb. He must judge Of the en-
DURANGO Of breed by their per-
Torrance. By their works they
must be judged. The correspond
ence in parents, in temper, form,
speed, blood, and bottom must be
learned from their in-breeding, or
kindred blood Of families remark
able for the qualities we desire to
breed. The gift of speed in the
sire will reproduce in greater
degree, if reinforced by the same
inheritance from The dam.
Horses that have been remarkable
for great speed and bottom have
almost uniformly inherited their
staunch enduring qualities from the
example. 1t is the same cause that
produces the effect. The history
of trotters is well worth invcstiga-
ton.

despatch Edwin NJ. Stanton wrote for him and
Dix signed it, gaining just K ory thereby.
The last appearance Of Gen. Dix in politics.
previous to the present era, was at the Andy
