EFFECT OF An Iy-AND-IN BREEDING.

As most Of our readers know, it has
been a popular belief that IN and in
breeding. as the intermixture of close
relationship is called, is an injury and
inherently abhorrent, as one may say,
10 both plants and animals. In plants it
has been the foundation of a new theory.
aided, though not founded, by the cele-
brated Charles Darwin, that plants re-
quire insects in fertilization in order that
they may not breed Sin and-in " but get
the aid of foreign pollen. In letter to
one of the editors of this paper Mr.. Oar
win says he is just preparing book for
the press especially to show the necessi-
ty of this cross fertilization, or, in other
words, the abrogation of the close rela-
tionship.
Frank Darwin, son of the well-known
naturalist of that name, has contributed
a paper on this subject to a British peri
odical, in which, like bis father, he deals
some heavy blows at our preconceived
popular notions. After a close study
and investigation of many thousand ca
ses of marriages of first cousins, and
other close relatives, as shown by the
British marriage registers, lie declares it
to be a mistake that such connections
cause a deterioration OF the human race,
and that in other animal forms, when
intelligently bred, the practice of breed
ing as close as son to mother, and BROTH
er to sister, is beneficial to a remarkable
extent. 1t is probably well known that
the great Hebrew family of the Roth
childs, the capitalists and bankers of
Europe, keep their wealth closely con-
centrated by marriages as near as first
cousins; certainly, iii their case, there is
no evidence of moral or physical decline,
or any other degeneration.
For the last twelve years the writer
has bred as close as possible from single
pair of Bolton Gray chickens. Tie
breed is now nearly twice the size it was
when the experiment was begun, and
shows extraordinary energy and fecun-
dity. Every attempt to Improve" this
strain from foreign blood has been un-
fortunate. If none had ever been at
tempted they would be far better than
they now are. Ia all breeding the pro-
cess should be intelligently conducted.
Always select the very best, regardless
of blood or relationship, or any such
motive. Breed for size, for neatness of
shape, for absence of useless parts and
offal, such as long, slender necks and
legs. Always have a motive or object
in view, and always keep the best to
breed from, selling off the inferior stock.
This subject is deserving of closer study
than it has had by intelligent agricultu-
rists.-IhOmGs NeehGn iR Weekly Press.

REMOVING THE ROUGH BARK FROM
TREES,

Thomas Meehan, editor OF the Gar
deIaers' Monthly, is man of positive
ideas, and not at all averse to having
them opposed, which only gives him an
opportunity to re state them more posi-
lively. Here is what he says on the sub.
iect heading this article:
1--WE have repeatedly called attention
in these pages to the great advantages of
assisting the tree to throw of its outer
bark. This is done by scraping, washing,
or Sitting up and down with knife, in
many instances. We have had to stand
great deal of ridicule from men whose
horticultural knowledge is confined to
the books Of the college library, but we
have recommended it from actual OBJ
servation of the good resulting there.

inconsistent with our understanding of
the processes ot plant life. To be sure
i: is not pleasant to have professor in
college, as one did few years ago, grave
iy tell his class that when the editor of
the Gardeners Monthly recommended
the Sitting of the bark of fruit trees, the
advice was on a par with the belief of
planting in the moon signs, and as likely
to be of service to the tree as the Sitting
of a mans leg would be 10 cure the
rheumatism. And then we have a
learned society in Massachusetts teach
ing that the rough bark of fruit trees is
designed by nature for the protection f
the stem from cold winds, and the Gar
deners' Monthly might -as well contend
that taking off the scales from small
pox patient would prevent the small pox,
as that clearing of bark scales would
make a tree healthy 1t IS singular how
prone people are TO argue in this smart
way. 1t makes little difference to us,
however. Of the two we should prefer

Dutch, as we have been told, we gladly

We know of nothing more seasonable
just now than this attention to the bark,
and which may be continued as oppor-
tunity offers, till spring time.
We know the risk we run of turning
the bile of our intelligent friends, but
we are quite sure that those who follow
our advice viii thank US for it: and this
will be a sufficient return for our forced
contribution to the small pox' and 'rheu-

FARMING IL 1875.

The experience of the past year is
probably di.cours ging to large majority
of farmers. There have been fair crops,
but excepting the staples of pork among
meats, and barley among grains, prices
have been very low, and for some crops
below the cost of production. a writer
IN the Utica Herald makes this fact un-
pleasantly prominent by his futile efforts
TO figure out profit on Smiths venture
in farming on 100 acre Oneida Co
farm, costing s11, 900, and run at an ex-
pense the past year, including interest
on land, stock and tools of g, 0sz. Sc,
while the receipts are made to foot up
the comfortable sum of 8. $50. 90, leav-
ing profit on paper of S767.14. But it
is disheartening to see how this result
has been obtained through prices, in
every case considerably higher than
farmers have been compelled to take.
Cheese is figured at 13c, which is above
the average price. Potatoes are figured
at 45c., and small ones at 20c., when it
is notorious that thousands of bushels of
full size and every way remarkable have
been sold at 1J poe. As the potatoes
are shown to have cost 23c. per bushel,
there is loss on this crop at this years
prices. Wheat is figured at 81 50 per
bushel, which is higher than the price
now. Hops are sold at 20c, while
growers are now only able to get 15c.
Corn was grown at 79c. and sold at S5c
per bushel, and oats actually figured a
loss at 45c. per bushel, while in large
portions of the country they are much
lower than that. In this figuring oat
straw is reckoned at $500 per acre, but
in many sections it is not worth 81. 90.
Strawberries report a profit of SAG. 65
from two acres, but it is done by selling
at ten cents per quart, while great deal
was sold last summer FOR s to &c. per
quart. ConcedIng that the writer's esti-
mate Of expenses is correct, there is an
absolute deficit after correcting prices of
produce to present values. Nothing can
be more clear to practical farmers than
that such scheme as is here made to
work beautifully on paper, would wholly
break down in practice, and there is lit
tie doubt that the objection of many
farmers to following the advice of news
paper writers is founded in the fact that
snch advice would certainly lead to loss
il not ruin. Only the strictest economy
will suffice to make both ends meet, in
such season as the present, and who
ever starts out on 100 acre farm with
the idea that the first year expenses
amounting TO s., 900 or over, in ordinary
farming, will be repaid is quite likely to
be disappointed. Large expenses can
safely be borne after experience has fully
shown how they can be repaid, but large
expenses by inexperienced farmers mean
l"sses and possibly ruin. Farming is
''safe" only in the hands of men who
thoroughly understand the business.
Others can lose money in farming as
surely and almost as rapidly as in man
ufacturing or trade. - Moore's Rural
NeD Yorker.

p00RYARDS.

No sufficient reason exists why the ru-
raj dooryard should not be one of the
most attractive places to be found any
where; but, judging from externals in
the country districts, the complaint that
the farmer lacks appreciation or cultiva-
ton of the aesthetic seems well founded.
And nowhere is this carelessness and
shiftlessness more apparent than in the
country dooryards.
The woodpile is near the kitchen door,
aid is most meager in winter. There is
no order; heaps of ashes, broken hoe
and axe handles. tinware and chips lie
aro Ind What disabled and faded tools
have not been abandoned in the fields
occupy various positions under trees and
in corners. They look as if they had
been tumbled where they lie in great
hurry, and had not been touched since
Some look very old, ponderous wheels
and hubs of old OK carts, pieces of har-
ness, leather and old iron may be found
in the debris. The fences surrounding
the yard are of no single and prevailing
pattern. 4 few sections are of pickets
with half the tops of and frequent
omissions for passage; then a piece of
board fence, with no two boards alike,
aud frequently saw-mill slabs. Then a
remnant of some formerly elegant fence
is set up to fill a gap. The gates-are in
most cases absent or off theiI hinges
b ar.,i leaning against the fence. Rank
burdocks and thistles grow up between
the spokes of old wheels and the teeth
of abandoned horse rakes. Piles of
boards used to patch fences, replace
ciapboards and repair the barns, lie
about in confusion.
Scores of dooryards similar to this may
be seen in a days ride through the
country. Speak TO the owner about it,
and be viii say he has not time TO at
tend to those things; he is waiting fer
rain% day TO ''straighten up" when he
can't work in the fields Now, it is no
wonder that the farmer has the reputa-
tion of being without taste or apprecia-
tion of the beautiful and tasteful, and
it is no wonder that the farmers sons

important pursuits and crowd the city
