A correspondent of the Building Neacs

than to concrete the surface of the ground be-
meath wood floors not only for this, but also
to prevent the growth of vegetable matter,
and to prevent, as well, damp rising. Ali
ground floors, whether wood, or paved, or
tiled, should have layor of concrete, three
inches to four inches thick, between them
and the soil. have been in the habit of doing
this for years, and all such houses have dry
floors and are vermin-prOof, as far as the lat
ter are concerned as rats cannot disturb we'll

of moderately-fne gravel, (broken flint or
gloss added to it is an improvement, mixed
with Portland cement, in the proportion of
one of cement to seven Of gravel. Not too
much water should be used but the cement
must be thoroughly mixed with gravel, and,

Do Thoroughbreds Revert.

Inc saying is common one that domesti-
Gated animals tend continually to revert to
the original or wild type, and do so revert if
demonstrating influences are withdrawn. At
the Hartford meeting of the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Science. W.
II. Brewer, Professor of Agriculture in Yale
Scientific School, called attention to this SUBJ
ject. He cites remarks made by an eminent
scientist at previous meeting, as follows !:
The hog has been greatly changed by do
mestication, and yet when left to himself he
soon returns to the original type. During
the late war some of the most improved
breeds were turned loose and left to shift for
themselves. Three year after, found them
possessing all the physical characters OF the
wild boar of Europe" He also stated that a
similar fact had been observed with Durham
cattle.
This statement and all similar ones. Prof.
Brewer sharply challenges. He refers to the
confidence which owners and breeders of
Thorough breds" have in the permanence of
acquired qualities. and says he has failed to
find a single instance of reversion, nor has he
found anyone who knows of its having taken
place. He suggests that the dogma (rever-
sion) is used as an agument to sustain a GER
tam sclentli1c hypothesis. In order to sscer-
tain the facts, Prof. Brewer has issued cir
ular containing the following inquiries, and
promises to give the results obtained at some
uture meeting of the associations.
Il. Have you personally ever known any
case where thoroughbred short horn-caltle,
because of climate, poor feed, neglect, or any
other cause, have become in character any
thing else than shorthorns-in other words,
where. from any cause, thoroughbred short
horns. have degenerated into animals of any
other breed or type?
2, Do YOU personally know of thorouph-
bred animals Of any other breeds so changing
or reverting?
3. Have you ever heard of such thing
taking place, in the experience of other breed
ers, SO well authenticated that you believe it
TO De a tact?
The professor concluded his circular with
the following remarks: "Ths grade animals
often revert that curious freaks and sports
often attend violent crossing, land also that
breeds deteriorate under bad Management or
bad conditions are well enough known, but
these facts do not affect the speci fc questions
asked where the blood is supposed to be kept
strictly pure"
