What is q Breed !

DR.. B. D. Halsted answers the above ques
ion as follows in the american AqIicuk
turist:
When any kind of farm animals has ac-
les of gener ,tions, and they have become so
irmly fixed as to be transmitted to the off
spring, with great degree Of certaint' +,
such animals taken collectively constitute
breed. The time that it has taken to de-
velop and impress these breel characterls-
tics has been very long in some instances,
while other breeds have sprung up in few
enerations. The work of esta tablishing a
,od breed is a difficuH one, and demands
cveral sterling qualities in tho breeder. He
needs to have an ideal animal IN his mind
nward which all his efforts tend. In other
words he must have clear concep ion of
III the good points desired in his animals,
nd also must be keen to see any bad ones
hat are to h. eliminated He needs not
,nly to be able to see desirable qualities, but
he able TO de yelnp them, and this calls Tor
knowledge that is peculiar, and Judgment
a breeder may he carried away by beauty of
form or a charming color, to the neglect Of
deeper-seated and vastly more impor ant
Qualities. The breeder who hopes to pro-
4 tee an animal that is the hest for every-
hiug, has started on the wrong track, and
ill come out at the end, a most disappoiht-
1t man. The qualities that aid a morse in
Winning hurdle race are not in combina-
tion with those tn It make an animal Of the
greatest service befnre a heavy cart. The
breeder whose animals make the largest
amount of the best beet at three years is not
ne that will sweep the prize for dairy pro-
ducts. "Je sey Queru," with her leaiing
record of S5l ounds of choice bu ter will
not grace the shambles when dressed for
the market.
BY wise selection of an mails for some
particular points, it may be at the expense
Of others, with great care in getting offspring,
and the use OF abundant good food excellent
ipecimens of any kind Of stock may be pro-
duced. The breeder must remember that
ne of his fundamental principles is "ike
produces like" but as there is some varla-
to-, evea among well-bred animals, he
nust follow second rule in breeding. and
always select the best" In answer TO the
question put at the heading: A breed is an
'ssemblaGe of animals possessing certain
characters in common, which are different
rom those of any other groups, and able to
'etain those points when bred together.

their energy and ability, some making

From all parts of the country come
reports of high prices for butter, and
we suppose our market must follow,
though the condition of trade does
not warrant any further advance.
Up to yesterday there were no sales
of dairy lots at over 27 cents, and a
good portion of last weeks receipts
was disposed of at 26 cents, but
when 26 and % cents are paid in the
country, it is no more than reason
able to expect that the same lots will
bring here % to 80 cents. These
are unusually high figures for this
season, and it is doubtful if they can
be maintained, but from the eager
ness with which the butter was
sought after in the country it was ev-
ident that there are some parties who
have confidence in high values. At
Canton, N. Y, on Monday, 400 tubs
of creamery sold at ~ to 20 cents
pound, 2S1a cents being the leading
price. The very best creamery has
not brought in this market over %
cents, and some pretty good brands
were offered on Change yesterday at
27 cents. In the West we hear that
large quantities of creamery are en-
gagged ahead at "a to 25 cents, de-
l1vered there, and it is reported that
Armour, the great Chicago pork pack
er, has been purchasing large quaint
ties of butter to use later in the sea-
son in the manufacture of 'slard but
ter" A Boston dealer, now in the
West, writes that butter is unusually
scarce and that but little will come
this way on commission for several
weeks. The following dispatch from
Vermont shows how the market
stands there: 'sSt. Adams, June 10.
