Classification in Breeding.


Classification Of animals as to tribe. genus,
species. breed, variety. strain, cross hybrid and
mongrel is too little understood by many
intelligent breeders. A species is constant in
fulfilling all the conditions necessary to repro
duction alike in all general respects. A genus is
an assemblage of species possessing certain char
acters in common, by which they are distin-
guished from all others. and is subordinate to
tribe or sub-tribe. The genus equus consti-
tutes several species in domestication, including
the horse and ass, and the mule as hybrid be-
tween the two, itself infertie. Hence the
progeny between two species Of genus is
mule (hybrid) throughout animated nature and
plants.
AS to species. all CATTLE for instance, are vari-
cites of the genus hos, of the species taurus
When two varieties are SO long bred together as
to breed measurably constant as to characteris-
tics they may be called breed-that is a race
or progeny from the same parents or stock.
strain of stock Is q breed, or sub family Of
breed, in which certain points are intensified
and perpetuated through strong hereditary force,
certain strains of stock, strains of short
horns, thoroughbred horses, etc.
The word hybrid is often COMPOUNDED with
mongrel. A mongrel is an animal descended
from two or more parents themselves OK mixed
but inferior blood-in fact, a degenerate animal
The common mixed cattle of a country are mon
grels. Variation in domestic animals is con-
stantly going on. The unscientiic breeder seeks
not to keep breed within the distinct lines of
the ancestors. The scientific breeder does ard
through careful mating and as careful selection.

Training Peach Trees.

Correspondence Country Gentleman
/ have worked for number of years at the
problem of so training peach trees as to secure
frntage by protecting them during the winter,
and, perhaps, can offer some information on
the subject.
1t IS lmpracticahle to train peach tree hori-
zontally-the growth will not take that direction,
but will persist in sprouting upward, and from
as near the collar as possible. The most assidu-
Gus pinchng will not suffice to overcome this
stubborn refusal. If we wish to grow tree SO
that it can be laid down on the soil surface for
winter. we must compromise. and train it along
a rod or wire stretched at an angle of about 45o.
Some years ago, being in Paris, France, l
went out to see the famous peach gardens of
Montreuil. They are near large plaster quarries.
and the trees are trained against concrete walls,
mostly fan shape; but the newer paintings were
generally In diagonal cordons. that is, the young
trees are set about three feet apart, and the
stems are trained to lean all one way, at au
angle of 40. No branches are allowed to issue
in any direction excepting that, at the ends of
the wall, branch stems are allowed on the last
trees, in order to fill it. These stems are thus
about foot apart, and the foliage from them
about covers the wall.
Whenever an attempt is made to push out
strong shoot, pinch stops it as soon as four
leaves have formed. Trees SO trained soon be-
come amenable, and pinehiug is not very often
requisite. 1t must be given, however as soon
as needed for if young leaves are removed the
tree will resent the injury by fresh attempts to
break away, and there will be risk of the wood
not fully ripening. They may be laid down in
November, as soon the leaves fall, but should
not be covered until severe weather threatens,
with no snow to protect them. Next to snow,
evergreen brush is best.
find my trees always benefited by scalding
of the trunk and collar with boiling water. It
cleans the collar of boring insects. and it also
seems to make too much heat for the fungus of
the yellows. Trees with every symptom of that
fell disease have revived after the application.
Some wood ashes in the water may be useful,
and possibly sulphur; bat have never made any
measured experiments with them.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.

Fair December Trade in Progress-Mer-
chants Summarizing the Years Business
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 10
A summary of the trade of the week closing
to-day makes more satisfactory exhibit in most
departments than was expected, and is consd-
erably in excess of the volume the second week in
December, 1884; yet there is largo room for
improvement. In commenting on the business
situation, the Indianapolis Grocer of to-day saws:
'The present is quiet enough, but merchants are
so taken up with the endless routine of closing
books that the force Of q dull trade does not
strike them harshly. 1t amounts almost to a
phenomenon to see with what peculiar agreea-
bleness merchants accept what falls to them. be
it fragment or a feast. This phase of charac-
ter has grown rapidly with the growth of the
country and its marvellous development into a
superior intelligence We can recall the
time when quiet week of trade would produce
signs, msgivings. doubts and the usual rot which
comes of taking life as one takes dose of nasty
medicine. The same is sometimes heard even
now. but thanks to progressive world the words
of q declared pessimist are taken at large dis
count. The preparations for more extended
trade than was ever known in the history of In
dianapolis are quietly going forward, and the
business will be sought for elusive and held
