The American Horse Breeder says:
The ne- $50 INST is fairly we'll represen-
t. BY Maine bred horses. most OF which
ssinsd th.is h,noYs in rscss which they
have won. O~ing to the long winters and
.hor. summers Of thss State, the trottsrs
bred and raised in Maine do not mature so
early IS some, but when thsy do come
to maturity they last l,nne, than those
raised by the dollhouse system"

A somewhst singular and what proved 10
be fatal accident occurred to c. a. Mel
sons Hne trotting mare Medors, at Rush
vile, Ind. Very little has been said about
1t but the fac.s are said to be IS
follows: Her owner was driving her very
m oderste exercise gait when she pulled up
lame and was taken to the stable. Con-
tinuin lame the mare was left at Rushville
until Mr.. Nelson's return from Grand
Rapids, when . surgical operation wss de-
termined upon to ascertain the nature Of
the Injury. ChloRoform was administered
and an incision made in the lower joint Of
the left bird leg, which revealed the bone
crushed and splintered in such condition
that death must ensue in time. She was
therefore put to death. She was sister in
blood to Nelson, 2 10, and valued by her
owner at $40 900.
This is the time CT year when farmers
and breeders should get rid Of their poor,
improbable stock. Ii is only the breeders
who have hilbert, made vigorous solicitors
of the best to keep. bu. Whist has some
thing to Gull out which would be 4 burden
to them 20 lorg as they kept il. We do
not advise many to by 'hi. rejected stock.
bu: a. there always seems to be . buyer
for every kind Of horse ffered for sale,
we say clean them ont, and then breed only
to the beet. In this way will the stock Of
New England be Improved. With the cuils
gone the remaining sock can be KEEP. bet
ter, aud the increased prices resfz'd for
these will more tran make up for the loss
sustained on the poorer ones, which after
all will bring more than they are worth.
II all The breeders in New England were
like f F. Webb OF Waterville, there would
be greater success ats int d in . shorter
time in the breeding Of the perfect trotter
than now promises to be. E. F. Webb is
the father Of Appleton Webb, who owns
Mountain Farm in Wsterville. and who has
several ne stations Of Rolfe, Nelson and
Knox blood. Mr.. Webb was watching the
horses in the twenty clsss where Early Bird
made them all tired. He spoke Of the
horses grea. courage and endurance. and
prophesied grea. success for him in Maine.
This is Il only right way to do. Speak
we'll OF your neighbor's horse. and encour-
age him by and BY the &c, of hi, and yours
will c,me together and you will then both
of you have q common interest in each
