Conditions of Breeding.

Granting that one could succeed in
securing a breed which combined all
that was required, it must then meet
the conditions to success. Hardness
is an important factor. A breed that
is capable of enduring one climate may
succumb in another. The pastures and
foods in certain sections may suit the
animal, and it might not thrive else
where. The Merino sheep is favorite
because it is active, hardy and can Craze
on hillsides and thrive in larger flOCks
than other breeds. Conform it to pro-
duce not only fine wool but heavy car
cases, and it loses its fitness tor the
hisides and will require more care.
Cross the fastest troiting stallion and
Clydesdale mare. The speed of the
trotter will have been sacrificed for
more size yet less than the size of the
Clydesdale has been secured. The
br, eds ar9 the results of years OF selec
ton. Any attempt to combine the
merits of two breeds destroys both,
No general purpose animal can be pro-
duced, nor is it required, One can
breed for speed, or tor strength in the
horse, for milk, butter or beef in cattle
and for mutton or wool in sheep, but
perfection can only be obtained in any
one objecr sought. As it is at present
the farmer can breed for what he wants,
and can adapt the animal to his eli
mate and farm. Take away the indi-
vidual characteristics OF his animals,
and let him breed for something that
is general-purpose and he will take a
backward step, secure nothing, and his
stock will degenerate into scrubs. The
fact that each breed has the Zone pre-
dominant point inherited through
years of careful selection and breeding,
is the safeguard agaiI st degeneracy and
great advance in the march of prog
ress and mprovement.-Troy Times.

FLoUR.-The market has been quiet and
the volume of demand slow. Winter

the market closes with firm tone.
LUMBER.-The market is quiet all along
tne line. business IN DOaruS Is OF moderate
proportions. HemlOck and pine boards are
moving better than other kinds. In short
lumber there is very little doing. Clap
boards and shingles are both quiet.
HAY AND STRAw.-The hay market shows
quiet demand, while under the effect of
more liberal receipts the tone is rather
easier. Choice hay is not in any supply,
however, and some fancy cars will exceed
quotations. Rye straw is firm; oat straw
is dull.
WooL.-Sales for the week, 3,241, i'll

ers of wool, however, feel encouraged to
hold rather than to sell at concessions.
The Australian clip is poor in quality, and
a smaller proportion than usual will be

jects. Statements of experience in
any department of farming, i'm dairy
ing, raising crops, breeding, feeding,
horse-raising, sheep husbandry, maple
sugar production, poultry. raising for
market or for eggs-in any of the man
ifold branches of this great industry,
in the household as well as the field,
the forest and the stable, will be very
welcome. Reports of this character, de.
scriptions of methods employed, dis
cussions, questions asked and answered,
cannot but result in benefit to the
farmer readers of the WATCHMAN. The
farmers of Washington county and
central Vermont are among the most
intelligent, thrifty and prosperous Of
their class. What they may have TO
say of matters pertaining to their call
ing will have q practical value and a
lively interest Again we urge them
to make the columns of the WATCHMAN

comments: The ration given is well

material with a nutritive ratio of l to

the right kind for an l 100 pound COW,

question which arises is, at the prices of
foods mentioned could an equally efficient
ration be compounded at less money
cost? II the quantity of ensilage would
allow it, re would suggest au increase
Of that with less hay, because the hay
at seventy cents per hundred is more
costly in proportion to It's value than
