Horse Breeding. At a late meeting of the Windsor Co. (Vt.) Farmers' Club, the subject before the Club being the raising and breeding of hor ses, Mr. Tucker, one of the members of the Club, said the best quality necessary was a good native constitution. The indications of this were strong chest and loins, good limbs, with good feet under them, and a proper nervous temperament. For this last quality, it should be seen that the eyes .re wide apart, giving room for the brain, and that they were wide open. The ears should be wide apart, without lopping. \\ hen these qualities were secured, as much sym metry aud beauty should be obtained with them as possible. One thing more ; it was necessary to get good sized animals. Brood mares should be fifteen to sixteen bands high,and weigh from one thousand to twelve hundred pounds. Vermont was losing money on her horses because they were too small. This was the fault of breeders and not of the race. When selecting stallions,fixed blood should L> ■ preferred to uncertain blood, though the latter might seem to be about as good.— But mixed blood should have the prefer ence over pure blood if the animal posses sing the former is evidently the best. Hor ses should never be selected wholly on ac eoun t of blood. Mr. Tucker advised his hearers not to ridicule lite idea of speed. There was a growing demand for fast horses, especially near cities, and the class of animals would continue to bring high prices. When he heard the gambling argument brought for ward as an objection, lie was reminded of the question put by Rev.Henry Ward Beech er, as to whether none but gamblers should possess fast horses. The speaker cautioned breeders never to use horses nearer than cousins,if they would avoid progeney of feeble constitutions and cripples. He would also caution tlietn against selling their best animals. The stock of the State he said would have been much better to-day, if the best brood mares had been retained City marcs should not be chosen to breed from, because they had trotted fast. Neither should old stallions, whose vitality was gone, be used. In se lecting brood inarms which had raised colts, rate should be taken to ascertain what stallions they had been coupled with, for a poor stallion left u permanent effect on the marc. The impressions and temper of the mare .should be kept good while breeding. A mare usually imparts more of her pecu liarities to her male offspring than to her female. A theory had been advanced that any desired sex could be secured in breed ing, the l'rofessor Agassiz had said that lie had no doubt that this could be done, and that a council of veterinary surgeons at Al torf has been investigating the subject with satisfactory results. The theory was that during the first half of the heat females were produced, and during the last half, males. But good judgment in breeding would amount to nothing without good feeding and training. When success in breed was attained, farmers should follow lite advice of the physician to his son, and consider whether the good result was gain ed by the treatment adopted, or in spite of it. Accumulation of Manures- It lias been well said that the manure heap is the Farmer's Bank. Iu densely pop ulated countries, necessity has enforced the observance of heavy manuring to make up for limitation of area. Even in China, they understand this matter far better than we do. There, every imaginable tiling that can be converted into manure is carefully collected. The fat pastures of Holland owe their extraordinary fertility to the same cause. f. unl in the populous districts of Europe never wears out. There are farms in England that have been under cultiva tion for eight hundred years, and have so increased in fertility that where three hun dred years ago they produced but eight bushels of wheat to the acre,they now yield forty. Even the sandy soils of Xorfolk, meagre as they were but a century ago, have been so fertilized that they now rank among the finest in the kingdom. Our fault has been the neglect of those fertiliz ing'elements which others have so profita bly utilized. We have sought to do by ex cessive labor, and that of the most slovenly kind, what others accomplish by careful til lage and high manuring We must set k to renovate where we have heretofore car ried oil'successive crops until the soil was reduced to the point of exhaustion. We must look, first of all, to lime and marl us the basis of all permanent improvement.— \Y e must furnish to the soil those phos phates which nearly all lands require that have been under cultivation for any great length of time ; and to this end, bones, re fuse feathers, hair of animals, woolen rags, hoofs and horns of cattle, and the rubbish of old houses, are all particularly worthy of being collected, broken up and reduced by fermentation and applied to the land. In for ming compost heaps, nothing that enters into the food of plants should be neglected. Taking one-third of barnyard manure as a starting point,all the rest of the ingredients of the heap may be drawn from extraneous sources. Assuming that the barnyard will supply thirty loads of horse . nd cow ma nure, this small quantity will suffice to fer ment and render soluble the materials of a compost heap, which will make a hundred loads—and the quality of the fertilizer thus formed will actually be richer than the barnyard manure alone ; because it will enhance all the constituents that the plant requires in order to stimulate to a vigorous growth. A mere glance at the variety of articles which may be formed into a com post heap will prove this readily. What can be richer in nitrogen, for instance, than the blood that may be had at slaughter houses, or the offal of animals ? What can be richer in phosphates than the articles al ready nnutioncd.and to which we may add, spoilt lisli of all kinds ? Besides these,there are wood ashes, the brine of salted meat, soap suds, pond, river and sea mud ; the scrapings of ditches, turf, woods-mould,sea weed, moss, old mortar, and even earth which Has been long under cover,inasmuch I as it invariably contains a proportion of ni-! tie. Here, then, we have a supply of mater ials.all of which contain enriching substan ces, and when fermented with the manure in the proportion of about one-third of the latter to two-thirds of the former,will prove of vast service to any soil to wliicn such a compost nray be applied. But even in the matter of barnyard ma nure we have heretofore been both slovenly and wasteful. We have exposed the heaps to washing rains and drying suns, audi but too frequently, we permit its volatile and liquid products—the very essence of tiie manure, if we may so C ; t || jj.—1 0 escape in to the atmosphere or soak into the soil We • iy nothing with respect to the un- Lea thine** 1 i homestead that is situated to the ImltfjiDala vicinity of these exhala tion Tfcj m tfe volatile products is At' . x . r Mot •fill 111 / '//■//./-/ The Preservation of Timber. Every farmer has always lamented the fact that a great part of his labor is neces sarily given to keeping his fences from di lapidation. It is this unprofitable work that makes agriculture a less lucrative pur suit than other occupations. - Posts and rails decay almost as fast as the profits of the farmer will permit their renewal. Ev erv five or six years a rail-fence must be thrown down and re-set, that the change of the crossing may make them last longer.— Yet there has never been a series of expe riments carefully and extensively made to determine the best modes of preserving tim ber by the time and manner of their cut ting, or by applications to protect posts and exposed timbers from decay. One of the most useful duties of our agricultural col leges will be iu making these experiments. There is great difficulty in determining the precise results of experiments made on the durability of timber. There is much difference iu individual trees standing near each other, and of the same kind. There is still greater difference in trees grown on poor ridges and in rich bottom lands. But still,experiments could determine the value of different modes of preparing the timber for special purposes. Every farmer knows how quickly the sap wood rots. Sap-wood is gradually changed to heart-wood by the force of pressure and of growth. The outer layers seems to press upon the interior ones, causing them to contract by lessening the size of the pores. These pores, too, are gradually closed by cell-growth. The wood is more solid, and less of air can penetrate them. The sap al most causes to circulate in theiu. But iu the sap-wood this circulation is undiminish ed. Iu the spring when the sap, then al most nothing but water, ascends,it is lluid ; but having been acted upon in the leaf, which absorbs carbonic acid, and exhales the water of the sap,it descends thicker,and is retained in the cells or pores, forming cell or wood growth. By stripping the bark in the spring the sap, in its ascent, is exhaled off flows from the pores, and no elaborated or descending sap is formed. Now, this deposit of the de scending sap appears to have a great affin ity for oxygen, which exis s in the air, and is that part of it which destroys ail things that are of vegetable or animal growth af ter death. Timber that is stripped of its bark, having but little of this downward sap,the wood seasons to complete hardness, and is not destrowed by the oxygen, be cause it is not taken up by an absorbent, such as the descending sap appears to be. It is well known that wood always under water never rots, because the air is exclu ded from it ; and posts rot most rapidly at the surface of the ground, where the air penetrates into the posts, arid is aided by moisture, which hastens decomposition. To fill up the pores of the wood with a sub stance autagonistical to the oxygen of the atmosphere, and which will not dissolve in water readily, must be preservative. A substance having these properties, and which will solidify or harden the wood it self, is best of all others. Pyroligneous tie id—an acid procured by the distillation of wood—gas tar, aud other substances are used, but we know of no series of experi ments having been made to determine their relative value,and of the manner and times of their application.— Agricultural Ilcpor I. Making a Poor Farm Rich. Home twenty-five or thirty years ago, I bought a farm containing about one hun dred and twenty acres of land. It had been managed badly for many years preceding the sale of it. Fence rows,where hundreds of loads of stone had been hauled off the adjacent fields, were from ten to twenty fact wide, and were filled with cedars,cher ry trees, alders, sassafras, briars, rotten rails, &c. Gutters were washed in various places, exposing a stony, barren soil, that looked like anything else than desirable farm land. An old farmer, on the day of sale, remarked, in reference to the gul'eys in the fields,that it mattered but little if all such land was washed away. The build ings were old and dilapidated and needed immediated ret dor them at ail comfortable for a manor beast. This prop erty, however had two redeeming traits ; it was well wooded and well watered. As was the farm so was the farmer— poor. To better this state of tilings was the aim of the writer, which could not be accom plished without much hard work. This had to be done, and lie had to do it. Wood had to be cut and hauled to the kiln ; lime to be burned, hauled and spread ; fence rows cleaned out, fences made, Ac. I put one thousand bushels of limo on two teu acre fields, in the fall, before possession was given. 'llieso fields were plowed in the following spring, and put in with corn, which yielded, when husked, not over fifty bushels of sound corn altogether. From one of them, however, I got one hundred bushels ol buckwheat, having sown some seed among the sparse and puny-looking stalks ol corn about the middle of July. Lite next season both fields were put in with oats,averaging forty bushels per acre. 1 sowed clovei and timothy on the oats,and rolled them all in togethei Tire season was favorable ; and seed took well. I mowed these fiel Is two summers iu succes sion, and had a very good crop of hay. I then put five hundred bushels of lime on one of the fields, and in the spring planted it with corn, which yielded ine four hun dred bushels,without theoflal. Yo manure whatever was used for the crop in addition to the lime, excepting the c .rn was plas tered in the hill. Oats, wheat, (manuied from the barnyard,) and two crops of grass followed. The ground was then limed again as before, and 1 gathered the ensuing sea son sixty bushels of corn per acre. The other fields on the farm have been worked a . this, with about the same results, excep ting the corn, which 1 think has not been equaled since. There were two acres of wheat on the place when I bought it, as all the manure made would not cover a greater extent than this ; alter si tlieioiit was taken out for a potato patch and garden. Two horses and three cows constituted about all the stock. Xow there are five horses and upwards of twenty head of cattle kept. The manure they make is sufficient for twenty acres of ground annually. By the increas ed productions of my farm, I have been en abled to pay my debts,erect new buildings, and to give my children a good sound edu cation. So much for lime ; without this fertilizer | 1 could not have lived. 1 have never sold more than three or lour loads of hay, nor bought more than three or four loads of manure Several times the wheat crop has yielded thirty bushels per acre. 1 paid per acre for my farm,and have refused $1 IU. I have written this to show that poor land may be made good with lime, and the , increased amount of manure obtained as ; the consequence of liberal application. - Two good horses and a yoke of oxen were . all the working stock used on this farm for several years, fanners will do well to remember that oxen will do as much work us horses, eat less grain, require less ex pensive harness, can be geared in half the j time, can be managed more safely by boys, and in fine are preferable in very" many i ways.
