The Horse.

Horse-breeders are doubtless all on the

alert at this season; and a very anxious | time it is.

A skilful breeder does not take long to determine which horse will suit this mare; While another stallion he fancies It is always unadvisable to breed from an un- sound stallion ; and worse than useless to send an old mare to stud that is deficient in action, or is naturally deformed. Brood mares which will not drive, or from accident, cannot be ridden, should, ajl other things being -equal, prove very useful at stud. There is little need, however, in propagat- ing weeds, as hereditary diseases, and al] manner of unsoundness, is sure to appear in the progeny. Screws have to be fed, and when brought to market, won't sell at a price torepay keep. Verb. sap.

Glanders appear to be causing great nn-| easiness in some districts of the United States. There is, perhaps, no disease that horse-fl: sh is heir to that is of a more deadly nature, or more to be dreaded. A case of glanders recently came under the notice of the editor of an American exchange among some valuable horses in New York, which were owned bya large brewery. One of the best veterinary surgecns in America was called. He immediately ordered that those horses which he was fully satisfied had the glanders should be killed immediately. In the course of afew days he had despatch- ' ed seven, whose combined value was £700. The Detroit City Railroad Company shot a

| dozen horses affected with the same malady, | that ey!

and we believe a Bill is now before the’ Michigan Legislature, which specially pro- vides that ‘‘horses or other animals atiected | with glanders shall be destroyed, on the fact being established that they are so af- fected by the testimony of a qualified vet- erinarian.”” Similar laws are already in force in several States, and should be in all.

It is well knowa in England that the dis-|

A case is mentioned by our;

contemporary, The Rural New Yorker, of

The son of Mr. Conway of Conway Farm,

| Whiteside County, Illinois, died in March|¢@tnival of mad.

and the father was next attacked, and died a month afterwards. The State Board of Health ordered that the diseased animals should be killed, the premises thoroughly disinfected, and that any persons found afflicted with the malady should be isolat- ed under supervision of a medical attend- ant. In view of the uselessness of all sorts of treatment, our contemporary declares with some force the suppression of the dis- ease, as well as farcy, should be provided for in every State of the Union by the prompt slaughter of all infected’animals as soon as the presence of the disease has been determined by a competent veterinarian. The number of horses in the United States in 1879 was 10,357,488. This certainly re- presents an interest important enough to be entitled to all the protection that can be accorded by legislation.

~~.

Selecting Stock for Beef.

The model which the thoughtful and wise breeder for beef (says Prof. G. E. Morrow) sets before himself is a sym metrical animal of good size, vigorous con- stitution, excellent digestive and assimil- ating power, quiet disposition, early ma- turity; giving the largest attainable per- centage of meat of a high quality, the offal and comparative'y valueless parts being reduced to the smallest practical percentage. He sees in his mind’s eye—although he may fail to find his ideal in material form— an animal with long, broad, deep, well rounded body, top and bottom lines nearly straight; the bony structure everywhere covered with a thick coating of firm, yet yielding flesh, protected by a soft skin of medium thickness, this carrying an abund- ant coat of soft, bright, waving hair; the carcase suppoited on short legs, the} strength of the bones of which coms) from firmness of texture rather than from

reat size; the head short, bjoad at the eyes—the fulness, mildness, and beauty of which bring to his mind the phrase ‘‘ ox- eyed Juno”—the muzzle fine ; the head joined toa short neck, fine at throat, but gradually swelling until itis lost in the broad, smooth shoulders. Whether this ideal of his faucy have long or short, thick or slender, or no horns will depend upon his preference for this or that breed, and is a matter of minor importance. ‘This animal he will think of as possessing per- fect health and vigor; a quiet, yet reason- ably active disposition; the best of appetites and digestion, and a ready disposition to carry and accumulate flesh at any age, be- coming well matured, at the latest, before it is three years old.

Bearing in mind the rule that great ex- cellence in one point is usually accompanied by comparative weakness in some other, and that this ideal animal must needs be modified by its environment—by the clim- ate, food and protection—the breeder will endeavor t« select for his breeding stock animals which as nearly approach the ideal as the conditions of life under which he must place them make advisable. In a vig- orous climate, subject to severe storms, hardiness—the ability to withstand cold, drought, excess of rain or snow—must be counted the first requisite, even though it be secured at the sacrifice of early maturity. When the pasturage is sparse, activity is essential, even though the legs increase in length and muscle be develoyed rather than fat.

We define a breed as a collection of ani- mals of common origin, possessing distinc- tive characteristics, which they uniformly transmit to their offspring. It will be wise, then, to select animals which are well bred, the test and proof being that they not only possess the qualities and adaptation desired, but also inherit these from a line of ances- tors possessing them.

Usually ‘‘like produces like,” ‘‘ the ofispring resembles the parent,” but ex; eri-

;

ancester may give character to the stock we rear. The best possible security, slcrt of the actual test, that an animal will re- produce its characteristics in its offspring is that these characteristics are known to have belonged to along line of ancestors. In- dividual merit and adaptation to our needs should be the first and most important points in oursekction. Next, the char- acter of the ancestors should be considered. As we go back each generation becomes less and less important. We need trouble cwrselves very litile in the endeavor to de- termine the character of any one of the 1,024 different animals in the tenth genera- tion back, if we know that the bnll or cow which we think of buying is good in itself, can see that its parents are equally good, and have creditable testimony that their ancestors, for even three or four genera-

_ tions, were of like character.

** Whisperers.”’

Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, in a recent ser- mon on ‘‘ Whisperers,” says :—You take the best man that ever lived, and put a detec- tive on his track for ten years, watching where he goes and when he comes, and with a determination to misconstrue every- thing and to think he goes here for a bad purpose, and there for a bad purpose, with that determination of destroying him, at

,the end of the ten years he will be held

despicable in the sight of a great many people. If it is an outrageous thing to des- poil a man’s character, how much worse is it to damage a woman’s reputation. Yet goes from century to century, and it is all done by whisperevs. A suspicion is started. The next whisperer who gets hold of it states the suspicion as a proven fact, and many a good woman, as honorable as your wife or your mother, has been whispered out of all kindly associations, and whispered into the grave. Some peo- ple say there is no hell ; but if there be no hell for such a despoiler of womanly char-

| ease is very infectious and easily communi-' 4¢ter, it is high time that some philanthro- | cableto men.

pist built one! Bat there is such a place established, and what a time they will have

| two deaths from this insidious. complaint. | When all the whisperers get down there to-

gether reheersing things! Everlasting Were it not for the un- confortable surroundings, you might sup- pose they would be glad to get there. In that region where they are all bad, what oppertunities for exploration by those whisperers. On earth, to despoil their neighbors, sometimes they had io lie about them, but down there they can say the worst things possible about their neighbors, and tell the truth. Jubilee of whispers, grand gala day of backbiters, semi-heaven of scandal-mongers stopping their gabble about their diabolical neighbors only lon enough to go up to the iron gate and a some new,comer from the earth, ‘What is the last gossip in Brooklyn ? ”

Her Royat HighNess rue Princess I ovrsr’ recent visii to Ottawa hospitals has been attended with a very pleasing incident. While going through the wards of the Catho-

jlic hospital, on Water street, Her Keyal

Highness by her pleasant and sympathetic conversations with the poor inmates made light their languishing spirits. The Princess was compassionately moved by the distressing tale related by one of the inmates, a Mrs, Connors, on whrse wan countenance disease was plainly stamped. In answer to the Prin- cess the woman said she had three young children about whose welfares she was in great agony. What she regretted was that she was not able to care for them. When asked if her husband was living the woman nesitatirgly replied. that he was at present serving a term fer larceny in the Kingston penitentiary. The Princess greatly affected by the sad case kindly coun- selled the woman and implored her to do all in her power when she would recover to in- fluence ber husband to mend his erring ways and be in future a law-abiding citizen, The sick woman’s heavy eyes gleamed with. de- light when the Princess further assured her that she would intercede on his behalf and have him liberateé, Her Royal Highness evidently lost no time in the fulfillment of her promise, as Hugh Connors was back in the city a free man a few days afterwards. _-_-

A TEERIELE and fata accident happened on the Canadian Pacific Railway, between Hoch- elaga and the depot in Montreal, on the 18th instant. A freight train was backing upf at the usual rate of three miles per hour, with the conductor ringing a bell as a warning on the top of a car; when close to Molson’s Brew- ery the train came in collision with a horse and wagon crossirg the line, killing two men, —Charbonnean, the driver of the wagon, and St. Onge, who was stealing a ride in the front car, Jhe horse wasalso killed and quite a number of the cars telescoped. The deceased were fearfully mutilated, one having his head severed completely from his body, and both beiwg so dishigured as to be unrecognizable. The railway managers claim that all the usual precautions were taken according to the rules laid down to prevent accidents. The facts will all come out, however, at the inquest, which will soon take place. ~~ _>

Tur evidence of lingering superstitions is constantly cropping up. At the hospital of Buda-Pesth not long ago a young woman was relieved by a surgical operation of a pin which she said she had swallowed by accident. The surgeon did not believe the story, and at last elicted the statement that the patient had swa!lowed three pins, om the advice of a gypsy, as an infallible means of winning the affections of a young man, whom she had loved without return. Perhaps the young man on whom, so to speak, she pinned her affections, will be won over by the spectacle of so much de- votion.

Ir is now stated that Hon. Adams ©. Archibald, Governor of Nova Scotia, and Hon. D. L. MePherson, President of the Senate of Canada, will be invested with the order of K. Cc. M. G. on the Queen’s birthday, at Ottawa, His Excellency the Governor-General acting for Her Majesty.
