The Horse.
BREEDING.
Nothing can be more inter
esting or beneficial to farmers
than the task of raising good 1
horses, alihfu&rh it is attended I
with much trouble and expense.
Raising from old, mean or dis
eased horses is neither enter
taining m r profitable. You
should' therefore be narticnlar
in the choice of the dam and !
sire, and attend to their blood, ,
Oirrn n rrr nrrl fnn niiftpo fhfttr i
J tic auu luc Vvi oo iuc v
would make. This noble ani
mal has too treat a share in the
labors necessary to our exist
ence to be neglected. Were
I to choose a m:ire to breed
from, she should not be under
four, nor exceed sixteen years
of age, (although some mares
have got excellent colts even
after that old) , aud not less than
liftecn and a half hands high.
The horse should be sixteen
hands high at least, young, and
healthy, and of good blood.
Bv breeding from such horses
you rv.y expect something
valuable, whilst from some
breeds you never get but a cay
use pony
Early colts are, in my opinion,
the mot profitable, because the
colt will by this moans have
the advantage of two summers
to two winters, while young.
Although a horse is unfit for
hard usage before he is five years
old, yet he should be broken at
the ag of two and a half or
three years old.
Gaining Recognition.
New England manufactures
are beginning to understand
the excellence of Rastern Ore
gon i'H Washington production.--
A successful capitalist
h. is- iaged in this business
at the ivis writing to an
Eastern ' ivgon wool-grower,
says.4' I have lately seen sever
al lots of wool grown in East
ern Oreo;, n, very uniform in
' i
grade, sound and of good length ;
of staple, showing the sheep to
have had constant good feed
You must be getting Merino
blood well established to be
able to show such uniformity,
such wool is what we want for
our warp wool." Another let
ter from a party equally as
reliable, who had been solicited
to open direct communications
with our wool market, says: 'If
we were commission graders,
it would do. We like your
lengtii ot staple, and when
sound ir is verv desirable as
warp wool, but much of the
wool hailing from there, as it
leave-? the shearing board, i a
mixture of all sorts, a coarse
listing, Cotswold or Mexican
fleece suitable for home blank
ets, along side a go d Meri'io
wool; we cannot purchase with
any certainty as to what may
be expected. Wool from sheep,
the first cross between coarse
and line, is very undesirable for
0'ir work, and we avoid such if
possible, therefore rather look
for our wool in localities where
not only the fleece will be rea
sonably uniform, but the whole
dip shows a uniform character."
80. -ra lually, the capabilities
of jut distant conn try are being
brought befo e the capital of
the East, which will certainly
result in a nearer acquaintance
nd the b rth of communica
tions promotive of great good.
