From Paclfle Rural Frees-
Production of New Breeds by Crossing.
From what has been said, It will readily be
teen that there are many difficulties in the way
of producing hybrid or cross breeds which
shall be of permanent value. From the very
nature of the case it U nsnnlly the desire to
cross two forms which are very widely sepo
rated.
We first meet the difficulty of sterility, either
as an absolute sterility of the individuals con
cerned, or a sterility of the offspring; next we
encounter prepotency, and then reversion may
after all spell all our work. The first difficulty
must be gotten over by what may bo termed
a gradual approach; that is, if it is desired to
cross two forms which are found upon trial to
be sterile, it may be accomplished by amelioi
ating one or both of the forms. For example,
it is quite desirible that in the United States
we produce a croi s or hybrid between the cul
tivated apple and the wild crab apple. This
has not as yet been as successful as we wish it
to be, doubtless, btcauBe of the considerable
difference between the two forms. The proper
course then to pursue is to bring tbls wild form
into cultivation for a series of years, until it has
become somewhat modified, when no doubt
the desired crosses can be successfully made.
In some cases it may be done in this way:
First cross with some intermtdi.ite form and
then cross these intermediate hybrids by a care
ful use of prepotent individuals; the results of
theBo last crossings may be made much more
valuable and the danger of reversions be re
moved to a considerable extent.
Crosses by Grafting.
I cannot tike leave of this subject of crossing
without calling your Attention to another form
but' little understood as yet, that is, crossing
by grafting or budding, that is, by the union of
two individual plantB. It has long been known
that changes could be wrought upon a variety
by grafting it upon another, although nothing
definito has as yet been worked out regarding
it. We have a good many scattered observa
tions but as yet none which have been followed
to some definite result. I have known of some
hybrids being formed in this way which were
almost as well marked as if they had been made
by sexual crossing.
In one caBo which came under my notice a
Blackheart cherry w grafted upon a very
sour Morello dock and the result was that the
cherry was changed in taste so greatly as to
make it almost inedible, its size wbb reduced
and its appearance otherwise changed. Want
of time prevents a further discussion of this
subject, which as you can readily see is of very
considerable importance to all cultivators of
plants. Nearly allied to the preceding kind of
cross is that which is produced upon the stock
when grafted witb a clon from a different va
riety. Of this we know even let s than of the
preceding. But we do know that in many cases
the stock is considerably changed alter the
graft has beon set in. No doubt if we made
a proper use of this fact we could secure many
of those nicer shades of difference in -plants
which it is so difficult to get otherwise. Closely
allied to this is the influence of footus upon the
mother in animals. It is well known that if a
female gives birth to a hybrid, she herself has
become postered of some of the characters of
the hybrid. Hence it is the practice of our
best breeders never to allow the females of their
flocks andherds to cross with the malesof inferior
stock, as all of the subsequent offspring of such
crossed females will be to a slight extent hybrid
ized. Bud Variations.
In growing plants, espooially such as are un
der high cultivation, we cannot but observe
that more or less frequently parts of a plant will
vary from the form and appearance of tho re
mainder. Frequently this shows itself in the
absence or presence of color in the leaves of a
particular Bhoot or brnuou, or it may bo in the
different oolor of tho flowers on a branch; less
frequently it shows itself in a changed form for
leaf or flower, and less trequently still in dif
ferences in fruit To theso chauged forms, to
theso "sports," aB the gardener tonus them,
wo apply the term bud variations.
As I told you iu my last lecture, reversions
may tako place in this way; that is, a plant 1
may rovert in one 01 us urancnes, ty a varia
tion of iU buds, backward To its original form.
This mutter of bud variations is, however, of
mote interest to us when these changes are, eo
as we can se, not of tho nature of rovertionB,
merely, hut when they seem to produce uu
forms. If any of yon will take the trouble to
look up the history of any cf the geraniums w ith
gayly colortd leaveB, you will find that suoh va
rieties originated from "sports" which ap
peared upon plain leaved plants. Tbo two
forms now io deservedly popular, named by
florists, "Mrs. Pollook" and "Cloth of Gold'
originated in this way; tho former, as I know,
from a very plain variety, tho "Emporor,"
whioh has been remarkably proliflo in bud va
riations. A few years ago, while in chargo of
a greenhouse iu lb? East, this old variety, "Em
peror," showed its tendency to vary, in a' re
markable way. From near the root bud
pushed out which developed Into a shoot bear
ing leaves while throughout, with the exception
of a very faint pink zone in the central parts.
Now, this certainly was not a reversion but a
pure spoit or n bud variation. ,
l)y propagating such sports by slips, buds or
grafts, such varieties may bo, retained for a
considerable time, ilu' this .way many of our
varieties of flowers, and some of our fruits have
been obtaiued. In some oasoa they are quite
varieties.
Allied to the bud variotiea in plants, aro the
sports, ao called, in animal, although they dif
fer considerably in some important particulars.
I refer not to the moustrocities whioh now and
then oocur, and to which the torm "sports,"
has occasionally been applied, but tq.the par
fectly formed original -which differ remarkably
from tho other iudhiduiUof-nny particular va
riety. In many cases new breeds hao thus arisen,
whioh have been of gieat service) to man. In
foot it may be taid, (hat most of the animal
whtoh have txerted a strongintluenee utxm our
different breeds were sports. The famous

Agricultural Disasters in Great Britain.
The London Farmer, of July 19th, gives the
following discouraging account of the results
of the late devastating storms in Great Britain:
There is sad news of flooded fields and beaten
down grain from all parts of the country. Ter
ribly" disastrous floods have prevailed in wet
and wild Wales, and the West of England.
Houses and human beings, cattle and sheep,
JrnvA been swent awav bv the swollen rivus
, and streams in the counties of Monmouth and
Glamorgan. The loss to hay crops cut and
ready for carting has been immense. Whole
flocks of sheep, it is Baid, and several horses
and pigs have been washed down by the
swollen rivers of Taff and Ely. Thousands of
acres along the banks of the Frome and Severn
arete innndated. The sinhts we witnessed
! between the towns of Taunton and Bristol on
our return from the Royal Agricultural bo
ciety's show were sufficiently sad, but not so
lamentable in their character as have been ex
perienced ill some other districts. Cattle stand
ing knee-deep in water, sheep huddled up on
the few dry patohes in the flooded fields, and
hnyoccks showing their tops above the stagnant
water were common spectacles. Fortunately,
however, the greater part of the hay in the
southwest of England has been harvested in
good order. Tho corn crops along the line of the
Bristol and Exeter and Great Western rail
ways were in a sad plight beaten down,
twisted and turned about where the straw is
long, in the most fantastic shapes, that will se
verely try the skill of the farmer to harvest
aided by the best machines or men to cut down.
Heavy crops will never rise again, and a great
deal will be found severely damaged when
reaping time comes, wheat and barley espe
cially. The prospect is a sad one. The bulk of
corn appears to be good along the route, and
the more trying is the circumstance that it is in
such a state. Harvest labor will be consider
ably increased nnder such conditions, and the
cost of cutting wheat, barley and oats will this
year be a heavy expense compared with aver
age seasons. Beans and oats too have been
sadly knocked about. The only crops that
look well under the heavy rain are grass and
roots where these are not Bituated on low-lying
ground, and where the land is drained and has
an inclined surface. Berious complaints come
also from the north of England ana the Midland
counties, and even the dry Eastern districts
that suffered so much from drouth a short time
ago have now had more than enough of what
might very properly be called the prevailing
element, mere is a large quantity oi nay
spoiling in the Midland counties. The wheat
crops on good land have hitherto had a very
promising appearance, and the yield was ex
pected to be good. But all flattering thoughts
of n good harvest are now dissipated. We shall
probably hear muoh of the spread of potato dis
ease in a few days, as the fungus is much prev
alent in wet weather. Altogether, farm pros
pects are cloudy in more senses than one.
Whatever weather is in store for us for the next
month or so. there cannot be less than a Beri
ous loss in the crops eo knocked down and
about by the heavy rains. It is only to be
hoped that the damage done may be over-estimated,
bnt it cannot under any circumstances
but be serious and severely trying to the farm
ers of the country.
In Scotland, especially in the northern coun
ties, a great deal of damage has been done by
rain and wind, and news from Ireland is of a
most serious character. The corn crops have
suffered Beverely, and large quantities of hay
have been ruined. The potato crop also cannot
fail to bo seriously injured. In Kildaie, West
Meath, Limerick, and the Midland counties
many tracts of land are flooded, and the cut
hay has been either all washed away or com
pletely spoilt.
" Wait Till you Shave."
I once told a little bov. about three vears
old, tbaf I was going out to a new part of the
country, and after telling him what fine times
we could have felling trees and burning brush,
i asKea mm ii tie would go , along, much
pleased, he answered "yes." To try his pluck,
I then told him that if the wolves and bears
did oome around, tbey would not be likely to
hurt us while we were by the fires. He listened
Boberly to what I had to say about the bears
and.wolvcs; and when I asked bim the second
time whether he would eo. he replied with
gravity mixed with a smirk of mischief : -"I will
waitttu i snavo nrst. . . J
This was not only a cute answer, but it con
tained a cood idea. Some bovs wish to roam
in tbe oity or neighborhood, whether tholr .pa
rents know it or not. They are likely to run
into danger, or fall into bad habits. They had
better "wait 'till they shave.'V
Some boys scoff at the adticoof their parents
and friends, and wish to do as they please.
Such wo find everywhere. Thoy do not know
everything, and had better " wait 'till the;
shave."
Some boys talk big on important matters.
aud perhaps censure some ouo. or dispute with
some older persons. It would do them much
good to " alt 'till they shave."
About chewing and smoking tobacco, trad
ing, " takiug airs," and a great many other
things, boys had better "wait 'till they shave."
Do not you thiuk so, my little brother. Ex.

Largest Mining Field in the World
To report from. It embraces the largest variety
of mines and mining; methods of working; and
more numerous wonderful discoveries than any
other section of the globe. It is thebirth place
of mnny of tne
Latest and Best Inventions in Gold,
Silver and Labor Saving,
With brief, reliable, well chosen and prepared
editorials; varied and oondensed correspond
ence and selections; tables and statisistics ar
ranged for ready reference,

and unrivalled worth to its intelligent and in
dustrial Patrons at home and abroad. It is the
Leading Mining Journal of America,
And in its practical, interesting and substantial
make up, it is unrivalled by any mining or
mechanical journal in the world.
Home Manufactures and Home Inven

Will be constantly encouraged. Both help to
build up the brain and material wealth of the
country. They are kindred to our individual
enterDrise. Our interests are mutual with all
home artizans and producers. Where on tbe
face of the globe do inventors and Manufac
tdbebs either need or deskuve more encourage'
ment?

sel and scientific direction, enriching the rewards
of honest labor, we are annually saving and
adding
Millions of Dollars
To the products of our country. The Pbess
nas aireaay
A Large Circulation,
And is deserving of more universal patronage
from those whose interests it 'specially repre
sents. This sparsely populated portion of the
Union is a ditfioult one for publishers to pre
sent tne claim oi tcelr journal in to an wno
should subscribe. In these times of seemingly
cheap (but largely, trashy and worthless) jour
nalism, it is desirable and proper that those
who know the real merits of a faithful journal
should
Speak and Act in its Favor.
We shall not spare our efforts to make sound
and improved issues, maintaining constantly
the richts of all. and forwarding the material
and intellectual rights of our patrons, and of
our sturdy, progressive community.
Necessarily, scientific and mining publica
tions generally are costly and high priced, but
considering the size, character and location of
our publication, our rates are favorable for so
valuable a print.
We invite correspondence from all sections,
Subscriptiouj, payable in advance, $1 a year
Single copies, postpaid, 10 cents.

AYER'S AGUE CURE
roa ibk sracsx biuef or
Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever, Chill Fever, Re
mittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Billons Fever,
fee, and indeed all affections which ariBe from mala
rious, marsh or miasmatic poisons, has been widely
H-k used, during the last twenty-fire years
H B in the treatment of these distressing
H diseases, and with such unvarying
BT I success thatit has gained the reputa--
JS tion of being infallible. The shakes, or
0 chills, once broken by It, do not return,
until the disekse 1b contracted again. Tbls hag made
it an accepted remedy, and trusted specific, for the
Fever and Ague ot tho West, and the Chills and Fever
of tbe South.
Ayer"s Ague Cure eradicates the noxious poison from
the system, snd leaves tbe patient as well as before the
attack. It tboroughly.expels the disease, so that no
Liver Complaints, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Dysentery,
or Debility follow the cure. Indeed, where Disorders
of tbe Liver and Bowels have occurred from Miasmatic
Poison, it removes the cause of them and they disap
pear. Not only is it an effectual cure, but, if
taken occasionally by patients exposed to malaria, It
will expel the poison and protect them from an Attack.
Travelers and temporary residents of Fever and Ague
localities are thus enabled to defy disease. Tbe gen
eral Debility which Is bo apt to ensue from continued
exposure to malaria and miasm, has no speedier rem
edy. For Liver Complaints It la an excellent remedy.
