Columbus, say a co'itcmiHirary, thero was no
cereal in America approaching iu nature tho
wheat plant. It wa-i not until l.VU that
wheat found its way into Mexico, nud then
only by chance. A sl.ivu of Cortex found a
few grains of wheat in a pauvl of rieo and
showed them to his m.uter, who ordered them
to lie planted. Thu result showed that wheat
would thrivo well on Mexican soil, nud to-day
ouu of tho liucat wheat valleys in tho world is
near tho Mexican capital. From Mexico tho
cerial found iu way to Pom, M.vria D'Ksco
bav, wifo of Don Diego do Cluuvea, carried a
few grams to Lima, which wcio phutcd, the
entiro product lwing used for seed for several
succosaiva crops. At Quito, in F.iupuilor, a
monk of tho order of St. Francis, by tho
ntiiiu of Fray lodosi lltxi, introduced tlio now
cereal: and it u said that the Jar which con

Inbreodlng and Crossinp;.
There is no ono iioint upon which practical
breeders as wcllns fcicntists nro inoro lier
fectly agreed than that the ultimate tendency
of breeding in-nnd-iii is injurious-that when
carried lo eiccss, it w ill always result in n
low of constitutional vigor In the produce;
that while its tendency mny bo in tho direc
tion of fineness of texture, lightness of bone,
smoothness, evenness, and polish, it is in
variably at tlio expenw of irtbustneis,
slroiitdh. vicor. and nower. On llio oilier
hand, scientists ni well ns piattieal hioedci',
with perhaps eepi.il iiniuimity, concur in the
belief that ft cross iu thu blood usually gives
incrurucil sizo and vigor to tho produce j nnd
that cruu-bi ceding, or tho pairing of nuiuiah
of distinct varieties usually results in iu
cre.ued fertility. Hut it is rather singular
that, whilo this rosult usually attends tho
pairing of varieties of the samu species, if
crtMs-urcciling bo carried to far ns to iinito
distinct species, although increased slzo nnd
vigor is still ntt.ilned, fertility is nlmost en
thcly lost. It is a singular fact, that n Ios
