The power ot animals to propagate their own likeness ia hereditary, and transmitted from one generation to another. The princi pie npon which the theory of generation is f oun Ji d reaches from the inception of the colt in embryo to the delivery. The breeder, to be successful, must investigate causes that produce certain changes after the union be tween the pexes.as well as the effect resalting from the influence of each parent over its offspring. The sire and dam have their respective shares in propagatine the form and substance of their issue. They co-operate to gether In generating the vital aud physical powers of their produce; and the? breeder must understand the influence of each partner, in order to mate progenitors so as to make congenial hits. The food of the embryo is furnished entirely by the mother. It is held by sorm physiologists that the health and robust constitution of tin colt will depend more upon the physical power and health of the dam at the time of conception than upon the condition of the sire. But this maternal influence is modified by other causes, such as long-line breeding, coining down from an un broken chain of powerful projenitors, and , possessing the prepotent faculty of entailing their breeding on an illustrious line of succes sors in blood. The influence of sire or dam over their colts will depend very much upon their bloood, and the constitutional superior ity of one over the other. The strongest and best-bred animal will have the predominating influence over their produce. The more pow erful the inheritance, and the stronger the in breeding avoiding incest the more certain the inheritance will bo entailed, unaltered, on their colts. Tne Early Short-horns as Milkers. The passion for natirjg meat has so grown upon the people of all countries that the Short-horn, being the most generally raised for the purpose named, because of early be coming popular and numerous, the milk giv ing has little by little yielded to the flesh making tendency. Tho notable improvers, viz., the Colliues and Ir. Bates, found the Short-horns with a reputation far ahead of any other breed of cattle, no matter what pur pose they were bred for. Lirge milkers were then, and for many years after, common to all herds of Short-horns. Thus Mr. C. Colling refers to a cow in his herd that gave 26 quarts at a milking. Mr. Bates reported a cow in the herd of a neighbor that gave 18J quarts regularly twice a diy, while on grass. The next largest quantity ho had any krowledge of was 18 quarts twice a day, yielded by a -cow belonging to Mr. Alexander Hall. Tht cow Barforth, owned by Mr. Waistell, gave 18 quarts of milk dally, and made 16 pounds of butter a week. Mr. Bates owned no cow himself that gave more than 14 quarts twioa a day. His first Duchess, by Daisy bull gave that quantity, and each quart, when churned separately, yielded li ounces, or 21 ounces each milking. Bright Eyes, the dam of Marske, gave 15 quarts of milk at each milking. Daisy cow, by Favorite, gave 16 quarts at a milking, on a trial with a cow of Mr. Appleton's, the latter giving 15J quarts, The Matchem cow, the dam of Oxford Premi um cow, gave 12 quarts at a milking, after calving, on grass alone. From these items of history it will be ob served that the early breeders paid especial attention to the milking properties, and most Short-horns at the present day have some of the blood of the identical cows referred to. National Live-Stock Journal. Cattle Disease In New York. An alarming plague has broken out among a herd of fat cattle in a pasture of ninety-five acres, near Weedsport, Cayuga county, N. Y, Tenof theanimals have died and all but four are affected. The pasture was controlled by two butchers, who kept their fat cattle in it, Among the number was a huge ox, which cost $190; and which was to have been slaughtered for the Auburnvale camp-meeting. The ox was in good condition on Saturday, but died in two days. The animal is first seized with dizziness, staggers around for a few hours, then lies down, froths at the mouth, and dies. Only one of the animals attacked has sur vived. There were no Texan cattle in the pasture, but all the dead animals were State cattle. There were some Texan cattle in the pasture a few weeks ago. Texas fever, as a general rule is only communicated to cattle who have followed after, or grazed where diseased cattle have been, and is not communi cated by cattle simply coming in contact with those which are diseased. Under the statute it is made the duty of the Governor to issue orders and regulations for quarantine, employ ing therefore as many agents as he may deem necessary. The Governor has been informed of the situation. The Texas cattle fever is reported as pre vailing to an alarming extent at Steubenville, 0., and in the neighboring counties in Ohio and West Virginia. Among the cattle re cently brcueht from the Southwest a large portion of the animals have died. Renting out Earns. In sheep husbandry, when the breeder gets possession of a ram that is a superior stock zetter. he nlarea ereat valne on him. As soon i aa he is proved bis stock brings largely in creased prices. They find a ready market and prove a source of revenue. It is related of some celebrated English breeders of sheep that in their early experience they rented out f their rams for two or three dollars for the season. After they had mcdelled them over (."- into their own approved typo and raised them j up to a standard to meet the public approval, tbey could rent out meir best rams for sev eral thousand dollars annually, and there was great competition to get them at that. fcklnny ilea.

The Angora Ooat Angora goats cannot bear confinement; indeed a wide range is an essential condition to their success. It must be borne in mind that they aro omnivorous, so far as vegetable growth is concerned, and in flocks must e carefully herded, to prevent depredations upon cultivated grounds. For this reason island localities are especially suited to this industry. Already some of the islands near the Pacific Coast have been occupied by goats, and e have no doubt thro are many islands on the Atlantic Coast that may bo profitably occupied as goat pastures. It is a common impression that the Angora and the Cashmere goat is the same. This is a mistake. The animal which furnishes the material for the costly shawls of Cashmere is found upon tho southern slopo of the Himalaya Mountains, near tho regions of per petual snow. Whilo the long fleece, or "Mohair," is tho product for winch the Angora goat is valued, that of the Cashmere goat is a very fine, downy substance, or "shawl wool," found beneath its thick, coarse hair, and known as "Pashum." This is combed out in tho spring, and in tho coun try where it is produced is, when cleaned, worth from $1 50 to $2 per pound. But very few attempts have been made to introduce the true Cashmere goat into this country. A pair was imported in 184S. but the male soon died, and it is probable that they can only be buccessfully kept in very elevated mountain localities. Even could they bo acclimatized, there is as yet no demand for their product, which, in the nativo country of the animals, is only worked up by a tedious process rf hand labor, which conld not be introduced in this country. It is probable that when the Angora goat becomes better known, its whole value will not be found in its fleece. Its flesh is said to be of excellent quality; indeed, those who have eaten it in California say that it is preferable to mutton or venison. There is a aencral Dreiudice azainst tho flesh of tho goat which is entirely unfounded. The nesn ot a kid is quite as acceptable as mac of a lamb. Hair Balls In the Stomach. It is quito common to find various foreign substances in the stomach of cattle afterdeath, especially "hair balls.'' Cases are on reoord where it is reported that over a dozen ball have been found in the stomach of slaughtered cattle, the animal before appearing in perfect health. In calves hair balls are liable to pro. dtice serious derangement of the digestive functions, and it is more than probable that aa attack of tympanitis, tho result of a dc ranged stomach, was tho cause of tho sudden death of the calf. Some of our readers may have some curiosity to knew how these hair balls get into the stomach, which can easily be explained. It is a well known fact that a majority of our domestic animals throw off their heavy winter coat every spring, by a process called moulting. This moulting, or shedding of the coat, is attended with consid erable irritation of the skin, which causes the cows to scratch themselves in various ways, most frequently by licking themselves, and in this way more or less of the hair adheres to the tongue and is carried into the Btomach, where it becomes agglutinated by the mucous secretioD. Stock Interests In Texas. Five years since, when I came upon the confines of the Pan Handle, I found men whose stocks and ranches co.ild have been purchased at from $2,000 to S5.000. These same parties are now owners of ranches and herds that can be cashed at from $SO,000 to $200,000. You ask what has brought about the change. The answer is to be found in the increase of stock, the enhanced value of both ranches and cattle. Then stocks of breeding cattle could be had at from $5 to $7 per head, and ranches at from $1,000 to $3,000 each. Now the former are worth from $20 to $25 pr head, and the latter from $15,C0O to S4",000. Then thero was no Bystem, method or order in the business; now associations have been formed, co-operation exists, the rights of all are protected, the loss from straying and drifting, from theft and mavericking, which in by-gone years frequently broke up many owners, now is scarcely felt. Fine Stock. Henry Van Asselt, of Duwamish River, brought twelve head of his blooded hora-s to town yesterday for exhibition, in connection with the King Couaty Fair, although no in ducements were offered for stock exhibitions, Hundreds of persons gathered around the horses, and admired their fine qualities Among the lot were a team of cream-colored colts, one two and one three years old, a three-year-old stallion, two-year-old filly, one fine yearling colt, several sucking colts and several brood mares. Iowa auk Worms. We see that Burlinrton, Iowa, 1 dies are moving in the silk business Some 4,000 eggs were secured last spring and distributed among a coterie of ladies, and the effort is now said by the Haicleye to be complete. Our contemporary found at the houses visited the ladies enthusiastic, and the worms, large and small, workirg away at Osaze orange, as though determined to make the best cocoons possible for their hosts. This foal the worms have eaten with avid ity and on it thriven remarkab'y, being well and perfectly developed, large in size and act ive in all stages of their growth. But a few have been at all ailing, and none have died. When the eggs were fnrniihed a thousand only were desired, but Mrs. Button in vending them stid she sent many more, because, this being the first experimeut, doubtlesAhe ladies would lose half their crop; but not one per cent, of the eggs were lost The cocoons which have resulted from the experiment, many of them being low completed, are first class specimens.

The discusisons as to the most favorable timo for tree planting, as a general thing, fa vor the autumn, but notwithstanding this, by far. the grcat-r number wait until spring. Thero are many points in favor of autumu planting in nil the milder u-tsof the country. In tho far northern localities, where winter sets iu abruptly, spring planting is to be pre ferred. But, ns a g neral thing, our autumn is prolonged, the trai.situm trom summer to winter is very gradual, and we haw then the most delightful weather of the whole year. At this time the soil is in the best condition for working, not haviug lost its genial warmth; not only can tho work bo done with greater comfort and more rapidity, but the soil is in the best condition to receivo the rnots. A tree is not a mere dead stick, to be set in the ground as if it were a post; it is still alive, though its vitality is not 'manifest; after the roots aro placed in the stil, a certain growth takes place before winter. Tho wounds on the roots, made in t iking up the tree, commence to repair damages, and often new fibres aro formed, to ba ready for activo work by heal ing o,ver in the coming spring. In nutumn, there is not in tho nurseries so much of a rush of woik as in spring, besid b the stock has not been reduced by many sale', and the trees are likely to be better. Ono objection to purchas ing the trees in fall made by some, is that the nurseryman, in order to fill his orders, must strip off tho foliage. This has but little we'ght, if the nurseyman understands h's business. In our mild autumns, when the leaves have done their work and have fully ripened for caves ripen as well as fruit they will often remain attached to the tree for weeks, or until a scvero storm shakes them off. When the leaves in this stato, thoy re quire very little force to separate them from tho branches, and the stripping, if done at this time, cannot injure the tree. Tho thor ough planting of a tree requires that tho soil idiould be in immediate, close contact with all the root" j no two roots should touch one another, but every root and rootfibro must be surrounded with earth, and no air spaces left among them. This cannot be done with a hoe or with the foot, but requires the hands to work tho soil in among tho small roots. At this time of the year the soil is in that genial coi dition that one does not hesitate to han lie it and psrform the work of placing the roots with thoroughness. Chrysanthemums for the Window. It seems stranee the Chrysanthemum re cedes comparatively so little attention in this country. In England there are numerous so cieties devoted to the promotion of its culture, and the competition to secure the prizes is active. The plant is occasionally seen in our grrdens, but not so frequently as it should be, considering its great variety of brilliant colors and its flowerin? amonc the very last things of the season. Indeed they continue to bloom so lato, that a severe frost is apt to cut them down before their season of beauty is over. For those who wish the best results from the plaiats in house cultur, theyshsuld be started for that pnrpose and cultivated 'n pots from tne outset. The English, with their prize plants, not only do this, and take great care in cultivation and pruning, but in order to get the finest and largest flowers, remove all but two or three buds from each stem. Those who are so fortunate as to have Chrysanthf. mums in the garden, can prepare a part of them for blooming in the window. Thoy make a brilliant show, and the time of blooming may be greatly prolonged. The plants may be taken up and pitted as soon ns the bud aro fairly formed; if the clumps are large and mu"h crowded, thin out the weaker tema. giving the plants a rich soil. They will wilt and look rather sorrv at first, but by plncing mem in me snaun a lew dnvn, they win soon recover. Should thev be attacked hv a blackish plant-louse, as they often are, the free uso of tobaeco-water will clear them. When tho plants hnvo recovered, set tho pots where they will be sheltered from heavy winds, and give proper attention to watering. They need not ba taken in until there is danger of severe frost, and should then be in room, tho windons of which can be opened on mild days. By avoi ine close confinement and too much heat, tho bloom may be rrotly retarded and also prolonged. After the flawerine is over. cut the stems completely awav, nnd put the lu,o iu mi; ucinr, iiKiui; uum ui,il lllQ ruois do not get bo excessively dry during winter aa to Kin tnem. Fine Beedlinsr Potatoes. Soms timo last fall a friend of t.hn Fatiuvti Mr. Haines, of Douglas county, tent us a few potatoes that he had rriuinated h melf. ntnnl. ing the seed-balls in hopes of petting some goou new varieties.

Celery is one of the plants which mak. a rapid growth in this month of cn,l mVhtji and warm days. The plants that have been growing in their own way will need to have tneir outer leaves straightened up, and the growth of the plants directed nnut-.l. This is done by an operation the gardeners 11 ill Ilf tt fans .. mu -nui'iiing. ine toil bjtween the rows of celery it loasene.1, and drawn towards the plants with a hoe; the leaves aro to lw brought to an opright position-uith one hand, and held tbut by pressing the aoil firmly to their base with the other hand. This is a very different operation from that of "earthing up" for blanching; its object is merely to bring the plants into a proper shape foe futuro treatment. Indeed, for the celery to be used in winter this is all the attention it needs until it is stored in trenches, as it undergoes the blanching In those. To prep aro celery for early use it must be banked up; in two or thrco weeks after the handling process, the earth from oetween the rows 'is banked up against tho stalks, covering the whole, save a few inches of the longest leaves, and leaving a steep, smooth wall of earth. On tho largo scale this is done by men working with spades, ono on each side of the row. In three or four weeks ofter thus earthing, the stalks will be blanched and r-ady for uso. Ocdy as much as will be used or sold within a short timo are earthed up during this month and tho early part of next, as the plant is growing, and the stalks will soon become hoi how and useless if growth continues after earthing The celery will bo much better if allowed to grow until checked by cool weather at tho end of the season, and the-i placed in boxes or trenches, to blanch for later use. Iron for Fears. The Petalttma Courier says that J. V. Cas sidy, a well-known fruit-grower of Pctaluinn, has in his orchatel a number of pear trees of the finer varieties. For the last five or six yean the fruit has been gradually boconvng smaller and covered with scab until at last it was unfit for market. A littlo fnoro than a year apo he had several hundred old noils driven into the trunks ot a couple of the Flemish Beauty variety. This season the re sult is surprising. The fruit has matured, and is of full siz, of cxccllnt flavor, almost en tirely free from scab, and is far Buperior to that of trees treated ny otner meinotitj. isttllaneot! Wool Production In the United States.' No country is bettor adapted by natural, atd, on the whole, by artificial conditions to the production of wool than the United Statns. Apart from the mere question of tho cheap production of woo), the experienco of tho most advanced agricultural nations, like England, Germany, and France, goes to show that sheep aro a necessity of a good general system of husbandry on even tho highest'priced land?, and amidst the dcnet population. They af ford as much food to man, in proportion to their own consumption, ns any other domestic animals. Thev aro believed to return more fertilizing matter to the soil. In addition to these things, they alone tumish wool. Our people have not lacked the necessary breeds to embark vigorously and advantage ously in every department of sheep hus bandry. In fine wool varieties we have selec tions trom the best flocks of Germany. In va rieties from fine to m-dium we have tho American merino, yielding 50 per cent, more wool than his Spaniah ancetnr, without'a de terioration in its quality. In coarse varieties, we have the choicest mutton breeds of Eng land, and also hardy and productive sub-varieties between these nnd what aro termed onr native sheep. No country has oa-cr-been so liberal in importing the most highly esteemed foreign breeds of sheep, and nonn has been more sncccfBfnl in acclimating them. Somo have been greatly improved amon? us, and none, we lelieve, have degenorated avhero tho systems adapted to their culture have been found profitable. To insure advancement in this important department of industry, we know of no .advice to wool growers moro phil osophical or better than that which was given some months ago by rmo of the oldest practi cal manufacturers in tho country : "It is for the interest of tho manufacturers that that course shall bi pursued by tho wool growers that in the end will enable them to givo us the greatest quantity and the greatest" value of wool at tho lowest coat; and if, in ono section of tho country, thp farmers aro co situated that the expense, or inconvenienco, or injury to their sheep is greater than tho co6t of transporting tho extra waste, and the other disadvantages attending that, I should say decidedly, let them take that cnur'o by which they can give ns tho greatest value at tho leaat cost; and if, in another section, they are so favorably situated with regard to washing fiat they can uuallv trivo us tho greatest vil ue by wnihine, let them purs le that course there. And so avith regard to all other points, I think that is the main thing to bo consid ered. If by producing tho avool in connection with a very large amount of oil, you can still givo us a greater value of wool at the samo coat, then let us havo tho oil with it. In all cases, that one prineiplo mnt be the control, ling one. That course, which is the moat economical, on the wholo, will bo adopted in tho end; for it is to that, natural cauaca mako the thing tend." U. S, Rwiomhl. The Gravel Soil ' The large gravel plain extending eastward from our c'ty to a diitance of about tn miles east of Rathdrum, ia geuerallv suppoacd by people traveling through tho country for tho first time, to t? of a-erv little value. Such, however, is not tho coe. In the immediate vicinity o this city it is not very preposaoaa ing, aa the llt of rrck over which the river falls at this point is higher than at points above and gives it more of a rocky character than is to be seen farther to tho oast. From a point two miles east of the city the gravel lands becomo pretty fair and when Rathdrum it reached a fins body of land ia found that will equal any in our country. There is jutt enough gravel in that soil to make it warm and looae and the soil ia at black at oal. It produces well, too, at many fieldt along the plain indicate. Go"xi farms can be had on the gravel lands from here to Kathdrum. Now thtt the fine hih prairies in the immediete vicinity of raiiroad townt aro all taken up, this bojy of land, lying nowhere more than (oar miles from our city, Clifton or Rathdrum, is beginning to be taken ; the best, of course. going first. It is evidently tho finest of soils for fruit raising, and tho remarkable fact that tho valley of the Spokan is lower and warmer than tho surrounding country, makes it ap pear more than probablo that theso lands are destined to bo valuable foi fruiV raising. Thero can bo no better lands than those around the town of llathdrum, where a nice little village has sprung up, nnd a branch road is to leave the main line for tho valley of Cu?ur d'Alene lake and the St Joe, and Cojur el'Aleno river?. A large settlement can be mado around Kathdrum, and much of tho laud is now being taken up. At this point are several stores. The firm of annacott&Op penhcimeraro selling goods there and at Co?ur d'Alene, ten miles farther inland. It is very certain that in timo all theso lands will bo farmed, and their nearness to the line of the Northern Pacific renders them additionally valuable. CONQUEROR OF ALL KIDNEY DISEASES.
