 fierent periods. 



Certain retj cnimis CMts m Hbe leptedacdoc 

 cf other animals, go to ^tum thai the impre^oa.- 

 tion of an otum max take fdaee a loop time pir- 

 Tious to its derdopsMnt. and that it pnbaldT only 

 zeqaires the stimulus of fatare cooncctioa vttfa the 

 ■laie, to bring it into e^stence. He had exp^- 

 ■tented with a Xewfoondland hitch, bf eoapiin^ 

 her with a wattrr-do^. and the pregeny were pan- 

 ]t water-dog. partly Xewfiumdiand, and the re- 

 mainder a mrxtare of both. Fatnv eaaMedpn of 

 the same bitch with a grerhoond p«>d»«»d a Utter 

 Hke the farmer, with hartUv a tnee of the grey- 

 hocmd. He had br«d rabbits with the lava estab- 

 lished by this experiment, and had art leal so im- 

 pregnated a wnite rabbit with the gray rabbk, that 

 connection of this white rabbit with a black male 

 inTariabh- pittduoed grar. A &et stated by Mr. 

 Oiapin, of Yiifardf that a hen tnrfcrr woald lay 

 two or three saece^ve litters of eggs, harmg be«a 

 impnrgnated only for the first Utter, was new to 

 Prof. Agassix. It was undoubtedly with a knowl- 

 *dge of these laws of reprodBCtJoiB, perhaps pro- 

 foonder than that which we possess, that the Jew- 

 ish code declared that if a widow having eUidren 

 marr}- again, the ehildrot of hear second hitb^id 

 shall be heirs of the first. 



Hicse laws, established by these experiments, 

 shonld govern us in the breeding of oar animals, 

 and should make us careful in a selection of males 

 for the first impregnation of females, as apon this 

 depends the future value of the female in produc- 

 ing the type which the breeder may design. 



The lecturer threw much light on the sabjeet of 

 breeding and rearing cattle, and clears op many 

 points which have always been tronblcaomc to the 

 breeder. 



In conclusion. Pivf. Agassis dwelt upon the in- 

 fluence which soil and climate e:xercise in devel- 

 oping the animal system. Large frames, great 

 bony structures, srrow on limestoce soils, saaaller 

 bones on granite formations. He thought this 

 ought to be taken into consideratioQ m selecting 

 animals for any locality. And he was moreover 

 sati>fied that a breed of animals could, if confined 

 to any given spot, grow into confonnitr with that 

 »pot. 



The Professor confirmed these views with great 

 distinctness by reference to the animals which rep- 

 resent the dillerent cantons of Swiuerland."

ScToreR Drink. — A -Practical Farmer" rec- 

 ommends in the OfrmantotrH Trie'jrapk the fol-
