What that is exactly 'tis somewhat difficult to explain. How often we feel and know sometliing, and yet are in trouble how best to make it plain in plain language All animal life repeats itself by class distinction, and by individual character- istics.

CATARBHI, Miih4 RAYFEVQL' Haaalptnacwta' Taking the principal breeds of cattle of the present day, it would not be dif- ficult from their history and facts still accumulating, to make out a list indi- cating the order of what lb usually term- ed"prepotency," or the ability to main- tain to stamp their characteristics by reproduction. But this term in not de- finate enough when applied to the great variety of distinct races of animals, nor even to our domestic cattle. There may be said to be three easily placed lists among farm cattle in respect of character acqmred by different me- thods of breeding â€" usually called impro- vements 1st, Those cared for in a general way from so-called native breeds and not having been interfered with by any outside crossing 2ud, Those also from native breeds, but gradually select- ed by individuals and families from among themselves to attain certain re- sults and 8rd, Those nearly altogether made by man upon a system from various sources and by subsequent inter- breeding, so as to hold as permanant as possible the properties eathered. Now we need hardly say that tbe Durham belongs to the third hat, that the Hereford may be taken as a type of the 8ecoud,and the Holstein of the first. It is, we believe, a fact in all life, vegetable as well as animal, and neces- sarily more easily observed in annimal, that the nearer nature the more intense and deeper in whatever special things characterise them â€" at the same time that such a source does not diffuse and change to such a drgree as we require when applied to others. It seems to be too concetrnated and unyielding, and in more familiar words, the, two sources always necessary for reproduction do not "nick." On the other hand, that which is considerably removed from nature, and is a cultivated thing, has the greater power of diffusion and chang- ing when linked with another of its kind. We desire, then, to draw attention *o these important facts as a part of our profession and observation here, and how much stronger the Durham cattle are when cropping value is considered. It is not contended that Durhams are valuable in the sense of doing well un- der conditions outside of those that have made and maintained them, any more than that our best hybridized wheats succeed anywhere. Whenever any wie claims for a particular breed the imiv- ersal and the best of everything, we may at once set it down as nntra-«s a simple impossibihty. Indeed, nature m any shape gives no example of it, and all our science and practice have never secured it; but there is the best evid- ence to-day that man has made a re- markable speciman of what may be termed the impossible. Intense cultivation has made the Durham the nearest to the best of every «ui»K from no other sources and by no other method meantime, in aU our ex. perienoe,ia it possible to get the wtoo. â- ^ to the combination of the beef and such a I iiaunimalsofthesamespecil what it is that has been cultivate j the animal system that acts ently so that the one holds and L other gives, but we arc certain of its] istence uevertbeless. We must uot confuse in this sfc other property unsnally called iiig," or external colouring, which l subject in our experience Las been i cribed in Bulletin xvu., and wet have time soon to submit somecluj eristically powerful things ia classes of cattle that in our experia are worth knowing.
