And it is one of the most encouraging facts attending the breeding of improved farm animals that to-day it is within the power of any man having intelligence, taste and perseverance, to grow a new breed, or what may be consid ered a new breed, of any class of farm animals. Why is this en couraging? From the simple fact that it establishes that domestic animals are of such pliable charac teristics, figuratively speaking, as plastic in tne hands of the skillful oreeder as is potter’s clay in the hands of the artisan. Within the memory of the men now living, all the breeds have been greatly changed in con ton i and in tendency to grow rapidly, mature early to lay on fat, abund antly, yielding through these pe culiarities better and earlier re turns than it was possible for them to yield three or four decades back. Those who fifty years ago supposed we had reached perfection in our improved domestic animals, have been forced to recede from that position. Animals that were de serving prize winners then, would be checked off by committee men in our day, and ordered out of the ring as not being entitled to even a third prize. But the principal idea in mind, that which prompted the prepara tion of this short article, was to re fer to the belief yet deeply rooted in the minds of many, that our im proved farm animals, cattle espe cially, are of very ancient origin, and to draw the only conclusion that can be drawn—using history as the basis —namely, that by no probable or even possible means, could any distinct, improved breed of farm stock have been handed down through the middle ages— centuries of continuous, uninter rupted warfare during which arms took precedence and the people were driven first this way, and then that, having no life but camp life. No interest was taken iu anything but camp life. No inter est was taken in anything but in conquest —certainly none was tak en in general agriculture much less in cultivating favorite breeds of cattle. All animals whatsoever, whether domesticated or wild, upon which armed men could feed, were slaughtered wherever found, and if any were overlooked by the army first upon a given field they were quite likely to be found by the ad vancing hungry foe later on. Those who tilled the land and managed the flocks and herds —and this plan was followed daring sev eral centuries—were congregated in villages, lived in the rudest man ner, as serfs and slaves and were sold with the land or seperate. The cattle, sheep and swine in common ran out in the timber up on the marshes wherever food could be obtained. All the facts of history go to show that not onlv were there no improved farm ani mals known of, but that they could not have survived the centuries of worse than savage warfare, depres sion of the agricultural classes, changes in the control and owner ship of entire kingdoms; and this too during the penods when relig ious zeal and the craze for con- Suest and power absorbed the en re attention of mankind. During the latter part of the period referred to, namely, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centur ies, the large land owners in Eng land inclosed large tracts of land, and it was within these inclosures that the white wild cattle were held. These white cattle were de scendants of the cattle that had, prior to the building of the inclos* ures, run at large, as above stated. The white color, with black or red oars, were characteristics fixed through all the increase, those not white being destroyed, as calves so colored were dropped. Nothing was known about cattle of im proved form. (About 1784 Mr. 0. Colling stated that “the size was the only merit that he had any knowledge of or cared for.”) It is probable that we can safely assume that between 1650 and 1750 the Smithsons of Stanwick, Sir William St, Qnintin, Sir James Penninoau and the Dobson Bros, did what little they were able to do this little having identified there names with cattle. John Bates, the grandfather of Thos. Bates, in 1730, being in market and seeing a cow belonging to the Dobsons, went to the Dobson farm and bought “six cows and a white bull,” (the color of the cows not being given), called “Bhorthorus.” G. 8. f. n %promptly on thofif Liver and Bowels, cleans™ a, tern effectnal'y, aches and fevers and curtlyS constipation.
