Bulls, sheep, swine, and even horBes, are fed to such a degree that the animals are not unfrequently j put out of shape altogether ; and instead of being fit to produce their kinds, they are forced into mere waddling monsters, at which one may look with won der, but never with genuine admiration. A true judge will frequently derivo much greater satisfaction from an inspection of the same description of stock kept at home in a natural state for breeding purposes, than he will do from looking at those which carry off the honors of the show-yard. It is well-known that the evils of the Bystem of over-feeding show stock of all kinds have been fre quently deplored, and strong representations niado on the subject by breeders, and by the agricultural pross. Yet, up to the latest show of breeding stock that was held, there was not the slightest symptom of improvement. It seems strange that the parties most interested in the matter should be so much op posed to it, and yet that nothing is done to remedy the evil. Tho reason is simply this, over-feeding has become a fashion, and breeders know very well that unless they yield to it they may keep their stock at homo, for if they ventured to shew their cattle or sheep in thn state these would be kept for breeding, no one would look at them. The ram breeders at Kelso lately laid tho blame of maintaining a system of over-feeding on those who went to tho famous sales at that place for the purpose of buying. When tho evils of tho system are taken into account, it does seem strange that those who are most likely to experience its unfavorable results should be the very individuals who compel breeders to keep it up. Yet strange as it is, it is certainly the case, and those buyers who run upon stock in high condition have assuredly no right to complain when they find afterwards that they have paid for their whistle. Of course, when buyers practically insist on having breeding stock fed higher than prudence warrants, it is not likely that breoders will oppose their views ; but it becomes another matter altoge ther when those buyers turn round afterwards on tho breeders and say that the stock was unfruitful and delicate, solely in consequence of having been over fed.
