SEX DETERMINATION.
EXPERIMENT WITH HORSES. For many years past a scientific breeder of horses lias been investigating the question of the determination of sex. He now considers.that in most stock he can prophosy with considerable certainty tlie sex. of: the offspring', and his views are to be published in a pamphlet called "The Production of Sex at Will in Animals." His secret appears to lie in a close and particular study of the more immediate ancestors of the parents. He thus finds what is called a male or a female "prepouderaney," and by judging the degree of this prepbnderancy in the father and mother, the probability of the offspring's sex can be accurately foretold. The author, who has had twenty years' experience with every sort of stock", has achieved great results and is confident that'"the .rules arid new lines laid down in this pamphlet on sex preponderancy will be followed by all stock breeders with success, and tlvfc the Government will found breeding studs or farms where breeders can have their stocks replenished and renewed."
