Description:Excerpt from Fourteenth Annual Report of the Secretary of the Maine Board of Agriculture, for the Year 1869 It is a well established fact in physiology, that children from parents of middle age are more hardy, less liable to disease, and longer-lived than those from very young or very aged parents. Children from parents who are past the prime of life, come to maturity much earlier and fail much sooner than others; while those from very young parents are later In coming to maturity, and consequently more subject to fatal disease, by being children much longer. Human growth, according to the best authority, ceases between the ages of twenty and twenty-five; in very warm regions, how ever, where development and decay are universally allowed to be more rapid, the inhabitants come to maturity much earlier. A superior order Of beings can only be produced by selections and exclusions similar to those employed in rearing the inferior orders. We may rejoice in a Fulton, a Franklin, or a Webster, occasion ally, the parents Of such being absolutely ignorant Of the first principles of physiology; but in the breeders' language, such were in possession of the prerequisites. In the first place, they had not entered the marriage relationship prior to the age of reason; the parents were full grown men and women, not boys and girls; they possessed a sound mind and healthy constitution, free from hereditary defects of mind and body, which stunted growth, aided by artificial modes Of life, are almost sure to entail. One safeguard, therefore, against stunted growth or ill health, is to avoid a too early use of the reproductive functions; and herein we are not safe, unless proper selections have been made, and faulty animals or persons rejected. Until within a few years, a wise and salutary law was in oper ation in the British Isles, which interdicted marriage until the candidates had arrived at the age of twenty-one. That law has been set aside, and consequently the mass of the population Of the present day will not bear comparison with that of the past. Be lievin g that the same laws that govern the human race are applied throughout animated nature, these facts established by Older and wiser heads than mine, are a foundation upon which to build a per manent superstructure for the almost infallible guide for all farmers and stock-breeders of the present day.
