Once. Dame a pel'Iod during 10111011 eV- en the best Wet'e 80arc01y seloable, and Inferior stock could hardly be give» :may. ' This state of thing8 was dire largely to over produetl011, the indiscr•imitlato breeding of un- suitable : animals and the substttu- then of olectrio for horse power on street cars. The result was that the majority, 'of farmers gave up the breading of horses,: and many of those who, continued 111 the besine55, became ca1101ess in regard to the soft of sites they used. T110 im- portation of hlgh-1113188 stallions al- most ceased, and the trade 110011111e generally demoralized. During tihe past two 0r .1111 ee years, business has been gradually reviving, The scar- city of good Melees, duo to the MR - mitten. in as-sattten.in breeding, caused a rise in prices, and the requirements of the Army in South Africa leoreatsed the demand. 1Vhi10 this increased de- mand has affected all classes .of horse. to a certain extent, there are some classes that aro much more profitable than others for breeders to,. raise. The first que8tlo11 for the breeder to decide is what sort of horse will bring him in the best re- turns. Success in the breeding of live stock nitist bo measured by the c r a t1 al value of t he r educts stud the profits that may be derived there- from.m. HE DRAFT HORSE is undoubtedly the most profitable sort that1 the farmer can. breed. Good i 11 heavy horses woi11n8 from 1o 0U p- walds,.and of good. quality, .ttre like- ly to meet with ready sale for some time to come. By breeding a good mare to a heavy 0lydcsdale,or Shire stallion, a farmer is reasonably sure of securing a colt, that at five years old, will bring 11101 not less than $1215. Besides this there is loss risk of a heavy colt getting blemished. A blemished colt of the lighter breeds, cannot bo Sold except, at a sacrifice, whereas on a horse enn- ployod at slow work such as team- ing, a blemish is not such 0. diead. vantage, Moreover, if the blemish is pronounced, the far11102' will still have a good useful animal for his own farm work, and in the case of a mare, ho can profitably use her for breeding, if the defect is not heredi- tary. The active, .upstanding Clydos- dale type, such as is found in the Highlands of'Scotland,' is, in my opinion, the most suitable horse for the general 3armer to raise. These horses are tl'aetable, and easily broken, and while awaiting sale can be readily used for any sort of faun work, thus paying for thole keep, ivhich 111e fancy horses rarely do. Carriage and saddle horses of the. best type will always sell • for good prices, both in the United States and Great:. Britain. We often clear of the high prices paid for fine carriage team or a hunter, but of course the farmer does not getprices like these. They are only got after weeks and perhaps months of train- ing and fitting in the hands of deal- ers. The farmer seldom has .the time and the necessary knowledge of training and "fixing ftp" to produce the finished article. Still, the deal- er, as n rule, pays the breeder a fair price, and so long ,1s he does it, it will pay to raise such horses, The best carriage horses are sired by Thoroughbred, Hackney, and ocae- sionally ,by, Coe011 and Standard - bred Stallions. The thoroughbred produces the best style of carriage horses, when the mares have suffi- cient size, and good quality. AIILITAnY HORSES. have lately been very nluclt fn de- mand, but there is some doubt as to the permanency of this market. at pri- ces which will prove profitable to the producers. ' Formerly there were on- ly nly two classes of horses purchased by Great Britain for military pur- poses, Vie: -111080 for Cavalry and those for artillery. Now, however, there is n third class ' 301• !mounted infantry. This is 111e lightest class of the three, the animals ranging in height front 11,1 to 1,5,1 hands, Cavalry horses Hurst mleasul•e. from 1,5,lfr'lauds to 11.01 hands, end ar- tillery horses from 13.2 to 16 hands, Major Dent, who !las purchased most of the Canadian horses for South Africa, gives the following de- 8cription of the necessary qualifica- tions;—"The steam of horse required for artillery purposes is a blocky sort of horse, with as much breedhlg and bone as possible. The cavalry horse is of a lighter type, with good shoulders, lobi and neck. The Mounted infantry cobs are 1nin)aLure horses, The best stamp I have come across la the French Canadian, the only fault in ivied' case being often a shortness of rein, (neck). The type of horses, for whatever branch of the service rerittired, 511011)d be that of the Eng115)1 hunter,, with 81101•), legs, short cannot bone, good shoulders, backrib and loins, and the more breeding 001)1bined with strength the better. What T think are most needed to produce this typo aro good thoroughbred sires, not over 1 f hands, compact 110r505 with plenty of bone and action." It is highly desirable that none but the best class of registered stal- lions be used. There aro far too many inferior berms i11 the country now, and if our fanners breed to grade, or Cheap' purebred stallions, no improvement will be possible. The big, sound, active Clydesdale will probably give the best results on heavy mares, and the thoroughbred on good strong mares of the lighter' sort. ]bares with considerable warm blood ore most desirable fo'-breocling to it Irec]010y or Coach Stallion.
