Mr. Editor,—In casually booking
over a back issue, that of the 27th
alt., of your valuable paper, I no-
ticed a letter taken, as you, stated,
from 'The Farmers' Advocate; and
which you, were requested to pub -
Lida an the "Advantages of Breed-
ing 'Heavy 'Horses." Now, sir. this
appears very mice when vieived
through trhe horseman's epectatoles,
but rwhat about . the farmer I The
writer says, "Give the man with
the good, thick quality "horse a
chance; lencourage -give him a
deposit at time of service, enough
:to defray expenses, and eno'ugh at
collecting time to pay for his Worse."
Very. agreeable protection • for thle
horsemen, but what protection has
the poor farmer, who breeds this
mare lin good faith", puts .up -the 'de-
posit, with, one chance in fifty, if in-
deed any tehance at all, id getting a
