MENT AND LOSS ,IN HORSE BREEDING The question of hereditary un- soundness in all its aspects is by no oceans an open ifook to the horse - breeder, but it is one well worth studying by him, if a9 thorough a knowledge as is possible of this subject will tend to lessen the per- centage of unaound stock produced. Of the various causes which tend to make horse -raising disappoint- ing and unprofitable, this is one of the important ones, if not the most important. Literally speaking it is not so much the inheritance of a disease itself that we fear, but it is tie, tendency to the development of this disease. Comparatively few foals are drop- ped with unsoundness that im- pair their value ultimately • but there are many that are foaled with a predisposition to the development of unsoundness. The study of this subject then practically resolves it- self into a consideration of what constitutes the predisposing causes of unsoundness. They may lie divided intu several heads, viz.: Defective formation, de- fective quality, insufficient quantity of tissue, and temperament. With- in certain limits the practised eye of the observant horseman can deter- mine in sire or dam the existence of these defects that are transmissible to the offspring, and pre -dispose it to the develupement of unsoundness. It is claimed by some authorities that .some horrors and mares possess a peculiar habit of. body, an indefin- >:bh .something about them which predisposes them and also their pro- geny to the devclopement of some unsoundness. Such cases are rare, however, and their supposed exist- ence is very frequently the result of the inability`of an observer to appre- ciate the existence of detectible pre- dioposing causes. if this indefinable something is the determining cause of predisposi- tion in some cases, then the only posi- tive evidence of its existence is the developed unsoundness. This theory presupposes that none of the detectible predisposing causes ;dread ymentioned exist in sufficient degree in such cases, so that when subjects of them are subjected to more than ordinarily exciting ones thty would develop unsoundness un- less the peculiar habit of body exists. It is also an acknowledgement of the helplessness of breeders in a con- siderable degree to prevent breeding colts with an inherent tendency to unsoundness. No matter how capable and careful, a breeder is, he will pro- duce a certain percentage of unsound stock, due to heredity; but with care it can he reduced to a small one. Many breeders use a sire from con- venience or from some quality he pos- sesses. Favorite mares are also bred with a disregard to the well-estab- lished principle that '•like begets like," even when they are the victims of hereditary so unsoundness or a strong predisposition to it. The successful breeder must divest himself of all sort's -tient and he capable of appreci- ating all defects which constitute pre- disposition to unsoundness. Of the predisposing causes, defec- tive formation is the most fertile one. The predisposition to navicular dis- ease is hereditary. Horses with narrow, deep heels are predisposed to it. Some observers may say: But look at the large number of horses one sees with nar- row, deep heels that have not got navicular disease." Of course, such an argument is fallacious, as there may be many compensating condi- tions that will tend to neutralize the tendency to this disease in some sub- jects. A horse with the formation of foot described, even although he is sub- jected to the exciting causes of hard, fast and steady work, and ir- rational and infrequent shoeing, may he endowedahy nature with a very light step. Nothing tends to prevent "wear and tear" of the leg; end feet like light stepping. Here, then, is an example of an influence which tends to counterbalance the ill effects of a defective formation, ]got renders complicated the study of formation as a predisposing cause of unsoundness. One, then, has to weigh the in- fluence of compensating condition.i in determining the ill -consequences likely to result from defective form- ations of feet when transmitted to nfl'spring. That defective formation of feet is handed down to progeny there is no manner of doubt. The predisposition to ringbone is undoubtedly hereditary, and when the pastern is of good formation one seldom finds it unless it is the result of some extraordinary exciting enuse. The two extremes of long; light oblique pasterns, and the short, straight coarse ones, are both predisposed, the former' from the tension to which the ligaments are subjected, and consequent tendency to sprain, and the latter from the increased tendency to concussion As we proceed up the front leg we find defective formation in the neighborhood of the knee, predis- posing t� i unsoundness. I 6 Many horses r e that are more or less knee -sprung are practically sound. Others become progressively weak, and are decidedly unsound, so that we are not much amiss in character- izing the condition called knee -sprung as an hereditary unsoundness. A commission was appointed some years ago in England to make out a list of hereditary unsoundness. The list included navicular disease, ring - hone, spavin; sidebone, periodic oph- thalmia or moonhlindness and roar- ing, It will be observed that knee - sprung was not included. In order not to complicate matters they made the list as short as possible, and only included the most serious forma of unsoundness or those that are very obstinate in yielding to treatment or are incurable. Unsoundness such as knee -sprung, curb or splint, thought the tendency to them is undoubtedly hereditary, 1 were not included. .This was be- cause these conditions seldom perm- ''jOW I,cliaeovery1 Beaty es your ,Mair Rotas's*, dandruff Stops falling hair Grows Hair. ask for ---- 7 Sutherland Sisters' COMPLETE TREATM ENT Fertilizer—Grower—Shampoo All 3 in one package $1.00 FOR"PEOPLE WHO CARE to keen up these cppearaaoe, SEVEN SUTH- ERLAND RESTERS' COLORATORS will trarmtorm their hair to say shade desired.

A horse is what is called "tied in" below the knee when the leg imnledi- rtely below that joint 1e narrower from before backwards, than it is just above the fetlock. In this con- uitiun the tendons behind the knee are not well developed and ere plat- ed too close to the ahankbone at this. point. This imperfecttendonous develop - 1111 nt ini a froit Ice is not usually confined to the tendons behind the leg, called the flexor tendons, as an imperfect develuprnent of these tendons is usually associated with an jnlpaired development of the tetdoms running down the front of the leg called the extensor tendons. Such a condition frequently re- sults in shaky knees, and if the sub- ject experiences hard work, he is likely to become progressively worse. In some cases the flexor ten - Merle appear to be much better de- veloped than the extensors, and in an individual so formed, particular ly if he is inclined to stand with his forefeet well back under him., there is an inordinate strain on the ex- tensors, leading to relaxation and a corresponding _tendency to contrac- tion of the flexors. Here, we have a lack of balance between the exten- acrs and flexors, and the result is a knee -sprung condition. Although shaky kneed or knee - sprung horses are not frequently in- capacitated for work, the breeder should not lose sight of the fact that this condition is apt to considerably depreciate a horse's value in the market, particularly for some pur- por.es, and he can seldom afford to ignore this fact. It is not intended to advise breed- ers never to breed to a sire that stands a little over in the knees, es- pecially if sufficient cause can Ian assigned for it, hut we should re- Commend, them to be very wary about using sires and dams that show a congenital tendency to this defect, DETAILS OF WEDDING OF THE DUKE OF YORK Three processions will march down the ancient aisles of Westminster Abbey at the wedding og of the Duke of York and Lady Elizabel.h Bowes - Lyon, on April 26th.

It is just what my wife had. She felt miserable tdl the time and was con- stantly depressed. She would waken in the morning and tell me that something dreadful was going to happen that day. Life was nothing Short of misery for her. She was so depressed that I ex pected she would lose her mind and haze to go to a sanitarium and I kept wondering how I would ret the money to pay for her. She could not eat and had no appetite for food. She was ir- ritable and cranky most of the time. Tf she was crossed in any way, she would immediately work herself up into a violent temper. This worried me because she had always had a kind and gentle dis- position and nothing which was said or done seemed to irritate her. I spoke .to our family doctor about her and he said that her trouble was imagination and that if she would try and forget about her domes. ion and look on the bright side of life she would bo all right. Of course I didn't dare tell her this because I knew she would get. into one of her tempers. Wizen she pot over these fits of temper, she was always weak and ill and morethe ressee d d n ever. P The doctor said a tonic might help her and gave me a prescrip- tion but this did not do her any good. She tried all kinds of other tonics with the same result. Car- nal was recommended to me and I wish to state' that it is the leader of all tonics, Since taking it my wife has changed completely. Now she is always ready for her meals and work is no burden. It is a pleasure for me to recommend Carnol to anyone who is in need of a tonic or a body builder. Excuse me for writing this letter but I want you to accept my thanks for that Wonderful tonic known as Carnol." — Mr. J. M., Toronto. Carnol is sold by your druggist, and if you can conscientiously say, after you have tried it, that it hasn't done you any good, return the empty bottle to him and he will refund your money. 7-622 the;1 g and queen, followed 'by Aneea Alexandra, escorted by the Ifnke of, Connaught The principal a erg's for the cere-, mony, garbed in their most resplen- dent ropes, will then proceed to their Places. After a pause; the bridal procession will follow, headed by min. or clergy of the abbey and the choir, in' their rich scarlet cassocks. Lady Elizabeth will pass through the, nave with her father, her train carried by two bridesmaids, and behind them the other six attendants in pairs. The opening sentences for the ser- vice have been specially written for the occasion and will be read by the Dean,of Westminster. The Archbish• op of Qantebury will then deliver hili charge to the bride and bride- groom, and the ring, having been placed on the finger of the bride, the blessing will follow. When the responses and prayers are done, the principals in the cere- mony Will go to the Edward The Confeaafir Chapel to sign the register on a huge table of ancient oak un- der the Confessor's tomb. Without further delay, the wedding party tvili drive back to Buckingham Palace, the King and Queen going first, se as formally to greet the bride and bridegroom at the head of the grand staircase. Crimson and gold will brighten the interior of the dim old abbey on the wedding morning. Bright crim- son carpet will be laid from the west door to the sacrarium, where the actual ceremony takes place. In the sacrarium itself the wonder- ful Mosaic pavement, more than 700 old, y upon which the bride and bridegroom will stand, will be cover- ed ov -ed with rich carpets. On either side golden chairs will be placed for relatives and intimate friends. The members of the Royal Family are to have places on the south side, with the King and Queen and Queen -Mother seated upon three golden thrones. Facing them from the north side will be the parents of the bride, the Earl and Cquntess of Strathmore and King Horne. or..r +ems ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN Madras, India, has three women in its city council.

C.ANADI.AN CATTLE FOR THE BRITISH MARKET. _ The British market requires each year about 300,000 store cattle and 400,000 fat cattle for immediate slaughter. Approximately two-fifths of the beef used at the present time by the British public is raised and fattened in the British Isles. This is usually beef of the hest quality pro- duced from stock with a century of good breeding and feeding behind it. The remainder of the beef used is imported largely from the Argentine, Uruguay, Australia and New Zealand. Thie comes as frozen beef and sells at a lower rate than the home-grown product. Canada cannot compete .in thi: market because South American ::ncd Australasian farmers produce their beef entirely 00 grass and can sell it cheaper, despite the longer aur an voyage. We can, however, ship overseas store cattle to go on the British pastures for summer fatten- ing; and grain or grass finished steers for immediate slaughter. The ad- vantage of shipping live, fattened Battle is that when slaughtered they command somewhere near the high price paid for the best British -raised beef. Store cattle for the British trade weigh about 1100 pounds. They must he sappy, well -fleshed cattle with the quality and breeding neces- sary to make economical gains. Light cattle may be economically wintered end shipped overseas to go on the British pastures in April or May. Cattle for immediate slaughter should weigh 1200 pounds or over at thirty months of age. They must he well-bred steers with the quality and finish necessary to dress out a high percentage of beef. The upstanding narrow, light -quartered and partly finished animal has no place in this trade. Shipping charges from Can- ada to Great Britain are so high that it only pays to ship the very best. Steers of good breeding and quality, weighing 1,000 pounds or over in the i fall ran's unfinished condition should put on 300 pounds during the six months of winter feeding. This should bring them well up to the standard required by the British market in May and June. Where there is plen- ty of good pasture available, anothr niternative is, to carry steers over the winter on a growing ration and finish on' grass for the British fall market. All tattle intended for ex- port should be dehorned. The reports from the Toronto and Montreal stockyards show that of the cattle handled, week by week, only A small percentage are of export weight and quality. This is the result of us- ing scrub hulls and of not finishing properly. Early maturity and qual- ity must be emphasized. Finishing steers at thirty months, instead of at four or five years, affords a quick- er turnover of the money invested and a saving in labour and feed, besides lessening the risk involved. Good pure-bred hulls of any of the beef breeds can be secured at reasonable Is the wisest purchase Too can snake. Pure. Fresh and so Delicious—Jest try It. prices nowadays. The man who buys one now will pay less and have a good start on the one who "waits and sees."' Good breeding, combined with careful feeding, is necessary to ac- hieve the desired results.
