The Herald, 1902-04-11, Page 5THE ZURICH HERALD Horse Breeding for Profit, Every business seems to have its times of prosperity, and • its times of adversity. For a number of years, Canadian horses inet.with • a ready sale at good prices, and then 0110 once crime a period during which even the best were scarcely saleable, and inferior stock could hardly be given away. This state of things was due largely to over production, the indiscriminate breeding of unsuitable animals,atnd the substitution of electric for horse -power on street •cars. The result was that the majority of farmers gave up the breeding of horses, and many of those who continued in the business„ became careless in regard to the sort . of 'sires they used. The ihportation .of high class stallions almost eoas- ed, and the trade became generally deinoralized. During the past two or three years, business has been gradually reviving. The scarcity of good horses, clue to the cessation in breeding, caused a rise in prices, and the requirements of the army in South Africa' increased the de- mand. While., this increased de- mand has affected all classes of horses to a certain extent, there are some classes that are much more profitable than others for breeders to raise. The first ques- tion for the breeder to decide is what sort of horse will bring him in the best returns. Success in the breeding of live stock must be measured by the actual value of the products, and the profits that may be derived therefrom. The draft horse is undoubtedly the most profitable sort that the farmer can breed. Good heavy horses weighing from 1500 up- wards, and of good quality, are likely to meet with ready sale for some time to cone. By breeding a good mare to a heavy Clydesdale or Shire stallion, a fanner is rea- sonably sure of securing a colt,that at five years old, will bring him not less than $125. Besides this there is less risk of a heavy colt getting blemished. A blemished colt of the lighter breeds, cannot be sold except at a sacrifice, where- as on a horse employed at slow work, such as etimine. ing. a blemish is not such it disttclvantage. Mortes.., over if the blemish is pronount'ed. this farther will still have a gnotl useful unusual for his own farm work, and in the ease of a mare. he can profitably use her for breeding. if the defect is not hereditary. The active, upstanding;, Clydesdale type, such as is fonntl in the High- lands of St:otIend, ie,in my opinion►, the most.suitable horse for the general farmer to raise. Thee horses aro traetatble, and easily broken, and while awaiting sale can be readily used :for any sort of farm; work. thus paying for their keep, which the fane'y horses rarely do. Carriagje and saddle horses of the best type will always sell for good prime, both in the United States ttnd treat Britain. We often hear ret the high prices paid for •t tine caar.ringe team or a hunter, but of raurse the farmer does not get l/rieee like these, They are only got after weeks and perhaps Months c:f training and #itt:ing in than bands cf dealers. The farmer seldom has the time and the necessary know- ledge of training and 'Mixing up". to produce the finished article. Still the dealer, as a rule, poet the • breeder a fair prit'+e. and gas loree as hes dots it, it will pay to raise :melt horsre:l. The lest carriage herse*s acre sired by thoroughbred Meek - taw, and oteaasionYaal.ly by teach and standaardebreal stallions, The thor- oughbred produces the best style at carriage horses, when the mares j�ayw�yeJ{�sluleienit size and Codd l4iliita borees have lately been vbry 5'nineh iti deemed, unlit: there is tome doubt as to the permopertey of this ntn.rket. et laves Which Nit ili lrro're profitable to the pro. t ticers. Foi- ierly, there were only two classes of horses purclhased. by Great Britain for military purposes viz: -those for cavalry and those for attillezve Now however. there is a third • Class for mounted infaetry. This is the lightest class of the three, the animals ratigihg iti height from ICI fiends to 1.3.1 hands. Cavalry l oesee must lucaasufe from 15.1% liasds'trr 15.3 hands. analarlillery hotses front 15,1 to 16 hands.

The cavalry horse is of a lighter, typo, with good shoulders, loin and neck. The mounted infantry cobs ,are, miniature horses. The best stannp X have come across is the French Canadian. the only fault in then case being often a ;shortness of rein, (neck). The type of horses • for Whatever branch of the :service required, should be that of the English. Hamster, with short legs: short r turnon bone, good shoulders, back, rib ata loins, and •tire more beeeding•combined with strength the b'etteY'. Thatt I think are mast needed to produce this typo, are good thoroughbred sires, not over Id hands, compact, horses with plenty of bone and action," It is highly' desirable that none but the best class of registered .stallions be used. There are far too many inferior horses in the 't co"ttetr`y now, and if our farmozs ! btced'to grade, or cheap purebred 'sf}llio4s, itG 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 lighter sort. Mares with considerable warm blood are most desirable for breeding to a Hackney' or Coack tatallion. Finally it is of the greatest im- portance that the foal shall be well fed, as the best of breeding will avail little, if the young animal is allowed to suffer• for lack of proper feecl anci'care, Good breeding and good feeding must go hand-in-hand if a success is to be made of the business of horse -breeding. F. W. Hodson, Live Stock Commissioner. A REMARKABLE STORY. A Discovery of an Almost Certain Cure for Rheumatism and Kind- red Diseases. Amongst the greatest discoveries of the age for the relief of human suffering, perhaps none take so high a place as Dr. Clarke's Little Red Pills. The formula from which these pills are made was the result of many years study and experiment. It is with the greatest confidence, therefore, that the pro- prietors place these pills on the market, and so satisfied are they that they will prove a blessing tie suffering humanity,that they make the following offer : To any one who is a subject of rheumatism (no matter how long standing) or any blood disease, as enumerated below and will give Dr. Clarke's wonder- ful Little Red Pills a fair and im- partial trial and do not find a per- feet cure,we will refund the money paid for the pills. If no substan- tital improvement is observed, we will, in addition, pay $10 in cash on satisfactory evidence being sup- plied us to this effect. We e have yet to know of a single case where these wonderful pills have not been almost entirely sue- e"essful in affecting a cure. CANA- DA c`HE3:II.1OAL CO.Peterborough, Ont. DOMINION FINANCES.

Ottawa, Ont., April ll. -The l financial , • of the i statement true Lunula- ion, issued yesterday, for the nine Prince 'Henry's Grandsire. Many an. interesting anecdote' is told of the old Emperor William the grandfather of Emperor- Wil- liam and Prince Henry, • - In his later years the aged mon; arch tpok great pleasure in visiting the schools and catechising the children, At one time, while in the city of Ems; he visited an or- phan sohool that was under govern- ment patronage. After listening for an hour or more to the recitations of several of the classes, the emperor called to the front a bright golden -haired little girl, seven or eight years of age, ancl, lifting her into his' lap said to her : ' "Now, then, .my little fraulein, let me see if you can answer rile three hard questions." And tak- ing an orange out of his. pocket he held it up. "To what kingdom does this belong?" he asked, • The Iittle girl hesitated a moment and then said timidly : "'To the vegetable kingdom." "Right, my little farulein," said the emperor. • "And now, to what kingdom does this belong?" The emperor drew a gold piece out of his pocket and placed it beside the orange. More confident • this time, the little girl replied, "To the mineral kingdom." "Better and . better," said the emperor." "Now, look at me and tell ne to what kingdom do I be- long?" The little girl was confused. Dare she say "the animal kingdom?' All the teachers and pupils looked at her with breathless expectancy. But in a moment she glanced up • brightly into the face of the kind old emperor and said: "To the kingdom of heaven." This unexpected answer drew tears from the eyes of the emperor. "Yes, yes, my child," said he ; trust that I do belong to the king- dom of heaven, and the day is not far distant when I shall go there, lay' little fraulein. Then, kissing the little girl. he prtesentecl her with the gold piece and the orange, and brought his visit t.) a close. CARRIE NATION IN NARIS LUCK.
