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

to produce the finished article.
Still the dealer, as a rule, poet the •

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.
Major Dent, who has purcbasedy
most of the Canadian horses for
Swath Aftitfa, gives the fallow ieg
ascription of the necesettlee itiallifi-'
cations :. ` `hestampof hor e re-,
gtlired fort arttillety putposes is a
blocky sott of horse, with as ranch
bleeding and hope as possible.
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.

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-

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.
