The scarcity of genuine good horses , le largely due to both a carelessnese in breeding and a earelessness in handling. hersof good parentage is apt to lose meal% through carelees management. But reed management spent on a poorly -bred horse will not produce a rfeet animal. It will, however, bring out the best that Is In the horse, and that should be tne 41111, of every hostler, no matter how. theanimal is' bred. Goods breeding encourages good mane agement. The mongrel discourages' good attention. • The "pato" gets the miffs and ill usage every time. The hit-and- miss plan of breeding mares is laraely responaible for the lack of really good borsee, and as breed of'partenage is the foundation of good stock, it should be the aim 0 every breeder to See that tho. foundation is. leaking in nothing. or AL inlet is as good as eondttione will permit. Great blunders are made in frequent. crossing- and mixing of breeds, the mat - hag of mongrels, breeding hetwy sires and light dams, heavy mares to light sires, etc. Horses should be bred for a pur- pose. Lea° begets like; mixed breeding begets nondescript progeny. Teem are three -classes of norses that eliould command the attention of breed- ers to -day. They are draft, general pur- pose and /saddlers. Farmers ehould se- - tea aed breed the class of borses 'which appeals to them most strongly' and, they etteuld •stick to that breed as long as they are suceeseful and satisfied with it. The demand for good horses exceeds the walla:lee supply, and fancy prices are commanded. The draft horse commands the best sale end laza prices. The market calls for 1,700 'pounds weight and upwards, ant- Inals that good body conformation; lamese feet of good, texture, strong, ewer hone, large. sound joints, heavy museular de- Velopmeta, combined with good, straight, snappy, action. Such horses bring the best Prices, and are very searce. ' The farmer who disposes of a good draft nave is making a serloue mistake. IL she is used for work and breeding' pur- poses, p. goo4 draft mare is -worth twice mach on the farm as ,.ho will sell - or in any berm market. If mated to an equally good!, or perhaps better, stallion, the farmer will have What is as good es It equivalent in a bank account coming Da4ezaavear in a valuable colt. However, important as breeding may be as a prime teeter, feeding Is equally as Important. If the feeding Is not on par with the breeding, the possibilities of 0, finished product le lessened. Very lit- tle is gained, by irnproved blood If it is iot eupported by good feeding. -Good lief)etieg and good feeding go hand hi No matter how well the cosh should be erect, if ethe first two years it becomes Atuated by poet% feeding, it can never en- tirela regain its lost growth. it is the, arst two years of the colt's Me that de- leamilees its ultimate size. /t must Le tarefelly fed from the time It is Ole to sat untli growth is finished.

The winter careaand feeding of horses is at important raciblere. The summer tare and feeding problem is lunch less ta for the reason that in summer the homes are more exorcised, which tende to ward off many of the Ills animals artz heir to during the winter months of enforced Idleness. The stomach of the horse is smaller than that of the cow, and consequently IS easier overfed. Some farmers econo- mize on the winter feed to an extent that he horses grow thin and become peer in CYS140.1 condition. This extreme is al- oft worse than overfeeding. Probably not es far as the health of the animal is concerned, but there is greater clanger of osing an overfed horse through some disease tedazig hold than with aft under - ted one. Corn fodder is a very good winter feed, .provided it is in prime condition. Moldy fodder must never be fed. A little grain Should 'Oe fed with the fodder to balance the ration. For this purpose equal pore teem of eor nand oats is beet. Feed three tlmi a day, but not too much at a there. The feeding and water- ing should be done regularly. IC is also - Important that homes should be regular- ly exereisect in winter. There must be good shelter, for horses are ,sueeeptible to eolds and penumonia. They should be always blanketed, when hitched and ob- liged to stand in the cold. several weeks prior to hard work horses should be brought up to a fine physical condition, then pressed into sere vice end immured to hard work gradual- ty. Special care should be exercised at Ails critical point, as horses that have been idle protractedly are naturally weak and tender in flesh. F.A.Stal.NDWS AND VIEWS.
