HORSES. to the last census there
were over four million horses in this country.
There must be great many more now, not
withstanding the great slaughter during the
war Breeders Of late years have given more
attention to producing finer working stock, and
through their judicious efforts the national
wealth in horsehesh has probably been doubled
since the last census. The breeding of trotticg g
stock especially has received new impulse of
late years. This description Of horse has lat
terly become extremely valuable and very
profitable to breed, now commanding prices
that never before were thought Of by breeders
and the public. He has improved as much in
appearance as in gait during the past few
years. and has become much more graceful in
action and blood-like in form. This is due in
a great measure, if not wholly, to the repeated
crossings with highbred stations, possessing
trotting action, such as the Messengers aud
Bashaws, many of which are entirely thorough
bred and possess pedigrees as pure as that Of
any running horse; and we predict that the
trottlng horse in few years will so closely ap-
proximate the race horse in blood and appear
ance that the only preceptible difference be-
tween them will be in their mode of going
Nor are the high prices paid for the trotting
horse, ranging in many instances from five to
thirty thousand dollars, at ali to be wondered
at, when we consider the immense wealth and
rivalry existing in this community.-N. Y
