RAISING FAST HORSES. LIN reply to
correspondent, the St. Louis Journal of
faAgriculture says, we cannot Recommend
yon to make the raising of fast horses a
sFScialty in your business. True fabu-
lo1s prices are often paid for extra fast
staeds-more especially at the present pc
RIA however, if you will take the trouble
esp consult the experience ofmen who have
Started out on this plan, you will find
they possess light purses as general
thing. Far better would it be were you
to raise fast roadsters and rapid walkers,
and leave all the 2:15s and 2:2Os for
others to rear. English history records a
fact that you would do well to ponder
Out of every thirty colts from thorough
bred stock on both sides, only one proves
extra fast.
