m extract in m advertisement IL
your paper, taken from the October
number, 1873, Of tho Edinburgh Re
sjese, whore ! team Of Clydesdalt
mares il said to have done certain
amount Of ploughing in less time
than Suffolk, Perchsron, or Bologness
teams, hence, the inference that tbs
Clyde is Tue best horse foT our farm
en- to raise. As this to the farming
community is an important subject,
/ should like to give them some facts
through your columns, if you think
them worthy place. A sisgie trial
proves nothing as to breed OF
animals, but prestige founded on
superiority Is . class or breed OF
horses for centuries, does. Let me
quote an extract from the same arti-
Gle in Rerie,o, page 225. The author
says speaking Of France): "Some
Of her breeds also are Justly cole
bratsd. The grey Percheron, Of the
Paris omnibus, SO well known to oil
visitors of that gay capitol, and the
still stronger Bologness horse, have
recommended themselves to English
dealers for heavy draft, where speed
above walk is required, and they
may be noticed in many Of our Lon
don vans, omnibusses and cabs"
Now do not our farmers want to raise
horses with speed above 4 walk?
Thus much for our Edinburgh author
ity.
Now let me quote from II. w.
Herbert ("Frank Forester"). In his
hints to horse keepers and breeders,
page 40, in speaking of breeding the
French Canadian horse, which he
commends highly, he says: .By
carefully breeding mares according
to his rules to imported Normans an
improved Canadian can be produced,
taller, more shapely, and perhaps
lighter in the neck and shoulders,
and speedier." Again, page so, he
says that "Morgan and other Ameri.
can farming mares, which have some
incidentally remote cross with better
blood, can be made to produce .
progeny highly improved, hardened
in bone, better in legs, feet and con-
stitutioo by breeding them to Nor
mans. 1t is q remarkable quality Of
the Normans that, though small
themselves, when crossed-either
males to other races, or females to
thoroughbreds-they almost invaria-
bly, breed larger instead of breeding |
smaller than themselves" Let me
say that the term thoroughbred when
applied to horses refers to the Ara
bian horse. Again, page 81: ''The
remarkable purity Of the race is at.
tested by the certainty with which
the stations transmit to their pro-
geny, begotten on mares of differ
ent race, their own characteristics.
The Percheron Normans are clearly
. pure race. Since the expulsion of
the Spaniard the supply of Arabian
stations was cut Off and since that
time, in the Pcrcheron district, their
has doubtless been bred in
and in; hence the remarkable uni
formity Of the breed and the DISPOSE
ton to impart their form to their
beyond any breed Of domes
tic animals within my knowledge"
Page Sc, an extract from an Eng
lish writer in the British Quarterly
Journal Of Agriculture "The Nor
man is capital race for hard work |
and scanty fare. ] have never seen
.uch horses in the collar at the dila {
yence, the post carriage, the cum s
orous and heavy voiture. or ca brio b

hat il is becoming harder every year. i
They have doubled in price since l 2
commenced importing. The time d
vas when they could have been Ii
bought as low as the Scotch Clyde u
'ut not SO now.) "as they are bought
Up by the French government for
he diligence and mail service, for
which they are highly priced, and in !,
which they are constantly kept at a ,
