HORSE BREEDING BY FARMERS.

In wha' we had to say through these
columns two weeks ago touching the
farmers horse and how to breed fim,
we discussed solely the question of how
to breed the horse best adapted to the
farmers own use the question Of prof
ii from horse-breeding was not consid-
cred st all in that connection. But,
after all, the main question with the
great mass of farmers is how to make
the most money out of the business.
1t will scarcely be claimed that the
model farm horse is the horse that can
be bred and sold with the greatest GER
tainty of profit to the breeder, because
farmers, as rule, raise their own
horses-they do not buy them. True,
the street car companies and the livery
stables use class of horses that differ
but little from the model farm horse I;
but for such horses, as q rule, cOmpara-
lively low prices are paid, and SO the
farmer will usually make the most
money out Of the business who breeds
for the market; that is, breeds the style
of horse that sells most readily at
good price; and we have NO hesitation
in saying that this is the blocky, com.
pact, quick-stepping draft horse, the
heavier the better and the higher
priced, SO he be compact, active and
sound. For such horses the demand
seems to be unlimited. The country is
secured year after year by buyers in
search of horses of this type for use in
the heavy trucks and drays of our cities,
and the man who raises horses of this
type finds that he can convert them
into money as readily as he can his fat
steers or pigs, and at prices quite as
remunerative. Good mares, such as
many of our western farmers own and
work ON their farms, will produce
horses that will fill these requirements
with a considerable degree of certainty
when coupled with good stations of
the French or British draft breeds, and
we have no hesitation in recommending
this as the most profitable line of horse
breeding for the average western far
mer.-BreederS Gaseffe.
