A Talk With the Farmers.

II Is hardly necessary for me to say to intelligent
farmers that at the rate We are breeding mares in
This State we shall soon have 10 seek market
elsewhere fOrour surplus stock; II we were COM
peIled TO do it to-day there is not q market in
Inc United States where the stock of this country
would bring eighty dollars head on an average IL
this is the case and believe it is, il is certainly
time that we commenced to lay the foundation for
Larger and better class Of horses. In order 70 do
this we have got to breed to large, fine, well bred
stations; we cannot obtain good results by taking
the advice of some horse peddler and breeding to a
three hundred dollar scrub; such stations cannot
produce fine stock and Oexpeet is to do violence
to every principal Of animal propagation. We are
not horse peddlers hawking worthless stock about
the country, We are breeders. One OF my partners
has fifteen mares and the other has about the same
number in the family, and have forty one myself:
we furnish farmers the same goods we use our
selves. There viii be no discounts made from our
advertised prices. We cannot afford 10 enter into
any competition with scrub stock; our four horses
cost Us more than seven thousand dollars, and
they are among the finest draft stock In the yorld
among their several classes. We propose 70 On 10
the top in our business and believe thre IL a,onIa
room there. In word we propcee to furnish the
farmers of Central Kansas ,cith the finest draft
stations in the world p lower prices than can be
obtained elsewhere. We shall make public sale
OF horses every year, and farmers that have afew
horses 20 sell can bring them and we viii cash our
Customers notes and give them their face value for
them provided they guarantee them to US. II is
our object TO build up business we can all make
money at. Farmers must expect to let us make
money; we are not doing this thing for fun; we
will all make money. Farmers that patroniZe our
stations will raise fine stock and get good prices
for them, and as we grow old we will grow rich and
