There seems to be quite a general
impression among farmers that in
breeding horses, large sires on small
dams is productive of undesirable re-
suits. Some of the veterinarians WHO
have been called upon for an opinion
on the subject have led many to con-
clude that such is the fact, though it
should be understood that yeterina-
rians, as a rule, are not the best au-
thOrities on breeding. Theoretically
they seem right in many things that
are not sUbstantiated by practice. The
editor of Tie DN5led SLIteS VeteT5HGTV
Journal lately said: The correct
principle, we think. is, if possible, TO
have the dam larger, as rule, better
results follow; but Norman stations,
being of pure breed, breed well with
any mare. The only danger in bring
inc two such extremes together IS to
lose both mare and fOal ut the deliy-
cry. We have talked with some Of
our farmers, who first began the
breeding of native mares to the large
draft horses, and who have continued
in the business for the last ten years
or more, and they tell us that the
theory as announced by the veterinary
authority above mentioned is falla-
ciOus.
1t isopretty certain that Mr.. Dun
ham, of Illinois, the great importer Of
French draft horses, is Of the same
opinion, for, in connection with other
parties, he has begun the breeding on
an extensive scale, of the French stall
lions on the small native horses of the
plains. AS we understand it, these
gentlemen have something like 1000
of these mares at their ranch in Colo
RADIO all of which are being bred to che
large horses. In conversation with a
gentleman who has close business re-
1ations with Mr. Durham, the other
day. ne told us that the results, thus
far, had been entirely satisfactory,
Though many colts have been dropped,
there have been no losses of either
mares or foals. Thousands of small
mares In Illinois and other western
states have, during the last fifteen
years, been served by heavy sires from
France and Scotland; hence we con-
clude that the old story is entirely
wrong. If bad results have followed
the practice we snail be glad 90 have
correspondents make the facts known.
We have no particular desire to open
up theoretical discussion. The bus
mess has been carried on so lOng now
that facts bearing upon the subject
must be plentiful, and theories are OF
no furtaer use.-Pr1ir5e Farmer.

attractive, both in their beautiful

spite of their excellent wearing quail
