About the Horses.

MAILING ottbis w NC Il EtoN spun ~
our great national holiday, and many bis
trots are fixed for July 4th. Some APP
pear to have an idea that it is cruel to race
horses to high speed in the usual heal
which we have at that date; but such /,
really not the case. A horse can make
better time and make it easier in hot
day when he perspires freely, than on q
cool day, and if he has been given solid
and constant work. as all horses have who
go upon the course, his muscles are well
hardened, and with reasonable driving and
good care, no harm is liable to result.
Speaking of a fine stallion owned by
Mr.. A. w. Hunt. Granite Farm, Bruins
wick, the Telegraph says; "Nothing
better markes the progress of the farmer
than his evident desire to rear only good
stock Thus does the local press do
well to back up the teachings of the more
strictly agricultural journal.
