extract from an article that originally
appeared In Wallace. Monihly:

To this question my decided answer u

ly the requirement. Of the pablic. The
public, q. q whole, have . very eron.
eou. impression OF the chance. !or aud
against the financial success Of raising
the ,ro,,ins bred horse for road or track.
Many form their opinion ofthi' business,
which has in the past few year. grown
10 such an enormous dimension. from
wh., they have observed Of the average
county 'hore. OK" aud think the le.
gitima,e breeder should be placed on the
same level with him. Bi, oae OF the
olde., scientific rules furnishes good
illustration 10 this. a. in many other
cases, and is that "wA,er will Away. seek
iu own level !" aud the same principle
that enters into q business Of selling
sroeerie. aud dry goods, or the manu-
f.etarins OF any article to be offered TO
the public. should be used in the breed
ing and marketing Of the horse. Where
,hi. /. or h.. been done /, has been suc-
ees.ful, and the homes. brt sder, using

There ATE really better chances in the

II you have . good mare do no, make
any mistake In breeding her. Breed her
to the bes, stallion ,ha, you can fad ol

gard to price. The value Of the produce
