In his address on the horse. delivered at
one of the plougfinan agricultural meet

Il. Loring gives the following good advice
to farmers: "Wien you begin to raise
colts do not imagine, do not dream for an
instant that you will always get good
one. 1t il such an extraordinary chance
if you do. You can breed
suffolk swine just Ger
tainly and easily a. you can breed eats
or dogs. but it il quite different thing
when YOU come to colts. You can breed
Shorthorns and know just what they will
be- but to breed % horse that is IA bundle of
nerves. that has a delicate sensitive organ
ism. that il affected by all sorts of sur
roundings. as sensitive as a man and as
liable even in embryo 10 influence. is a
vastly different thing. ! have bred one
mare to one horse nine different times and

boys in one family raised in former years
on the Worcester county hills. There
were tall boys aud short boys. bright boys
aud dull boys, good boys and bad boys a.

| could breed Shorthorn steer ora suffolk
pig but in the instance of the horse it is
impossible to breed to get what you eX-
pect. and so true Is this that doubt if any
mare, whose nervous system has been
damaged on the track has ever been bred
up to expectation, and doubt if any ever
succeeded who attempted it,
