There are many things that favor
the early cultivation OF colt1 in Calitor-
ma. The 50 son is very milo IN the fan

a much longer period IN which to de-
velop the ANIMALS. SuDol is an example
Of this quick development. The ques-

/ INFUSION OF THOROUGHBRED BLOOD.
"One OF the most interesting anu I'M
rortant points about this whole cODtfo

sion Of the thoroughbred blood aud us

The pith # the whole matter is this:
The thorough bred blood gives the en-

the gait.
People ask me: Will Maud S ever |
be sDeeded again to eclipse the record Z
she Will be- again put to test only |
when some other horse comes out and
beats the record she has made. People /
.eem to forget that the queenly mare

is tlr,sOme aud thaukltss work. this
persistent beating of one 5 own record.
and we think II is about time that some
one else di0 il. IL takes all enormous
amount Of work to prepare horse for
a test of that description. When Maud
5 Is TO train for a TecOrd-beatiug con-
test. she is put to work III february,
and It takts till August TO fit her To
make good mIie. On the whole,
don think she is likely to be called
upon to DO so again.
