What KIND Will You Breed P

Have you decided what kind of a
horse will probably bring you the
most money March 1st, 1894?
That is long way in the future,
but it is as soon as you can pro-
duce a 4-year-old horse from your
INBRED mare, and it must be a well
developed horse that is fit for
market at even so young an age.
Since you must wait so long time
for your returns does it not strike
you as essential that you sta,t with
good stock? Suppose you have a
good mare worth s16O, and can
trade her for one much larger and
better bred by paying $40 differ
ence. Suppose, too, that you can
get the service of a good grade stall
lion for $40, but by doubling the
fee can get the service of pure
bred horse 200 lbs. larger and
three times as likely to get a colt
with his own characteristics. What
does your extra enterprise cost
you? Fifty dollars. The interest
on fifty dollars for five years is $15,
while the chances are that you will
have gained SS5 in the value oi
your horse. Pretty good invest.
ment, wasn't it ? But this is not
all. By that time your mare can
have produced a 3-year-old, a 2
year-old, a yearling and sucking,
each worth from $40 to $50 more
than if you had not made the or.
iginal investment, while your extra
outlay in the service of a good stal.
lion.
