No better field is open for the
young and enterprsing farmers of
Maine than to engage in the breeding
of some Of the larger classes of horses
now in active demand. Among these
we would name the French Coach,
Hackney and Suffolk Punch OF the
former there are two good stations in
Poland. We have no Hackneys in the
State, and but one Suffolk Punch; at
Foxcroft. The Hackney advertised in
our columns, if an individual meeting
the call Of to-day in style and action,
should be secured for the State of
Maine. The Farmer will aid and en-.
courage every movement looking to
the multiplication Of these classes.
Trotting interests are strong and of i'm
mense value. These larger classes
have not become popular, though adj
mirably adapted 10 the average farmer.
There is sure to be an active demand
for the stylish, well proportional horse
of the classes named, as we'll as for the
Percherons Of medium weight. Our
farmers have never gone wild over
heavy weights, preferring to hold mid
die ground and herein they are show
ing wisdom. Now is the time to reach |
out after more of this class of stock.
The field is good one and by making
wise selections there is no doubt as to |
the result.
