is more expensive than any one man de-
Sires to invest in. Each takes stock in
proportion to the use he desires from
the animal, or according to his means,
and then some amicable arrangement
must be made for competent person 10
care for him.
This is the advice of an old breeder:

The few trotting tracks in England

Keep no horse with small, contracted
nostriIs. They are one of the best indi-

individuality through. Y lou must have
them bred right, and they must be built
right to bring the money when bidding
