Mr.. r. ]. Ross has established a new
breeding establishment in Loudoun
county, Virginia. The concern will be de-
voted to the production of trotting bred
horses. His stations are Primer, bay
horse. by lvaneer (son of Electoneer and
Isma. by General Benton). dam Patrena,
bv Princess, granddam by GOlddust. loo.
Oneycha, black horse, by Longward (son
OF onward, 20 Ia, and Maud L., by
Contractor), dam by Almont Sentinel,
granddam by Henry Mambrino. These
stalnons are well bred and good ihdivi-
duals. and mated with the band OF trOt-
ting bred mares collected by Mr.. Ross
the produce should command attention.
MIR Ross will also breed draught horses,
end to accomplish that purpose he has
secured the imported Percheron stallion
Moustache.
This low prices received at the com
bination sales OF trOtting stock during
the last few months for entire colts ana
In many instances for stations OF mature
age. as well, should impress upon the
breeders of Virginia the fallacy OF keep
ing so many colts entire and disposing
OF them for stock purposes, instead OF
gelding them. Oftentimes sires of posi-
tive merit are bred to mares lacking
soundness and individuality, and the pro-
duce relocated TO the stud, where those
inirmities are again transmitted The
lottery in breeding is great under the
most advantageous circumstances, ana
how much greater II must be when the
opposite course is pursued. At the kel-
logg sale of l.. J. Roses trOtting stock
Il few years back the splendid sum or
$4,000 was obtained for an untrled colt by
STEAMBOAT. out of the great producing
mare Minnehaha. The youngsters name
was Mascot. purchased by Marcus DAILY
the copper king of Anaconda, Mont. who
kept him three years and again put him

the auctioneer's gavel fell at 500 for
the reason that he had shown neither
speed or reproductive capacity even ap-
preaching his breeding. while he lacked
individuality as we'll on the other hand
numbers OF young stations OF more than
ordinary finish and style. and fairly well
bred also, have gone begging for pur-
chase. when the same animals geided ana
gotten tractable by wise handling would
have found ready sales and a remunerd-
tive price for road and pleasure use.
II would be wise II every breeder would
see NJ to follow the example Of Mr.. VII

crop OF yearlings in rS92, save one, and
