 If you wish to succeed as a breeder never sell your best Allies; keep them for brood mares.
 Keep the young horse stock free from

 Be sure to have your stable doors made wide enough so the horses will not be in- jured in passing in and out.
 Alcantara, 2.23, has put IS in the list, this season, making total of 73.
 Robert J., 2.O5 3-4, was knocked down at the Philadelphia Tattersals for $225. This was before he was developed. He is the only animal trotter or pacer that has won two consecutive heats in race in which the time of both heats was be- low 2.O6.
 Sell the horse you don't need if you can get reasonable price for him before winter sets in. It does not pay to keep surplus horses unless they are growing | into money.
 1 Pet the young colt occasionally and give it and the mare little salt or sugar once in while. Colts petted too much are apt to be spoiled; get acquainted with them but don't let them get too fa- miiar.

 OCduFillc IS dl"dyS db ttlG 1EOuG WILL : fine colts. Brown Dick is without doubt : the fastest in the barn, although his full sister MT Harris is not wild in thinking will out-speed him another season. The other colts at this farm include the fast and handsome mare Daisy, the brown til ly Augusta. This one has been placed in Trainer Lewis hands for the winter Then there is Bonnie Lass, fine four. year-old that Trainer Tomlinson broke over year ago and has not been in har ness until recently, when Mr Harris hitched it up and drove off as though il was born with the harness on.

 ''We are getting to the point,' said $ prominent breeder" ''where novice il the business can breed trotters as we'll ol
 nearly so as one who has spent life
 time in study and practice. Mark I us,
 the term breed. Developing the speed that is secured in the colt is quite anoth CT thing and that is where the tyro trot ting horse field fails.''
