The rbe Commission on Horse breeding heard evil
| dence last week from Mr. r. Johnston. OF Belfast
s ssSi did not breed from the right class OF mare
There were a lot of horses in the country not worm
know the difference between a good horse and a a
bad one Mr.. Thomas Donovan of Cork SSn stated ed
ali tho three yearods unbroken regardless or price
| Mr. James DAILY Liffey Bank. said that only two
| classes OF horses should be bred in lrelandotne
| carthorse and the thoroughbred. About 10000
land every wear He thought they should be marked
IN some way Mr.. Wdger. Waterford. said he sold
| about 900 horses every year to the Dutch Govern
| ment and about 80 to the Italian The Dutch
horses were for remounts and the italian ones usu-
ally for officers The Government should. in his
| opinion supply proper sires. All American horses
| coming into ireland should be taxed The Commits
| sion has now adjourned till March,"
The foregoing should cause breeders to think and
to do all in their power TO keep up the standard OF
the American horse by exercising the utmost Wig
ilance I'm breeding for the market Amateur and
crs OF this country by selecting horses adapted for
breeding purposes and geding all entire horses
| that do not come up TO the standard required for
| military purposes The horse that is up to the
standard OF a trooper is adapted for general pur-
poses hence farmers and breeders should endeavor
| upwards Of 1000 pounds with smooth. easy action
If they excel the trooper standard. they vaua-
bic coach or express horses. and I'm the heavy
grades the farmer has a market for them at his
| own door. In many countries the Government es-
tablishes the standard Of breeding and no stations
proved by the representatives OF the Government
