BREEDING HORSES.
Great Care Must BE Taken I'm Raising
Colts and Preparing Them
for the Market.

1t will be admitted readily 10y very
large per cent. of men engaged in all
lines of business that times have great
~ changed and that methods OF doing
business have changed decidedly. says
Spirit of the West. New conditions
must be met. No intelligent or we'll
posted man will doubt the above, vet
we have altogether too many farmers
and breeders who have made very few
changes i'm the method of producing
horses as regards breeding a higher
class and also i'm care of the colts and
maturing them for market. Somehow
or other the same ambition TO produce
a first-class horse is not as strong as to
produce first-ciass corn, wheat or oats.
The impression prevails that the colt
will, some time or other, without much
care or attention, grow into horse and
sell at the average market price. There
was time when this was true, but that
time has gone by. From the tine the
breeder contemplates breeding colt
he must begin TO carefully study all
The conditions. In the first place, he
must breed 10 a first-class, well-bred,
stylish, good-gaited stallion, and when
the produce arrives ne must count on
giving it the best possible opportunity
TO develop as quickly as possible and
be ready for market. The growing and
developing process is just as important
as the breeding, and unless both are
judiciously looked after and wisely per-
formed the result will not prove salts
factory. As time advances other con-
ditions will follow that viii have to be
met, just the same as now. Conditions
at the present time differ from those
Of 20 years ago. There is only one way
to succeed, and that is to keep up with
the times.

If you desire TO cross breed sheep. do
not do it recklessly.
1t is not policy TO keep the ram shut

do we'll enough without much water.
Sheep will not pay every year what
we think they ought to. Nothing will.
But in number of years sheep will
pay as well as anything else on the
