One of thenewest things in the equine
world Is the breeding OF male zebras
TO common mares and the production
or hybrid known as II zebroid This
is a threat to the mule breeding Industry.
as the zebroid Is said to be superior in
many ways to the ordinary American
mule. Like the mule, the zebroids are
sterile. The experiment is being con-
Quoted on an especially large scale by
one South American planter. The re
orolds stu bear stripes like their male
progenltors. While the new hybrids
may find a prejudice against them for
carriage purpose on account of their
conspicuous appearance, their virtues,
IT not over-rated, may make them pop
ular for work animals.
