R TALK.

Sunlight and pure air are potent ele-
ments in prcSla-ing health and vigor
in horses as Well as other stock.
Generous feeding of the growing
colt will surely result in d larger and
smoother animal than il il is allowed
TO grow up on the farm as best it can
The horses used for blowing and get
ting out the corn and other work on
the farm will be as well off without
shoes as with them. Try it.
If all grooms and herdsmen realized
the Importance of their making them
selves agreeable to the stock they ham
lie we would have fewer ~unruly, nerv-
Gus and worthless animals.
Since the time of the revolution
horses have been steadily increasing in
size. Mr.. Wallace believes this TO be
due TO the importation of larger horses
from abroad for breeding purposes,
and selecting the largest of their
progeny 10 breed from.
AT the time the first importations
were made from great Britain and Eu-
ropean countries they were much
smaller than at the present time. Ac-
cording to the evidence collected the
colonial horses OF Virginia about 1850
were nearly all between IL and II
hands, and that for 100 years they had
retained the peculiaritics of their Eng.
lish ancestors of the reign of James l.
in color, size and gait.
