It is unquestionably a fact that
breeders are doing an irreparable in
jury to the light harness industry by
permitting the sale to professional
coach horse dealers OF so many Of the
best coach stations in the west. says s
an exchange. These sires are emas-
eulated and appear as the great prize
winners IN the show ring Such aris-
t0cratc snacinacns- as 4aaa- --l,iiislz u.sls iol,
gelding; Wellington, which command
ed $4,000, and many others Of the
more conspicuous champions of their
class, are among the stations that
should have been reserved for breed
ing purposes.
The fault IS attributable to the par
simony OF breeders who persist in
patronizing cheap slres. Owners Of
high priced stations are tempted by
the liberal offers OF dealers to part
with their stud, because Of the want
Of reasonable patronage. It Is unwise
on the part OF breeders to patronize
a mediocre stallion at a fee OF $40
when they could secure the service OF
a gilt-edged sire for $50. In the nrst
instance the breeder can expect 70
raise only a medium quality horse
while in the latter event a show ami
mai will probably result The differ
ence IN the value Of the two animals.
the difference Of the primary cost Of
which was SIS, will undoubtedly be
hundreds, and possibly thousands OF
dollars. Breeders must realize the
serious injury that is being done the
breeding industry when they encour-
age the sale az the best stations In the
west by the patronage Of inferior
sires. Breeding mediocre horses never
was paying enterprise, and inferior
drivers are destined to command less
than the cost OF production. This is
a progressive age. and consumers are
demanding the highest qualities in an
, utilities. Retrogression in breeding
, can only result in financial loss. and

should patronize the best sircs to

Il was a warm summer night near
the middle Of the last beat Of the po-

From the branches OF the maple
