breeders Of horses are continually
on the lookout for good mon. men
whom they believe they can trust 10
go ahead and do the work Alright ana
who will take proper interest In
their charges. When such q man -
found he has a permanent place and
his wages increased. A hundred
hands are right now reached out to
grasp such help. Therefore would It
not seem wise for some OF the young
to the horse business instead OF to
some other line? If a young man has
not in him that which is required to
rise high in his chosen line he may
rest assured that if he will do what
he can as a groom he will always b
certain Of a good living and chance
to save something.
Then there is perhaps the post I'M
portant line OF all-the care q breed-
ing horses In the season. On the
competence and honesty Of the groom
much of the success OF any stallion
| depends. II his caretaker will not DO
! for him that which should be done for
him the percentage Of foals begotten
will be lessened, and the owners re-
ceipts correspondingly decreased.
Every spring there is a demand from
the entire country for good stallion
men, and the answer is feeble indeed.
1t is doubtful if there Is one good man
for every ten stations in the country.
There are plenty Of men who aliege
and perhaps believe that they can
take proper care Of stations In the
breeding season. but the good ones
are all too few. Here is a line Of
education where the experiment sta.
tons might do mighty work.
