Raising Horses For Market

The question of buying, selling or
raising horses has undergone a great
change during the past few years, says
a New York farmer in American Agri-
culturist.
l have been engaged in breeding and
importing horses for the past twenty.
five years and have naturally made
study of the different breeds and the
results of crossing them on our com.
mon mares to get good selling. useful
market horses. The French coach
horse l have found to be one of the
best breeds: to get good coach and car.
riage horses for our city markets.
These horses cross best on our common
road or trotting bred mares. Speed
and size in the mares is good thing
If You have it. but high class carriage
horses can be produced without It.
You must have size, quality and high
action in the stallion to get the very
best results
Walking Gait of Horses.
The walk of a young horse is largely
influenced by the driver. If you put
horse into the care Of slow, idle man,
or ii young horse is driven by slow,
careless man, the animal will acquire
a habit of slow motion that it will be
difficult to overcome. In majority Of
cases slow, trailing gait makes really
harder work for the horse. A moder-
ately quick walk, with at least all or
binary farm work, eXhausts the animal
less than slow gait.
Training Young Horses.
SO far rs conditions will permit,
young horse that is being trained for
work should be worked with an older
animal that has been trained to move
fairly quickly, as he will not only be
more valuable animal, but prove more
profitable to his owner
Comb and Brush.
Many farm horses do pretty well
without any acquaintance with comb
and brush, but those who get little
of it do better and are infinitely more
comfortable. says National Stockman.
A few minutes of comb and brush, the
comb used lightly and the brush with
considerable elbow grease, will make
a big difference to the horse. He will
