LEARNING ABoUr HoHsEB
Tendency On the Farm is More lnteiiL
gent Breeding.

Many ~ the y0ung men brought up
on the farms are learning more about
horses to-day than they ever kneH
before They are doing this ln the
agricultural colleges. where they may
take "a long course Of Instruction OF a
short one. As = result d Sc certain
that We will have better horse breed
ing in the near future than We have
had az the present time Hitherto the
knowledge 81 the horse 10 all his bear
ings has not been extensive among the
rank and nie OF the ounefH q such an
imais. Otherwise we would % have
seen the aimless breeding that has
taken place and which has kept down
the per capita value Of our horses
This study Of the horse is being Etimu-
lated by the laws that are being passed
BY the various tates requiring stall
lions to be registered The state Of
Wisconsin is doing nor 70 spread the
knowledge OF good horse breeding than
any other. but there are Indications
that some Of the other states are not
far behind. says Farmers Review.
Tie laws passed have compelled the
authorities to make an Investigation
into the conditions existing in the
breeding Of horses. and the data &C
cumulated are proving very valuable
in i~nstructing those that are most in
terested in this study. From every
agricultural college is going out an In
fuence for better horses on the farms

the colonists as to bring about an up
rising which caused Lord Dunmore TO
take refuge on board the same man

being installed as the first governor
OF Virginia.
