DRAFT HORSE ESSENTIALS.
Some Reints to Ds Considered In
Breeding Thorn.

Some eoints to Be Coneidered IN
Breeding Thorn.
The action of draft horse is point
which is receiving more attention than
It formerly did. A horse to command
the very highest price must move well.
He must be good at the walk and also
do the trotting act fairly we'll. Length
of stride and straightness Of stride are
the two most important points to be
considered at the walk. Snappiness
h also essential. Height OF action and
hashiness are attractive. but not nee
essarily utility points. Winging, pad
ding or rolling action In front and
wabbling hooks are all features which
every good horseman condemns. thus
are Disseminated against at all Of the
leading horse markets.
In breeding draft horses too much
attention cannot be given to the ques-
tion Of weight. At all Of the leading
draft horse markets horsefesh sells at
the rate Of % cents per pound for each
additional pound from 1000 to 1900.
for 30 cents per pound from 800 to
2.O0Q pounds, for 81 = pound from
1000 to 1900 pounds and from 81 to
$3.50 per pound from 1900 pounds up
wards. provided, Of course, that the
horse II sound, well made and desira-
Bile In every other respect. Thus the
heavy ones are the kind we should all
aim to produce. because at best we
win get plenty Of the lighter weights
to meet the demands for the same.
