Improvement CD Morgan Horses.

The following appeared in recent
issue of the Vermonter.
Editor The Verm onter:
Dear SIR
| have read great deal of late re.
garding the improved Morgan. What
do they mean? Don't they intend to
say improved Hambletonian or some
other breeds2 If the Morgan horse is
not better than other American breeds
what was the use in the United States
Government going to all the expense
they have when there are horses that
will improve the Morgan?
1t is certainly not the intention of
the u. S. Government to breed race
horses or coach horses it was out
of their sphere. They recognized
that Morgans were breed of horses
possessing qualities not found in other
families-an iron constitution COM
bined with great nerve force that was
easily controlled, and that they trans
mitted those qualities to other breeds
when crossed with them. There are
plenty of all other breeds of horses
but very few of the old fashioned
Morgans-and it was the intention of
the Government, | assume, to pre-
serve the few that were left in their
purity in order to improve the other
breeds throughout the country. The
Government not having carried out
the original intention the Morgan
Horse Club was organized with that
purpose in view. as set forth in the
constitution, article 2.
The purpose of the Club is as set
forth in the platform adopted and
subscribed to by the members at the
organization meeting on the Vermont
State Fair grounds, White River juno
tion, the 23rd day of September, 1909,
to wit: "To perpetuate the Morgan
breed of horses by preserving the
original blood and type rather than by
effort to bring about improvement or
change in size, speed or other fea
tures."
Geater size in the Morgan horse
can be evolved by care, feed and
selection just as the race horse of
today was from small Arab ancestors
but don let us get some undesir-
able traits by crossing with other
breeds that it will take centuries to
remove.
Yours for the Old Morgan Horse.
