II would seem almost as II everybody ana
everything was conspiring TO discourage
American breeders and 10 work incalcu-
liable harm TO a great and most useful In
dustry. digest of the annual report OF
the Canadian National Bureau OF Breeding
indicates that there Is a paucity Of horses,
not only here but in other countries, suit
able for cavalry remounts. This country
lends itself in a most favorable way to
horse breeding In general and why great
productive industry should be forced to
