is difficult to find man of wealth
who has taste for breeding and
farming who is not occupying his leis-
ure moments In this way.
1t Is this splendid state of affairs
that has made breeding and farming
what 1t is in Great Britain today, and
while that glorious old country can
learn much from the great, young,
robust and healthy United States 1t
is gratifying To see American gentle
men of wealth taking a lesson from
the mothers book and going in for
legitimate methods of pedigreed stock
breeding and advanced modern farm
ing.
The example that these gentlemen
are setting in this country will be fol-
lowed by the same wholesome and
beneficial results in regard to farming
and pedigreed stock breeding as was
achieved by the pioneers in England
years ago, until we shall eventually
find all the sections of this country
best fitted by nature for the highest
class of farming and breeding, occu-
pied by gentlemen who are now lead
ing the way and setting this splendid
and useful example.

Let an example by the highest in
the land, the country squire, the gen.

tenant farmer himself, each to a
greater or lesser extent, strive to
copy the teachings of the lords of the
manor until a keen rivalry of the
most friendly nature sprang up be-
tween landlord and tenant, in con-
test for supremac. in the productions
of the farm and the live stock that
were bred thereon.
Agricultural shows sprang up in
the various counties at which were to
be seen the great draft horses, cat

landed proprietors, standing side by
side, though in lesser numbers. with
those of the tenant farmer and even
the humble cottager Looking on and

those early days stamped themselves
as the master breeders, and whose
names are written down upon the
role of honor of England's great
breeders and agriculturists.
