A blemished colt of the lighter breeds cannot be sold except at a sacrifice, whereas on a. horse employed at. slow work, such as teaming. a. blemish is mot such a disadvantage. MoreOVer if the blemish is pronounced, the farmer will still have a good useful animal for his own farm Work. and in the case of a. mare he can profitably use her for breeding, if the defect is not heredit- al‘v. The active, upstanding Clydes- dale type. such as is found in the High- lands of Scotland, is, in my opinion. the most suitable horse for the general farmer to raise. These horses are tractable anél‘easily broken. and while an'aiting sale can be readily used for / The total income from all sources was $131,928.60 and the disbursements amounted to $100,618,331 leaving $31,- 279.92as the balance to the credit of the year’s transactions.

For a number of years ‘Ganadian horses met with a ready“ sale at good prices, and then all at once came a period during which even the best were scarcely saleable, and inferiox stock could hardly be. giveui away. This state of things was due laigely to over-production, the indis- criminate breeding of unsuitable ani- mals, and the substitution of electric ,for horse=power on streetcars. The Yesult was that the majority of farm~ ers gave up the breeding of horses, and many of those who continued in “the business became careless in regard‘ to the. sort of sires they used. The importation of high- class stallions al- most ceased, and the trade.became generally demoralized. During the. East two or three years business has een gradually reviving. The scarcity of good horses, due to the cessation in breeding, causeda rise in prices, and the requirements of the army in South Africa increased the demand. \Vhile this increased demand has affected all classes of horses to a certain extent, .there are some classes that- are much more profitable than others for breed- ers to raise. The first question for the breeder to decide is what sort of horse will bring him in the best returns. Success in the breeding oflive stock must be measured by the actual value of the products, and the profits that may be derived therefrom. The draft horse is undoubtedly the must; profitable sort that the farmer ca-n breed. Good heavy horses weigh- ing from 1500 upwards, and of good quality, are likely to meet with ready sale for sometime be come. By breed- ing a good mare to a heavy Clydesdale m- Shire stalliun, a. farmer is reason- ably sure of securing a colt that at five yam-s old will bring him not less than $125.. Besides'this there is less 1 isk of Cruel war in South Africa- con; tinucs in its bloody work. Week after week bring reports of fallen heroes, reports now so common that probably we read them with. merely a, passing thought. Not so, howeVer, When we learn that our own brave‘ Canadians are among the Wounded, dying and dead. Last Saturday’s despatches brought the news of a severe battle a few days before at Hart River, between the British and a large force of Boers led by General @elnrcy. The 2nd Canadian Mounted Rifles were in the thick of the fight, and it is needless to say they dis- ‘tinguished’ themselves for their brav- ery and skill in arms, many of them giving up their lives in the cause of the Empire; Personal tributes to the fallen heroes have been paid by their colleagues in battle, and cable- grams from Mr. Chamberlain'- and Lord Roberts have been received by the Governor-General congratulating the Dominion on the heroic Conduct of the Canadians, and expressing .fi'ympathy with the relatives of those Who haVe given their lives for'th'e honour of their country. Had it not heen for the pluck and endurance of the Canadian Mounted Rifles, who .savethe day, there is reasonâ€" to be- lieve that a disaster might have oc- curred similar to that which befel Lord Methuen a few weeks ago. 'There is sorrow profound in many Canadian homes in consequence of the lives lost, but the fallen preferred death rather than surrender. RICHMOND HILL.
