Horse breed- . . o I mg is being to-day neglected and has been; for some years. There is a surplus of poor- 5` quality horses on the market_.-skates. To! the presence of the latter may be largely attributed the poor prices for horses. The good drafter, has a ready sale, and the de- mand for this classmust increase, unless; there is developed some absolutely new! method of working the land. ` Raise or buy horses-which? This brings us to the perennial enqugiry. Will it pay to raise horses or is it cheaper to buy! them-to which question it is impossible t.o give a. specific answer in a word. To raise horses there should be a good stallion of a suitable breed available for service, the mare or mares should be sound and of pro- , per conformation. the farmer himself should 5 know and like horses. and suitable feeds should be procurable at reasonable prices where" they cannot be grown right on the` place.

As by far ; the largest item in the cost of raising horses 3 is feed, it was decided a. few years ago to l weigh all feed given to a certain` number of ; youngsters from the time they were weaned 5 until ready to earn their living.

I How much does it cost? Prices of feeds; now change so often and abruptly that figures given today are practically worth-l less a short while afterwards. There isl also the/question of whether one shouldi charge to the `live stock the actual cost of 2 raising the feeds or the market p rice of I these feeds. If oats are calculated at bran 11/_, and hay % cents -per pound.' the charges are $225.40 per colt ready to work. The amount of feed could have been decreased if more pasture had beenl available, and most farmers would be mak- l ing money sellihg oats at 68 cents "per bushel and hay at $15.00 per ton;Abut it ._ must not be forgotten, on -the other hand, that there were other charges besides feedl against the coltsowhen ready to work. ` Each man must decide for himself, ac-| cording to his own local conditions, where! itgwill pay him better to raise -horses than to buy them. -If he chooses the first al-l ternative, the most elementary common sense should decide him to breed only the best, as there is no altering of the fact that a young horse, ready to work, costs a good deal of money. _ min I nnnnlinu Qnn} Wvnnvirnnnfnl Qha- H6211 U1 LllUll!'ry.
