I, 12th While, as a market proposition and a generally7 advantageous line i of horse-breeding for the majority of farmers to engage in, the draft! horse has a deservedly strong hold on pub- farm work alone; leaving out the: prospect, of selling and occasional gelding at a fat price for city ser-- vice, the [general-purpose horse can put up a hard claim to get_ over. The .following remarks by a writer in lic favor, it must be admitted that for? -Colem~an s Rural _World will. ' n.d `echo in the minds of many readers. Admitting that the increasing -scale of agricultural implements is adapt- ed to utilize heavier draft animals, place for one or two horses of the general-purpose description on , the average farm, though the wisdom of a deliberate attempt to breed such: horses for a purely farm demand is questionable, to say :the least.
