REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT— P. H. MOORE, B.S.A. 



HORSES. 



The horses on the Farm have been kept for working purposes only, no experi- 

 mental work of any sort having been done with them, and the force numbers the 

 same as last year. The four new ones purchased late last year have improved in 

 usefulness as they became more acclimatized to the country. 



Three of the older ones which have been on the Farm for many year3 are on 

 the down grade and not as useful this year as they have been in the past; in the near 

 future they will have to be replaced by younger and better individuals. Last winter- 

 being only moderately cold and the weather steady, a great deal of work was done 

 with the teams, and at the time of writing they are in excellent working condition, 

 although not fat.
