horse-breeding matters and educate the farmers of the locality to better 

 methods of breeding, feeding, and developing marketable horses. 



Uniformity 



Each community should produce horses uniform in type. As it is 

 now, each district produces a number of types. For this reason, buyers 

 in search of particular type or breed of horse do not know where to 

 find it and buy, here and there, throughout a wide territory and at a 

 great outlay for traveling expenses, individual horses of the right type, 

 until the lot has been gathered together. When each farmer in a dis- 

 trict is breeding according to his individual ideas he has to find a separate 

 and individual market or buyer for his product, and the price paid is 

 consequently small. Such districts may sell large numbers of horses 

 annually but they are of nondescript type and character. Such horses 

 neither make a name for the district as a horse-breeding center nor 

 attract buyers willing to pay appreciative prices. The individual 

 farmer will do better to cast in his lot with the majority of his neighbors
