OUR PRESENT BREED OF HORSES.— I am of 

 opinion that the breed of horses has much improved of late 

 years. Only look at the two-year-olda of last year, their size 

 aud substance ; also look at the horses now seen at the covert 

 side and those of twenty-five years ago. In those days there 

 were few good horses in the field, but now almost all have size 

 and breeding. Admiral Rous states in one of his letters that 

 the Queen's Plates seldom produce a race, and that owners of 

 hgraes will not run a good horse for the paltry sum of 100 

 guineas. Now, I would suggest to Lord Redesdale, if he wished 

 to improve or keep the breed of horses to the present standard, 

 to obtaifi the money now given for Ciiieen's Plates to be laid 

 cut in the purchase of thorough-bred stallions of size, power, 

 and substance, and place them during the season in each 

 county, charging 1 sov. and 23. 6d. the groom for each mare. 

 No farmer would object to pay that sum, and the amount 

 would go some way towards the expenses of the horse's tra- 

 velling. I do not suppose there would be money enough from 

 the Queen's Plates to carry out this plan in one year, but in 

 three or four years 1 have no doubt there would be sufficient 

 to have two stallions in each county. This is only a crude 

 idea, but I am quite sure, upon mature deliberation, such a 

 plan could be carried out.— A Foxhunter in Bell's Life in 

 London. 



SANDCRACKS IN HORSES.— The following recipe for 

 sandcracks 1 have used for many years with unifoim success : 

 Common tar, honey, elder ointment (equal portions), to be 

 rubbed in between the hair and the hoof, twice a week, or 

 oftener if necessary, — London Field.
