132 AUTOBIOGRAPHY. 



The Toronto Globe, in brief but well consid- 

 ered words, declares : 



Prof. Pratt's lectures on the treatment of animals are in- 

 valuable to farmers and all owners of horses and cattle. 

 We only wish every farmer and farmer's boy in Canada 

 could attend one lecture. 



The Canada Farmer > the leading agricultural 

 paper of the Province, in describing a visit to 

 my exhibitions and lectures, remarks : 



We have seldom passed an evening so pleasantly, or with 

 so much real profit, and our advice to every farmer and 

 farmer's son in the country is, to take a course of lessons if 

 possible, but at all events to attend one of Professor Pratt's 

 public exhibitions. We feel perfectly satisfied that a couple 

 of hours spent in witnessing one of these performances will 

 impart a better idea of the nature and management of the 

 horse than is possible to obtain by any course of reading on 

 the subject, and in this respect alone one such entertainment 

 is worth fifty times the amount charged for a life-membership. 



I next visited the city of Hamilton, where I 

 was welcomed by many warm friends, who took 

 an active interest in my welfare and seemed 

 delighted with my system, which, at this time, 

 had gained great favor with the Canadian people.
