A GREAT BOOK FOR HORSE 

 BREEDERS. 



No hook upon any branch of live-stock breeding ever 'published in the United 

 States has met with so favorable a reception as has been accorded to ' "Horse- 

 Breeding," by J. II. Sanders, senior editor of "The Breeders' Gazette." Since 

 this book was issued, a little over three years ago, eight large editions Jiave been 

 printed and disposed of. Since the first editions were printed the work has been 

 thoroughly revised, considerable new matter added, and the demand for it in 

 foreign countries has been so great that it has been translated and published in the 

 Oerman language, a compliment, we believe, which has never before been accorded 

 to any book upon any branch of live-stock breeding toritten in the United States. 

 H. D. McKinney {'■'Mamhrino"), of Janesville, Wis., says of it: "I consider it 

 almost invaluable, and could I not procure another copy would not take ticenty 

 times the pnce of it.'" Hon. John Landrigan, ex-President of the Illinois State 

 Board of Agriculture, says: ' 'I have no hesitancy in saying that it is the very best 

 bookon the subjectread by mc, and should be in the hands <f every person interested 

 in horses.''' V. A. Deiaraff, of Minnesota, says : *^Itis by long odds the most 

 thoroughly practiced book upon the breeding and management of horses ever 

 written. The chapters devoted to tJie management of stallions, brood mares, and 

 young foals are especially valuable." The price is $3 by mail, prepaid. Address
