HERDS 



FLOCKS AND HORSES. 



purchase unnecessary. Imagine what this will mean for the 

 country, and in cool moments of reflection, consider your own 

 pocket, and what embarkation in heavy draught horse breed- 

 ing would mean to your bank account. It is a sound, safe, 

 ^olid investment ; a crying demand for what the country hasn't 

 got, and a demand that must be satisfied at whatever cost 

 This is where England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France and 

 Belgium have the quiet laugh at America, the silent chuckle 

 at the United States. 



All these different countries are mentioned because we are 

 obliged to go to them all for the fashionable breeds of horses 

 each produces. 



We go to England for Shires, Hackneys and polo ponies: 

 Scotland for Clydes and Shetlands; Ireland for Hunters; 

 Wales for Welsh ponies ; France for Percherons and Belgium 

 for Belgians, when we should be breeding them all ourselves 

 as good or better, and for prices, which instead of going into 

 foreigners' pockets, should find their way into our own. 



GOOD MORNING
