ON HORSE BREEDING IN ONTARIO. 



27 



Halton Continued. 



Inspectors' Remarks: "In the county of Halton your committee think 

 thait the heavy horse is the most suitable one for the average farmer to breed. 

 We find that there are very few good mares to breed from, and no system 

 Hallowed by most of the breeders, some mares with one, two and even three 

 heavy crosses in them being bred to poor light stallions, and poor light mares 

 being bred to heavy horses. We also found that too often when a farmer has 

 u mare that is used up and no good, he at once breeds her and tries to raise 

 ;t colt. Suggestions were made that the Ontario Department of Agriculture 

 distribute some literature that would impress on the farmers the advisability 

 of breeding to type, and only breeding such mares as are suitable to raise 

 colts that are sound, and that this would help the horse industry very much."
