The flallion he makes choice of has fo little ac- 

 tion, that he will tire in travelling at the rate 

 of feven miles an hour before he has gone twen- 

 ty miles } he has a large head> long legs, is ug- 

 ly all over, (though by his being very fat, his 

 ill fliape is in Tome degree concealed,) — -in 

 ihort, fuch a one as, were he a gelding, would 

 not fetch ten pounds in a fair ! Now, what can 

 be expeded from foals fo got and bred ? If 

 they ever fetch twelve or fourteen pounds apiece, 

 the breeder may think himlelf lucky. I have 

 always thought that the likelieft method to 

 breed of any particular fort, a6tion, or colour, 

 is to choofe the male and female accordingly : 

 and fo of diforders. 



To breed for profit — Let the mare be a tried 

 good one, fuch as has been really worth fifty 

 or a hundred pounds -, and whatever biemifh 

 flie may have, take care it be an accidental one 

 ©nly, and not a natural one. Let the flallion 

 anfwer the defcription in every refped as the 

 mare. The foal may then be expedled to fetch 

 a high price, and not coft more, perhaps not fo 

 much, in rearing, as a bad one. To encou- 

 rage the breeder to purfue the plan recommend-
