24 THE DIFFERENT BREEDS. 



There is no brighter possibility for the farmer than in 

 breeding large, young native mares of amiable disposition 

 to full-blood stallions, thus obtaining half-blood grades at 

 slight cost. Such animals are as good for all practical uses as 

 if full-bloods, and sell as well for all purposes except breeding. 



Why does not some enterprising breeder make a specialty 

 of intelligence in horses, as has been done in the case of the 



dog with marvelous results ? There would be money in the 

 thing. 



Let the breeder of horses school himself to sell his stock 

 for just what it is. He will quickly make a good name for 

 himself, and be able to get for his really good horses enough 

 to more than recompense what he loses in telling the truth 

 about the poorer ones.
