6 DEPAKTilEXT OF AGRICULTURE 



The subjoined reports of the various breeding and other experiments conducted 

 by our oflScers will perhaps be of greater interest to the specialist than to the ordinary 

 reader. The subject is, however, one of so much importance to the horse-breeding 

 industry that I have deemed it advisable to embody our findings in this special report. 



I have the honour to be, sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



J. G. RUTHERFOED, 



Veterinary Director General.
