80 PONIES — THEIR DIFFERENT BREEDS, 



confident that by breeding the largest mares of this race 

 to short, compact, stocky -bred blood stallions, one would 

 obtain a most hardy, serviceable and beautiful small horse, 

 partaking in many of the best qualities of the lost race of 

 Galloways. The mares could be easily obtained, for a 

 merely nominal sum, from the upper province of Canada ; 

 and we verily believe that it would prove a good specula- 

 tion to an intelligent breeding farmer, to attempt to raise 

 Bome of this stock, so rapidly and regularly is the demand 

 increasing in our large cities for horses suitable for the 

 young people of the wealthier classes ; and so desirable is 

 it that the taste itself, and the demand to which it gives riae, 

 should be encouraged.
