Mares Brbd to Different Classes of Stallions. 



The public meeting of Brant was held at Brantford, on October the 

 20th. There were not very many present, but every one there veas giveii 

 the opportunity to express his views. One speaker said that the only way 

 to improve the standard of their horses was, for the Ontario Department of 

 Agriculture to get the Legislature to pass an Act making it compulsory that 

 all stallions kept for service be inspected and registered. Another speaker 

 said that while that would be a very stringent measure, he was 

 unable to see how they were going to get rid of the mongrel class in any 

 other way, and all were agreed that the mongrel horse was and has been 

 most detrimental to the horse industry. As regards syndicating stallions, 

 those present were generally agreed that the system could be successfully 

 canried out, if there were not too many in the syndicate, and the horses 

 were purchased at their proper value.
