Makes Bred to Different Classes op Stallions. 



Very few of the horsemen spoken to hesitate to denounce the scrub stal^ 

 lion, and most of them speak of legislation against them as the only way of 

 overcoming this nuisance. Some think that, education through the Farmers' 

 Institutes would bring more business to the owners of well bred horses. There 

 is much difference of opinion among farmers as to the proper definition of 

 the word "ecrub" as applied to stallions, and this question was niiuch dis- 

 cussed at the public meeting held at Madoc on October 17th. No recom- 

 mendation was made by those present as the meeting was about evenly 

 divided, half being in favor of legislation on the subject and the other half 

 claiming that the Government should work along educational lines.
