A GREAT BOOK FOR HORSE 

 BREEDERS. 



No took upon any Iranch of live-stock breeding ever published in the United: 

 States has met toith so favorable a reception as has been accorded to ' 'Morse- 

 Breeding," by J. H. Sanders, senior editor of "The Breeders' Qazelte." Since- 

 this book was issued, a little over three year,s ago, eight la/rge editions have been 

 printed and disposed of. Since the first editions were printed the work has been 

 thoroughly revised, considerable new matter added, and the demand for it in 

 foreign countries has been so great that it lias been translated and published in the: 

 German language, a compliment, we believe, which has never before been accorded: 

 to any book upon any branch of lime-stock breeding written in the United States. 

 H. D. McKinney {"Mambrino"), of Janesville, Wis., says of it: "I consider it 

 almost invaluable, and could I not procure another copy would not take twenty 

 times th^ price of it." Hon. John Landrigan, ex-President of the Illinois State: 

 Board of Agriculture, says: "I have no hesitancy in saying that it is the very best 

 bookontJie subject read by me, and should be in the hands of every person interested: 

 in horses.''' 0. A. DeChaff, of Minnesota, says: "It is by long odds ths most 

 thoroughly practical book upon the breeding and management of horses ever- 

 written. The chapters devoted to the management of staUions, brood mares, and 

 young foals are especially valuable." The price is $3 by mail, prepaid. Address-
