1 THE EDITOR Os an agricultural paper will tell the farmer he should breed only to draft stallions. His advice maybe good, but there is a bare possibility that he may be mistaken. The reader will understand that 1 have trotting bred stallions ami am, of course tooting my own horn. Suppose a farmer breeds' a good draft mare to a good draft stallion, he will for the produce, if large and sound at four years of age receive about S2OO. On the other hand, suppose he breeds a well-bred trotting mare to a well-bred trotting stallion that is souud and individually good, the produce, everything being equal, will at least sell for as much as the draft horse, and if a handsome road horse, SSOO to $1000; and if a high-class trotter from s’>ooo to $25,000. It costs no more t > break one than the other. It is a mistaken idea that a farmer, if he breeds to trotting stallions, must have a track on his farm and keep a trainer or do the training dimself. If he has a handsome road horse there will lx* a dozen buyers for him I as soon as he has him broken. If a I trotter comes his way he will tell j him a hundred times before he is even broken that he is a trotter, and it will not cost hjtn a cent to find it out. Great trotters are born trotters. In Grander 35996, and I Major Online by Online 2:04 I have. - it is safe to say. two high-class trot- 1 ting ttallions as are in the state. < They are royally bred, good size, • very speedy, and will make great 1 sires. Stallion card-, giving breed- ( ing. description and service fee can be had for the asking. A. N. Acker, Pleasant Mills, Ind.
