redneed Hu! siqipjy ot animals of all types bi'low normal requiremeiifs, and fiirther reduetions are threatened, and will nn- donhtedly oeeur if hostilities he prolonged. Earming perhaps feels the luck of lior.ses


more aentely than any other industry, now Hull motor vehicles have acquired the ■a.seendaiiey on Hie sti'cets and roads, hut the farmer has left to him the eoiin'ortiiig kiiowledge Hiat lie alone can restore Hie supply to the uornial level. \o one can deprive liim of tlie advantages of a imirkeV, the requirements of which Mill he in- snllieienHy siqiplied for .some years to come. The existing dearth of lior.ses M'ill no donht give an impeto.s to the jiroees.s of snbslitufing motor for liorsi? pinver. but M'hen foil allowance i.s made for Hie dimin­ ished needs of fhe. ftifiire. Hiere remahi.s a hriglil. [iro.s'peet for the man who Iin.-eds a class of animal servieealile eilher for ih'iuight or saddle jnirpu.ses. Tlie farmer was never presented with a


hetter ojqiortiiiiity I'or turning Hie mares in his working teams to good aoeotmt, a l i k e f o himself and lo Hie iiaHon. Every mare of a siiital'Ie tyjie shoiiltl lie |iiit- to Hie stud this year, and there i.s evidence uf such an intention in (ho high prices tliat were jiaicl . for uorkiiig mares at the Islington and other sah'.s'in the early spring.


liorse-


hreeding brings a sloiv ret urn lo Vho.so who rear the young .stock Vo maturity, hut it is not ii.'eessarily e.xaeliiig either in


capital or iu labour. Ajiart from the service fee—and if the oMiter ot tho mare he a member of a local her.se-breediiig soeiety this need not he high even for a stallion of I'roved merit—there is little outlay until the foal is weaned. The niaro can eoutinue to do her allotted .sliare of M'ork on Hio land except that it u’inild lie wise not lo overtax her energies, partieu- larlv in carting operations, in the spring, wliile a little hululgenee in I'opd and leitiure Mhen she is nursing her olT.spring would also bo jirudent.
