Où de grandes bandes de mares sont conservés dans l'oisiveté et sont produites pour les étalons qui ne font jamais un tour de travail et le tout sont très nourris, dit-il, il y a une tendance inhérente à la faiblesse de l'progenoy. Lorsque, au contraire, une seule mare est tenu à la ferme ou il n'y a que quelques juments et

. Breeder and sportsman. Horses. 12 THE BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN [Saturday, September 12, 1908. THE FARM WORK STALLIONS AND MARES. The best results in horse breeding come from the mating of work stallions with work mares. This is the opinion of A. S. Alexander, V. S., of the Wiscon- sin Experiment Station. Where large bands of mares are kept in idleness and are bred to stallions that never do a turn of work and all the while are highly fed, he says, there is an inherent tendency to weakness in the progenoy. Where, on the contrary, a single mare is kept on the farm or there are but a few mares and these are used for work and breed- ing purposes, the results are most favor- able and where the stallions, like the mares, also are worked or properly fed and thoroughly exercised every day of their lives the results will be most per- fect and profitable. It is high time that wherever attempts are being made to produce heavy draft horses of fine type and character farmers should, as occasion offers, buy a pure- bred mare or two and in addition keep and work high-grade mares. The pure- bred mares, mated with worked pure- bred stallions will soon stock the country with an adequate supply of pure-bred stallions and mares and then we will not have to buy at fancy prices the imported, pampered stallions that are often un- sound and usually partially impotent while becoming acclimated and then apt to stay so when kept fat and under-exer- cised. The heavy draft stallion is in- tended to beget colts that shall grow up into work horses. If like produces like, we may most confidently expect work horses from work sires and work mares; therefore the pressing necessity is that every draft stallion, and all other stal- lions, should have an adequate amount of work in harness or exercise to halter or in the cart to keep the entire body in as perfect health as possible and then the cell products of good health will be strong cells in the semen and that will mean strong progeny when union take
