Horse Breeding.

LEGI LATION RECOMMENDED

j Mr Alex. Bruce (Chief laspector of Stock) has contributed fco the Agricul' ttwal Gazette of Few South Wales an exhaustive article on " Oof Saddle Horses: What they were j what they are now; what brought about the deterioration ; and how their superio rity can be restored. 1 The reasons for the deterioration are stated to include the following: (1) the discovery of j.>;old ; (2) the introduction of draught blood ; (3) the Ignorance and neglect of the rules of breeding ; (4) the in* crease of racing and betting, and relax* ation of rules of racing, with reduction of weights and distances; (5) the increase of two-year-old races ; (6) the formation of pony and galloway racing clubs.

On th° question of improving the breed, Mr Brace writes :■—" Having shown that racing, as conducted dur ing the last fifty or sixty years, instead of improving the breed of oar saddle and light harness horses, from which oaval ry and artillery horses are drawn, has steadily but surely caused their deterioration, as weil as brought about a large increase in racing, betting, and gambling, it is high time, in the pablio interest, that a thorough change should be brought about in the mode in which racing is now conducted.

" There is no prospect that the racing and bitting men, who now have practically the control and management of racing, will voluntarily consent to any change which would remedy the evils alluded to, as the conditions and rules under which racing is carried on have been altered largely at their instance, and in their interest, and they are certain to resist any change. This hfing the case, tbe only remedy is legislation, which would lay down such length of races, and such weighty according to the class and age o| the horses as they would have to c^rry, and issue snob, regulations as would prevent any bat stoat, useful, weight-carrying, long-distance horses from going on the turf; and thus provide suitable sires for the produc tion of saddle and light harness horses of a similar stamp, instead of the light, weedy sorts which are to be met with all over the Commonwealth, and which have been sired by the speedy, weedy thoroughbred so often met with on oar racecourses.

" As to the power to legislate in this direction, there can be no doubt. Not only ia there, as 1 have sbowD, preced ed, for such a law, bat the fact that during last Parliament a Bill was in- Produced at the instance of racing men to, among other things, control all matters affecting horse-racing pats the legality of such legislation beyond challengf.

uThfl tiniy question, therefore, is, would sucb a meisuro effect tho neces sary improvement in our saddle and iiglit lisrnes-s nud ctviirj and artillery borses ? And there is not tbe shadow of a doubt" but it would do bo most simply and < ffeofually, for it would rnskft the nWtem^nt that racing im proves the bretd of borsee—whicli is, «1 raring is now, an utterly erroneous and mißl''cdinffone—perfectly trae, as no horse wh«> had not stoutness »n<i on* durance, as well as foot, could have any chance on the turf,"

A BROKEN TUMBLER AND ITS CONSEQUENCES; jts'ai JNai, Lower Hufct, September 3, 1901 DEAR Sir, — Possibiy the short account contained in this latf.er, in reference to the use of PLANTEKOA OINTMENT, may bo of interest to you. We had just removed from Blackbridge to the Na! Nal when my daughter Ethel had the misfortune to step on a broken tumbler, making a fearful gash, catting into the ball of the foot; laying open the big toe la two balvee. We had it attended to, but it seemed to ba getting worse, when, about five days after the accident, we were advised to use PLAJN TEKOA OINTMENT, being assured that PLANTEKOA. would soon heal it. At this time it was very bad, the foot swollen and hard, and the wound had an angry fiery appearance, and looked as if blood poisoning was setting in. However* we faithfully applied Plantekoa Ointment, and without going into details, suffice to say that in a short time the foot was healed, ahe was able to put her boots on and attend school again. I would also like to state that t used Plantekoa Ointment for my son, who had a gathering or abscess in the ear. He was home from work for some time with it and was in a bad stata. The discharge fiom the ear was of such a character that it would set up irritation on the side of the face, and the pain was very severe. In this case Plantekoa Ointment was success fully applied, and in a few days my son re&amed work. I cannot recommend Plantekoa Ointment too highly. Yonra sincerely, Mbs Jaws Swan. This wondeiful ointment ought to be in every home, not only to be there in case of accident or emergency, bat for everyday purposes, its uses are legion. It is sold by all the leading storekeepers and chemists at 2a per large box, or sample boxes for sixpence, while to meeb the demand for this ointment from farmers and others, for use with horaesand cattle, it has been placed on the market in half pound tins at 4s 6d> Unsurpassed for sore shoulders, girth galls, etc. Have you tried PLABTEKOA, the Great Herbal Remedy for the Blood XTLSTER Boot Shop-THOSS YOUNG vJ Bootmaker, thanks his numerous friends for their liberal support, and wishes them a Happy Christmas, and a Prosperous New Year.

Ross Antidote Company. , Dear Sirs,—l feel 1b my duty to give yon thia enclosed testimonial in favor of Ross Antidote for purifying the blood. I have been a greato sufferer for many yeats from ulcerated stomach, indigestion, etc. My life was a perfect F misery, and I was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying different medical men and I remedies, of which I had triei almost ' every known one but yours, and oae day some eighteen months ago a gentleman came into the shop where I was smployed. He remarked 'Jack, yon look very ill' (and you may depend I was), He added, * Will ? yon take some medicine if I procure it; I replied I will cake anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, and I took it accordingly as directed, and to my delight I began to geb well, and after taking three large bottleo I was a new man—thanks to your great discovery. I always keep it by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me in perfect health, and I wish you the success with it ' that each a medicine merlta. Yon can make what use you like of this.—l remain yours, etc, J H Pauling, Maaterton May be obtained from Messrs Fletcheb Bros and Shearman Bros, Ashburton 9232
