To begin aith. then, owners of mares are making a guest mistake and standing squarely in their own light when they refuse to pay living prices for the service of stallions to their mares. When they Will not pay such prices. other men can afford to buy good horses, and some one will always be found to supply any demand that may exist. Consequently. the services of inferior stallions become alone available, with the results described. 0n the other hand, when owners of mares evince a willingless to pay living prices, other men can afford to buy good stal- lions. and benefit accrues to every one concerned. It is just as poor business policy for breeders to refuse to pay livmg fees as it is for them to pay eitorbitant ones, for in neither case is there any pos- :sibility of a profit being made In the end. 0f the two. the owner of mares should choose to pay tho: exorbitant price, for he will then surely obtain the servxces of a great horse. independent of whether he may ever have amnutr or not. When the breeder takes the other course, to deliberately, and with his eyes open, shuts himself off from enjoying any part of the remuneration afi'orded by the. «dancing market. For the past few years breeders have, like other people, felt very keenlv the hard times, but now they are beginning again to breed their mares. There will be thousands and housands more mares bred this year than there were last season. and this is well demonstrated by the keen demand for stallions. To obtain the full remunera- lot) granted by the advance in prices of horses, breeders must breed only to the bier, and in deciding ~what they can do, 0.19 mrst important item must“ be the p .3ing of a living service fee.
