The young stock raised by the breed¬ er in a small way, says the London Live Stock Journal, are usually sent away from home to be broken by con¬ tract and when returned, in a greater or less condition of tractability, are probably very little worked for days at a time, with the result that what they have learned is forgotten by them, and they grow up practically innocent of manners. The fact is that a great proportion of the good horses bred by “little men” are neglected or, at all events, do not get a fair chance of do¬ ing justice to their merits, owing to there not being a sufficient number of them on the premises to justify their owner in engaging a regular breaker, whereas those youngsters 'belonging to a big stud are systematically train¬ ed from the first and are never permit¬ ted to forget their preliminary eduea tlon . Tills, moreover, is not tlie only man ner in which the breeder in a small j way is placed at a disadvantage, for he must always experience a greater diffi- j cul-ty than the big man in disposing of his stock. IIow rarely does it occur that where there is only one animal to be inspected it succeeds in captivating ! the visitor, and yet. are there not many of us who before now have made a special journev into the country on ' Z though we have found another on a. ft >7 % & . .

Such instances must always bo occurring, first, because there are very few peo¬ ple who will be found to regard the merits of an individual horse from the same point of view, and, secondly, be¬ cause it is only natural that the man with a horse to sell will try and de¬ scribe liis animal as resembling the horse which a prospective purchaser wants,, in the hope that if the young¬ ster does not exactly tally with the de¬ scription the visitor will buy him all the same rather than return empty handed. On the contrary, a possible buyer, if ho runs down to a stable in the country where he knows there are several young liorses, feels that out of so many there is very likely one that will suit him, and so the owner of a big establishment stands a better chance of dealing directly with the am ateur than tllo little man. The latter is uu:lbio to forin ;i ir;;u ' kct ° f his own, an( i i s therefore »r. the majority of in stances compelled to dispose of his stock to dealers, or their agents, which is the same’thing, the inevitable result being diminished profits; or else ho has to take his risk with them under the hammer, and most of us with any ex¬ perience of sales know what that means unless the vender is at the head very fashionable stud.
