Sill, — In coniplianco with the request contained in your depart- mental letter of the Uth October last, I have the honour to forward the r()ll(»\vin<^ renuirUs which have occurred to the otHcers of the British War Ottice Commission rospectinj^ the hoi'ses in Canada. 1. The result of the horse liade of the Dominion is not an easy matter to arrive at, for there are no advertised horse or cattle lairs, or other organized live stock markets, whore collections of horses and animals are to be found on sale, as is the case in all other horto producin;^ countiies. Kven just across the border in the United States, the horse rearing localities have their periodical court days, when, according to the season of the year, a considerable number, or smaller quantity of animals are ott'ei'cd on sale; and it would bo much to the benefit of the Cantulian breeders if some similar plan could bo introduced by co-operation tl.J-oughout districts, on fixed market or exhibition days, as a means of bringing the producer and purchaser together in greater numbers, with corresponding advan- tages for both sides, thus upsetting the existing monopoly. The whole horse and cattle trade of Canada is at present in the hands of Americans r id a few other dealers, with some amateur horsemen in each distrijt, who regulate the rates, rule the breeders in their respective districts and give whatever prices they choose, which are low, and in the case of the American dealers are so small that it repays them to take horses across the frontier to the extent of 11,000 last year, and yet be able to pay an import duty on their entering the States of 20 per cent, on the declared value of each animal. 2. The ignorance and innocence of the breeders and owners as to the comparative value of their animals may here be instanced. It is stated that in some places where local or other exhibitions of stock were being held, the agricultural authorities had most generously got togethei- subscriptions to help our work and ottered considerable inoiloy pi'ixoH ut the autumn sbow-* for hoi-BOM bubt litlu upsetting their monopoly, and it is believed that the Canadian tamicr is so slow to act or obsoi-ve thai he might not at fii-st appreciate what, if once introduced and carried out, would prove to be for his? nuiteriul advantage. 4. In the present state of the horse trade of the Dominion, no English or European dealer (where after all the great market is to bo looked for) could att'ord the time, or expense, of moving about the country along great distanceii, and only being able to purchase a very limited number of good, anblemished, sound animals. 5. The price of a hoi-se all over the world is fictitious, uncertain, and dependent on what hts maimers art) like, what he is fitted for, his size, breeding, action, colour, appearance and power, &c., whether he is for riding or draught, whether a good hunter or an indifferent hack, whether he is blemished or not, and to ensure a good price he must be sound and otherwise (ierfect, and any departui*e from these may depreciate his value, whereas the price of a bullock is not so regulated, it becomes a law of supply and demand, and is do- pendent on the amount of human sustenance required, whether meat or milk. Many of the horses of Canada are very good, and if a co- operating market could be introduced, buyers from Europe, giving good prices for good animaUij wouhl assemble, and the breeders would get higher prices. 6. We think it right you shouki be intormed that during our visit lu tho Pominiou, which occupied 167 days, we ti-avelied 14,755 miles, \y 'f y i) 'I' } no ; ) p we uxuiniued 7,674 liurben, ol \vhii;li wo itjgiHlf rod, to look u( jinecoiul Lime, 1,025, with tlie losult tluit wo wore only able to purchase lor the Govorniiic'iit H3 horwos. 7. The prires of tho whole of these were vory icUMunable and UHKlerate, and it was no question of money in tho n>aj(»rily of canes which prevented our purchasing in hngcr nunihcis. We found that tho great proportion of liorses met with of tho si/o and sort suitable for British military purposes were unsound or blemished, from tho tiirmors overworking their stock when too young, thus breaking down the yv)ung ones before they have developed into horses. The attention ot breeders and farmers cannot be too strongly drawn to this serious deterioration, and when the mares como to be bred from, their ills are transmitted to their young stock. S. The number of faulty and unsound stallions in districts is also gicat, and creating much harm. 9. A mulfoj-mation in tho Canadian horses which might ad\:in- tageouhly be brought to the notice of breeders is tliat their quarters are short and very drooping, a serious defect in a military horse. Indeed wo had to reject as unsuitable a considerable propoi-tion on this account ; this is not only a great dissight, but whei-e a mounted soldier has to carry a kit on his horse's back it amounts to an in- supoi-able objection ; it has arisen from tho too extensive use of the American trottei- for stud purposes, this defect being veiy apparent in that horse. This is an additional reason for the more continuous introduction of the English T. B. or such horses which are very straight in their backs and quarters, with tail set on high. 10. Then, of course, the American dealers do not take away the worst of the horses, and pui'chase many very valuable mares, leaving in tho Dominion the un.sound maMbrmed stock to be brey Oolonel K. (\.

T have heon asked b}- tho Council of the Institute of Agriculture to give a nhort address to-day on '* The Bi'oeding of Horses suitable foi' Her Majesty's Sei-vice." The present time would appear to bo not altogether inappropriate for this purpose, when it is i-eraembeicd that great efforts are being made in various directions to rouse bi'eedei's and agriculturists to the desirability of their I'ocovering for their own pockets a great portion of the thiid of a million of money going out of the country annually in the purchase ol' an average of some 17,000 foieign horses imported here foi- work; all of which w«^ could doubtless i-ear far better in England. In support of this revival, lot me refiei' j'ou to that show of thoroughbreds at Newcastle, on the 25th of January last, and also to those shows openod in London by the Shire Horse, the Hunters' Improvement, and Hackney Stud Sociotios, with manj' other associations formed or foi ming all over the country, at Lythani in Lancashire, ami al Sherborne in Dorsetshire, &c. This matter is of great public and undoubted military importance, and if anything I can say to-day will enablo the British farmer in his present distress to think of anything to improve his jtosition and brighten his prospects, or further any sclieme iov benefiting the breed of horses, more especially those required for military purposes, then my object will have been gained, and I trust your valuable time may not altogether have been wasted.

In this country the horso (luostion is everyone's business in^, noral, and nobody's in particular ; o\wy I'iiigli^Iitnan considois he known more on this subject than his neighbours; beholds his own views, and pretty strong ones they ure, whether it be tinaniially, len stakin<:; jn his favourite lor tiie Derby, or his choice of a Siie for slut' piir})oses.

The twist generally occurs at the ietlock. Tl-k^ turned "out" are more objectionable than Iocs tui-neil •• in." When toes a;e turned out, the fetlocks are generally tui-ned in, and animals so foi-med are very apt to cut or brush. Both, howeNer, a:-e weak formations. 23. Reject a horse wh'*se hind legs are too far behind. Good pro- polling power willbewiinting, and disease as a result may bo expected in the hocks. 24. Reject a hoi-se which goe,^ either very wide or very close behind. 25. Reject a horse with very straight or very beat hocks. The Ibriner cause undue concu-ssion, the latter are apt to give way. 26. Reject a hoi-se which ii *' split up," i.e., shows much daylight between his thighs. Propelling power comes from behind, and must be deficient in horses without due muscular development between the thighs. 27. Reject a horse with flat feet or over-largo feet, also with very small feet. Medium size are the best. 28. Reject a horse with one fo<)t smaller than another. Action must be light, ea»y, iree, and straight. Reject a horse that Glosses his legs in walking or trolling. Ho will be unsafe. Freedom, power to move easily rlong, vi the great point in a young horse. Knee-action is not ese>ential ; it will come with the bit and breaking. A good walk ib abeolatelj eebeatial. Beject a hortse that does not • 10 ;h very 60 that eedom, horse, making, oes not < : walk well ; he is never pleasant to ride. If a hoi-HC walks well, ho will probabl}' trot well; b)it a horso mny trot well without wullcinij well. To ascertjiin whether the action in true and Hfruight, slairl licliind the hoi-se as he walks and trots away from you. Ynii ciinnot iiHcerlain this important point by standinj^ on the side. Never omit to stand behiiul a horse as he walkn away. A good sloping shouldtn- is unimportant item in a riding horse, but bad action may co-exist with a good; and uii'e ocrsd, good, free action may co-exist with a somowhat sti-aight shouldcM-. Eeject a horse which is straight in the -.houldei- and long from the point of the shoulder to the uppi^:' part of the forearm. This for- mation places the fore logs too much under the horse, and makes him unsafe to ride. You may have a plain horse, even if all the above veiy apparent defects are absent, but you will, at least, have a serviceable one. Having first of all kept clear of all absolute defects such as the above, then select 3'our horses foi- the presence of good, serviceable, and handsome points, and easy, free, graceful carriage. But, I repeat, begin by rejection for any one positively bad defect. The greatest strength of a chain is limited by the strength of its weakest link. In purchasing horses, it is a gieat point not to lose time. If you see any one radical defect, i-eject the horse at. once. The dealoi- will, of course, try and persuade you to do othei'wise, and will call your attention to some very good point oi* points in the i-oally defective animal. Don't lose time. If you do, you may get pressed for time, may be obliged to make only cursory inspection of animals presented late in the day, and may end by buying inforior horses, which you would have rejected in the morning. It should be noticed that only a few gieys are required (viz., about 50 a year for the 2nd Jioyal Dragoons. Mares ai-e purchased as well as geldings, but no stallions. Horses which are broken are preferred, but a troop horse purchased cheap, when young, is not necessarily a pertectly broken animal with manners and accomplishments, so long as they are halter broken and appear kind and temperate. No horse is ever taken with a blemish of a m;iterial nature. It has been represented to me on several occasions, and_ people 20 hnvo boon writing to tho papers on the Hiibjoct, thnt Govornmont oiiifljt, to pay more foi- thoii* Iioi-noh; indcod, thoro is u proposal in one of tho woeixly n^ricnltiirnl papers of tho weok hcfore lant HU^t^eHtin^ thai tho price for horni's should oo intM-oasod to £M) per head. The whole qiiOMtion \h one of wiipply and demand, and isdopyndoiiton the state of the market. I have, therefore, drawn out tho following ttfble, giving womo flgurefl on the subject : — Rkturn showing the niimbei's of horses in Groat Britian rot employed in agriculture, &c., during the past few years, taken from the agricultural returns ; also the number of horses imported into England, tho number of horses in possession, and the prices paid per head, during a soiies of years, by the General Omnibus Company, also the prices paid by Government for thoir horses during the same period.

Wo have to congratulate ourselves that we are producing more hoi-ses in this country, doubtless, owing to the inci-easing interest taken in the matter, the action of the different societies, and the deliclency which has become apparent; without doubt the population has increased and the public wants must be supplied, but the pojiu- lation cannot have increased in proportion to the extent that the number of horses have as gathered from this return. The question now presents itself, are the numbers of horses we are l)rodu(ing of the right sort (or general and military purposes? I think not. What the army requires, what the public needs, and what ©very man uses who can atford it, whether for hunting or driving, is a largo supply of the up-standing, throe parts bred, gencial purpose horse, of good substance and colour, between 15.2 and 10 hands high, such as used to be bred ;n numbers by our fathers for gonei-al work in the stage coaches all over England, and which the i-ailways have caused to disappear. Such a hoise can only be produced by the continuous and more general use of T.15. sires all over the country, ai;d wo must do some- thing to produce these within I'each of farmers in bi'eeding districts, at as Iowa fee as can possibly be arranged for; the Royal Agricultural Society of England, also the Hunters' Improvement Society, is doing much in this dii'oction, but the need for good is so widespread that it should go further, and the money now given in Queen's I'latcs annually for racing, which was originally given '' to improve the Jireed of Horses in England," should be diverted for this purpose, and as it comes out of the pockets of the ratepayers, it lies with you all to see that it is thus properly applied. My own idea is that the money now given for Queen't) Plates would bo more henoficiiilly iHcd in fho Mhape of subsidioH by apportinnint? it oiitto tho Royal Aj,'ii:'ultu!'al, flio HilKMiiiaii.C'ali'doMinii, iIk* llimfor's Tmprovomont, and other kindred Hocieties. to ho !xivt'i\ away in \)\'i'- TniimiM for ^ood wtallinn^*, pi'ovidod thoy (!oniO up lo ucoi-tain Ktandai'd op oxcelhMicd. a?H( sound and will ho uvnilable in fixed distiiflH in ftioat Britian, and Irehmd during tho erjHuini? houhoii at sniall Tooh.

In the choice of districts, select th()so near large railway junctions or stations to t-nahlo mon with mares to send thoin in from suironndint; villages, such as Aberdeen, Ballinasloc, Bovorloy, Mridu'owatcr, Cardigan, Oai-raarthon, Chester, Clonmol, ('ockor mouth, (Jornwall, Denbigh, Dumfries, Doncaster, Kxetei, Glouee-ter, Hereford, hlt)wden. Kendal, Lincoln, Lytham, LimericU, M.oy, Co. Tyiono, Mullingar, Northallerton, Northampton, Penrith or Kirhy, Stophon, UipiKi, ^horborne, Wai-wick, Wigton, York. If this money is not to be given for premiums thi'ough tho lar;;o societies, as has been suggested, I feel sure, if a capable man woio banded over that £5,000 now given for Queen's Plates oacb year, ho would arrange to spend it more profitably for tho count ly than it now is.

Then I have another suggestion from a gentleman wlio hunts in the sliires, and who is getting together a local society to ])urchase in at a moderate I'ate, any sound, fit mares procurable, to retail 1o Ijieede/vs iu their hunting countries. Ho also suggests that mhuc urj-ungemojit should be made by which the Governmeut should jiur- mit ti'oop mares, after a f'ev^ years in the service, to be resold to liirmerts and breedej's at a reduced rate ; then other societies in some of our large hoi-se-produciug countries have been in correspondence with mo, ill their endeavour to get Government sanction that Local Agricultural Committees should bo permitted to conic, select and purchase the best of the troop mates annually for bi-eeding pujjc'su; . Gentlemen, in the interests of the service, seeing that a large pro- porlioji of ti-oop animals are mares, 1 do not consider this could be done ; but I have suggested somewhat the following — when troop mares are being casO for certain causes rendering them unlit for the service, but still no lujreditary or otiier breeding defect about them, that such sale should be notified to any local societies who choose to be constituted in a responsible way, and every facility should be given for members to 2)reviously inspect them, on the day of public auction sale thev could bid for the animals. After this has been done for a term of years, say tive, such societies would be in a position, through the lloyal Agricultural or other Societies, to go to Governmeut and represent that during the past term of years, a certain number of. horses have been purchased at an average price, and then ask what rates Governmeut could permit mares a lew years younger to be purchased. Possibly some arrangement could be arrived at in this way, as then Government and the public would have certain figures before them as valuation data to go en.
