HALF BREDS TO BE REGISTERED. Montreal, Que., April 25. Steps have been taken for the preparation of a stud book for half-breds by the Canadian National Bureau of Breeding in order that the half-bred get of bureau stallions may be kept track of. This has been found necessary for the reason that there is not now any book of record in which this stock can be registered, and while it will have an especial value all Its own such a record will be necessary to protect intending purchasers from the imposition of unscrupulous breeders who might be disposed to sell them cold:blooded stock Tor hair-bred. AH the foals of bureau sires will be registered with such particulars as will furnish the readers with the color, markings, date of birth, sex, name and breeding of sire, as well as the name and address of the breeder, and these books will be placed at the disposal of the Canadian Department of Militia and the representatives of the English war office whenever remounts are being sought. Breeders of foals by bureau sires will be furnished with certiil cates which will be a guarantee of the genuineness of the breeding of the youngsters for which they are Issued, and It will be readily seen that these breeding certificates will materally enhance the market value of the animals for which they are issued.
