j f, t ll« * g IMPROVEMENT WROUGHT IN THE BREED OF HORSES IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK c »I i r i V of ■ " , J J " . , . i . i l j : i i . I i j j i , 1 ; . ! ■ j - I i , ,. 1 1 I is " " n • p e II o ii Tin Br eding Bareaa of the New- York Jock y i Club, established in 1900, lias loan; ceased m be an I experiment. Daring the liie of the bareaa seventy- S s. two stallions have been mated with j.UTl mares and UJ.27 t-ials have been reported. V it is hardly wary to state that the namber of c foals is far below the actual breeding operations. This i accounted for from iho fact that the office 1 .he Breedhtg Bareaa has found it Impossible to t have the Coals reported. In receal seasona there lias 1 been some Improvement in this department, and Al- i geruon Daingerneld, secretary of the bureau, baa evolved plana that should bring about more complete reports in the lutu.-e. liver since horses have been raced tin coarse has i in been the suprenH test of quality and the develop- . incut of the tboroaghbred horse is only possible i through these contests of speed and endurance. Long v ago that was realised by the governments •£ other countries, but In the United States there has been J scant national support, and the burden of exploiting 1 the thoroughbred and his worth lias la en on the shoulders of racing associations and breeders them- ! selves. For this reason what lias been accompUshed t by the Jockey Club is doubly commendable. France tbirt] years ago took ever the control of i horse racing as ■ military proposition, and began systematically to encourage the farmers to breed .-ill elasses of thoroughbred gxadea. Germany followed i the had oi France with respect to managing racing j and encoaraging breeding and, in addition to borne- I produced stock, reinforced her armies by importations -from Geart Britain and Ireland, the United States, | | -Argentina, and even from France. Bosnia has the] j imperial studs of Lithuania and Poland and the|] I breeding stations et southern Russia. Austria-Han- j gary baa been systematically breeding tboroaghbred irrades since tin chase of the Napoleonic wars, and i lu-r remount stables were weU stocked al the begin- ; nin of the great war last Aagast. Her cavalry was the In -. mounted of any of the powers at war. In spiie of all these preparations for « better i breed of horse- the demand thai the powers have made on this country for horses daring the present war has proven th, economic value of the tboroaghbred horse aim the importance of the work that is being ca I i d on by the Jockey Club. According to the report- of the Bureau of Animal , Industry at Washington, as many as 3UO.OO0 horses have been shipped hi of the country up to the firrt of February. The superintendent of animal bus liandry in Pennsylvania ivc- the figures as even larger. He declares in an appeal for state kelp to encourage farmers to make u-i »1 the countrys losses in hwi-sei sii i. i our , pni i.uioMs nave rescued I t total of 500.1 10. Whether thi- la an exaggeration f not tin- traffic is steadily increasing in volume, because the Lalted States i- the only country which has borne* to spare. If the war continues anotb r year, as Lord Kitchener predicts, we sha.l have sold upward of « miUion horses to the warring powers. This demand has been a tremendous drain on the horses of th I ni;. d States, and the imperative necessity ot fostering tne Industry is brought borne vividly. i!a. I the Breeding Bareaa been established ten years earlier, or even had it thrived from its birth in 1000, the market for Uiese horses in New York woald hive been an infinitely better one, but ihe taws adverse to racing dealt im privati breeding interests, is well as the bureau, a blow from whieii the horse has nol yet recovered. !i ],, :,imi iiii|n.--il.h- tor tbe founders of the bureau to maintain the enterprise on the scabs it first intended or to expand it until 150 or more stalll n«s bad been placed at service; or m found a stud bunk for tin propel registration of bureau foals. Bureau stnlllom dii i naturallj r were destroyed became ; the development of diseases which rendered them unlit im farther service; and these losses could not be r placed. In the -even lean years which have elapsed since the first of the laws antagonistic to racing were written Into the statnte books at Albany thoroughbreds t • the value ,, five or six millions of dollars havi been shipped from American ports to tbe welcoming markets e Germany, Austria. Hungary, Italj Russia. France, Japan, tbe Argentine Republic and Australia. The production of grade* has b en characterised excepl in 1910. by ■ gradual reduetiou from season tu Beason; only 410 living i.ials were reported in 1900; 138 in 1910: 366 in UH1; 283 In l.ii-: 253 in 1913 and 200 in 1814. In ran. ..la on the other hand, the history ol brt - lag has bee:: quiti different. The National Breed-ii Bureau, iiatterned after the New York Bnrean mode waa established in 1908 by the enterprise ol Jehu T. Uvan ..I Montreal. It has received govern-m, in aid. "and Is now a nourishing concern. The Canadian government recognised the economic value of the thoroughbred and half-bred horse, and the agency which racing performs in bis prodnctio and refused to Interfere with racing m ! t;!J and I 1910. In the meantime there are localities m the Btate where the thoroughbred stallions, placed I ■• th Jockey Club, have left their Indelible stamp on the ■ irscs. They are horses thai excel 1 in everj Une of endeavor, be it Im- show ring, tl • hunting flekl. coaching, and all the other pleasurable snorts to which he i- lifted. But the usefulness ; ,! ■ - not si . In s i- being a toy. ii - is round plowing, draying ■•» [ doing his share of tbe drudgery better than bis cold-blooded brother. Red Eye, ne of the stallions that has done excellent service for the Breeding Bureau, pulls ■ plow, and be has ; 1,-1 :, mi. ,,i bi« .piaiitv al that mean occupation. ; II. remains an idea! saddle horse, and when hitched 1 .. a delivery wag * or side-bar boggy be doe- in- j • iart and does it thoroughly. i"l there are others ,r these former famous performers on the turf [ that are Jnsl as versatile. To still funnel awaken the Interesi ...the farmers ■ in the worth of a tboroaghbred as a -ire the Jockey Club hai arranged ■ -cue- of prizes that will be oil. red for the Ret of the bureau stall!.. ns. rhese premiums ;ii be offered through the agricultural 1 He- ..1 horse shows of the counties in which 1 the stallions are doing stud duty. The in-t i- a 1 150 premium for the best foals, divided into sl.i to first, m."i in second and HO to third. There will also i«- offered a special futurity prise uf hBK*l 50 to first. i?tin» to second and 0 to third, for the best yearlings shown at the New • Iork State Fair at Syracuse in 1916. This pecial premium to be open to any of the uret of Breeding Bureau stallions which competed in 1915 !■•!■ any of the special prises as • by the Breeding Bureau of tbe Jockej club and wen awarded first, second or third prise.
