The. encouragement of community breeding, .will, naturally, of itself be productive of useful.'results. Stated ' briefly, . the scheme is ;as follows:—The.farmers of any district Wishing to work for the bctternient of'horso breeding, by encouraging the lise'of sound,, individually excellent purebred sires, may form «i breeders' club for the purposo of hiring a purebred stallion for the bsuelit of the members. These breeders' clubs, by or-, ganising under and adopting tho constitution and by-laws, and conforming, to the various rules and regulations governing this ■ grant, may participate in the Federal assistance given 'to such clubs. This consists in paying practically twenty-fivo per cent, of the service fees on a guaranteed number of mares. {With a, view to encourage the breeding cf remounts,'the portion paid by the 3ive stock branch to clubs hiring suitable thoroughbred stallions shall be 40 ner cent, on all mares except thoroughbred mares.
