THE HORSE AND THE MOTOR.

There is something significant and encouraging (says the “Stockbreeder,” London) about a recent eontroversv in trade journals as to steam and other motive powers on the road. a lie opinion seems to he gaining ground that after all steam is better than petrol for waggon traffic on the roads. Horse breeders Caii view 'with etfufinD mit yany controversy about the expense of any kind of motor, because it is evident that all is not gold that glitters even at ten miles an hour with 15 tons behind it. Beyond that, excellent as the steam motors are. their drawbacks in many ways leave the position of the heavy dray horse more assured. From time to time, viewing the traffic in our largest cities, one has been rather inclined to pessimism with regard to the future of the trade. It is impossible to predict for years ahead, hut events do seem to show at present that our best heavy horses will always be .wanted.
