The great point in horso-breeding is to have a siro connected with good families of un(joi|bted character, In the one caso the Bto'ck will bo uniformly good, while in tho other caso individuals 'may 'aur : pass, but the general character of the slock will bo inferior and disappointing, Nothing is iiioro griovous to » kecdor than to boo weeds spring from a goodlooking siro, ' .
