Why Discard the Grade Stallion TIIBhorso brcedors of Europo hnvo had good reasons for discarding grndo stallions from their breeding oporntlons nnd thoy should bo gonor ally undorstood. Tho chief reason Is Hint until n spoclnl typo of horso hns long boon bred ptiro in one direction, neither stallions nor mares roprcsontlng that typo possess tho power of stamping tholr chnractcr upon tholr offspring. That powor Ib tormod "propotoncy," nnd it Is tho power lacking In a ma jority of low-grndo stallions and In sufficiently present in many high grade horses. drndo horses possess puro blood, but not enough of It to endow thorn with mnrkod breed or Individual pro potoncy, whllo ninny homo-bred stal lions, graded up from nntlvo or mixed-bred stock and possessed of flvo or ovon moro top-crosses of puro blood, but not cllglblo to registry In Btud books rccogplzod by tho Govern ment, nro not so cortnln of transmit ting tho characteristics of tho breed ot tholr pure-bred sires as nro ovon comparatively short-bred, Imported, roglstorod stnlllonB. Tho reason for this Is that tho im ported horsos, and thoso bred In America from Imported sires nnd dams, spring from stock produced in countries whero all ot tho horses havo, for many generations, boon practically purobrcd, though possibly non-roglstcrcd. Dreed propotoncy is well illustrated by tho fact that a bull ot any ono ot tho old-established hornless broods, Buck as tho Abordoon-Angus, Oallo way or Rod Poll, has tho power to be got hornless offspring from somo 90 por cent ot his horned mates, Theso hornless grndo Polls, how ovor, do not possess Hko power, It retained for breeding purposes, and so well is this understood thnt, whor- ovor liornloss cnttlo nro wnnted, puro torcd stallions nro known for ll years.
