THE WILLING HORSE.
The opinion that the English farmer was doing the right thing in sticking to the horse was expressed by Mr. E. F. Healy (United, Wairau) 'in the House of Representatives last night. Mr. Healy mentioned that the largest shipment of produce ever '•exported direct to Manchester had been unloaded purely with the aid of horses. This, he said, showed that in England there was a return to the good old horsej and he believed that if the New Zealand farmer had emulated this example thero would have been less stagnation.
Mr. K. S. Williams (Bay of Plenty) "Do you want to buy a horse!"
Mr. Hcaly: "No; but I think it will not be long befdrc the horse will- be wanted to a much greater extent'than at present.". . '
Mr. J. M' Combs (Labour, Lyttelton) : "Why not go the whole way and get bullocks!" : /
Mr. Healy: "I am not antiquated, but our farmers will need to go back to horses."
