On some of the farms around here, the people have gone mad on breeding fast horses.

An old farmer out in the country had a common cart-horse that he suddenly found out had great powers of speed and endurance.

He sold him to a speculator for a big price, and it has set everybody wild.

If the people who give all their time to it can't raise fast horses I don't see how the farmers can.

A fast horse on a farm is ruination to the boys, for it starts them racing and betting.
