Mr. Speed further states : 



"But I wish Dr. Salmon had selected as his stallion a horse that was in blood 

 and conformation similar to Clay Kismet." 



Of the many who have collected and are breeding the Huntington horses 

 (Arabian and Clay), Mr. Charles H. Brush, of Hopkinton, N. Y., has one of 

 Clay Kismet's best sons, called Clay Kermit, and has succeeded in establishing 

 an excellent start by securing some good mares, which are giving him telling 

 results in union with Clay Kermit. He wrote us, under date of February 

 i8, 1907, as follows: 



"It gives me great satisfaction to know that you have Clay Kismet — that he 

 is in the hands of some one who knows his value and how to use his blood. I be- 

 lieve that he is capable of doing more to improve the horses of America than any 

 horse alive if the right kind of mares are given him and the resulting produce are 

 properly mated. When the United States government horse breeding experiment 

 was started in Colorado I at once thought of Clay Kismet as the horse that, if used 

 as the leading sire, would insure success. I want to congratulate you on being 

 his owner." 



Mr. Brush is a naturally gifted breeder, and is very conservative and exact- 

 ing in the blood which he selects for breeding purposes with which to create a 

 plant, and is the kind of a breeder that will be heard of later. 



Advantages to be Derived by Breeding to 

 Arabian Horses 



It is well known by all who have taken the pains to become posted in past 

 horse breeding accomplishments, as well as to study the actual results obtained 

 by Arabian blood infusions into those of kindred blood, that the Arabian will 

 impart tone and stimulant, lovable and reliable dispositions, honesty, courage, 

 activity, cheerfulness, speed and endurance, as a result of his flinty bone 

 and a heart that is larger and better than is possessed by any of the manufac- 

 tured breeds of civilization, as well as the perfect construction of his wind- 

 pipe and the manner in which his head is set onto the neck, which is of an entirely 

 different angle than is found in any horse other than a pure Arabian or one rich 

 with direct Arabian blood infusion. 



Furthermore, an Arabian bred horse possesses a grace, elasticity and ease of 

 movement possessed by none of his degenerated cousins in civilization. The 

 Arabian blood will impart the faculty of enduring long journeys in either the har- 

 ness or the saddle. 



There is a constantly increasing number of American trotting and pacing 

 horses, as well as English thoroughbred horses, that are very poor eaters and 

 hence bad keepers, from which cause many are incapable of enduring the rigid 

 training necessary in the preparation for even one-mile sprints. Fresh Arabian 

 blood infusions will remedy this evil and give them the best of digestive powers
