The export trade has been very large in comparison to the 

 nnniher available, and this breed has had an extremely wide dis- 

 tribntion, having been exported to Germany, Austria, Sweden, 

 and Russia in Europe, and to South Africa, Australia, New 

 Zealand, Argentine Republic and Canada. SufFolks have been 

 imported and bred in a small way for the past thirty- five years

 The Suffolks are especially noted for their uniform color, clean 

 bone, early maturity, deep rounded bodies, and level smooth top 

 line. They average in height from 15^}4 to l<v>4 hands, and in 

 weight from 1,500 to 1,800 pounds, with a few heavier. As 

 compared with the other draft breeds they are lighter in weight, 

 but their endurance and easy-keeping qualities, as well as their 

 docility and uniform good dispositions, make them an ideal horse 

 for the small farmer who wishes to breed horses for his own use 

 rather than for the citv market.
