 wiuuer and champion of his breed at the Iowa State Fair, 1908. Ex- 

 hibited by Finch Bros., Joliet, 111. Belgians are a straight, every-day, 

 heavy-weight, draft breed of horses. A great middle and big ends are 

 characteristic of the breed. Stallions that do not weigh 2,000 pounds 

 are a disappointment.
