REPORT OF SPECIAL INVESTIGATION 



No. 65 



Prince Edward Continued. 



Mares are no improvement in Hillier township, being poor and very 

 mixed in type. Stallions, too, are not a good lot, with very few exceptions. 

 All are grades except an imported Clydesdale and a Percheron, and are as 

 follows : one grade Clydesdale, two grade Standard-breds, a grade Shire, 

 and two French grades. Their fees run from $8 to $15. 



Of the five stallions in Ameliasburg township, four are grades and 

 one a Canadian-bred registered Clydesdale. Three of the grades are of 

 Standard-bred blood and one Percheron. They are a fair average lot. 

 Five to ten dollars is the range of the fees. Mares are a little heavier here 

 and somewhat better in quality. 



Sophiasburg has also just five stallions, one a registered Standard-bred, 

 one a grade of same breeding, a Clydesdale and Carriage grade, and two 

 Percheron grades. Three are sound, but there is plenty of room for im- 

 provement all round. Service fees are $7 and $8. Mares average the same 

 as in the township previous.
