*STOEMONT. 



The general run of mares here were found to be of a light type and of 

 very inferior quality. The majority of the sires are of the lighter kinds, but 

 there is a fair sprinkling of heavy sires in every township except Osna- 

 bruck. 



In Cornwall township there are seven stallions, all but one having their 

 headquarters in the town of Cornwall. One is a registered Cljdesdale, 

 another a Percheron, and there are two Standard-breds, (one of which was 

 not seen owing to the owner's absence), and three French grades, two of 

 which are not used for service. For the other French grade, the fee is $5. 

 while for the pure-breds it is $10. One of those used for service is unsound. 



All the stallions in Osnabruck township are grades, and the breeding is 

 as follows: Standard-breds, six; French Canadians, three. One of the 

 former is unsound, and the average conformation is deficient. Fees are 

 very low, being $4, $5, and $6. 



There are six stallions in Roxborough township, but one of these ap- 

 pears among the horses in Glengarry. Of the remaining five one is a regis- 

 tered Clydesdale and one grade. There is one pure-bred Percheron and 

 one grade, and there is also a French grade. Four are sound, but average 

 conformation is only fairly good. The fees varj from $4 to 



Five grades of tStandard-bred, Clydesdale, Percheron, and French Can- 

 adian breeding stand in Finch township, there being two of the first, and 

 one each of the other three. Besides these there was another stallion which 

 died recently. Another stallion has not done any service. There are two 

 unsound horses and average conformation is only fairly good. $5 and $6 

 represent the service fees.
