the source of all the generous strains of blood, and, 

 having been formed and developed by nomad tribes 

 of the desert, he is par excellence, the horse of stamina 

 and iron endurance. 



The Company will inaugurate their undertaking 

 by judicious breeding. A selection of mares will first 

 be made. This year, as already intimated, they wil 

 import two or three Percheron mares, thus adding to 

 the number of brood mares already in the Province. 



All the mares that were covered by *' Joly " last 

 summer will foal this year. It has just been ascer- 

 tained that the Percheron mare, " Venus," belonging 

 to the Deaf- Mute institution at Outremont, lately 

 dropped a fine filly, whose black coat bears welcome 

 witness to its sire. 



The Company would take the present opportunity 

 of requesting those who may have knowledge of any 

 good mares and stallions of the old Canadian breed to 

 apprize them of the whereabouts of these animals. 

 The task to which the Company are bending their 

 energies, of renewing as far as possible, the old Cana- 

 dian breed of horses, will doubdess be a work of time. 

 It will, however, tend to assure the pubiic that our 

 efforts are in the right direction and are worthy of 



encouragement. 



So much on the head of imports and sales. 



It remains to add that the conditions accorded to 

 buyers will be extremely liberal, giving them every 

 opportunity and ample time to procure the money for 

 their payments. In fact, by reason of their large con- 

 signments and of the considerations already mentioned, 

 they are in a position to sell more cheaply than any 

 other Company, firm or individual.
