REPORT OF SPECIAL INVESTIGATION 



No. 65 



Haldiinnni] — Continued. 



class sires for their mares, whicli are a very good average lot, with prac- 

 tically no registered ones among them. Their average weight is 1,250 lbs. 

 The sires for service in the township comprise grade Clydesdales, Roadsters, 

 and a Coach horse. 



The same condition as to sires prevails in Cayuga township, where 

 four grades of Clydesdale, Thoroughbred, Coach, and Standard-bred breed- 

 ing stand for service. They are far below the average, and service fees 

 are |8 and flO. Mares are a usefullot, averaging 1,200 lbs., and of fair 

 quality. 



In Canboro township there are just three sires, a pure-bred Clydes- 

 dale, a Standard-bred and a grade — a general purpose. This is a township 

 in which more and better horses should be raised, and a few good mares and 

 one or two good stallions could do good work in improving' the standard. 

 Mares kept are fair in type and quality, weighing 1,200 lbs. on the aver- 

 age. Service fees are |8, |9 and |10. Stallions are rated as fair. 



The Inspectors say: "While there are a few very fair horses in the 

 township of Moulton, there is room for one or two good pure-bred sires, 

 and we think that farmers would readily patronize them. Mares here 

 are a verv fairlv god lot of 1,300 lbs. weisrht on the avei^age." A pure- 

 bred Clydesdale and a grade of that breeding, two Shire grades, a pure- 

 bred Percheron, and two Roadsters (one a grade), form the stud list; fees 

 are from |8 to |15. 



Inspectors' Remnrl-s : "It appeared to us, as far as we were able to 

 learn, that the farmers in Haldimand County were using very good judg- 

 ment in breeding. They seem to have a lot of very good mares, though 

 verv few are registered, and they are using the best stallions they have, 

 and are breeding more to type."
