ON HORSE BREEDING IN ONTARIO. 



It 



Zanari— Continued. 



f ^^m? torse of good conformation and sound only earns |3 in a service 

 tee. ihe others earn $5 and |10. 



iJathurst townskip also favors heavy horses, as is evident when the 

 stallion list is made up of three pure-bred and one grade Clydesdale, a 

 phire and a Percheron. They are all sound and rather above the average 

 m conformation, one Clydesdale especially being marked as extra good. The 

 fee for the grade is .^5, for the others |8 in each instance. 



ihere are just four of the heavy, and four of the light sires in Drum- 

 mond township, with representatives of the following breeds : Clydesdales, 

 a pure-bred and a grade; a Shire, a Hackrey, a Percheron, a Standard-bred 

 and a grade of that breeding and a grade Coach horse. It is satisfactory 

 to find them all sound and also fairly good in conformation. Stud fees are 

 somewhat higher than, in some of the adjoining townships. Beginning at 

 |6 they go as high as |25. 



In North Emsley only one sire was inspected, a registered Canadian- 

 bred Clj^desdale, sound, and of fair conformation, standing for .f8. 



This was also the case in Montague township — an imported Clydesdale, 

 a good horse and sound, whose fee was |12. 



Three Standard-bred stallions are owned in the town of Smith's Falls, 

 one being recorded and two grades. Two are getting on in years, and have 

 seen their best days. One is unsound. Their fees are |6, $8, and $10 

 respectively. 



A piife-bred Clydesdale, and a grade each of Cleveland Bay and 

 French Canadian blood, make up the trio of stallions in Beckwith iownship. 

 Two-thirds of them are sound, but conformation is not very good. Five 

 dollars and |8 are the fees charged. 



Standard-breds are evidently the favorites in the town, of Carleton 

 Place, as there are three registered and two grade stallions of that breed 

 there, the only other sire being a grade Hackney. Of the six, five are sound 

 and of fair conformation. One horse has never stood for service, but the 

 fees for the other five are from |5 to |15.
