Glengarry. 



In Charlottenburg township there are three stallions, a Clydesdale, a 

 Hackney and a Standard-bred, all registered and sound and fairly good in 

 conf ormatioi) . Two stand for |10 and one for |15 service fees. Mares are 

 light in type and are an exceedingly poor lot, averaging 1,100 lbs. This 

 township is somewhat rough and the soil shallow. General purpose horses 

 are in favor, and there are, practically, no heavy horses raised. There is 

 very little system followed in breeding, and very few pure-bred mares in 

 the township. Grade sires are not discriminated against. Light horses 

 are mostly patronized. Carriage and general purpose horses, probably, suit 

 the farmers here best. 



Kenyor township is well provided with sires of both heavy and light 

 kinds; the breeds represented being Clydesdales, pure-breds, three; grades, 

 two; Shires, pure-bred, one; Percherons, grades, two; Hackney, pure-bred, 

 one; Coach grades, five; Standard-bred, pure-bred, one; and French Can- 

 adians, grades, two. Out of the seventeen, four are unsound and the aver- 

 age quality and conformation is only fair, only a few qualifying as good. 

 Mares are light in type, of poor quality and average 1,100 lbs. in weight. 

 Service fees have a range from |5 to flO. 



Not much can be said in favor of the sires standing in Lochiel town- 

 ship, but there is one very good horse. There is one grade, a Percheron, 

 and six pure-Vired^, four Clydesdales, and two Standard-breds. Six- 

 sevenths are sound. Their service fees vary from |5 to |15 ; mares are 

 about the same as in the other townships. 



Of the four stallions in Lancaster township there is only one really 'fair 

 pattern of a Iiorse. Three are sound or practically so. Two, an imported 

 Clydesdale and a Standard-bred, are registered, while a Suffolk PuEch and 

 a Conr-h are grades. The grades' fees are |6 and ST, and the pure-breds, 

 |10. Mares are small and poor, and there are very few registered Clydes- 

 dale mares.
