Channel, is the district known as Normandy. It comprises nearly seven mil- 

 lion acres, and is divided into five departments — La Manche, Calvados, Orne, 

 Eure et Loir and Sarthe. In the southeastern part of Normandy, and extend-

 70802, one of the greatest prize-winning and producing stallions ever raised in 

 France. The year of JUSQUE'S foaling, his sire was the first prize winner at 

 the great Percheron Society show, held at Nogent-le-Retrou, France. Etudiant 

 was afterward imported to America at one of the highest prices ever paid for 

 a Percheron in Europe, and is still in service on one of the great breeding farms 

 of America. 



JUSQUE'S dam, TIRELIRE 59522, was sired by the equally famous prize 

 winner and breeding stallion CRONSTADT, an intensely Brilliant bred Per-
