CLYDESDALE STALLION “LORD CLYDE ."—Drawn and Engraved for the American Agriculturist. 
Tlie race of Clydesdale, so called because 
they are principally produced in tlie Valley of 
the Clyde, in Scotland, is supposed to have 
originated from a cross between the Flemish 
stallion and the native mares of the country. 
The animals of this race, while very large, have 
remarkable activity, and move with great 
promptness under very heavy loads. The char¬ 
acteristic length of body and bight of shoulder 
are well shown in the animal above figured. 
Unlike some other large races, the Clydesdales 
have well-developed feet with remarkably strong 
hoofs, which are important points in a heavy 
draught-horse. The colors are usually bay, or 
brown, but gray and black sometimes occur. 
The Clydesdales are especially docile and intel¬ 
ligent, and these qualities, combined with their 
great strength and activity, make them prized 
for farm work. Experiments were made at the 
School of Agriculture, at Versailles, in 1850, in 
which two Clydesdale mares were put at the 
same work with two each of Suffolk, Percheron, 
and Boulogne mares, and it was found that the 
two Clydesdales would do the same work as 
three animals of the other races. On the other 
hand the two consumed as much food as three 
others. Lord Clyde, of which w*e present an 
engraving, is a fine specimen of his race. He 
is now owned by Wm. Crozier, Esq., Beacon 
Stock Farm, Northport, L. I. His color is a 
dapple bay, with a heavy black mane and tail; 
his legs are all black, and he has a small star in 
the forehead. He stands 16 hands high, and 
weighs over 1,700 pounds. His sire was 
“Lord Clyde,” bred by Mr. S. C. Crawford, 
Lanarkshire, Scotland, and he was by Craw¬ 
ford’s celebrated Clyde, winner of the first prize 
of the Highland Agricultural Society, and sold 
to the Douglass Society for £ 460 sterling. The 
present “ Lord Clyde ” took the first prize, with 
diploma, at Hamilton, Canada, and has be¬ 
sides taken several prizes at local fairs.
