mart's. The stock from the native mares, 
tired to these horses, is too low—do not have

one I’erehorou mare that, he had in his sta¬ 
bles the past Mason would weigh ns much as 
the stallions and cost JSI.<>t>o. But such mart s 
are not easily obtained. 
These facts are important to breeders. 
There seems to be no limit to the demands 
for the heaviest draught horses—the heavier 
the better. In the course of the coining 
volume we hope to illustrate other types of 
the horses most in use and demand here.

stables. 
Mr. StOdoart, who receives at his stables 
consignments of English and French stallions 
and at whose stables most of tho imported 
horses find a home while they remain in the 
city, say-s lie has neither received nor seen 
any French or English importations that., 
in his estimation, equal the Clydesdale stal¬ 
lions found in the Canadian locality' named 
above. Yet the l’ercheron horses imported 
the past year (over 100 of which have passed 
through his stables to Illinois alone), he says 
are magnificent animals and will do a great 
deal to help furnish the markets with a bel¬ 
ter class of draught horses. He urges, how¬ 
ever, that we have enough of this class of 
stallions in this country now : that we need 
to import, more of the Porcheron and Clydes¬ 
dale mares. Only' eight of these French 
mares have been brought over the past year.

DRAUGHT HORSES 
There is a demand in this and in all large 
cities where heavy' trucking is done for heavy 
draught horses. Tl is demand is steady and 
continuous. The testimony of dealers here 
is that it is difficult to get horses heavy 
enough to meet the wants of those who seek 
them. Horses of good bone that will weigh 
from l,4f)0 to 1,000 pounds are always wanted 
and liud a ready sale at good prices. Horses 
of this weight should be from 10 hands to 16 
hands oue inch high. Horses of this luglit 
are preferred to horses of equal weight and 
less bight. In the trucking business it is 
found that the higher horses stand on their 
feet the better ; they are not swayed about as 
readily as horses of less bight by the Jost ling 
of colliding trucks and omnibuses.
