The above classification, if carefully studied, will give the 
breeder a definite idea of what is desirable in an American car¬ 
riage horse. The classification is not intended to antagonize or 
conflict in any way with the classifications offered for individuals 
possessing the blood lines mentioned therein. The type desired is 
distinct from either those required in the American Trotter, Ameri¬ 
can Saddle or Morgan classification. 
SALE OR SURPLUS ANIMALS. 
The animals used in connection with the breeding operations 
at the station, along with their offspring, are inspected annually 
by a Board of Survey consisting of Mr. Geo. M. Rommel, Chief of 
Animal Husbandry Division, U. S. Department of Agriculture; 
Professor C. F. Curtiss, Director of Iowa Experiment Station, 
and the officer in charge of the breeding establishment, with a 
view of determining the producing qualities of the various animals 
in the stud and the progress made during the preceding year. In 
the past the inspection has resulted in the elimination of some of 
the original herd of mares and many of the offspring produced at 
the station and placing them on sale to the public at auction. The 
animals eliminated from the stud in this manner are sold without 
reserve and also without obligation on the part of the station to 
the buyer after the animal is sold. 
STALLIONS IN SERVICE. 
The stallions described herein will be allowed to stand for 
public service to a limited number of approved mares.
