The Belfast Journal says The Norman
colts sired by young Duke are much sought
after. Horsemen from Knox and Kennebec
counties are picking up all they can find at
a good round price. Two have been sold to go
to Readfield this winter from Liberty village.
viz, one four years old and one two years old
for s225 and 1925 respectively We think
the farmers missed it When they lei the Duke
60, for as his colts mature they prove to be
the finest horses ever raised in this country.
There cannot be found single one of that
breed of three years old and upwards that can
be bought for $3.50, while many have sold at
from 200 to $500. One three years old
sold for $500 short time ago Croakers have
tried to cry the old horse down, but it is of no
use One hundred colts of the Dukes get
are worth to the farmers $500 more than the
same numb of any other breed, even if
there is one George o. in the lot. When
did farmer ever get fabulus price for
trotting horse in Waldo county; and when
was the time that he could not get good
horse that would weigh 1000 pounds and up
wards? But we do not mourn as those who
have no hope. The Duke is still owned
within our reach, viz. on Appleton Ridge,
Knox county. We propose soon to show
what fifty of his colts from two to five years
old have sold for, and then challenge the
country to produce a like number of the same
age of anv and all breeds in the country, that
