From circular issued 10y the Company,
We quote the following paragraph
The demands Of our country for a larger,
more powerful, dGcile. easily kept and
more slightly horse for agricultural, family
or general purpose, seems to he apparent to
every casual observer. Our country is
filling with improved labor-saving imple-
mcnts and machinery of all kinds, and
our teams are inadequate to meet these, inn
proyements; or, III other words, we have
the carts before the horses" The desire
OF the progressive is to plow deeper and
guard against drought, pull more Ut one
load aud go fewer times get docile horse
for family driving aEi save expense OF
drivers; gel, horse with good digestive
powers, and he will eat less and always
look better; get horse built to stand hard
work and move easily along the road, and
he will always take kindly TO his task, be-
cause he is l. YstitutonalIy and naturally
suited to this work.
The Norman Percheron Horse, crossed
upon our common stock has proven to ill
oil the above requirements in larger degree
than from any other breed. This breed of
horses, having q s.rong infusion of Arab
blood and well established, always impress
ses itself on cross, and is well suited 10
our climate anil short fare.
The company has also purchased a num-
Der of mares for individuals in this County,
and they are giving perfect satisfaction.
The gcnt.em II composing this company
have displayed considerable Enterprise in
bringing ;hesc valuable horses into our
section. and W. are grat;icd to state that
their success So far has been beyond their
most san:.uinc espectation Ii will not be
long before our country will be stocked
with the very best horses, and this together
with our pIosTessivencSs i'll other cnterpri-
ses, will more justly cnitc us 10 claim
ours rs the banner section Of the Stutc."
We commend the merits Of the Norman
Pcrchcron horses to our farmers, and trust
that those who have mares will at once
commence raising their own stock.
Mr.. J. G. Stribling, Pendlcton, S. G., is
President Of the Company, and Mr. J. ID.
Maxwell, of this city, Secretary and Treas
urer. Persons desiring information in re-
gard to the horses should address them.
