of 1925 and repeat, at five years old /;
trotted quarters afterwards in 80 Sec

two seasons. Then his only colt train
ed up to this year was "Whirlwind, "
record 1924. This season we have
handled four two-year- by him, out
of nine he has of that age. One of these
died with the distemper, land any one of
the other three-two stations and one
tilly-can show forty gait easily, al
though lightly handled. One has trotted
a mile in 2 IA another in 2:46, and that
in July, and we offered to match the
three next season against any three
owned by one man and sired by the
same horse. Zilcadie Golddust's OPP
portunities in the stud have been the
poorest, | suppose, of any good stall
lions in America. He never served a
well-bred trotting mare till this year.
To show how he has improved in the
estimation of the public the last eigh-
teen months will only say that
the season of 1884 he had only ten
mares, while in 1885 he has had sixty
four.
One of these two-year-od stations by
him can be bought for about $1,000, and
think we can easily show a mile in
2:40 with him. He is a golden chest.

saw. A full brother (vearling) could
show us a quarter in fifty seconds, be-
ing led only two weeks. Every colt
Zilcadie gets is a natural trotler like
their sire, perfectly kind, gentle and
intelligent, still handsome and full Of
vim. Please note that the PAGER, Fan
CIV Golddust (2:25), is by son of Ole
Golddust."
We shall soon give history of the
Golddusts with illustrations. 1t would
be well if some of our breeders who gC
to Kentucky for stations would fol
once leave the big heads and COW tail
there and bring one of the swift an(
shapely Golddusls back to Vermont
from whence they sprung. AS a eros
for our native Morgans, such a hors,
would prove invaluable.

Letter from G. l.. Bristol.

From Mr.. G.. l.. Bristol, Indian
Trader and Breeder of Morgan Horses,
Fiegan Z. o Montana, we have the
following under date of Sept. II. We
had written him concerning the project
of uniting all the best existing strains
of Morgan blood;
W. III. BLISS, ESQ.
Dear Sir: Yours of Aug. s is at
hand and am very glad to hear from
you. and to hear in such positive terms
that "the Morgans will live" | have
always hoped that his might be so, but
have feared different result. | have
taken "The Maine Horse Breeders
Monthly" since it was started, and until
the last two years good share half
or over---of the advertisements were of
Morgan stsllious. Now not one
The method YOU speak of for perfect
ing the breed is excelent-far better
than in-breeding Lamberts, no matter
how good they are. The combination
you speak of will produce speed, give
added size and stronger vitality, and
maintain all the other Morgan qualities
far better than to breed altogether from
one family. | should like very much
to see "Galatea" for instance bred to
Daniel Lambert and then "Lucille
Golddust' and (she being old) breed
her to one OF his sons. L would like TO
see Daniel Lambert bred extensively to
the young daughters of Winthrop Nor
rill and plenty of them can he got.
The Morgan horse has been crossed
almost out OF existence. by tabulating
the pedigrees of Lambert or any of his
noted sons, we see AT a glance how eX-
ceedingly attenuated is the Morgan
bloc d. That Is why | would like to
see the Morgan lines doubled up and
strengthened. 1t would be grand
thing if Old Lambert could be bred
from this on to five or SIX mares each
year rery deep in the Morgan blood
even though not from noted strains :;
some such, for instance, as those oNued
a few years ago (before his financial
trouble) by Lawrence Brainerd of ST..
Adams. He or his brother, Porter,
owned "Charley," by IIale's Green
Mountain Morgan, out of IA daughter OF
Vermont Black IIawk, she ont of n

young mares out of mares by "Comet,"

Morgan crosses beyond Charley was

My idea is that in the present condition
of Morgan stock, the very first thing t.
do is TO preserve the blood. lu-breud-

Her driver offered to bet from 800 to

A Visit to Barnard and Woodstock

A Visit to Barnard and Woodstock.
In recent visit to Woodstock, we
stopped two nights at the hotel of Mr.
G. K. French of Barnard, house which
we have always been inclined to call
the best in the State. We met here a
number of very intelligent gentlemen
who were conversant with the history of
the Morgan horse of this locality. Mr..
French, the proprietor, now rs years
old, says that the Morgan horse was
the horse of this part of the country as
long ago as he could remember. The
majority of the stage horses were Nor.
gans. They were small. but would do
more DIRK and carry the stages through
better than any other horse in New
England. They endured hard work
and were easily kept. The first Nor
gan stallion that Mr.. French himself
remembered was the Clifford; he was
at Barnard when three years old
OS2O; came from Tunbridge. Mr.
French says: "The original Morgan
horse came from Hartford, Conn, to
Randolph. | never saw him."

Trees and Drought.


In looking over exchanges, in an ar
ticle on Forest Preservation" the eye
lights on the following statements: "It
is an accepted fact that trees attract rain; !;
that in sufficiently wooded districts and
areas Of country, droughts are OF less
common occurrence than in over cleared
sections" That the above is an accepted
theory with many) is admitted. That
it is an accepted fact is not true. The
worst drought experienced during the
past season was in the mountain region
of western Virginia and eastern Ken
lucky and Tennessee, a sparsely settled,
densely wooded district. Intense
drought in the densely wooded districts
of northern Michigan has prepared tho
way for the destructive forest fires
which have swept over that county.
During the last season southern Illinois
and Indiana, naturally forest region
and with large percentage of the land
yet in timber, have suffered severely by
drought, while the prairie region oi
much Of northern Illinois and Iowa hat
had an excess of rain fall. Enthusiast
on the subject Of forest preservation
and forest culture are apt to propounG
