And One Of Great Importance to Farmers
and Stockmen.

men. The two last named especially
being too well known, among our
farming community, to need any In
PRODUCTION or endorsement. Mr..
Dickinson who is the very efficient
and competent manager of the vast
stock, dairy and other interests of the
Minnesota Agricultural Company i'll
this county, is one of the prime moves
i'll this new enterprise. His many
years of practical experience, COM
bined with knowledge of the merits
and dement's of all the best classes,
grades, breeds and varieties of horses
is guarantee that the horses selected
to compose the stud owned by this
company, will be such as are the most
desirable and best fitted and adapted
to the wants, needs and purposes of q
farming community.
That the association intends their
enterprise to be q a permanent one,
in not alone evinced by the selection
of horses hereinafter described, but al.
so by the character oflthe first building
erected. This stable Is both complete
in arrangement and equipment and
not only attractive in exterior design,
but also we'll and thoroughly finished,
painted and completely adapted for its
purposes throughout its cOmmodiOus
ami conveniently arranged interior.
Right here We may say that our
farmers are only just beginning to re-
alize the Importance and economy OF
All improved breed of horses, andlnow
recognize the fact that it Is rs es-
sentially necessary to have their
horses possess qualities naturally At
ting them for their especial tasks, as
it is to have different machines for
various classes of work.
We would call special attention to
the ages of the horses as severally de-
scribed, as they are one and all not
only magnificent specimens of the
highest grades oflimported horse-hesh,

breeding stock namely: they are
sound clean and vigorous. This is
important and is one of the marked
characteristics of this stud. 1t is onl y
the vigorous and sound sires that
transmit to and imprint upon their
offspring those qualities that in them
selves are most priced and desirable,
and hence it is of advantage to breed
ers to haveit within their power
to secure the services of this class of
| animals.
The horses and their pedigree are
as follows:
BROWN STOUT.
This is magnificent horse years
old and Weighing 1900 pounds and was
imported by Gailbrath Bros. ofJanes-
vile Wis. This horse is one of the
finest specimens of the English draft,
and in the well knit frame, massive
limbs, powerful chest and muscular
build, the eye can see an animal of
great strength and endurance. His
pedigree is rs follows:

Eastern Railway Company at Hull

Stallion imported from France in 1882
and is years old weighing 22l0

build, clean limbed, and shows ac-
tivity in every movement.
CoLLoNNA JR.
Is a Hambletonian, is years old o
handsome dark bay, and like all of
this class of well bred driving horses
is beauty. His pedigree. rs well as
that of any of the other horses owned
by this association will be furn shed
on application to any of above named
parties and when it is said that Col

Rysdyks Hambetonian, it is proof Of
his pure breeding.
While each of the above described
horses, have distinctive features, yet
they are one and all specially adapted
for farm uses and purposes. They
have been selected by experienced
horsemen. well versed in the require

their fitness for their especial work,
and the different breeds are selected

may be suited as that the main |
feature of economic value and worth |
may also be of profit to the public.
To require or expect that inferior
and poorly bred horses will do the
