His great-grandsre, the king of all sires,
was the first Morgan horse ever known.
His dam, the Lady Clinton, was pur-
chased on Long Island in 1913 by j.
johnson at great expense, for the sole
purpose of breeding, and brought to this
country. Her sire was the astonishing

Eclipse which challenged the world in
course. Long Island, then and there beat

stations. The dam of Morgan Caesar
was sired by the unrivaled imported and
original English horse, Quicksilver,
whose superior has never been brought
from England. He was formerly owned

FARMERS BEAUTY-The pedigree of
Farmers Beauty cannot be beaten. He
was sired by the old Clifford horse of
Walpole. n. H., whose death last fall
caused so much to be said in the papers
by the way of regret in losing a public
treasure, etc. His dam was blood bay
Burbank Morgan mare of superior speed
and action. and by such combination
am ready to substantiate the fact that
there is not another horse now living who
inherited more of the genuine Morgan
blood than the Farmers Beauty. He
was bred at Wells River. VT. and is of a
dapple chestnut color; is nine years old;
weighs about 100 lbs, and can trot his
mile in three minutes (see certiticate), or
100 miles in ten hours Gin proper cOnd-
tom is perfectly kind in harness, safe
to handle by any one, and the most per-
feet broke horse in every respect that can
be produced. He is of great muscular
power, as you may Judge from the rep
rescntation above. which is correct like
ness. 1t is not necessary for me to re-
peat to the public the merits of the Gift
ford horse stock. as it has long been ac-
knowledged that they excel all others as
roadsterS in this or any country: but
name a few to show to the public their
speed a. well as great endurance. namely,
the Henry Clay, spoken of below, sold at
$1,000: the chestnut horse owned by
Robt. Abel of Pawtucket sold for $780,
time 40: the noted Beppo (time, :32
l-2), Lady Sutton (time. , :29), sold in
1919 for S4400: also another sold at auc-
ton in Massachusetts for S2200; also the
Green Mountain Morgan, owned by Silas
Hall. and many others too numerous to
mention. will now call the attention
of the farmers to few facts in regard to
wards of a hundred names to certificates,
men who are allowed to be the best
Judges of horses in New England. In the
first place he should be called the premi-
UNI stock horse, as it is well known that
he was the only horse at our late State
fair whose stock drew the first dollar of
premium. In view OF these facts | have
deemed proper to offer a challenge of
$500 to any one in this State (and might
extend it 70 the border States with safe
ty) to compare stock with my horse.
Those not acquainted with his stock are
requested to read the certificates below,
which are from sources that cannot be
questioned. believe there is not one of
his colts Give years old this season. that
can be bought for 500. | have repeat
eddy offered $50. (The rest of this pos
ter is torn off. Old Clifford died in 1850.
