I have tried to be very careful with
this pedigree, because / know that
nearly one hundred farmere. (who
ought to have this paper to keep have
fillies from this horse. Some Of these
fillies' dams were sired by "Slyfoot."

mares. II mated right they will be
the foundation of q family Of trotters
that will make Allen county famous
and most earnestly beseech owners of
such to not part with them at any

do not know what they have got

editor Of the PEaIsTER who goes to
the trouble to publish these letters,

their firesidss and read all about the
breeding Of their pet colt, which has
developed into such marvel of speed
and beauty, that the owner says TO
himself: "Money can't buy that mare.
How I wish I knew her breeding!
What O fool I was not to keep the
breeders card of her sire and grand
sire!"

with such fillies, and these copies of
the REGISTER are very valuable to
horsemen in this vicinity. When

IsTER tell him how you value his
paper on account of these pedigrees,
and mark my words, he will say, "It
is always my aim to make The REG
IsTER of the greatest possible value to
its subscribers. no matter what the
cost.
