the chain of ancestry, and the sire or dam
having this weak heritage will not Trans
nit, to his or her progeny, the quality OF
the best ancestors. Their produce VIII,
like their ancestors, consist OF a mixed
iot. many OF which are not worth food and
stable room. The sire or dam with an un-
broken chain OF speed producing ancestry
for four generations, each one OF the AMI
mails possessing every essential quality de-
sired in its produce, VIII have notnlng IN
desirable to transmit, and the offspring
must and will be Of superior merit ana
will command the admiration OF the con-
noisseur and the purse of the wealthy pur-
chaser.
VERY few farmers have at their COM
mand a brood mare with four generations
OF speed producing ancestors, all having
every desirable quality wanted IN her
produce Treasures OF this kind are not
plenty. It is due to bad management IN
the past that such are not found on every
farm in Vermont. Remember that Tour
of the first six 2.30 performers we're de-
scendants of Justin Morgan, and had YER
mont farmers kept the best mares by MS
hest sons and continued to breed from the
best only, Vermont would now, as former
ly. lead the world in the great industry OF
producing the superior roadster ana last
trotter. The writer of this articie,
mont on an equality with other sections OF
the state. has placed the Wilkes stallion,
Galen Prince, before the farmers for their
Inspection. He was foaled in 1850, IS
beautiful bay, 16 hands, weight l, 100, is OF
cheerful. pleasant disposition, ever ready
to respond to the will OF his driver. he Is
by nature perfectly balanced In his trot-
ting action, requires no pulling or ciup-
bling on the road or race track ana is per-
oil m rAQdEfRT
or trotter. including speed. Good Judges
who have carefully watched his develop
ment are free to state that they believe,
with good opportunity, the present stat
lion record will be lowered by Galen
prince. He was broken to harness the
winter previous to his four -year-old form
and had but little work. His ilrst race the
next season was his first trial In company,
in which he was second in three straight
heats; time 2.3S, 2.SS, 2-3s 81. Ibis was
