ence, apparently, which others must
have who have owned more of this stock,
and who, therefore, should be in posi-
ton to tell us more. Mr.. Rowland,
see, falls into the common error of
thinking the Morgan a Psychological ami
NAL. There are scores of animals known
to me tracing to Justin Morgan through
every known line. OF course, neglect
and unscientic breeding have permitted
more deterioration than should have
occurred, but the register Is checking
this greatly. As you will see in the
paper sent, there are a number of farms
now devoting themselves to improving
this blood by select breeding. Perhaps
at the end of the present discussion, il it
turns out that Mr.. HOwland's view of
the placement of Morgan stock seems to
be held by others, | may ask your In
diligence to tabulate briefly evidence
available in Mr.. Battell's book to show
how virile and Wig porous Morgan blood
and Morgan stock both are.

breeding what its own friends think of

am bret der of pUre-bred HackDeys

the use of such stations as | am breed

of their half-bled progeny from Amerl-
can roadster mares, but because they
will prove the surest cross to produce

among our trotting families-and we
will have the best heavy harness horses

Mr.. Fits, an old resident of New
Haven. says: "The dam of Cooks Fly
ing Cloud looked to me very much like
a Morgan mare. She was brown with
snip, 1000 lbs, regular Morgan built, a
blocky, good mare, beautiful roadster.
He traded for this mare and a black
mare a gray gelding of about 1000
pounds to Isaac Atwood, New Haven.
Cook probably got this mare about 1917
and she was then about six or seven
years old; the black mare younger.
The Hackett Horse was a fine horse.
Sydney Mead of Middlebury bred to
him and raised the stallion that passed
to Wheeler. who took him later to Wis

stallion at about the same time, more
rangy but not as good horse"

small library and a drinking fountain,
and had been most generous in other
ways. The evening before his depar.
ture for his city home he was waited
upon by large delegation of the most
prominent citizens of the place, who
came to make some acknowledgment
of his generosity. The spokesman OF
the party delivered himself of a long
and highly eulogistic harangue, end

She wanted to think, as we general

when we could almost fancy ourselves
to have a dual identity. One Sarah
Rawdon seemed to hold an argument
with another Sarah Rawdon in this

known for nineteen years-her moth

little Sarah, to whom duty was before
everything else. That Sarah talked in
this way: Il am engaged to Charles
