John knows also that his life's motto is
that familiar phrase which expresses
briefly and to the point the wish that
Yale may be forever relegated to the re-

on every hand they saw the college seal
bearing this motto, Christie ct Eccle-

How These Splendid Draught Animals
Were First Produced.
The Clydesdales, perhaps the horses
most highly-esteemed by farmers, es-
pecially in the hilly countries, are
bred in districts bordering on the
Clyde, and owe their origin to one of
the dukes of Hamilton, who crossed
some of his best Lanark mares with
stations he imported from Flanders.
This breed is conspicuous for its high
courage, activity and endurance. Sew
eral years ago the late Gen. Peel told
me how successful he had been in mat
ing his thoroughbred Toxophylite with
Clydesdale mares.
'When you use," said he, q thor
oughbred for draught mares, always
use the biggest and best you have, and
you will be sure to produce draught
horses second to one Horses good as
Stockwell are not too good for Clydes-
dales. What i have bred will go on

particularly so when the new blood is
obtained from the thoroughbred-not

but from the very best-from ''horses
as good as Stockwell." The Clydesdale
differs from the Shire horse in that 1t
has a long, low back, short, fat ribs,
good, hard legs, and long pasterns,
which would seem to have been de-
| rived from a cross with a half-bred or
Thoroughbred horse. This certainly
is not a desirable conformation, and
our Scottish brothers have for several
years past i~noculated this breed by the
introduction OF the best Shire blood.

melancholy, to kill himself. He used
a charcoal fire. His servants burst
