RECORD $40.
The Large Bay Stallion l6 hands high,
weight 1890 lbs, will make the season Of
1899 at the Alleman Barn, Cresco, Iowa.

The question suggests itself, what
make it the best paying investment.
Judging from results of sales in the
eastern market and the great and
growing foreign demand, and the
animals that bring remunerative
prices at home, and what our local
buyers tell us, we are compelled to
come to the conclusion and say there
are but two classes of horses that are
in strong demand and bring the pay
ing price, viz, the heavy draft
weighing from 400 to 1000 lbs, and
the good sized, high acting, we'll bred
trotting horse, the type of horse SO
generally called coacher.
The question now presents itself,
what shall we patronize to expect
that type of horse. Watching cas-
tern sales and obtaining all the infor-
nation l have been able to find in
stock journals, l am led to the con-
cluslon that the qualities that 20 to
make up the model roadster or coach
horse are from no source transmitted
with such uniformity and certainty
as from the large and we'll bred good
acting trotting stallion. They breed
quality that cannot be got from any
other source.
/ have just noticed New York
sale of 105 head, every one of them
trotting bred coachers, that sold for
great average prices. 1t is a certain
type of horse with the right kind
of action that makes him coach
horse, and you may search horse
journals, gather all the wisdom and
information you can and you will
in hn Nf H.,
coachers possessing quality that Is
required to make a real coach horse,
are bred from large well-bred trot-
ting sires.
Lisburn, sired by the great Wood
ford Wilkes and his dam Flash, who
is a producer and in the great brood
mare list; his grand dam producer.
He is conceded by horsemen the
equal of any horse in point of breed
ing, and his produce are large, sty-
fish, great knee and stifie actors ard
show great natural speed and are
picked up as fast as they arrive at
marketable age at extra prices. If
you think different, go and try to
buy one of them at marketable age.
We further assert that Lisburn is the
best bred trotting stallion in north
ern Iowa. Can outact any stallion in
Howard County, or outtrot any stall
lion in Howard County of similar
weight. On account of his size he
has never been conditioned for rae
ing, although he has been driven
Fights 2:16 gait and quarters a 2:1S
gait, giving unmistakable evidence
of having succeeded to the great
speed of his royal ancestry.
The value of every stock horse
must pc determined by his produce.
Lisburn's produce are all that could
be expected from any horse, consid-
ering the class of mares he has had
access to. His colts have averaged
better prices than any other colts
ever foaled in the county, / consider
his chief value as sire, lies in the
fact that he has the size, acting and
speed producing qualities combined,
which gives the breeder an equal
chance for speed, and failing in speed
he has size and a good acting and
salable Individual.
