Public Sale of Percherons-Tbe pub
lie sale of Percheron .stallions and
mares on Dec. 18th last at Rock
Rapids. Iowa. bred by 81. G.. Nc
MILAN, resulted in disposal of twenty
head at an average price of 1888. rs.
The youngest animal sold will be two
years in the spring, and only one was
that young, the others ranging from
to years old. They were all pure
bred. Mcmillan is not given to breed
ing any other kind and being home
bred is in their favor rather than
otherwise. The highest price OBJ
tanned was for the stallion Sultan.
foaled April, 1901, who sold for 1896.
One sold for 1926, one for $685., one
for $500 and one for $435, and the
others for 1916 down to 5000, and the
prices are said to be very satisfactory
to the seller.
w. L. DeClow of Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, a..heavy importer of Percherons,
Belgians, German Coachers and Span
ish Jacks, says in his ad:
my object is to make my place the
farmers supply of the middle west and
sell direct to farmers If you want
q company In your neighborhood, or
ganize yourselves and come to my
barn and buy better horse for $500
than others are perhaps trying to sell
you for twice the money"
I am in receipt Of an article written
from North Dakota, which runs In
part as follows:
"Our people had spelendid chance
to have a company formed for them
to buy q certain draft stallion. The
chance was in the shape of q nice
appearing, honest looking gentleman.
he said if We would form the COM
pany and make the deal quick he
would sell US his $500 horse for 5000,
and::6nally came down to $500. Well,
we got together. barred out the
honest looking gentleman. formed q
company, appointed committee of
two to go out into the world and see
what good horse could be bought
for, the result is We now have STALL
ion for $500, ircluding..expenses, that
good judges say ia better horse than
we-might have bought for $780,
One horse dealer says in his ad:
''Bewa1e Of the horse that is
brought to you to sell, for it is always
the interiors of every herd that are
sent out. The ones that won't stand
up In competition with good horses
are sent out alone and will look ALL
right where there's nothing to show
up against them.''
Well, Mr.. Horse Dealer said in his
article that they were Offering the
cream Of pure bred horses at prices
that were right, but we are inclined
to believe that the cream was offered
without price, for che of our 6nan-
cially we'll fixed up-to-data business
men was offered share for nothing,
absolutely nothing, and the general
supposition is that the parties who
did subscribe, as they are financially
we'll fixed and up-to-date business
men, got their shares for the same
price-nothing.
This Is what might be called the
cream, but the fellow who puts up
his note for 500. : and who perhaps
might never get one dollars worth of
benefit for 1t. this I believe, would
have to be called the SKINNED milk or
the skinned Mike, if you like.
