Mr.. A. F. Kendall of Jackson showed
stallion 16 wears old, and three of his get, as
we'll as the dam of the produce. The five
animals are kept at home in one enclosure,
and been kept that way for years. The sire
was by Young Ledo, and the dam looks like
French Kanuck mare, but that she throws
fine looking colts there can be no doubt.
Although none of the animals are standard
or registered they all won first prize in the
draft horse class. Mr.. Kendall has owned
the stallion from birth, and says that as a
two--year-old he earned his living and has
worked hard on the farm ever since, but
has sired some good colts for the neighbors
as well as for himself in the meantime.
