stations was never settled, the
Ball Brothers, who owned Mont
gomery Chief, withdrawing their
horse on account of sickness on the
only occasion when they could
have met.
Among other great individuals
of the Chief family that have
proved their worth in hard fought
show ring battles are Montgomery
Queen and Bohemian King, both
the property of Powhatan Stock
Farm, and sold as weanIings and
two-year-old for 81 900 and 50, 800
respectively, which are record
prices. Bohemian King bids fair
to rival his sire, Bourbon King.
Montgomery Queen is by Mont
gomery Chief, as is American
Girl, the property of W. j. Roe,
of Oshkosh, Wis, and who made
her initial show in the East at the
Garden last fall. Another horse
owned by Mr.. Roe is Bourbon
Prince, by Bourbon King. which
has been a consistent winner and
which won another blue in the re-
cent gated class at the National.
Other great ones in long list of
prominent prize winners are the
three-year-old Marvel King, owned
by A. g. Jones, who has had most
of his classes at his mercy in Ken
lucky this year; Tattersalls, a
gelding once sold with his mate
for $1,000 and presented to Mrs.
Mary Baker G.. Eddy; Emerald
Chief, said by some horseman to
be the greatest of the Chiefs and
whose death when he had barely
reached mature development was
severe loss to Kentucky breeding
interests. He won first prize as a
three-year-old and reserve cham
pionship at the st. Louis Worlds
Fair. Cloud King and Golden
King, his stable companions, won
the thousand dollar stake at the
Blue Grass Fair last year for two
horses by the same sire, both be-
ing by Wilson's King, by Harrison
Chief.
The last four horses mentioned
were all bred by j. Gano johnson,
of Mount Sterling, KY, who is
fast becoming known as the wiz
ard of Kentucky gated saddle
horse breeding. Both he and Mrs. |
Gano johnson are enthusiasts.
The inscription on their letter
heads and in their catalogues
reads:-"Devoted to the cOnyersa-
ton of Harrison Chief and Indian
Chief Blood" To Gano johnson
is due, perhaps more than to any |
other man, the popularity that the
Chief family enjoys in Kentucky |
today. His foresight in breeding
is remarkable, and he can describe
with wonderful accuracy the type
and color of a colt that he is going
TO produce. This comes largely
from the knowledge that years of
study have brought to him and the
fact that he knows the dams and
heir characteristics for genera
ions behind his colt. In the four
1ear-old stallion, Golden King,
many believe he has the greatest
gated saddle stallion yet produced.

WINE the nedNy HAIRLESS 1OTSe
interests have undoubtedly suffer
ed during the last few years
through the growing use of the au-
tomobile, saddle horses have more
than held their own. A very
large percentage of the best saddle
horses in the East come from Ken
lucky, and many of the most not
able show winners of the three
gated sort-walk, trot and canter
come from the so-called gated"
saddle horse families.
The gated horse of Kentucky is
purely an American product, and
unlike any other saddle bred
horse in the world. He is very
flash and sensational in his up
standing beauty, and with his eX-
tremely heavy, high carried tail
and charger like presence is GER
tainly an impressive animal to
those who are favorably inclined
toward that type. The lean
necked, businesslike going hack
represents the type of saddle horse
most in vogue here in the East,
and preferred by the majority of
,equestrians the world over outside
of Kentucky and Missouri. Yet
the remarkable versatility of the
Kentucky gated horse is demon
strated by the fact that under a
different course of education the
breed has produced some of the
most finished specimens of the
~Swalk-trot" variety. In confor-
tmation and beautiful finish and in
action and way of going the Ken
lucky strains of gated bred horses
undoubtedly produce more good
ones for the Eastern market and
show rings than all other breeds of
horses combined.
Among the different families of
saddle horses in Kentucky the SEN
satiOn of the last ten years has
been the forging to the front of
the descendants of Harrison Chief,
a trotting bred stallion not until
recently recognized by the Amer
lean Saddle Horse Registry Asso-
citation. Denmark blood had, I'M
til the advent of champion per-
formers of the Chief family, been
the fashionable and universally
recognized fountain head of the
greatest Kentucky saddle horses.
General John B. Castleman was
one of the leading opponents of
Denmarks.
One of the first champions of
note of the Chief blood was Mont
gomery Chief, by Bourbon Chief,
by Harrison Chief, and out of
Annie, by Wilson's King, by Har-
rison Chief. This horse was an
inbred Chief, and when fully ma
tured was never beaten in the show
ring. His sensational ring career
and splendid individuality are still
within the memory of horse show
followers of recent years. His
full brother, Bourbon King, was
the next gated star to sweep
everything before him, and was
retired to the stud at North Mid
dletown, KY, by his owner and
developer, A. q. Jones, an un-
beaten champion. He was cOnsid-
cred by many a better saddle horse
type than Montgomery Chief, the
claim that the latter is trife har-
messy being the criticism lodged
against him. The question of SUI
premacy between these two great

II is fact that farmers will not
pay much of a premium for seed

loge has grown quite a considerable
quantity Of seed wheat. as Prof Mil.
Ter says, yet when one comes to seed
a county whore the quantity of wheat
grown Is as large even as II is in

the seed grown by the experimental

than that, the seed so grown is not
close to the farmers where they can

duct such a farm would buy his seed
