Zony. the brother of well known Hun
garian deputy. was siXty-fve. detested
women and was on bad terms with all
his relatives. Although the owner Of
a great deal of land. he lived so fru-
gally that he did not spend the tenth
part Of his income
In his will he bequeathed all his real
and personal property to his twelve
draft horses. AS executors of the will
he named the Society For the Protec-
ton of Animals at Budapest. stipu-
lating that the interest on his property
should be devoted to the care of these
twelve animals and that upon the
death of one Of them another aged
horse was to be taken in and cared
for so that the number of twelve
might always be maintained.

mails that will bring me in very large
returns. What type Of stallion would
you advise me to use upon these grade
Percheron mares?
Reply: Our reader has what might
be called gold mine. The Montana
climate is especially wen adapted to
the production of high grade draft AMI
mails. Then. too, we find that there
Is always market for these animals.
BY all means we would advise the use
of a pure bred and well bred Per.
cheron stallion. We would secure q
stallion that has a long line of noted
ancestors and in addition to this we
would secure very good individual.
The stallion should have a clean cut
face, large bright eye and be wide be-
tween the eyes, He should have q
medium short neck, large, we'll filled,
deep body and well placed and strong
sound legs. The animal should be
able to travel well and he should have
large amount of vigor and stamina.
We would use this stallion upon our
grade mares and train the horses for
the market II we desired to increase
our herd we could save some Of the
mare colts and upon these, mares
breed another Percheron stallion. By
the continued use of pure bred draft
animal we would be able to secure, in
a very short time, a very high bred
herd. We would not. however, be able
to secure a pure bred herd, because
pure bred animals are not made by
breeding pure bred sire upon grade
animals.
