AMONG FARMERS


The farmers of Polk county should
congratulate themselves on the oppor
tunity offered them for the improve
ment of their draft horses, another
pure bred Percheron stallion having
been added to the list during the past
month. The French government has
always taken an interest in the i'm
provement of horses never equaled by
any other nation. 1t is a well known
fact that during the feudal ages
France maintained her superiority
over all other European countries in
respect to the production or horses.
We can trace the origin Of the Per-
cheron breed back to these times, and
reliable authorities even trace it cen
turies beyond the crusades. Since
then by subsidies and prizes, the gov
ernment has encouraged in every pos
sible way the breeding of Percheron
horses. 1t has done much to secure
that combination Of strength, endur-
ance, activity and docility for which
the breed is so noted, and which has
placed it in the front rank of excel
lence among draft breeds of the
world.
The Percheron is the king of draft
horses. They are model draft horses
and are par excellence the breed for
moving heavy weight with great ra-
pidity. Bred with so great uniformi-
ty for so long a time, the Percheron
horse imparts to his progeny his val
liable characteristics with surety
and precision not equaled by any 9th
er breed. So fixed is their type that
they are the most prepotent and i'm
pressive of all the draft breeds in ex-
istence. Possessed of their valuable
qualities, their colts uniformly com
mand a higher price than those of
any other breed.

j. B. Stump, VIM. Riddle and A. H.
Holman recently bought from the
Thos. Mclaughlin Importing company
of Oakland, California, the stallion
Loquace, one of the largest and heav-
lest boned Percherons ever imported,
and he is now under the management
of Mr.. Holman of Buena Vista. The
animal was foaled April 20, 1911, and
was bred by M. Meunier, department
of Orne. The animal has been ap-
proved by the French government. AT
the California state fair last year he
carried away second honor, and would
have, the judges stated, taken first
premium had he been better groomed
by his exhibitor. The Polk county
men paid $4,000 for this horse.

Mr.. B. F. Burge, the well known
breeder of Rickreall, was in Dallas
on Tuesday, and while here told The
Observer that he had just purchased
from Manchester, Iowa, three-year-
old Percheron filly, the ancestry of
which animal has long string of
prize winnings, her sire being Etudent
and her dam champion of the Inter
national Horse show. This mare is
from the farm Of Mr.. Frank Smith,
whose place the writer has visited on
more than one occasion, it being with
in the balliwick where he first saw the
light of day. Mr. Smith is one of the
foremost Percheron breeders on this
continent. The price paid for this
animal was $3.50 in Iowa. Mr.. Burge
has sixteen pure bred Percherons, at
the head of the list being the well
known stallion, Old Universal, who
has probably taken more prizes than
any other horse in the state.
