were removed in any large district the loss would hardly be noticeable, since the Percheron is so plentiful A Texas horseman says that without reserve he can recommend the Percheron as the best for the purpose of crossing with small range mares to get salable horses. From small range mares by Percheron sires fine-boned animals have resulted. To marvellous degree the Percheron has transmitted size, conformation, tractability and color through range mares
 With the circus man the gray color wins special favor In the first place dappled gray is the most impressive of any color. Then, as rule, the grays are the best feeders. They are also declared to be more serviceable than horses of other colors, especially in keeping sound and enduring the summer heat and vicissitudes of travel without sickness
 In the matter of price some buyers are willing to give as high as $20 DOT loo pounds extra for gray geldings, in preference to geldings of other eolors. This fact Is cogent reason why breed CTS should strive to raise grays.
The Monticellonian., 1916-01-27

The first importation of Percheron stock into this country was in New Jersey in 1889. This importation, con sisting of one stallion and two mares, was not attended with good success, TOT the stallion died at sea. and one mare was hurt from car shipment, while the other landed in poor health. MT. Edwin Harris. the importer, how ever, returned immediately to France and imported the two stallions, Dill igenee and Bonaparte, and several mares. Diligence in particular proved to be fine specimen of the breed. Following this, importations were made in 1851 and 1864 in Ohio and Massachusetts, respectively.
 It is now an accepted fact that the Percheron is the most popular of draft breeds in America. This is because he has good and docile disposition The ability to do all kinds of work on the farm and road with rapidity of walk. absence of long hair on the legs, sound, open feet, comparative ease with which he is mated because of uni- formity of color, are factors of his pop ularity. Take the British breeds of draft horses. If the British drafters
