GREAT DISPLAY OF REGISTERED
DRAFT MARES AND STATIONS

The Jarosa Ranches at Longmont,
Colorado through the influence of bus
mess men and men most prominently
community decided to ship a consign-
ment of beautiful animals to Delta, to
distribute to farmers who appreciate
this kind of horses.
In conversation with Mr. Howard
Jay, one of the owners, who is here
in charge, We find that he has consid-
cradle data and statistical records to
prove beyond a doubt, the value of
owning this kind of mares. if properly
cared for. and the possible profit to
be derived therefrom-
1t is to be hoped that farmers who
can and are in a position to. will turn
out in goodly numbers an dsupport
this undertaking, with their bids, so
that our valley, like some other dis
tricts will become noted for its good
horses and especially the pure bred
registered kind. The sale will be held
tomorrow at one o'clock at the Har-
rington barn.
Many of these mares are two and
three year olds which will be ready to
breed and break, and are all grown
out in the open under the same con-
ditions that we would grow our stock
in this valley.
Mr.. Jay states that these mares have
all been vaccinated three times, ship
ped over in Palace cars thorough
ly disinfected. and every percaution
has been taken to avoid development
of contagious diseases and all amin
ais have passed veterinary examin.
alton for good health at the time of
loading
The animals all carry sixty days in
surance against death, through the
Capital Live Stock Insurance Co The
policy to go with each purchase for
this length of time free of charge.
Taking into consideration these
facts, the opportunity to buy this kind
of stock at public auction from such
local organization should be. appre-
ciated
4 glance at some of the ribbons
won by this ranch in several states
and the stock itself will convince you
of our reasons for enthusiasm
Delta located in the central part of
one Of the richest valleys in the state
should welcome and be proud of the
honor of assembling buyers at this
point for this kind of otsck
