Better Horses in North Jasper Every Year.

A. S. Keen has just added a mighty fine Percheron stallion to his breeding stables. The colt is only 2% years old and weighs 1,60 Q pounds. He is native bred but a fuH-blooded Percheron and Albert has the papers for him and «ays he is one of the best draft horses that neighborhood has ever had. He traded in part payment a half Belgian and half Norman colt that “was related to many of the fillies in that part of the county. All Jasper county is improving its draft stock. There seems to be no good harness stallions, however, in the county, and a horseman in speaking with the writer a few days ago said it was really ,a pity that there were not two or three firstclass harness horses seasoning in the county this year. There is apt •to be a dearth of this class of stock in the future.
