MOREY IN THE “GOOD" KIND.

James Walter Sells Ten Colts, Four Yearlings and Six Spring, for fI,OSO. That there is good money in raising the right kind of horses is shown by the sale of ten colts last week raised by James Walter of north of town. These colts were all the product of one. horse, “Marengo,” a Percberon Norman Stallion known hereabouts as the Leek ft Lane horse. Mr. Walter has raised 12 colts in the past two seasons from six mares. They are good mares and he got good colts. He hgd bred to this same horse heretofore but got ho results until William Ervin, who is conceded to be the best stable horse manager in this section of the state, was given the management of Marengo, and he attributes much qf his success to Mr. Ervin’s intelligent management of the sire of these colts. Marengo % was imported from France by C. M. Moots of Normal, HI., and last week Mr. Moots was over here to buy some of Marengo's colts. He went out to Mr. Walter’s and bought six 8-months-old colts and four yearlings and paid him $1,060’ spot cash for the ten. Mr. Walter still has two yearlings left, which is not doing bad for two seasons from six mares that have done most of his work on the farm during this' time, and Bhows conclusively that it pays to breed to good horses and raise the good kind of colts.
