NELSON jA. • • Is a beautiful Black Stallion, 16X hands high, 4 years old, and weighs 2,140 pounds, great bone and feet, best of muscle and the greatest ' mover conceivable. He has a beauhead, tine eye, and is the best all-round Draft Stallion in America. He was undefeated the leading fairs, ineluding the American Royal Live Stock Show at Kansas City, Mo.,and the Great International ■EM at Chicago, in 1906, which shows him to be the p: greatest colt in America. He was imported from wßi ... i. Belgium in the spring of 1906. by J. Crouch & '■Xi'flSf r '* ''WgLJaM JBm Sdn, proprietor of the Lafayette Stock Farm, at Lafayette, Indiana. Hi* (ire was Trappiste No. 20300, and he was imported by J. Crouch & Son, in 1904, and was shown at the Louisiana Purchase Exhibition, or. World’s Fair, at St. Louis, in that year He won first and grand championship and was the Champion Belgian Stallion of the World. Trappiste weighed 3,400 ppunda. and was the greatest breeder in America. He was sold to a company of men at Livermore, Cala., for <5,000, and the company liad the misfortune to lose Trappiste last fall, after serving over 100 mares at S4O for the season. At a horse fair held at a short time ago, t)ie procession was headed by a boy carrying the banner of the dead Trappiste, and on the banner werb the words, "Trappiate, 7 the Greatest Draft Horse ia the World, and the Greatest Breeder.’’ NELSON is much like his sire in color and conformation and will mature to about the same weight. I purchased Nxlson at a great cost, but knowing that Jasper County was awakening up and trying to raise good horses, and as the best is none too good for my neighbors and friends, I bought the very best I could find. Good horfei are just as easily raised as commpn ones. The Belgian Draft Horse has fast Corhe to the front and is now known to be the greatest draft horse in the world. Come and see this great horse, aS we will taka great pleasure io showing him to jrou. Be at Hemphill's Sjtud Barn every day but Monday. On Monday’s at my farm.
