j!7 . - < HORSEMEN The breeding season is nearly here. The time is here when you who have use for a stallion are looking ground and inspecting the horses that will be offered for service in your territory. M hat kind of a horse are you looking for? Maybe you are a good judge of a horse. Some men seem to be natural horsemen, others would not know nor appreciate a good animal if they were around them all their life. W hen you buy something do you ask the price first, or do you see the article first ? Do you want what you want and pay the price, or do you take what you don’t want because you think it is cheap? I say (think it is cheap) because what you pay the least money for is sometimes the least profitable. If you pay SIO.OO for an article worth $5.00, are you better off than paying $20.00 and getting full value? Price alone never made cheapness. Price in comparison with value received is what you should look at when buying anything. You as an educated farmer or stockman know the quality of the crops or stock you raise. You know the kind the market demands. The kind the buyers pay the most money for. Is that what you grow? If you do, do you want to stand still or do you want to improve still more? If you don’t raise that kind, do you think there is more money’in it or don’t you care? What do the farm journals tell you? What do the agricultural agents tell you? What do your best home men tell you? Now when it comes to choosing a stallion, if you possibly can, be the judge yourself. If you can’t, then take the advice of some free-minded man who does NOT own a stallion and who has proven himself capable of giving advice. I have brought in a couple of horses that I think are good ones. I don’t think there are two better horses of the breed offered for service in this state. LENOIR-—Pure Bred Percheron Stallion. Took 6th place in his class at the International of 1913. Wt. 2290 lbs. BROWDA KlNG—Pure Bred Shire Stallion. Took sth place in his class at the International of 1913. Ayt. 2175 lbs. Come and look them over. You are the judge. It is for you to say if you will support horses of this kind here or if you something cheaper. They will stand the season of 1914 at Syracuse. Chas. C. Myers SERVICE FEE—S2O.OO insuring colt to stand and suck. MAKE DATES BY TELEPHONE NO. 166.
