These young stallions are in color Gray, Bay, Brown and Black. They are a gilt edged lot, bred from the best of dams and sires and will develop into $500 or $600 horses. In the stud they will cover just as many mares at just as high a service fee as a stallion that will cost $2,500. The Brood Mares ars right in their prime and are first-class breeders. They will do a farmers' work and at the same time pay for themselves every year in the colts they raise.

The Geldings will make horses that will weigh from 1,500 to 1,800 pounds, good track horses.

There is no stock in which one can invest at the present time and make as much money as he can on colts or young horses for they will be ready for market right in the zenith of the horse boom. Next spring horses will bring 100 per cent. more than they will now.

TERMS OF SALE: Cash or bankable notes on one year's time at seven per cent. interest.
