Developing an American Utility Horse. 5 mares and the Standardbred stallion Carmon 32917, a famous horse formerly o^^Tied by Thomas W. Lawson, of Boston, Mass. The mares selected for foundation stock were bred along lines knowTi to be excel- lent for the production of horses of the utility type. The selections, however; were made on t^-pe rather than on breeding, although some of the mares were registered in the Standardbred and Saddle registers. An effort was made to obtain only those animals whose breeding was in lines that produced the utility t^-pe and which were of the desired type themselves. Since the begmning of the experiment in 1904 careful selection has been made of the progeny produced and only those adhering closely to the type desired were retained for breeding Fig. L—View of the United States-Wyoming horse-breeding station, Buffalo, Wyo. The stallions used in this work have been Standardbred only, the stallions Carmon 32917, Cedar Red 01486, Loyal D. 50088, Wilmering 48569, and Harvest Aid 63908 having been used up to the present time. The latter stallion has just recentlv been added to the stud and a number of station mares were bred to him in 1919. The results of these matings will be observed with a great deal of interest, as it is hoped that this well-bred stallion will ^'nick'' well with the mares at the station and prove to be a fitting successor to his illustrious predecessor, Carmon. The breeding of Harvest Aid 63908 will please the most fastidious, and as an individual this stallion combines si^.e with speed and a marked degree of quality. This stallion should be prepotent, as he is richly bred in bloodlines of great producers. His sire is the famous champion trotting stallion The Harvester 43637 (), and his dam Santos Maid (|) is one of the best-producing m^atrons by the most famous of living American trotting sires, Peter the Great 28044 (|).
