There are, however, many cases on record of mares that have proved unusually pro- lific and profitable. The following mares are worthy of note, as. Fig. 39. Delia 65193, an uncommonly fine Percheron brood mare at nineteen years of age. Fourth-prize mare ten years old or over in large-class Eastern Percheron Breeders' Show, igi8. Owned by M. E. Lyons, Delaware, Ohio. From photograph by the author having played important parts in building up some of the best American studs. Fany 20458, owned by L. W. Orr of Minne- sota, proved in foal every year between 1901 and 1916 inclusive and raised 12 colts, 7 of which sold for ^5000. Among the noted brood mares of Mark VV. Dunham were Constance 1478 (1425), having 9 colts in twelve years ; Linda 2571 (1521), producing 10 colts in fourteen years; and Janecia 2768 (1368), dropping 7 foals in ten years. Most of these foals were very superior and brought high prices. In the ownership of the Stetsons of Illinois, Flora 1119 raised 15 colts in eighteen years, and Zoe 1142 in about the same time dropped 10 colts.
