The subject of our illustration is the famous prize-winnibg stallion at the head ot the Maple Grove Stud. Fre mont, Neb., Mark M. Coad, Prop.. - Turc, French number 6539, American number 10,052, is a cole black stallion, 5 years old, weighing over one ton. He has a white star on Ms forehead, and is an exceedingly showy animal, clean in limb, with a fine gait. He is unques tionably one of the finest stallions in the west. A peculiarity of his colts is that they are always black,with a white star on the forehead no matter what the color of the mother may be. In 1889, 1890, 1891 and this J ear. Turc was at the head of the herd, winning first prize at the Nebraska state fair for a show herd, consisting of stallion, four mares, and four of the issue of the mares and stations competing. This speaks volumes for the horse and his breed and it may bo well to remark here that in none of these exhibits had any stallion of any breed shown colts to compare with those sired by "Turc." The superiority of the Percheron aj the grandest stock of draft horses in ex istence is generally acknowledged, and for all purposes where great strength and endurance is required they are conceded to be invaluable. In this re spect the Percherons given universal satisfaction to their purchasers, and proved themselves worthy descendants of a grand stock. With the Percheron the best results seem aleo to be obtain ed, as is attested year af er year by the splendid specimens of the colts, who continually prove the greatest prize winners, and there seems to be no ques- ion but what they hold their own better than other breed'. That as fine animals can be raised in Nebraska as in any part of the world wbs fully de monstrated by Mark M. Coad's mag nifi cent herd. . . - . : - A GREAT OFFER.
