V 3 N THE ADAIR COUNTY NEWS . .,...,.'; t'lA.F.e,.r,."Si'.i't'''i ""' uKaeyyigyj mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmskm GRADYVILLE STOCK FARM 7 mfmM .p t NOBLE PEACOCK No. 6828, will make theeason of 1915 at $10.00 to insure a mare with foal." Noble Peacock has proven himself to be the best breeder in Southern Kentucky. - His ftrst colts were shown at the Columbia Fair in 1913, and won the blue tie every time they entered the ring, defeating a number of colts by some of the most noted horses of Kentucky. Some of them by Rex Monroe, of Springfield, Ky., a horse that standsfor $50.00, and some by Bald Chief, that stands for 25.00. My plan is to Live and Let Live, and I have this to say to the men that owns a Stallion in Adair and adjoining counties, Russell, Casey, Taylor, Green, Metcalfe and Cumberland, that each owner of a Stallion in the above named counties, make a jack pot of the amount of the season that his horse is licensed for, and deposit same with the secretary of the Columbia Fair Association by the time the bell rings on the morning of the first day of the next Columbia Fair and let the get of the best lot of colts from sucklings to yeariings take the money. NOBLE PEACOCK There is not a better bred Stallion Hying than Noble Peacock. His colts have the size and style and lots of air and dash, that make them look like the fine Peacock mare that won the $500 Saddle Stake, at the Columbia Fair ,'m y 1 9 1 3, when she defeated some of the most noted horses of Kentucky, by such sires as Rex Pea vine and Montgomery Chief,, two-stallions that stands at $75.00 each. Now if the Peacocks can defeat horses by such sires as these, and with such noted men as Sam McKin, of Lebanon, and Dock Dry, of Hustonville, Ky., judging, isn't that proof enough that there is none as good as the Peacock's. Read Noble's pedigree and you will see that there is none better bred than this grand young sire. ' NOBLE PEACOCK No. 6828, A. S. H.

'I have 1 0 Jacks and will stand just as , i .many of them as will take to accommo- date my customers. At the head of this . .fine herd of Jacks is Highwave, a jack that has made a great reputation as "a . breeder. V He is 15 1-2 hands, with style, weight and bone black with white - points, and is the best breeder I ever owned. Some of his colts sold last fall at weaning time for $100. I never heard of mules by any other jack selling for $100. Last fall, two years ago, his colts sold as high as $125 at wean ing time, and I sold one pair, two years old, for $440. When you breed to this jack you get a colt. I have been in the breeding business for 37 years and this is the surest jack I have ever seen. PEDIGREE OF HIGHWAVE.

I have been in the breeding business '37 years, and I do not keep anything but the veay best, and I know how to handle stock of this kind. I always have my stock well broke and under my control never had an accident in breeding. I will charge $ 1 0 00 for mare mules and $8 00 for horse mules. Money due when mares are traded or removed from the neighborhood. If mare loses colt by carelessness of the owner, he must pay the season. :.'"', ' ?: -rj( j.sg i-; ?&'&!
