EARLY HISTORY ANTA ANITA RANCHO was established by the late Elias Jackson Baldwin in 1873. The original Santa Anita tract contained some 8,500 acres. Later, other tracts were acquired, including numerous acres sur- rounding the town of Arcadia, in the highlands of Los Angeles County, until the entire ranch, under its present name, contained 54,000 acres. The boundary limits included all the lands lying in the San Gabriel Valley, extending from the Sierra Madre Mountains to the Puente Hills at Whittier, and from a line just west of the present town of Lamanda Park, eastward to the Merced Hills. Here Mr. Baldwin established a home and laid the foundation of what is today one of the greatest ranches in Southern California, if not in the entire West. Orchards were located containing nearly all varieties of semi-tropical AN O A KET A BREEDING F A RM 7 and deciduous fruits. Five hundred acres of oranges, with over a million young orange trees in an adjoining nursery; besides there were large groves of lemon trees, English walnut, of which there were some three thousand; soft-shell almond, peach, pear, apricot, prune, fig and Japanese persimmon trees, with large plantations of olives, camphor, pepper, coffee and tea plants. The vine- yards and winery produced annually about 30,000 gallons of brandy, and 100,000 gallons of wine. From other portions of the ranch there were harvested yearly 2500 tons of alfalfa and 28,000 sacks of grain, the harvesting of the various products lasting throughout the entire year. The quantity of livestock on the ranch was very great. Grazing on the foot- hills were usually about 20,000 head of sheep; 2000 dairy cows, including Jersey, Devon, Holstein, Shorthorn and Durham breeds, both home bred and imported. In the breeding of thoroughbred running horses Mr. Baldwin stood at the head on the Pacific coast. The first purchase made by him was in 1874, when $28,000.00 was paid for two Kentucky-bred stallions. Not only was the founder of this ranch a pioneer in this business, but the first one to compete for honors on the Eastern turf, where each year he maintained from 25 to 30 head of horses, whose average winnings were not far from $100,000.00 annually. He took great pride in his stud. In the breeding and racing of Thoroughbreds and along these lines he has been termed the most successful man in America in proportion to the size of his Stable. The fame, the Santa Anita Ranch enjoys, is largely due to his efforts and his unparalleled success as a breeder and developer of Thoroughbreds. No more fitting tribute has ever been paid this ranch and its founder than that which is expressed in the words of Herbert H. Bancroft, the historian: “It is a spot whose attractions, both natural and artificial, it would be dif- ficult to exaggerate, and we know not whether most to admire its vast extent, the mag- nitude and diversity of its interests, the beauty of its situation, the skill with which its various operations have been planned, or the well-nigh perfect generalship with which they have been executed.” ‘ULApIeg “WL BHUY Jo saqeig oyeattg AN OA KIA BREEDING F ARM _ 9 GENERAL INFORMATION HIS publication is issued for the purpose of outlining various features of the live-stock industry as embodied in the activities and ideals of the Santa Anita Rancho, and the Anoakia Breeding Farm, under the manage- ment and ownership of Anita M. Baldwin, younger daughter of the late Elias Jackson Baldwin. Several small cities now occupy portions of the original Baldwin tract, and the Santa Anita Rancho of today contains about 3500 acres in the vicinity of, and immediately surrounding, the old Baldwin homestead. The railroad station and postoffice of Santa Anita—on the Santa Fe Railway—are within the boun- dries of the ranch. Only five miles distant is the beautiful city of Pasadena— the winter home of the American millionaire—while fourteen miles south by west lies the city of Los Angeles, the metropolis of Southern California. Three railroads pass through the ranch—Southern Pacific, Santa Fe and Pacific Electric—affording unequaled shipping facilities. Daily train service to and from Los Angeles and Pasadena, via the Santa Fe, and hourly trolly service on the Pacific Electric, provide easy access to the ranch. It can be conservatively said that there is not another fertile spot on the Pacific Coast, nor in the great Southwest, more suitable or naturally adapted for the raising of purebred live stock than this portion of Los Angeles County, California, occupied by the Santa Anita Rancho and the Anoakia Breeding Farm. Shaded by five thousand or more beautiful oaks, centuries old; nestled, as it is, at the foot of the towering peaks of the Sierra Madre Mountains to the east; cooled and nurtured by the sea breezes from the west and south, this region, generously endowed by nature, yields forth almost gratuitous service to every application of man’s intellect. Here, where the elements and all the laws of nature are in harmony with human endeavor, the greatest developments are possible, and here it is that expert attention is devoted to raising Thoroughbred, Arabian and Percheron horses, Mammoth Jacks and Jennets, Holstein-Friesian cattle, Berkshire and Poland-China swine. 10 SAN TA AN ITA R AN CH O MANAGEMENT IHINKING men have long since awakened to the fact that successful modern stock raising requires energy, education, a keen and orderly in- tellect, executive ability, ambition, foresight, wide experience and thorough knowledge of the different breeds, hence the management of Anoakia Breeding Farm, with religious sincerity, has embodied as a central thought and purpose, THOROUGHNESS in every phase of its activity. Our foundation stock represents the best thought and efforts of generations of the world’s greatest breeders. Our herds are brought to the highest state of excellence by the use of the best pure bred strains of blood, and by the most careful selection of sires and dams. Our Thoroughbred, Arabian and Percheron horses, Mammoth Jacks and Jennets, Berkshire and Poland-China swine, and Holstein-Friesian cattle, represent the best attainable results of careful and conscientious breeding. Even our fields of grain and alfalfa, orange groves, orchards and vineyards—now merely incidental in our operations—are an in- spiration and delight to the eye, proclaiming pleasing results of our practice and methods. , ANOAKIA BREEDING FARM is operated on the departmental basis, the expert in charge of each department reporting to the ranch superintendent, and he in turn accounting to the proprietor. At the central office, located on the ranch, are maintained the headquarters of the superintendent, sales manager, superintendent of construction, purchasing agent, auditor and the heads of the different departments. Here a competent staff of clerks are employed at all times, and all matters of import, including inquiries with reference to live-stock activities, are given prompt and careful attention. Efficiency and competency in every department is not only encouraged, but required, by the proprietor. All communications should be addressed to the Santa Anita Rancho, Santa Anita, Los Angeles County, California. Thoroughbreds 12 SANTA ANITA R A N C H O THOROUGHBREDS N speaking of horses, one often hears the word ‘thoroughbred’ misused. Thoroughbred is the name of a distinct type of horse developed through cen- turies of breeding and racing, and should not be confused with the “pure- bred,” which is applied to any type of horse, each of whose parents is pure bred and of the same type, such as purebred Percheron, Clyde, Shire, ete. All thoroughbred horses trace their lineage through the records of the American and English studbook back to the great foundation Arabian sires. Resting on the foundation of the Arab, this excellent breed has been developed through the science, care and wealth of the most enlightened and ablest nations of the world until today the thoroughbred is without a peer in the equine race for intelligence, spirit, endurance, speed and gameness. No other horse sur- passes the thoroughbred in racial transmission. To his get he transmits his valuable characteristics and most desirable qualities, both physical and mental. Propotent to the highest degree, his produce is a horse of wholesome balance, not alone a marvel for speed and endurance, but a general utility horse, possess- ing the ability to outdo any other type, be it at the plow, on the binder, in the hunting field, or in military service. His ability to perform in proportion to his environment is unequaled. The history of Santa Anita Rancho and its thoroughbred stock involves a closely interwoven tale of heroic deeds and performances upon the turf. Since its foundation, two score years ago, by that famous pioneer and exponent of the race horse, Elias J. Baldwin, the ranch has been known throughout this broad land, wherever good horses are discussed—not alone for the Derby winners it has produced, but for the still higher quality of horses now being produced by the present management. Unlike most great ranches of bygone days, it has maintained its identity throughout the changing years and under the guidance of the daughter, promises to achieve and perpetuate a renown equal to, if not surpassing, that enjoyed by it under the regime of the father. To this end the extraordinary foundation Thoroughbred stock bequeathed to this ranch leaves nothing to be desired. AN OA KIA BREEDING FARM 13 Rey El! Santa Anita, Foaled 1891. AMERICAN DERBY WINNERS Four times were the Baldwin colors—red and black, and the famous Maltese cross—first at the wire in the classic American Derby, an achievement standing 14 SANTA ANITA RANCH O- Santa Anita Star, Standardbred Stallion. alone in the annals of the turf. No other ranch or breeder can boast of even two winners. The American Derby, at Chicago, was the great three-year-old event of America, the distance being 114 miles. VOLANTE first captured this event, in 1885, on a heavy track, collecting the purse of $9,570.00. Time 2:4914. SILVER CLOUD won the coveted prize the following year in the record time of 2:3714. Purse $8,160.00. EMPEROR OF NORFOLK, two years later, won the stakes amounting to $14,340.00, in 2:4014.

REY EL SANTA ANITA.—In 1894 Rey El Santa Anita, the fourth Derby winner, added to his own fame and that of his owner by coming down in front in the fast time of 2:36, the record for the Derby to that date. The purse was $19,750.00. This grand stallion was foaled in 1891, and is the only one of the famous Derby winners now living. Aside from being the winner of the last American Derby run at Washington Park, Chicago, he was the winner of the 16 S AN TA ANITA R AN CG H O Norito, 55925. Foaled 1907. Broadway Stakes, in New York, in 1905, and also won several leading purses at Louisville, Memphis, St. Louis, Little Rock and a number of other prominent tracks. His total winnings amounted to over a quarter of a million dollars, In 1907 he was shipped abroad, having been leased by Richard Croker, who took him to England. There Rey El Santa Anita attracted wide attention both as a leading race horse of the day and a famous sire. After a highly credit- able performance in England, adding to laurels already won, he was returned to his native land, and later to his home at Santa Anita to enter the stud and reign as king of the ranch which bears his name. Here he remained until 1915, AN OA KIA BREEDING FARM 17 TT “4 a a yet 2st, Se Adalid, 69635. Foaled 1910. when, upon the urgent request of the cfficials of the Panama-Pacific Inter. national Exposition, San Francisco, he was permitted to win new honors by entering the field of competition at that great live-stock show. Even though he was just rounding out the 24th year of his illustrious career, he was awarded First Prize in class, and adjudged Senior Champion and Grand Champion Thoroughbred stallion, in competition with horses of his kind from all over the country, again demonstrating his quality and eligibility to be classed as the finest specimen of the thoroughbred in America. At the time of the issue of this publication, Rey El Santa Anita, still hale 18 SANTA ANITA R AN C H O Reina De Los Angeles, 3401. Foaled 1895. and hearty, has lived a quarter of a century. He is in service at the head of the thoroughbred stud of mares on this ranch, and is as active, vigorous and spirited as many of his grandsons and daughters who surround him and share his comforts. REY EL SANTA ANITA will stand in stud, for public service, to a few selected mares the coming season.

OTHER FAMOUS WINNERS Two of the first sires owned by Mr. Baldwin were: GRINSTEAD, a bay horse by Gilroy out of sister to Ruric, by imported Sovereign; and RUTHER- FORD, a full brother to Fellowcraft and Spendthrift. From these horses he bred a vast number of winners, among them being LUCKY B, by Rutherford, winner of the Louisville and Saratoga Cups, and the Brewers’ Cup at St. Louis —all these races being at two miles and a quarter. He also won the Saratoga Cup with VOLANTE (his first Derby winner), in 1886. With the chestnut mare LOS ANGELES he won the Derbys at Latonia and Kansas City in 1888. 20 SANTA ANITA R AN GH O She was a marvelous campaigner, winning 47 races; was eleven times second and seven times third. Ona heavy track she could beat any horse in the United States, at one mile or upward. In these renowned stake-winners, and their sons and daughters, was blended the best blood of England and Australia with the choicest of the most famous American strains. STALLIONS IN STUD Thoroughbred stallions now on the ranch, standing for public service, are: CRUZADOS 22585; winner of the world’s two-year-old record in 1901; foaled 1899; sire, Emperor of Norfolk, winner of the American Derby, 1888; dam, Atlanta IT.

Arabians ‘weg pnig AN OA KIA BREEDING F AR M_ 25 ARABIANS UCH has been said and written concerning the origin of the Arabian, and while authorities differ on the subject, all the evidence submitted points to the great antiquity of this important race of horses. The Arabs are descendants of Ishmael, who, according to tradition, inherited a valuable horse of the Kuhl race. The Anezah tribe descended in a direct line from Ishmael, through Sheik Salaman, who lived about 1635 B. C. (four generations removed from Ishmael), and who owned five famous mares. From this ancestry has come the purest and best Arabian horse blood. This race was in existence many centuries before the time of Mohammed. There is a concensus of opinion that the blood cause for all the greatness in the past as well as the present horse creations is directly traceable to the Arabian. Nothing serves to prove this more than the fact that France moulded her famous draft horse, the Percheron, from the pliable blood of the Arabian; England, by reference to her records, shows many importations of Arabian horses to create and sustain her national Thoroughbred running horse, and her heavy horse, the Shire; Scotland, with her typical drafter, the Clyde, traces its origin to the desert horse; Russia takes pride in referring to her Orloff trotting and coach horse as of Arabian origin; while America has the Morgan, the present- day Standardbred, or trotter, including the famous Kentucky saddle horse, all of which exist as a result of the influence of the blood of the imported Arabian. As a consequence of the superior quality, endurance and general excellence of the desert horses, the infusion of Arabian blood has produced horses without parallel for speed and endurance in every part of the world in every age. Ara- bian horses have one less vertebra than other breeds, hence their short back and their ability to carry great weight. They are as wonderful in mental de- velopment, courage and intelligence as they are in physical perfection and en- durance. The individual is honest, cheerful, vigorous, patient, enduring, fleet, handsome, graceful, kind, and last but not least, the purest in blood of all the equine race. ADVANTAGES OF ARABIAN BLOOD INFUSIONS The advantages derived by breeding to Arabian sires are well known by 26 SAN T A ANITA R AN C H O all who have taken the pains to become posted in past horse breeding accom- plishments. The Arabian will impart tone and stimulant, and all of his other valuable characteristics. As a result of his flinty bone; a heart that is larger and better than most of the other breeds; the perfect construction of his wind- pipe; the manner in which his head is set onto the neck—which is of an entirely different angle than is found in other horses—he is possessed of a grace, elasticity and ease of movement, and a faculty for enduring long journeys under harness and saddle, not possessed by any of his less distinguished cousins in civilization. Fresh Arabian blood infusions have been known to remedy many evils of the horse breeding industry. More especially does this apply to the English Thoroughbred and the American trotter, whose owners are constantly compelled to apply every conceivable remedy to weak tendons, faulty hocks and joints, and, in fact, bad legs. All of these can and have been improved by the liberal use of the Arab for breeding purposes. The value and influence of the Arabian sire upon the future generation of horses is a matter of interesting speculation, and the greatness of the influence of this blood will be in proportion to the intelligence with which they are bred. As the use of electricity and gasoline for motive power, more or less, relieves the horse of his former position of universal drudge, he is returning to his original position—the companion of man in his pleasure in time of peace, and the sal- vation of man in time of war. If there ever was need of considering the future demand, and the maximum efficiency of a war horse, now is the time. The Arab-bred horse only recently underwent the supreme test in hard military service in both France and Germany, and was found to be the most enduring, hence, if we are to supply the demand that is upon us, it behooves us to put forth our efforts to conserve, and continue to use, the Arabian blood we already have in this country. IBN MAHRUSS Our stud of Arabian horses is headed by the famous stallion IBN MAH- RUSS (A-22), of the desert family of Seglawi Jedran. (The horses of the Arabian Desert are divided into several families, the favorite family being Seglawi Jedran.) This stallion, a magnificent chestnut, four white feet below hock joint, was foaled in 1901, stands 15 hands high, and weighs 925 pounds. AN OA KIA BREEDING F A RM 27 Ibn Mabruss, Arabian Stallion, Foaled 1901. (A-22.) He was presented by the Shah of Persia to the late Homer Davenport, the famous cartoonist, on the occasion of the latter’s visit to that country in the interest of his own stud. Ibn Mahruss was later secured from Richard Walton Tully by Mrs. Baldwin. He is credited with being the greatest Arabian stallion in the world. His sire was the famous Mahruss, and his dam, Bushra, was equally famous in Arabian annals. He was awarded First Prize in class and the Reserve Championship at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco, 1915. CIBOLO Next in importance is the stallion CIBOLO (Arabian Stud Book 134, Class 1), of the family of Hamdani Simri, a beautiful dapple grey, blaze face, and two white feet below pastern joint.

The result has produced a horse of excellent quality and outstanding merit, a marvel for speed and endurance, spirited under saddle, and, in general, a utility animal of versatile ability. This type is especially adapted for military service, and for use on the hunting and polo field. A few of these Arabian-Thoroughbred cross are now being offered for sale at the ranch.

PRESS NOTICES Referring to the exhibit of live stock by the Santa Anita Rancho at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco, 1915, the “Breeder and Sportsman,” of San Francisco, under date of October 23, 1915, writes as follows: “In quality and range, the display made by Anita M. Baldwin was by far the most interesting of those made especially for the horse show, while throughout the course of the Exposition she has maintained there under the view herd allowances, a stable that has been the chief center of attraction of the department. Very shortly after the Exposition was opened the Santa Anita Rancho quarters were fitted up for continuous occupancy, and not a day has passed that visitors by the hundreds have failed to pay their respects to the famous horses gathered there. The equine aristocrats, with their attractive quarters, elaborately fitted up and decorated in the Baldwin colors of red and black, with the famous Maltese cross an ever present symbol, made the Santa Anita Rancho exhibit one of the real show places of the Exposition.” Extract from article which appeared in the San Francisco “Chronicle” of Sunday, August 22, 1915: FAMOUS HORSE PARADE Panama Paciric INTERNATIONAL ExPposiITION “A picturesque parade of thoroughbreds from Mrs. Anita Baldwin’s ranch was held just after the running of the third race. Headed by Rey el Santa Anita, winner of the American Derby in 1894, a dozen mares and yearlings were led by the grandstand by grooms neatly attired in white. As he marched along majestically, with his beautiful head lifted high, the old horse was given round after round of ap- plause. “In the parade besides Rey el Santa Anita were Reina de Los Angeles, Norito, Reina de Santa Anita and Adalid. Some Arabians also were shown.” Announcement from the official program on opening day of the Golden Gate Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association, August 21, 1915: “Through the courtesy of Mrs. Baldwin some of the world-famous horses of the Baldwin stables will parade after the second race in the following order: THOROUGHBREDS ARABIANS REY EL SANTA ANITA, MAHRUSS, REINA DE LOS ANGELES, NEDJME, NORITO, NEJDREZ, REINA DE SANTA ANITA, SHIREEN, ADALID.

When the warriors of Islam invaded France in 732 A. D., and were defeated at Tours, near the district of La Perche, many of their Arabian chargers were included in the spoils of victory. The French people of that pericd, therefore, were able to improve their native horses by crossing them with these symmetrical, clean-limbed, courageous Orien- tal stallions. The farmers of La Perche made intelligent use of these splendid sires. As a result of the blending of the blood of these Oriental chargers with the native horses of France, and the continued improvement brought about by careful selection during the past ten centuries, we have the Percheron of the present time. The French government has encouraged in every possible way the breeding of Percheron horses by giving subsidies and prizes, and passing laws requiring that stallions pass official government inspection before being permitted to make a public stand. By application of the simplest rules of breeding—namely, the very best stallions and ‘the very best mares, rejecting those imperfect in the slightest degree, so that their faults cannot be multi- plied—they have done much to secure that combination of strength, endurance, activity and docility for which the breed is so noted, and which has placed it in the front rank of excellence among draft breeds of the world. Bred with so great uniformity for so long a time, the Percheron is a model draft horse. He imparts to his progeny his valuable characteristics with a surety and precision not equaled by any other draft breed. So fixed is the type that they are the most prepotent and impressive of all draft breeds in existence. Possessed of their qualities, the colts, produced by a cross between a pure-bred Percheron and the ordinary farm mare, will do more work, is easier kept, develops younger, and, when placed on the market, will uniformly com- mand a higher price than the grades of other draft breeds. The Percheron is raised in the district of La Perche, France, which is about fifty miles wide and seventy-five miles long, located about seventy miles from Paris. In the northwestern part of France, bounded on one side by the English 36 S AN TA ANITA R A N C H O Channel, is the district known as Normandy. It comprises nearly seven mil- lion acres, and is divided into five departments—La Manche, Calvados, Orne, Eure et Loir and Sarthe. In the southeastern part of Normandy, and extend- ing beyond its borders, is the district of La Perche. All this part of France has from time immemorial been a famous horse-producing region. What America owes to France for the Percheron breed can never be reck- oned in dollars, and, while it is to be regretted that on account of the war the French Minister of Agriculture has limited further importations at this time, this breed is in better shape for future development in the hands of the Amer- ican breeder, without outside aid, than any of the other draft breeds. OUR FOUNDATION STOCK Realizing the value and importance, as well as the universal popularity, of the pure-bred Percheron in North and South America, the Anoakia Breeding Farm has spared no effort or expense in procuring, creating and maintaining a foundation stock which represents the conscientious work and intelligent care of generations of the foremost farmers of France, and the expert, scientific purchasing ability of the American importer. JUSQUE Standing at the head of our stud of pure-bred Percheron mares is the famous imported stallion JUSQUE 79515 (85467); a magnificent iron grey, foaled April 14, 1909. Rich in the best Percheron blood, he was sired by Etudiant 70802, one of the greatest prize-winning and producing stallions ever raised in France. The year of JUSQUE’S foaling, his sire was the first prize winner at the great Percheron Society show, held at Nogent-le-Retrou, France. Etudiant was afterward imported to America at one of the highest prices ever paid for a Percheron in Europe, and is still in service on one of the great breeding farms of America.

At the People’s Place Horse Show, San Francisco, February 12, 1915, JUSQUE established a remarkable record in the show ring by winning First Prize in class, Champion aged stallion, and Grand Champion stallion of the show: At the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco, 1915, he was placed first as the head of stud of stallion and three mares, and winning further distinction by being placed within three points of the top of the largest ring of Percheron stallions qualifying for the aged class at this great live stock ex- hibition. This ring contained stallions from all over the State of California, including those exhibited by the large eastern and middle-west importers.

ALTHAZAR was the eastern futurity winner, Ohio State Fair, 1914; third prize two-year-old at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco, 1915, and one of the champion group of best five stallions at this great show. As a stallion of magnificent proportions, heavy bone, clean-legged, sound and perfect conformation, he is a living, breathing example of what can be accomplished on American soil in the way of breeding, producing and raising a Percheron true to the type of his splendid ancestors.

MANON One of the most notable matrons among this famous collection of mares is MANON 105936 (107680); foaled April 15, 1912; imported from France June, 1914; bred by M. Leroy, department of Sarthe; black, with flecks of white in flank; sire, IBERIEN 88568 (81155); dam, GOGUETTE (71885). In model and finish she is beyond criticism. Numerous honors have come to her in the show yard both in France and America. Leading critics of horse flesh have pronounced her as one of the greatest living mares of the breed. She is indeed a wonderful mare, an exemplification of power, intelligence and docility, and has brought much fame to the Anoakia Breeding Farm. AN OA KIA BREEDING FARM 4 A FEW OF HER WINNINGS At the great Percheron show, Le Ferte, France, 1914, MANON was awarded First Prize in class. At the Minnesota State Fair, 1914—First Prize and Grand Champion mare. At the Civic League Horse Show, San Francisco, June, 1915, held in con- nection with the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, she was awarded First Prize and Grard Champion over mares of all ages. At the Panama-Pacific International Live Stock Exposition, San Francisco, October, 1915, MANON was adjudged First Prize three-year-old, Senior Champion and Reserve Grand Champion mare. She was also one of the Champion Stud of stallion and three mares, and one of the Champion Group of ten best mares. OAKLAWN QUEEN A no less noted matron, pronounced by experts to be the best American bred Percheron mare in America today, is OAKLAWN QUEEN 83630; foaled September 10, 1909; sire. CHAMARADE 52275 (68959); dam, BERNEASE 47183; color, black, white inside right hind foot. (See page 34.) OAKLAWN QUEEN is an American product. She fully demonstrates the results that can be obtained by patient, skillful farm-owners of substantial well-bred draft mares. “She certainly ranks among the queens of the breed,” is the tribute paid her by the “Breeder’s Gazette” in their issue of October 14, 1915. She is compact, distinctly of the brood mare type, with pronounced bulk, excellent bone, accurate modeling and quality all over. (See page 34.) OAKLAWN QUEEN was also one of the Champion Stud of stallion and three mares at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco, 1915, as well as being adjudged Reserve Grand Champion American-bred mare of that show.

Breeders are in better position today to judge fairly of the future than they have been at any time in the last decade. Factors whose precise influence was _ problematical—automobiles, motor trucks and tractors— have found their places, and their limitations are now fairly understood. The greatest war in the history of the world has taught us anew the indispensability of horses and mules in warfare. Nations concerned with adequate defense measures must not neglect possessing plenty of horses for emergencies. Whatever may have been the ideas of army men prior to the war, it took but a very brief time to convince them that however valuable motor trucks and tractors may be in transport work, horses alone could be relied upon to put men and artillery in positions where needed, when needed. Russia’s surplus, most of which was too small, was shut off from other nations. South America’s supply was limited, and nearly all the horses were too small in size. The United States was the only nation with an available surplus of the right kind of horses; and there can be no more conclusive evidence of the indispensability of horses than is visible in cold figures: From September 1, 1914, to February 1, 1916, 542,602 head of horses, valued at $114,999,223.00, and 139,929 mules, valued at $26,803,506.00, were actually exported from the United States. This exceeds in dollars and cents our total exports of horses and mules for the sixteen years preceding the outbreak of the present war, and is unanswerable evidence of the need of horses and mules, despite the admitted value of trucks and tractors in transport work. The competition of tractors with horses on the farm has served a good purpose. It has caused men to figure team costs, and the cost per hour of horse labor. It has made farmers study the relationship between horses kept, and work to be done; has forced upon every careful farmer the desirability of using heavier, stronger, more durable horses, capable of doing more work at less cost. It has, by exposing the fact that on most farms horses average only three or four hours work daily, led men to so rearrange their cropping systems and live AN OA KIA BREEDING FARM 49 stock production as to render it possible to utilize profitably more team labor per day. It has led farmers generally to realize that draft mares are the most efficient power units that can be kept on the farm, because they serve to do the work and at the same time rear colts that return substantial net profit. It is impossible to create a sudden congestion in the market. At the present time the world faces a shortage of draft horses, grade and pure-bred. Prices are at a profitable level. The depletion of the world’s stock of horses wrought by the war, as well as the preparedness policy being adopted by all neutral nations, is giving, and will continue to give, an impetus to the already abnormal demand for draft horses throughout the world. Good draft horses, whether grade or pure-bred, are worth more today—considering world-wide conditions—than they have been at any time in the past twenty-five years, and men who have good stock have every reason to feel optimistic over the outlook for draft-horse breeding.

JACKS AND JENNETS HE ancestry of the ass may be traced to the wild ass of Africa and Asia. The males are usually termed “jacks,” and the females “‘jennets.” From the wild ass various breeds of the domestic ass have descended, ranging in size from those no larger than a Newfoundland dog to the size of a draft horse. The introduction of the ass to America is said to date back to colonial times, when, soon after the Revolutionary War, the King of Spain sent as a gift to General George Washington a Spanish jack and jennet. In Washington’s time some early interest was shown in breeding mules, as a result of this gift. Henry Clay is said to have imported some very fine Spanish jacks to Kentucky. From the Clay stock Kentucky obtained the start which has resulted in such fame for that state in mule breeding. One of the first imported jacks taken to Tennessee was imported about 1840, and was taken to Maury County by a man named Thomas. About 1867 or 1868 Messrs. Franklin and Craig, of Sumner County, Tennessee, imported some Catalonian jacks. In 1882 some Adalusian jacks were imported to Kentucky from southern Spain, and during the same year Leonard Brothers, of Missouri, made a similar importation. Many im- ANOA KIA BREEDING F A RM _ 55 oS x King Bersheba 5585 (10800), Mammoth Jack, Foaled July 11, 1911. portations from Spain, France and the Balearic and Malta islands have been brought to America since 1884. The Catalonian jack is a Spanish breed from Catalonia in extreme north- eastern Spain, bordering on France. This is a black or brown breed with light points, black largely prevailing. The coat of hair tends to be thick and short. This breed stands from 141% to 15, and occasionally 16, hands high. From the standpoint of critics of this class of animals, the Catalonian possesses unusual] style, beauty and action. The head shows considerable character, and the ears are rarely droopy. While the bone is not so large as the Andalusian or Poitou, it is very superior in texture and free of flesh. The Catalonian is also a wiry, tough type that matures early. This breed is the one in which we are probably more interested than any of the others, as it has been largely used as foundation 56 S AN T A ANITA R AN C H O stock for producing mules in Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri, where it is yet in great favor. Kentucky alone is far-famed as the breeding ground of the best native jacks and jennets, and it was from among the prize winners of the Blue Grass region that Santa Anita Rancho recruited its foundation stock, including the jack King Bersheba, and 22 females. FOUNDATION STOCK At the head of our stud of jennets is the Mammoth jack KING BERSHEBA 5585 (A. B. A. of J. & J.), 10800 (S. J. & J.

As a two-year-old, King Bersheba won the Championship at the Blue Grass State Fair, Lexington, Kentucky, in the fall of 1914. He also won honors in the sweepstakes classes for Jacks of all ages, at Lexington, Kentucky, same year. He is a fine tempered fellow, heavily boned, well muscled, full of quality in conformation and breeding.

AN OA KIA BREEDING F A RM _ 59 MULES HE mule is not a true breed, as ordinarily considered, but is a hybrid, having for a sire a jackass, and for a dam a mare. Its importance is so great, however, in certain sections of America, that it is worthy of con- sideration as an important draft animal. In history the mule has been known for many centuries. It has been used more or less in Europe since the days before Christ. In the days of ancient Rome and Greece mules served various purposes. The geographical distribu- tion of the mule is widespread. He is especially bred with great perfection in Spain, France, Portugal, Italy and certain sections of the United States and South America. The characteristics of the mule partake both of the sire and dam, but the best type of mule shows the general excellent conformation of the horse in sym- metry of form. The legs are of superior quality, being fine and hard, the bone very smooth, the tendons prominent, and the muscles well developed. In general, the mule is distinguished for superior feet and legs. The temperament of the mule is quiet and patient, while for steadiness under the collar, and hard pulling, he has no equal in the equine world. His endurance is remarkable. Mules usually live to greater age than horses, per- form their work with regularity and on less feed. They are less disabled from work than the horse, and the resistance of the mule to disease, its activity, sureness of foot, docility and easiness of keep, have resulted in its finding much favor in the army service. We have on the ranch at this time in the neighborhood of 100 head of mules of extraordinary quality, suitable for the demand of a critical trade. We are making a business of producing a grade of mule that is superior in bone, big and heavy, with great power. Our mules are the result of using a Mammoth jack on the larger type of draft mares. In no other section of California are mules being produced equal to those raised on the Santa Anita Rancho. Alfalfa Berkshires ‘Araasg aL AN OA KIA BREEDING F A RM 63 Brood Sows. Daisy Lee 10th 199176; Lady Black 10th 199173; Silburfa Royal 6th 194920, Berkshires; and ; Cute Corrector 501962, Poland-China. BERKSHIRES HE earliest accounts of the Berkshire that we have are the brief recitals of tradition. He is believed to have sprung from the native European wild hog. In the earliest accounts of swine breeding, the hog of the Berks and adjoining regions was noted in the London markets. He has been noted in the Berkshire region from time immemorial, where he has under- gone the slow process of evolution, which has made the Berkshire the prince of ham-and-bacon hogs throughout the world. Since the introduction of the Berkshire into America from England, over a hundred years ago, he has been the subject of more or less experimentation. As a result, his character has undergone a considerable number of changes. 64 SAN TA ANITA R A N C H O Through the efforts of the foremost hog breeders, these changes have been brought about, and we have come to recognize the Berkshire as one of the most popular breeds of swine in America today. He is pre-eminently a farm hog, for no matter what type of hog the farmer wishes to raise, he can depend on the Berk- shire to grow into it, if he will govern his feeding to suit the end in view. He has shown himself to be exceedingly responsive to feed and environment. The all-around qualities of the breed are unsurpassed; their hardiness adapts them very quickly to any climate or condition; they fatten at any age and grow to very large size when mature. The Berkshires have been bred for over a century, with the constant endeavor to produce ham and bacon of the highest quality. They have always been known as a hog of great muscular power and vitality, combined with strong digestive and assimilating powers. Being vigorous, active and more inclined to forage about, it is a natural con- sequence that the flesh should be firmer than that of a hog of a sluggish dis- position, which all will concede produces flabby muscles and a soft oily meat. The Berkshire, being the oldest of the improved breeds of swine, has always been accepted, more or less, as the pattern hog and standard of comparison. Few of the hogs of other breeds approach him in symmetry, in form, perfection in color, elegance in style and correctness in breed character. His nature and habits enable him to adapt himself to any climate where hogs can be raised. These few fundamental reasons, coupled with the multiple virtues of the breed, account for the universal popularity of the Berkshire throughout the civilized world. OPPORTUNITY Nowhere in the United States are conditions more favorable than here for the breeding, feeding and developing of the Berkshire. Large breeders, of the constructive kind, say that here on the coast hogs can be developed better than in the East, because our climatic conditions and alfalfa make it easier and more profitable. When we mention that over twenty million dollars annually is sent out of the State of California for pork products at the present time, you can readily understand the field and opportunity here. In other words, Cali- fornia only produces enough hogs to supply every man, woman and child here with three pounds of pork yearly. California has not only her own demands AN OA KIA BREEDING FARM _ 65 Group of Yearling Gilts. to fill, but also a large foreign trade awaits her. There is an ever increasing demand for pork from Hawaii, Central and South America, Guam, the Argen- tine, and even Cuba. The Berkshire, together with the Poland-China, is sup- plying practically all this trade. OUR BROOD STOCK Taking into consideration the universal popularity of the breed, the foreign and local—and we might say abnormal—demand for hogs of a high quality, our foundation stock has been selected from the herds of the most prominent breeders of this country. The quality of our Berkshires will compare favorably, as regards breeding, individuality and’ price, with those of any section, repre- senting the most desirable qualities obtainable. Our brood sows are splendid “SIGI ‘UoTysodxg jeuotjvassjUy oplovg-voureUEg ‘Ieog alysyiog uUolduey puvix) oarosoy pue Sul[seax sJOlUNE 9Zg ISI ‘OSLOLS PET eAdULy AN OA KIA BREEDING F A RM_ 67 in conformation and produce very large litters of strong, well formed pigs. Our herd boars represent the best and most desirable strains, are remarkably prepotent, and breed absolutely true to type. One of our greatest herd boars is KINTYRE LAIRD 210526; farrowed March 17, 1914. He was sired by KINTYRE DUKE, a boar rich in the blood of HANDSOME LEE, and out of a daughter of the MONARCH, a boar formerly used in the famous Smith herd, of Springfield, Illinois. KINTYRE LAIRD’S dam was MONARCH’S DUCHESS 2nd 105748, an extraordinary breeder and worthy of a place among the great sows of the breed. As a junior yearling boar, KINTYRE LAIRD was awarded First Prize at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco, 1915; and, on account of his outstanding qualities, was later awarded the Reserve Grand Cham- pionship of that show, proving his excellent quality in strong competition.

The Poland-China is reputed to be distinctly the result of the constructive breeding ideas of the American corn-belt farmer. Breeds of all colors and many different forms and characteristics were used in connection with the common hogs of the corn-belt country to produce the Poland-China. ORIGIN About the middle of the nineteenth century, prior to the development of the great Middle-West, where grain production and animal husbandry now so largely obtain; while Cincinnati was still the ‘““Porkopolis” of the United States, and while water and stage coach transportation were chiefly in vogue, the : [TS as TTI ee necessity was : ee Se ak Mee age Oe tie keenly felt for a meat - producing animal which would not only condense the rich grain, chief- ly corn, and carry it to mar- ket, but could consume large quantities in short order and get to market as speedily as pos- Be es sible, once the Berkshire and Poland-China Boars, Six Months Old. grain was ready ANOAKIA BREEDING F ARM_ Z to feed. At that time the hog offered the best solution of this situation. In the absence of pure-bred hogs, or records, a body of farmers and feeders in southwestern Ohio set about designing of a type of hog suited to American re- quirements, selecting, modeling, developing and perfecting, from the various sorts of animals obtainable and continuing until 1877, when a record was established and the Poland-China became the acknowledged “‘corn-belt type.” Discussions by the press and by individuals for nearly half a century, have been the cause of searching and thorough investigation into the matters connected with their early history, the time and manner in which the first crosses were made, and upon what foundation, together with the later crosses and manner of breeding, which combine to make them the leading and favorite breed in many sections famous for the value, size and quality of their hogs. On many points authorities agree, but despite the disputes, of perhaps minor importance, between breeders, none dispute that the main crosses towards its formation as a definite and distinct breed were made in that part of south- western Ohio lying between the Big Miami and Little Miami rivers, mainly the counties of Warren and Butler, during the years from 1835 to 1840. It is also generally conceded that the groundwork was stock locally known as “War- ren County Hogs,” which were the result of crossing together the Berkshire, “Byfield,”’ the “Russia,” the “Big China,” and perhaps the ‘“Bedford”’ breeds, all large, coarse hogs, and slow to grow and fatten, except the “Big China,” which possessed the very opposite qualities. Controversies as to the precise crosses, by whom and under what particular circumstances they were made fifty years ago to form the breed now known as the Poland-China, may interest a few, but what is vastly more important to millions of people is the fact that this breed has been thoroughly established for more than forty years, and there has been produced a race of swine, now bearing that name, that very many very severely practical and intelligent men consider the best pork-packing machines known. They have been contin- uously improved without the introduction of any new blood. Their size, color, hardiness, docility and good feeding qualities make them favorites when purely bred, producing hogs of good length, with short legs, broad, straight backs, great depth of body, flanking well down, very broad, full square hams and 74 SAN TA ANITA R AN C H O shoulders. Drooping ears, short heads, wide between the eyes, of spotted or dark color, are some of the characteristics. They are hardy, vigorous and prolific, and when fat are perfect models, pre-eminently combining the excel- lencies of both the larger and smaller breeds. OUR PREFERENCE It is not our intention to attempt to extol the qualities of one breed of hogs at the expense of another. All breeds have their excellent qualities, and are deserving of consideration, but if we were asked why we prefer the Poland- China, we would say: Because the Poland-China is one of the largest breeds; the most economical to produce, responding to every environment, even where other breeds fail; he tops the market and is the packer’s preference; the Poland- China cross will improve any breed; his disposition is superior and he is a tract- able and quiet feeder; Poland-China sows farrow large litters, are excellent sucklers and careful mothers; they shrink least in shipping; produce a high quality of meat and lard; are free from skin diseases; breed true to type, and are the farmer’s favorite. OUR HERD We have in process of development what will be, if not already, one of the greatest herds of Poland-China hogs on the Pacific Coast. Being alive to the opportunities that California’s climate and soil offer to prospective breeders, we have supplied ourselves with a foundation stock which will produce the kind that the breeder and consumer both demand. A glance at the record of some of our prize-winning pigs, will leave no doubt as to their quality and breeding.

This royally-bred young boar is backed by many generations of boars of prize-winning ancestry, and as an individual is reputed to be the best young Poland-China boar in America. He is demonstrating his value as a breeder, both in quality and quantity, and his blood will enhance the value of any herd.

BROOD SOWS Size, combined with the necessary quality, has been the main consideration in the selection of our brood sows. Carrying the best blood lines, excellent in conformation, they are the kind that build up the breed—the kind that are popular, and the kind that make for success. EIGHT WINNERS, the produce of the same sire and dam, is a record seldom equaled. Out of the famous F.

No other breed has a genealogy running back to so remote a period, or a_pre- potency extending so widely in its influence and reaching down so unerringly through the ages to the present. The valuable characteristics of the foundation stock of most of our various breeds of cattle can be traced to the mingling of the Holstein blood. No other breed has so many distinguished individuals and remarkable performances recorded upon the pages of its history, and none has so nearly fulfilled the apparent purpose of its creation in excellence of service to the needs of the universe. ORIGIN In quoting from the “Blue Book’ of the ‘“‘Holstein-Friesian Aristocracy,” it is interesting to note what the author has to say relative to the origin of this breed of cattle: “Holstein-Friesian history, as far as known, begins 300 years before Christ, on the shores of the North Sea, where these cattle were owned by the Friesian people, and where, 200 years later, a German tribe from Hesse, settling near the Friesians, are believed to have mingled the blood of their black cattle with that of the white herds of their neighbors. From this time down to the present, the record of the dairy achievements of these black-and-white cattle in Holland—where during all these years they have been conservatively bred in the same strain and reared with devoted care—has been a wonderful one; with items of enormous productions of milk, butter and cheese and of heavy meat-cattle. The Hollanders have been, for generations, specialists in dairy cattle; their aim being to produce as much milk and beef as pos- sible from the same animal. This dual purpose characteristic is notable in the breed today. Large producers of milk and butter, they also make the best of veal and beef.” Anyone at all familiar with live stock matters knows that the foregoing is the merest outline of the marvelous story of the greatest of Holstein breeds. Statistics, statements of proven facts, incidents and experiences of varied in- terests and importance, might be added to this meager sketch almost indefinitely, 86 SAN TA ANITA R AN C H O SIVA NS SANT SUSSSSSS SN 4 SEEsuaysessNNS yo Bull Barn and Paddocks. so fast has Holstein history been making in the past twenty years. A book itself, generous in its proportions of length, breadth and thickness, would be required to record such a story, instead of the few paragraphs herein printed. OUR BREEDING ESTABLISHMENT The extent to which the Anoakia Breeding Farm is engaged in the breeding and developing of high-class registered Holstein-Friesian cattle may be gath- ered by a visit to our ranch and observing the splendid buildings erected, and in course of construction, for the comfort and welfare of the herd.

Extreme practicality marks every move AN OG AK 1 A BREEDING F A RM_= 87 SASRENS SRR : pSSoSSSSoses The Creamery. made at this record-making breeding establishment. This, coupled with the progressive ideas of the owner, and the individual excellence of the herd of Holsteins now assembled, gives birth to the tribute that the Anoakia Breeding Farm is to be classified with the most substantial of all the larger Holstein breed- ing establishments on the Pacific slope, where quality, high-minded purpose and attention to details make for progress. At the present time our herd numbers approximately 200 head. When the full quota, now in contemplation, is reached, over 500 head of Black and Whites will be adding fame to our already famous Holstein-Friesian Aristocracy. OUR DAIRY The dairy department of the Santa Anita Rancho not only produces the very finest quality of milk, cream and butter, but is in a position to supply “ProE 9g} Jo pwozy {][NG uvtsat1[-WlayspoET (GOQTS LOA[VAA PYOSfoy soutg AN OA KIA BREEDING F A RM_ 89 Test Barn, Where the Records are Made. dairymen with highly-bred stock with which to improve their herds.

The James equipment, the latest designs of metal stanchions, feed-trucks and litter-carriers are employed. The milking and feeding stables are fitted with automatic flushing arrangements by which the manure and litter of the stables may be carried directly to the alfalfa fields, where it aids in fertilizing the soil.

PRINCE GELSCHE WALKER Much serious thought and study was devoted to the selection of a proven sire to place at the head of our herd. It took some time to find a bull that would meet all the requirements, namely: proven prepotency, type and in- dividuality, size and vigor, and, above all, inherited transmitting ability in every line of his pedigree. In PRINCE GELSCHE WALKER, No. 81663 H. F. H. B., the management has realized its fondest hopes and ambitions. He possesses that combination of breeding, individuality, and the production of his daughters, which stamp him as one of the greatest young sires of the Holstein breed, commanding the highest price ever paid for a bull west of the Mississippi River. Through sheer merit, and without any particular effort to push him forward, PRINCE GELSCHE WALKER has commanded and received the attention of Holstein breeders wherever A. R. O. records are known. He is already the sire of thirteen A. R. O. daughters, including three California record holders, and his sons head some of the best herds in the West, having been sold at record prices. PRINCE GELSCHE WALKER’S dan, together with her dam and grand- dam, is the only instance in the world of three direct generations of 30-pound cows each with 30-day records in excess of 125 pounds butter, and the only instance in which two 30-pound cows appear in the third generation. His dam, both grand-dams and two of his great grand-dams are all 30- pound cows, averaging 31.65 pounds of butter in seven days. Eight of his fifteen nearest dams, and twelve of his fifteen nearest sires, have produced one or more 30-pound daughters. The dam of PRINCE GELSCHE WALKER and the dam of KING OF THE BLACK AND WHITES are from the same cow, and are sired by half- brothers. They are the only two 30-pound sisters with a 30-pound dam, and 30-pound dam’s dam. AN OA KIA BREEDING F A RM PRINCE GELSCHE WALKER’S THIRTEEN A. R. 0.

The daughters of PRINCE GELSCHE WALKER have already shown unusual production, one holding the highest record ever made in the State by a heifer with first calf, and another holds the State record for a junior three- year-old, while a third holds the State Record for 7 and 30 days butter and milk in the senior two-year-old division. The sons of PRINCE GELSCHE WALKER are already at the head of six or more pure-bred herds on the coast, and have found ready buyers at from $750.00 to $4,000.00. Considering the almost unparalleled breeding of this famous sire; the won- derful showing that is being made in the East by his closest relatives; the repu- tation that he has already made through his daughters, along with the still greater advantages that will be afforded him in his present environment; the extraordinary fact that 80 per cent of his get, and his sons’ get, have been heifers —it would seem that there is no room for doubt as to the future of PRINCE GELSCHE WALKER.

Morris & Sons Corporation, the “Live Stock and Dairy Journal,” of Sacramento, California, under the caption, “A Great Live Stock Transaction,” says, in their issue of June, 1916: “What is without question of doubt the most important single deal in regis- tered animals on the Pacific Coast was consummated in May, when Anita M. Bald- win, owner of Santa Anita Rancho, Los Angeles County, bought from A. W. Morris & Sons Corporation, Woodland, California, the great Holstein herd sire, PRINCE GELSCHE WALKER, along with twenty-one of his daughters, and fourteen other splendidly bred heifers. “The addition of this group gives Santa Anita Rancho the largest herd of yearly record cows, and daughters of yearly record cows, to be found in any single herd in the West, outside of the Morris herd; and also gives the herd a very large group of cows and heifers with seven-day records up to over thirty-four pounds of butter.” LARGEST SALE MADE IN AMERICA From the “Holstein-Friesian World,” June 10, 1916, we quote the following: “Perhaps the largest individual sale ever made by an individual breeder of Holstein cattle in America is that recently consummated by A. W. Morris & Sons Corporation, of Woodland, California, by which $45,000.00 worth of their choicest stock was sold to Anita M. Baldwin, of Santa Anita Rancho. The herd is headed by the noted bull, PRINCE GELSCHE WALKER, and a number of his daughters were also included in the sale. “PRINCE GELSCHE WALKER has forged to the front in the last year perhaps faster than any other bull in the West, and the records made by his daughters com- pare very favorably with any bull of the breed.” “surays[OHy Jo Juowdryg 00'000'SFs (19M) ‘ainqsed ul ofyyeg Amreq = (aaddq) ey is ARR i entre A as AN OA KIA BREEDING F A R M 101 Tirania Lyons Butterboy 110133.

He is out of a 21-pound cow—TIRANIA LYONS OF SLEEPY HOLLOW—a daughter of BROM BONES, 8 A. R. O. daughters and several proven sons.

None of his daughters in our herd have freshened as yet, but they are all promising individuals and bid fair to surpass our most sanguine expectations. He enjoys the distinction of being the first bull to stand at the head of our famous Holstein-Friesian herd of cattle, and to his credit it can be said that he is the first sire of our herd to attract attention in the Holstein world. We have several young heifers and bulls by TIRANIA LYONS BUTTER- ‘BOY, ard out of A. R. O. daughters, now for sale.

She is gradually increasing her production, and at the end of her yearly test it is predicted by experts that she will excel the world’s milk record, which was recently made by LUTSCKE 114 SAN TA ANITA R AN C H O VALE CORNUCOPIA, who completed her yearly record on May 12, 1916, producing 31,239.2 pounds of milk, and who is a half sister to WINNIE KORN- DYKE CORNUCOPIA DE KOL. Winnie’s sire, AAGGIE CORNUCOPIA JOHANNA LAD (62 producing sons and 101 A. R. O. daughters), already has two world’s record daughters for milk production in their respective classes, and 15 of his daughters have milk records that average over 100 pounds per day. He is one of the best sons of JOHANNA AAGGIE SARCASTIC LAD and the noted AAGGIE CORNUCOPIA PAULINE, 34.32 pounds at 4144 years, who held the world’s record for both 7 and 30-day butter production for 8 years, and heads one of the seven only combinations of three direct genera- tions of 30-pound cows. The dam of WINNIE KORNDYKE CORNUCOPIA DE KOL, who is the grand-dam of our junior herd sires MERCI LAD KORNDYKE BURKE, is WINNIE LAMB KORNDYKE DE KOL, a 21-pound daughter of Korn- DYKE QUEEN DE KOL’S PRINCE, 85 A. R. O. daughters, among whom are several 29 and 30 pound cows. The above brief outline of the pedigree of MERCI LAD KORNDYKE BURKE reveals much production, much superior breeding, and an abundance of quality, all of which has been transmitted to this excellent young sire. As an individual he is immense in size, and, like his dam, more black than white. He is being bred to the A. R. O. daughters of PRINCE GELSCHE WALKER, uniting two great blood strains, as well as being bred to other individuals of record and merit in our herd. As a consequence, his progeny is already shed- ding luster upon the greatness of the breed. We predict for this young bull a future unequaled by any other male member of our herd. A study of his photograph herein portrayed will show his wonderful type, individuality and vigor. Although in thin service condition, he is still in great weight. The demand for both male and female get of MERCI LAD KORNDYKE BURKE is already manifesting itself. AN OA KIA BREEDING F A RM 115 KING OF THE PONTIACS Daughter and Three Grand-daughters.

Prices low, considering quality. 120 SANTA ANITA R AN C H O OUR POLICY E make it a matter of FIRST consideration that every purchase made V6 at the Anoakia Breeding Farm MUST be entirely satisfactory to the purchaser. Prices are fixed according to the real value of each in- dividual. Everything we sell—be it a Thoroughbred, Arabian, Per- cheron, Jack or Jennet, a Holstein, Berkshire, or a Poland-China—will be exactly as represented, and any latent defect—if such there may be—will be made known. We believe that the withholding or covering up of any material defect, be it ever so small, is, ethically, as unfair as the grossest kind of mis- representation. It is along these lines that we hope to perpetuate our name and make the names of the Santa Anita Rancho and Anoakia Breeding Farm favorably known to every breeder of pure-bred livestock in every part of the universe. We welcome a most thorough investigation of our methods in all our livestock activities, and solicit your friendly regard and good will ac- cordingly.
