Horses 
     
     Prince Edward Island is noted for a fine class of horses, 
     
     much attention having been bestowed upon their breeding. 
     
     The leading pure breeds are as follows: Clydesdale, Shire, 
     
     Percheron, Trotting Standard Bred. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Owing to early Government importations of thoroughbred 
     
     and cart Stallions, which have more recently been followed by 
     
     many private purchases from abroad, the horses are regarded 
     
     as among the best in America, and command ready sale at 
     
     good prices. In exhibitions of late years held in different parts 
     
     of the Dominion, Island horses have received a large share of 
     
     the honors and prizes awarded. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Sheep 
     
    
   
   
    
     This country is well adapted for sheep, the soil being 
     
     light, dry and sound, growing a thick-set, tender and nutritious 
     
     herbage. The mutton is of excellent flavor, and the export 
     
     of sheep and lambs to the other provinces and to the United 
     
     States is assuming large proportions. The leading breeds are: 
     
     Leicester, Cotswold, Shropshire, Oxford Down, Southdown. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Swine 
     
    
   
   
    
     Great advances are being made in the raising of swine, 
     
     and the principal breeds are: Yorkshire, Berkshire, Tamworth, 
     
     Poland China, Duroc Jersey. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Near Charlottetown are two up-to-date farms. One is the 
     
     lleartz {arm of over 300 acres, which produced last year in 
     
     addition to pasturing its cattle and horses, 300 tons of corn 
     
     and ensilage, 20,000 bushels of turnips and mangels; 600 
     
     bushels of wheat which was sold for seed; and enough hay, 
     
     oats, etc., to feed the stock. On the farm are 100 head of 
     
     milch cows, 60 head of young cattle, all pure bred Jerseys, 
     
     Guernscys, and Holsteins, and 40 horses. The Creamery in 
     
     connection with the farm produced last year 100,000 lbs. of 
     
     Butter. The other is the Eastview Farm of over 200 acres of 
     
     good pasture land, and on it are bred pure Guernsey Cattle. 
     
     Besides these, there are many model farms throughout the 
     
     Province.
