At Grannollers, they bought a magnificent five year old, 15-1/2 hand jack called Jumbo, which was afterwards sold for $2,000, and........" Deceptive Breeding Power: "Worth mentioning is the deceptive breeding power of some good jacks whose pedigrees are short and who came from defective families. Any animal possesses, and passes on, the characteristics of his race. If there are inferior animals in his pedigree near him, some of their inferior points are more liable to appear in his offspring. No cross-bred animal can breed according to his personality. He can not show in the conformation of his body more than half the qualities which he carries and transmits.

This is true even in those regions in which they are best known, while in many sections of our country absolutely nothing is known of them. They simply know that a donkey is a donkey, and that the end of it.

Step by step he mounted the ladder which was destined to carry him to the goal of his ambition - to prove to the world, by the average prices obtained for his stock, that he was breeding the best jacks and jennets in the world.

Previous to the war, I was extensively engaged in breeding stock, especially the jacka dn jennet. I had procured a first-class jennet jack, Maringo Mammoth, at the cost of $2,160, and after using him exclusively as a jennet jack at $40 per jennet. I had at the time about seventy-five jacks and jennets and was compelled to farm many of them out to stockmen on the shares...."
