Ship Fifty -Four Horses to Scotland From Seaforth The largest Shipment of horses from Seaforth in twenty-two years, left here on Saturday When fifty-four heavy farm horses were loaded at the stockyards for export to Glasgow and thence to Perth, Scotland. From early morning until afternoon these splendid animals were arriving in town; singly and in groups, coming from various parts of Huron, Perth and 13i-uce counties, as far away as Lucknow. One horse got here about noon after a walk of thirty miles; others carne by truck. The, total purchase .price of the shipment was in the neighborhood of $10,000. Mr. William Leiper of Hullett township received the highest price for a horse, $255.00. WilliamCudmore, veteran Seaforth horse buyer, purchased the horses, most of which were bought during the ten days preceding shipment: Williamson Bros. of Toronto, were the shippers. Mr. Thomas ("Long Tom") Wil- lianiscm, who was here arranging for the ship- ment, said it was one of the finest lots of horses of this type which had ever been exported from Canada, In 1916 a shipment of 100 horses went from Seaforth to Quebec, but in the intervening years shipments have been small. Last year Mr. Cudmore shipped one carload of 18 horses. There is a shortage of horses in northern Scot- land this year due to losses from grass fever. Mr, Cudmore is this week buying another carload, this time for Stewart Bros. of Montreal, also for shipment to Glasgow. The above photo was taken by The News on Saturday morning. NEW HONEY 8 LB.
