Northern Charmer is a dark bay with black points, and was foaled on December I2th, 1905. He has many good points to recommend him as a sire. He has splendid feet and pasterns, plenty of flat bone, good action, and a sound constitution, with a very docile temper. . Northern Charmer is not one of those big awkward elks that farmers try to avoid, but is a splendidly proportioned horse possessing great muscle and strength in a fairly small compass. Mhe judge (Mr. J. Baxter) at the Masterton A. and P. Show, 1909, gave Northern Charmer special praise for his splendid feet, and considered him a model for a farmers' class of stallion. He was awarded 2nd prize in the 3-year-old class at the Masterton A. and P. Show, 1909, and also 3rd prize for 3 years and over at the Woodville A. and P. Show, 1909. Northern Charmer was got by that well-known horse Fernside —by Pride of Strathmore, by Extinguisher. Fernside's dam, Darling, by Nil Desperandum. Northern Charmer's dam, Maggie, was by Hero, by Kelvin, by Prince Soyal (McKellar's), by Prince Charlie (imp.). The foregoing pedigree is sufficient to show that Northern Charmer has on both sides the best Clydesdale Dlood in the Dominion, and his breeding alone should command the confidence of farmers throughout the district. Intending breeders will find it to their advantage to carefully consider the merits of Northern Charmer as he is the stamp of sire to get the class of all-round horse so greatly in demand.
