John C. Stice - Located on his farm near Dripping Springs, in Perche township, has paid considerable attention to draft-stock breeding. In about 1874 he purchased a fine two year old stallion from John Pollard, of Randolph county. The horse was one of great power and muscle, of the Sampson-Arabian stock, and stood sixteen hands high at two years old. The dam was a Whip and Morgan, brought from Kentucky. About a year later he bought a fine Illinois jack, which proved to be a fine breeder, and was sire to some of the best mules in the county. After thoroughly testing the breeding qualities of these animals to the satisfaction of every one, he disposed of them and purchased a coal black stallion sixteen and a half hand high, and four years old, weighting sixteen hundred pounds. The horse had a fine carriage and style generally. He was sired by Rattler Morgan, and he by Green Mountain Black hawk, his dam by Old highlander, and her dam by Messenger Grand Duke, and he by Cherokee, also having some Norman blood in him. This was one of the finest colts ever brought to Missouri. Mr. Stice also purchased of A. Winn. of boon county a fine young jack , bred by Mr. Winn from stock that has never been surpassed for style, bone and muscle. He shows fine colts, some of which are premium stock. Mr. Stice has always made a practice of giving premiums on the best colts sired by his animals, in order to stimulate breeders to take good care of stock, thereby improving the grade and quality. Mr Stice’s book for the season of 1882, shows $1,250 booked from this source. He has his farm well stocked with good grades of cattle, hogs, and sheep, and never fails to concern himself actively in behalf of stock improvement.
