Is there a best-chance com bination to insure success? What about a best color cross? ¥ It’s important to remember that a palomino horse refers to the horse’s color and not a specific breed. Almost any breed may have an occassional horse with the palomino cole *. However, certain breeds carry more of the genes for this color than others. K. Allen Manheim Much of the known genetic information about the palomino comes from studies of the Quarter Horse breed. In order for a horse to be considered a palomino, the body color must be close to the color of an untarnished U.S. gold com. The mane and tail must be white with less than 15 percent dark hairs mixed in. \A ly Dr. Sheaffer comments: Along with the color PUBLI OF ANTIQUES AND From “The Buck” miles to River Road River Road and McKe SATURDAY, 9:30 Maytag washer; Seai refrigerator frost free, piano and stool; rugs; 9x! rugs, table lamps; 3 pc suite w/smgle bed; od( mirrors, occassional ch; bed Imens; cane seated what-not-shelves, 7 fold) ironing board; fireplace bvmg room suite; 1973 hard top, AM/FM stereo,, ANTI BENCH TABLE ANI Marble top wash stand and bureau; desk (Butler) marble top occassional table; nice large copper kettle; old mantle & wall clock; 2 hanging wall racks metal and wooden hangers; dry sink (needs repair) large dinner bell, wagon seat; apple peeler; 2 sets butchering ladles, 5 large butcher forks; 2 brass face spring scales; kerosene lamps and globes; brass horse w/Indian rider; lanterns; old platform rocker, Copper wash boiler, Kerosene lamp on stand; 2 toilet sets (not complete) old dishes (Germany) KAS WARDROBE Round oak ex table w/5 boards; 6 spindle back plank bottom &6 - spindle back plank bottom, old bureau, 2 slaw cutting boards; rope & spool bed; wash stand; round drop leaf table; old wooden chest, side saddle; high kitchen stool; iron boot jack; flat irons; kerosene room heater; 2 & 3 burner kerosene stoves; wicker wash basket & other baskets; wicker table & hamper; old table lamps; wood under the bed chest buffet w/mirror; wash board; rolling pm; individual salts; bottles; butter dish; 2 strings bells; food chopper; Singer treadle sewing machine, wooden commode.

Steve Petersheim Food stand by St. Catherine Catholic Church Not responsible for accidents criteria, the horse must stand over 14 hands and weigh at least 900 pounds when mature. If a horse meets all of the above standards, it is eligible for registration as a palomino. The palomino color is a heterozygous condition, meaning that the horse has a dominant and a recessive gene for coat color. This gets us into the realm of genetics, based on the laws of probability. A complete genetic ex planation of the palomino trait inheritance is too complex a subject to try to discuss in detail. To try to simplify things, let’s look at some of the possible color combinations and the chances of breeding a foal with the palomino color. A very light palomino is called a ‘creamello’. These horses have light skin and one or two blue eyes. Creamellos are distinctly different from Albinos which have pink skin, white hair and may have pink or blue eyes. TIN WARE Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 31,1980—C39 Some geneticists believe that the creamello has a homozygous condition for coat color. In other words, they have two recessive genes for color. Theoretically then, breeding a sorrel (or chestnut) to a true creamello would give a palomino foal 100 percent of the tune. In actual practice, however, this does not always hold true, probably because we do not usually know the exact genetic make-up of the horses we are breeding. If you are breeding two palominos to each other, the foal has a 50 percent chance Laurel Auction Block may open early LAUREL, Del - The Laurel Auction Block is scheduled to open around July 10 this year, but if there’s enough produce available for buyers, it could open earlier, reports University of Delaware extension vegetable specialist Mike Orzolek Block manager Dave Horton has announced that the market is expanding the line of vegetables it will handle this summer Besides the usual watermelons and can taloupes, he expects to be auctioning peppers, squash, cucumbers, honey dews, and pumpkins. mese should be available in larger quantities during 1980 as Delmarva growers increase acreage of these commodities.

By the laws of probability, two out of four foals should be palomino every time two palominos are mated. This would also be the case if you breed a palomino to a sorrel. It has been found that when breeding two sorrel Quarter Horses, the foal will have the palomino color 25 percent of the time. Of course, this theory based on probability will vary ac cording to the family lines involved m the mating. for the Laurel Block is September 15. If there are enough melons or other crops available for buyers, it will stay open longer than that this year. Prospects look good for watermelon and cantaloupes m the Delaware-Maryland area, reports Orzolek. Quality should be excellent barrmg any heavy mid summer rams Delaware’s vegetable crop acreage is up five percent over 1979 and growing conditions have been good to excellent for early plantmgs of summer-harvested vegetables. Buyers and/or growers interested in knowing more about schedules and sales arrangements at the Laurel market should call Block manager Dave Horton at 302/875-3147 (day) or 302/629- 6371 (night).
