believe that the business of raising
horses in the West, is one of the most
important branches of the Farming bus
ness; and the raising of good blooded
horses, far more profitable than the rai-
ng of ordinary ones.
believe also that all Tho light possible
should be obtained in relation to the many
Stock Horses in the country, that breeders
may act understandingly in making their
selection, and not be illisled BY the many
false statements of Irresponsible men, whose
only object is TO get their money without
caring a fig about the Improvements Of
the stock.
Acting upon this belief, and being the
owner of Stock Horse known by the
name of Highland Morgan" which I ex-
pect to keep for years in this vicinity.
hoping thereby to be Of great benefit to
my brother farmers in their breed Of
horses; take pleasure in saying, throue n
the Herald, that the sire of "Highland
Morgan" was sired by the Green Noun
tain Morgan, and his dam was sired b.
Highlander, a celebrate Stock Horse i'm
ported into Hartford county, Connecticut,
from England, by one of the greatest
Horsemen New England ever boosted
Of
Joseph w. Bates, Esqr. la.e of Orange
county, Vermont, in the vicinity of the
home of all the early Molgans, and who
now resides in Lansing, Ala nakee county,
Iowa; a closer AID better judgeknf horse
it is very difficult to find, purchased
"Highland Morgan" of a gentleman then
residing in the State of Connecticut, at a
grea. price, and brought him into the State
of Illinois, in the sIring of 1855, into Ken
dali county, where he has stood for mares
from that time to the present season, and
gained reputation which will appear
from the following extract of letter of
the 4th instant from Alanson K. Wheeler,
Esqr., whose Post Office address is Ken
dali, Kendall county. Illinois, highly re
spectacle farmer, who lately represented
the district in which he lives in the Gene
raj Assembly, and no with HIS sons and
sonsin-law. raise horses by the score, to
whom would refer any person who
will take the trouble to write to him.
"As to Highlands colts, they are well
thought OF, as much or more so than any
other stock we have among us.
They whip tn Lyman Morgan colts
all out. We have both in our neichbor-
hood. The pre- erence is dectde.1y in IA
vor of Highland or.
As to size they are large enough We
have two year old mare out of him
which we will turn out against any mare
colt in the country as for size and good
fashion, and horse colt from the old maze
"Whity" the same age, tina: we intend to
keep for the stable.
He is admired by all, for size, good
points and grace in movement. He can
not be beat in appearance, and has never
been petted, nor had anything but com
mon chance.
Highlander would have done a right
smart business within this year at ssdvanc-
ed rates.
| might add much more in the way
Of testimonials but do not think it neces-
sary.
The facts al. few and simple and stated
undera due Sc nse of responsibility to the
public, and W Il, will no doubt, hive far
more weight than the sayings Of busy bo-
dies, who, to lie neglect of their own bus
mess iii they have any are ever modelling
wit that Of Tiers.
