TnE VERMONT HoRsr srock FARn.-we

The VERMONT HORSE STocK FARM.-We
were pleased on a recent visit to the farm
of the Vermont Horse Stock Company, in
Shelburn, to note the evidences ofJudlclous
and careful management. The Company
has now six fine stations in its stalls. -Four
of these are the property of the company
Woodburn, Pilot, Claybrino, Yorkshire
Lexington, and Kentucky Boy. Woodburn
Pilot appears to be in splendid condition,
and is making a wide name as a stock
horse. Claybrino, in addition to his
beauty of form and color, is showing
high speed. We saw him put around
the halfmile track of the company
in l.2I, and were assured that he could keep
that speed and increase it, for two miles.
Yorkshire Lexington is a thoroughbred
horse, and has never been IN harness. Ken
lucky Boy is young horse ofmuch promise.
In addition to these the Company has the
services of two fine stations, Bismarck and
Exchange, owned by Mr.. Backman, Of
Stamford, n. Y. Both of them are of the
famous Rysdyck Hambletonian blood, and
piles of money have been offered for Bis
marck, whose owner refuses to place price
upon him. The Company has also Is brood
mares and some 50 colts, ofall ages. Among
them is an exceedingly promising two year
old colt known as Waukegan Chief OF
course, in addition to the improvement of
the blood of stock throughout this re-
gion by the services of these fine horses, the
Company will soon have a number of
fine young animals for sale The farm
generally is looking we'll Last year it was
thought expedient to hire some pasture,
outside of the farm. This year, the Com
pany has relied on its own land for pastur
age and found 1t ample. The crop of hay.
also, in spite of the dry season, is larger
than last year, and worth a good deal more
in money. Mr.. Predmore appears to be the
man for the place. He Is now handling
some of the colts preparatory to exhibition
at the coming State Fair. The Exc c.
utive Committee, Messrs. c. ii. Blodgett.
j. A. Shedd and W. A. Weed, give careful
and intelligent oversight to the affairs Of
the Company. Mr.. Heryey Spencer, Mayor
Dodge, and others of the directors are fire.
quent visitors at the farm, and look well to
its interests. With such care and with
plenty of heavy and public-spirited men
among its stockholders, to back it through,
there can be no doubt that the farm will do
great public service, in the restoration of
the reputation of Vermont as a State for
fine horses, even if it does not prove at once
largely profitable as an investment.

in order for carrying out the prescrip-
ton, he sat down by the stove, his
pedal extremities immersed In warm
water, a tumbler of smoking gin and

a sense of enjoyment stole over him
as lie slipped the exhilerating liquid,
and he fell asleep. His wife had gone
