lsTERED Wednesday evening
last we made a visit to the residence of
Mr.. VIM. NJ. Snyner, formerly of JEFF
fersoD, but who now resides on the
Stuue House farm of Hon. &. j. Faux
ner, adjoining the corporation, for the
purpose of taking look at his fine herd
10 thoroughbred registered Jersey
stock. MIR. Snyder is thoroughly up
in the business of breeding fine stock,
and we congratulate Mr. Faulkner in
securing so excellent tenant, and st
the same time being Instrumental in
bringing to our county a gentleman so
thoroughly acquainted with the bust
ness of breeding and rearing thorough
bred stock We hope that the location
of Mr.. Snyder in our midst with his
fine Jerseys, will stimulate our farmers
to improving their dairy stock, as it will
give them an opportunity to see the
great advantage, in every respect, of
thoroughbreds over scalawags.

Mr.. Snyder. Sired by the celebrated
trotter, Latham, record 1921. He by

well bred into the Black Hawk and
Copper bottom stock, and is fast trot-
ter. Arlington is sorrel with little
white on ankles behind aud little spot
in forehead. He is powerfully muscled
and of very blood like appearance; his
eyes indicate resolution and courage,
indeed, in point of form, size, DISPOSE
ton and blood, few colts are likely to
be more valuable than darlington"
And we are informed by MIR. Daily,
trainer, that after years Of experience
he is the most promising colt he ever
handled, and we have no doubt that he
will be able to get record that will add
lustre to the reputation of his noble
sires, some of the family of which have
made the fastest time on record Mar
tinsburg Independent.
