The other day, one of the Winslow brothers, of
Fountain, with three fine stations of the Nor
man French blood, for which they claim great
merit. King" now years old, is sire OF the
other two. They are beauties, and behave
handsomely in harness. King Is three
weighs 1,64Opounds, and is an exceedingly well
proportioned animal. ''Rolley' and Snap
are both years old, weigh about 1900 pounds
each, tho former fve-eights Norman and the
latter one-half Norman. These two stations
were raised and trained by the Winslow BROTH
handsome team, and are of eaN and quick
movement. Their progeny will be valuable:
Farmers desiring to improve their stock will
do well to examine these stations"
HORSE RAISING IN MINNESOTA.
The following good words for Minneso-
tians as class, and the breeding interests of
the State, is from Dunton's SPIRIT Of The
zWaJ:
There is an indescribable pleasure in travel
ing through Minnesota, either on business or
pleasure. The people of that State seem as
different from the people in the States from
which they emigrated as it ia possible to become
| in q short period. They are more like the old
time Southern planter than the hard-fsted
Yankee. More of the millionaire than the mill
| er; more of the gentleman than countryman;
u
Where and however you find Minnesotian, he
never forgets that he is a gentleman. But
! Minnesota is like the Southern States in their
| days of great wealth in more ways than one.
Her acres are equally broad and productive,
while horses, oxen and mules take the place OF
slave labor of the South. Thus the great land
owners of Minnesota, Dakota, Nebraska, and
Kansas have fallen into the positions one oc-
lcupied by the great plantation owners of the
South, and are growing rich from the labor of
horses as the Southerner did from that of the
I,colored man.
Thousands of gentlemen of wealth and in-
huence now cultivate the soil of the great
West, and gallop over their broad fields on
l5horseback, proudly watching the ripening
wheat ears, as the Southern planter used towatch
his crop of hemp, rice, sugar-cane or tobacco.
Thus the people of the great West are rapidly
learning the ways and forming the habits of
the ''solid South" When men become wealthy
they ought, and doubtless do. become more
liberal. AS they become rich they also become
buyers or breeders of fine horses:
Hence, we not only see marked
improvement in Minnesota in this respect, but
lexpect to see greater improvement in years tc
come. And what the bluegrass counties are
to Kentucky, in the breeding of fine horses
these States will be to the world in the nea,
future. We do not care to enlarge upon thi
proposition, but simply throw it out to the
great multitude of newspaper writer's as
cry dogs who stand about his shop for bon'
J to pick. The soil, water, climate, all consplr
!, together to bring about such result.
