George ". Sherwood.
Any attempted history of the breeding inter
ests of Minnesota that should fail to give the
operations of the gentleman whose name
stands at the head of this article prominent
position, would do great injustice. Still, SC
quietly has he conducted his breeding business
that very few of his most intimate acquaint
ances, comparatively, have any idea OF the
magnitude of his operations, or of the excel
lence of the stock to be seen at his breeding
farm. While Mr. Sherwood is a resident Of
ST. Paul, his breeding farm is located on the
outskirts of the village of Sheldon, Sioux coun-
ty, Iowa, on the line of the St. Paul 81 Sioux
City railroad, some thirty miles from the
Minnesota State line. The farm consists OF
$40 acres of rich rolling prairie, with an
abundance of pure water, and in all respects
well adapted to the raising of stock. Large
and ,,commodious buildings have been con-
structed for the care and comfort of the stock,
when necessary to be housed, and all that
intelligent foresight and liberal expenditures
can do, has and is being done to make.the farm
the equal of any similar establishment in the
Northwest.
Mr.. Sherwood's breeding operations en-
braces both horses and cattle-hls specially in
the latter line being short horns-but at this
time we desire simply to invite attention to
the horse department, of which we give be-
low a brief sketch of the different animals.
AS will be seen by the list Mr.. Sherwood is
breeding both the trotter and draft horses,
though the attention paid to the former
largely overshadows the latter. A perusal of
the breeding of the different animals mention
ed is all that is needed to satisfy any horseman
that Mr.. Sherwood is not operating in a hap
hazard, come and 60 manner, but that every
thing he has done so far has been backed by
intelligence and sound judgment Read the

AGdirS at KittsOndate.
Affairs at Kittsondale are moving along
very smoothly. The three year-old filly Vic
torine, by Rollo, seriously i'll for several days,
and in the hands of DIR. C. C. Berkman, has
almost entirely recovered and will be returned
to the farm in day or two. the first foal,
the colt Edmund Rice, by Marcus, son of Rol-
10, dam by Peacemaker, is beauty and every
way worthy his distinguished breeding, and
the distinguished name given him by the
GLOBE. The stock generally, both trotters
and thoroughbreds, are in good condition.
