try. Before stopping. it was readily
20 be seen, that farming on a large
scale of some kind, was going on
here. This was evidenced by numer-
Gus wind pumps and out buildings /;
prominent among which there seemed
30 be acres upon acres of we'll con-
structei shet.s and stables. Large
numbers of sheep. cattle, and hogs
we're to be seen in every direction.
But the horses, the prominent attrac-

where are they? Only few ste ps
away and we are at the stahles OF
proba bly,. the most promising string
Of trotting aud saddle horses, now to
be found in the state. And why do L
cay this. For the best of reasons, and
these may be found in the blood as
shown by the pedigrees and records of
the stock itself. As the Wilkes blood
Is prominent strain just now, | am
pleased to be shown the yearling stall
lion, Winston Wilkes $3.50. His is
an exceedingly fine large form, six
teen hands high. bright bay, full in
the breast. head erect, full size in
bone and muscle and excellent action.
Hir present size is indicative of easy
maturity, and his most distinguished
pedigree running back to the fifth
dam is readily traced and l give it to
your readers.
