MORGANS IN ST. LAWRENCE GO,
From American C%ultivator.l

We are indebted to DR.. w. II. Har-
wood, Chasm Falls, N. Y, for the fol-
lowing, which shows what the breeders
in that section of the Empire State are
doing in the way of horse breeding.
AT Bangor is the Lyon stock farm,
owned and managed by Mr.. Newell
Green. Here is beyond any doubt the
largest and finest lot of the descendants
of Old Morrill, to be found on any one
farm in the world. At the head of Mr..
Green's equine family is Young Lyon.
He is twelve years old, black as night,
10! hands high, and weighs about 1850
pounds. He was raised by Mr.. Green,
and was sired by Gen. Lyon, son of Old
Morrill,. As all horse owners know.
Gen. Lyon was strongly inbred to the
Morgan strains, his sire, Morrill,, being a
direct descendant of Justin Morgan, and
his dam tracing in several lines to the
same noted founder of the Morgan stock.
This goodly inheritance of Morgan blood
in Gen. Lyon was well backed up with a
fair mount of the blood of those famous
old imported horses, Messenger and Do
med.
zone would have to travel far to look
upon twenty-five grander, more stylish
and perfect trotting and road horses than
the twenty-five in Mr.. Green's stables.
every one of which is descended from
Young Lyon. Besides Young Lyon, Mr..
Green has two other handsome stations.
sons of Young Lyon, and full brothers.
Their dam is a descendant of Sherman
Black Hawk (North Horse), and carries
also in her veins the blood of Adams
Flying Morgan. All of the descendants
OF \ Dung Lyon are grand, stylish, hand
some and fast trotters, being unsurpassed
for their splendid action when in motion.
"While speaking of Morrill, horses in
this county, | must not forget to men
ton Sam Perkins, son of Young Morrill,,
who has always been owned in this Vi
cinity. He is now nineteen years old,
and has some fine stock in this section to
his credit.
"Rock Spring Stock farm is the prop
erty of II. ID. 81 II. c. Thompson, Malone,
? n. Y, and it located two miles east of
Malone village. Here are found over

found in the country. In establishing
their stock farm and selecting their ami

gard only to getting the best. Their old

Black Hawk; second dam by Black Ly

dam by Barney Henry, son of Signal
fourth dam by Bishops Hambletonian
