AXtell stood for $40 the season of
1885, Now his book fills at $1,000

Why? Because he can trot.
Give colt plenty of room for excr-
else, in order to harden his muscle,
and stimulate his appetite, and he will
grow faster and make better horse
when matured.
II. S. Goodpaster, of Owingsville,
Ky, has farmed his Baron Wilkes

Hamilton's sale last February.
a very common mistake among
horseman is to call all animals by
certain sire out of different mares half
brothers or sisters as the case may be. |
This, is wrong; only animals out of
the same dam and different horses
should be so called.

YORK., for $1,000.
One Of the greatest colts in Califor-
lia is sired by Electionoer out of Lulu

great cross if this fine fellow is any
