bition by their owner. Vice-President
Levi p Morton, under the immediate
care OF II. NJ Cottrell, who is Mr.
Morton's farm superintendent. The
beauties at the Garden were chosen
on account OF their but
ter records, which are big.
There is for instance, the pet Of

Mr.. Morton has cows at EllerSlie
which have a greater yield than any
recorded here, but for the New York
exhibit it was decided by him to show
only plump cattle and such as were in
good condition.
The destructive fire which destroyed
the extensive barns at Ellerslie, Rhine

tunately did not destroy any of the
valuable stock with which the barns
and yards were crowded. Mr.. Cottrell
makes it his boast that the barn now
in course of construction win be the
largest and most complete of its kind
in the world, and will have room for
400 cattle, besides room for calves. OF

Ellerslie is a princely farm in its
proportions. 1t has more than one
thousand acres Of land, and under the
care OF Mr.. Cottrell, OF whom Mr..
Morton is very proud the magnificent
breeding farm is in the most perfect
possible condition. Mr. Morton's resi-
dence at Ellerslie is very large and
imposing mansion, surrounded by
grounds on which all the most perfect
talents of the finished landscape
artists have been expended.
Enormous lighthouses for flowers
vegetables and grapes are maintained
the year round, and, excepting only the
grounds Immediately surrounding the
private residence of Mr.. Morton. the
entire farm at Ellerslie is open to

signed the Thistle, which was once

Watson would very likely be selected
