Sir John Arnott proposes to carry out an
excellent project on his estate in. West
Cork, where he contemplates establish
ing a stock raising department, to be pro.
yided with the best sires for producing
hunters, carriage horses, and flrst-class
hackney animals, now so much sought
after. These sires are to be hired to the
tenantry on Sir Johns estate, at a mere
nominal figure, IN order to encourage the
breeding of valuable stock. In the pro-

to end there. In the swine and sheep
departments of the farm there will be
available the very best bred animals that
can be procured. Sir John also intends
giving annual prizes for samples of the
best butter.
