Baron Wilkes, that earned a four year
old record OF 2ll -. and with them a
band of choice brood mares.
Both horses are now in the North. but
several OF their get owned at the farm
are very promising.
A two year old hlly by Baronet out OF

Not so much attention is paid 10 trot-
tiers now as OF yore at Alamance. but
the poultry department has been a sue
cess from the start, and has captured
great numcbr Of premiums. winning
over the strongest competition at all the
big North Carolina fairs in 1896. Shetland
ponies too, are an exceedingly attractive
feature OF the establishment. The trio
of Shetland stations in use are Governor
Peck, a prize winner at the Worlds
Fair; Dupont and Montrose. The latter
is bay and four years old He is only
thirty-six inches high and weighs a lit
tie over 200 pounds, but almost perfect
ly formed and one OF the handsomest of
his tribe The brood mare band numbers
thirty head, selected from the Wood
burn, Elmeudorf and other noted Ken
lucky studs. Breeding Shetland ponies
is rather an innovation in North Caro-
lima, but the demand already is active.
and Mr.. Holt will very likely increase the
stud at Alamance and furnish premium
winners as in other departments of the
farm. The docillty of the Shetland is
proverbial, and as pets for children. they
are without an equal.
