tocrats of the bovine species, the
Alec. Jerseys, which will COM
pare with the best strains OF these
| favorite cattle in the country,
His herds of Hoistein' Frieslan
and short horn cattle, together
with the Jersies above mentioned,
have taken first premiums at every
one of the main fairs, cattle shows,
ETC., where they have been exhibit
ed The same can be said OF his
Isheep, which are the finest strains
of imported breeds, selected espec,
ially for their wool land fine flesh.
At the present time he has75 head
of horses on the farm, one quarter
of which are colts and the greater
portion of the remainder brood
mares.
His management of the horses
illustrates the kindness of the man
and gives hit of his real incentive
for turning a part of his attention
to the stock farm business. There
is not an animal on the place but
what will come at the beck and call
of Colonel Carter or his employees.
From the time they are dropped
until they are put into the harness
they are hsbituated to being han
died. and 3-year-old colts, being
hitched up tor the first time, settle
down to their work with the steadi,
ness and regularity of old stagers.
There is no nervousness and no
wildness; their breeding and treat,
ment from birth beinglwith the aim
to develop the intelligence of the
animal. The results are wonderful
and to the casual observer it would
seem that these splendid colts
while not lacking in animal spirits,
could not be frightened by any Jun
usual sight, sound or noise, or that
anything could cause them to lose
their heads. This trait is due either
to their breeding or their gentle
handling, possibly both, and, when
it is considered what use will De
made of the colts when broken tc
harness, a most desirable trait.
Colonel Carter has been especial
ly fortunate in his selection of a
superintendent, Mr.. J. L. Paul, than
whom no better can be found.
