TO THE HOUSEKEEPING
PUBIICI

AS we intended campaigning LIS
BURN this season, we decided to keep
him out of the stud service, but as the
demand for his services is stronger
than ever, we have concluded to make
a short campaign, then make fall
season with him in the stud.
We have for stud service at present,
very fine young Wilkes Stallion,
sired by Shamdallah, a strain OF the
Wilkes family, especially noted for
their size, style and action. He is one
of the best of individuals, and many
who have seen him claim him the best
individual they have seen this season.
We are about making deal for a
very fine young Axtel Stallion, that
will also be kept here for the stud
service if we make the deal. So we
ask our patrons and thepublic general.
| ly, to call and see our horses and Learn
our terms, which are very reasonable
before engaging your mares.
For further particulars address,
