going into the history of the New /

marked like their mother, and so
closely do they resemble each other

The sire OF these colts is an Inn

a syndicate Of farmers at West Not

among the best bred animals in this
section.
Senator Ellison had much trouble
in rearing the colts One of them,
Billy, he came near losing as the colt
was hardly alive when foaled and for
some hours after its birth Mr. Ellison
dispaired of saving its life. II took
him half a day before he could get
sufficient nourishment into the colt TO
give it any strength at all. After
that IL was raised on a bottle until
