BIG LEBANON FARM
 HOME OF HOLSTEiNs Black and White Cattle Dot the Fields at Elisha Waterman's Wood land,

On recent trip through Lebanon, one of the big places at which a par ty of the directors of the New Lon don County Agricultural society stop ped off for awhile. was the Woodland stock farm of farmer Representative Elisha Waterman, one of the pro- gressive citizens of Lebanon. MT Waterman has $50 acres in all and one of his pastures is an even 50 acres in extent. His land commences on the edge of Bozrahville, not far from the ruins of the Hillhouse paper mill, built by the former chief of police of Willimantic. who is now at the head Of the detective bureau of the Erie road. All the Waterman land Is high and dry. and there is ample room for the 45 beautiful Holsteins the own CT Is always glad to show to people interested in likely cattle.
 Colantha Paul de Kol Tnsch bred by F. D. Randall of Brockton, Mass. Is the particular pride of the Wood land barns. The sire of this trim an- imal was King Colantha Pietertje and the dam Pet Paul de Kol Tnsch. End The bull is only a year old, but he is one of the choice animals of his breed and Mir Waterman expects him to be heard from in the world of Holsteins. His sire Is the son Of the champion milch COW of the world, and the aver ages Of his dam and greatdam were 653 pounds of milk in a week and 31.6S pounds of butter in a week. The 30 day record was 2.957.15 milk and
 122.34 butter, with 331 butter fat. The grandsire, Colantha Johanna, 720 A. R. S., was in his time the cham pion bull of the world. D. w. Field of Montello, Mass. his owner, refused $32,000 for him recently. The grand dam. De Kol Creamelle, was the worlds champion milch COW. In one day she gave 119.06 pounds. in seven days 7S0.06, in 30 days 3,2O0.03. in SO days 6.14S.02. in 90 days 9106.03 in 100 days 10,017.00 and in 355 days 26. .2S0.00. In butter she made in seven days 28.13, in 30 days 1o6.1s. in 50 100 days S35.50O
 Every animal on the Waterman place was bred by the owner. who does not allow a COW to have a calf until she is 30 months old, and ne prefers that she be three years old. He takes personal charge of all the details of the stock farm. and every animal in his pastures will eat from his hand, while many of them will make friends with any strangers their Several Norwich men that love sleek animals with good stuff in them have called on MT. Waterman this summer to see his HolsteiRs, which the fair management hope may be represented at the fair in September.
 "aloTI1dI IS IOnQ Ol HOTSeS and, although he runs an automobile he still knows what a good horse Is. He owns Almato, by Cochato, who had a three-year-o mark of 2.11 1-2. Cochato was by Todd, 2.14 3-4. by Bingen, POS. The dam of this pretty animal was Lady Alma, by Alcanta, 2.1S. She was bought at Madison Square Garden horse show by A. H.

The Earl Is considered by horsemen one of the best sires in New England. Lady Earlwood is a fine. of speed. Her owner rather expects she will pace. He had trotters at the 1913 fair and may show up with a good one this year.

Hoxie is the owner of about 50 head of Holsteins that attract a good bit of attention on his we'll cared for farm of 1855 acres about one and a half miles from Lebanon Green. His bull Is Korndyke Burke de Kol Lad sire Fairview Korndyke dam Korn- dyke Queen de Kol Lady 3rd, grandsire Pontiac Kordyke. who was a great bull in York state for a number of years prior to his death last winter. He had the reputation of getting more l S0-and-up daughters than any other bull of the breed. The seven day record of his grandma, Pontias Pet, was 37.6S, or the best on record in the world at that time. MT. Hoxie has several cows that consistently milk from 50 to 61 pounds a day. MT.
