HORSES. 



There are at present on the farm eight horses, consisting of six heavy team horses, 

 one express horse and one driver. There have been no changes during the year. One 

 horse is now 23 years old, and although in good condition, will likely have to be re- 

 placed shortly. The health and condition of the horses has been good throughout the 

 year.
