LEWIS G. MOItRIS' 



THIRD ANNUAL SALE, BY AUCTION, OF 



Improved Breeds of Domestic Animals 



WILL TAKE PLACE AT 



MOUNT FORDHAM, Westchester Co., (11 miles from City 

 Hall, New York,) on Wednesday, JUNE 9, 1852. 



JAMES M. MILLER, Auctioneer. 



APPLICATION need not be made at private sale, as I de- 

 cline in all cases, so as to make it an object for persons at 

 a distance to attend. Sale positive to the highest bidder, with- 

 out reserve. 



Numbering about fifty head of Horned Stock, including a 

 variety of ages and sex, consisting of Pure Bred Short Horns, 

 Devons, and Avrshires; Southdown Buck Lambs, and a very 

 few Ewes; Suffolk and Essex Swine. Catalogues, ''with full 

 Pedigrees, &c, <fcc, will be ready for delivery on the first of 

 May— to be obtained from the subscriber, or at the offices of 

 any of the principal Agricultural Journals or Stores in the 

 Union. This sale will offer the best opportunity to obtain 

 very line animals I ever have given, as I shall reduce my herd 

 lower than ever before, contemplating a trip to Europe, to be 

 absent a year, and shall not have another sale until 1854. 



It will be seen by reference to the proceedings of our State 

 Agricultural Society that I was the most successful exhibitor 

 of Domestic Animals, at the late State Fair. 



/ will also offer a new feature to American Breeders — one 

 which works well in Europe; that is, letting the services of 

 male animals; and will solicit propositions from such as see 

 fit to try it. Conditions— The animal hired, to be at the risk 

 of the owner, unless by some positive neglect or carelessness 

 of the hirer; the expense of transportation to and from, to be 

 borne jointly ; the term of letting, to be one year or less, as 

 parties agree; price to be adjusted by parties— to be paid in 

 advance, when the Bull is taken away; circumstances would 

 vary the price; animal to be kept in accordance with instruc- 

 tions of owner, before taking him away. 



I offer on the foregoing conditions, three celebrated Prize 

 Bulls, "Major," a Devon, nine years old; "Lamartine," Short 

 Horn, four years old; "Lord Eryholme," Short Horn, three 

 years old. Pedigrees will be given in Catalogues. 



At the time of my sale, (and I would not part with them be- 

 fore) I shall have secured two or three yearly setts of their 

 progeny; and as I shall send out in August next a new impor- 

 tation of male animals, I shall not want the services of either 

 of these next year. I would not sell them, as I wish to keep 

 control of their propagating qualities hereafter. 



I also have one imported Buck, the prize winner at Roches- 

 ter last fall, imported direct from the celebrated Jonas Webb; 

 and also five yearling Bucks, winners also, bred by me, from 

 Bucks and Ewes imported direct from the above celebrated 

 breeder; they will be let en the same conditions as the Bulls 

 excepting that I will keep them until the party hiring wishes 

 them, and they must be returned to me again on or about 

 Christmas Day. By this plan, the party hiring gets rid of the 

 risk and trouble of keeping a Buck the year round. All com- 

 munications by mail must be prepaid, and I will prepay the 

 answers. L. G. MORRIS.

THIS Company was chartered in March, 1844, and com- 

 menced business on the first of June, 1845. Its business is 

 conducted on the most economical principles. 



The well considered and invariable policy of this Company

 the showy advantages of a large number of policies, and an

 aged.

 most approved tables of the probability of life, and at the low- 

 est rates which are deemed safe. 



Pamphlets, explaining the principles and advantages of life
