Y American Institute, attest t' stimation in which this stock 



La held wherever it has I n exhibited for compi tition. About *< 



head of the above cattle area purchase made from E P. Prentice. 

 Esq.. uf Albany, last May 1" ing all the Short Horns of thai gen- 

 tleman, and the product of his four Bdectcd cows retained at his 

 publicsale. These animals have the strain of blood of the hord 

 of Mr. Whittaker. of England from whom Mr Prentice made his 

 principal importations. The other part of the lot ofyoung ani- 

 mals partake largely of the blood of th«> celebrated herd of Thos 

 Rates. Esq.. of Yorkshire, England, from whom my importations 

 have been derived, and are mostly of the get of uiy Imported bull 

 Duke of Wellington, and my prise bull Meteor. The heifers and 

 COWS are and will principally be in naif with these hulls. 



For the information of South m gentlemen who may desire to 

 introduce Durham Btock in that region, and who entertain the 

 opinion that that climate is uncongenial to its successful propa- 

 gation there. 1 here introduce an extract from a letter I received 

 from A G Sumner. Esq. editor of the South Carolinian, dated, 

 Columbia, 25th January. 1849— -The bull you sold Col. Hampton 

 of this State gives him gre it satisfaction : he is a tine animal and 

 I only wish you could Bee some SO head of his get now in his yard 

 They arc the most superb ye iTlings ever bred at the South '" 



Further particulars, and the redigreesof the stock will bo is- 

 sued one month previous to the sale. A credit from G to is

 on the east side of Cayuga Lake, ten miles south west from 

 Auburn. Louis Phillipe was raised by Edward Harris, of itfor- 

 ristown, N\ J., from full-blooded parents, selected in France, and

 hardihood and long life. His color is a beautiful dapple gray with 

 a splendid heavy flowing mane and tail. He is 15 hands high, 5 

 years old, and weighs about 1150 pounds.

 prise and Childers' descent. A beautiful dappled bay colt just 

 coming 5 years, over 16 hands, of powerful close make, round and 

 admirably proportioned.

 either of the subscribers for 3 shillings per week. Accidents and 

 escapes at the risk of the owners. 



We can confidently assert that in size, build and in style of 

 action. Gctirral Gijf'ord more nearly resembles the original Mor- 

 gan Horse than any other stallion, except his sire, the Gilford 

 Morgan. 



The .Morgans, as a breed, are so universally known and esti cm- 

 ed. that we deem it unnecessary to repeat their merits. General 

 Gifford was sired by the (jifford Morgan, his dam a pure Morgan.

 Gifford Morgan, may be found in the Albany Cultivator for 1846
