 A pretty good stable of speed, all of which can spoil three min- 

 utes in liarness on the trot. 



There is a race course on my farm, established three years 

 ago, called the Prairie Trotting Course, which has and is doing 

 very much to imprpve stock of horses in this county. 



Yours truly, E. Adams.
