THE CULTIVATOR. April, 
Short-Horns at Auction. 
I 1 ''HE subscriber being about disposing of 50 acres of his farm, 
J- for public purposes, will offer at public sale 30 hea«a of Short- 
Horn Durham Cattle, (being about one-half of his present, herd.) 
at his farm, 2% miles from this city, on the 13th day of June next, 
at 11 o’clock in the forenoon, consisting of yearling, two year old 
and three year old heifers and cows, and 11 young bulls, from 10 
months to 2| years old. Great care has been observed and consi¬ 
derable expense incurred, in selecting and breeding this stock 
with reference to.purity of blood and dairy qualities. The awards 
of the New York State Ag. Society, and the N. Y. American In¬ 
stitute, attest the estimation in which it is held, wherever it has 
been exhibited for competition. Ahout eight head of the above 
cattle, are part of a purchase made last May, of E. P. Pi - entice, 
Esq., of Albany, embracing ail the Short Horns of that gentleman, 
and were the product of the four selected cows he retained at his 
public sale, and possessed much of the blood of the herd of Mr. 
Whittaker, of England, from whom Mr. P. made importations of 
stock. The other portion of the young stock inherit much of the 
blood of the herd of T. Bates, Esq. of Yorkshire, Eng, from whom 
my importations have been made, being one and two crosses of 
the imported bull Duke of Wellington, and the premium bull Me¬ 
teor. All the heifers of suitable age, are or will be in calf by these 
bulls. 
For the information of Southern gentlemen, who may be desir¬ 
ous of introducing Durham stoek in that region, and who may en¬ 
tertain an opininon, that that climate is not congenial to their suc¬ 
cessful propagation there, I submit the following extract of a letter 
I received from A. G, Summer, Esq., editor of the South Carolini¬ 
an, dated Columbia, January 25, 1849: 
“ The bull you sold Col. Hampton, of tin’s State, gives him great 
satisfaction; he is a fine animal, and I only wish you could see 
some 20 of his get, now in his yard. They are the most superb 
yearlings ever bred in the South, and your stoek will not suffer from 
him.” The pedigrees of the animals will be issued and circula¬ 
ted a month previous to day of sale. A liberal credit will be given 
—say 6 to 12 and 18 months, if desired The particulars will be 
given in the pedigree list. GEO. VAIL.

Farm for Sale. 
'T’HE subscriber will sell his farm of 300 acres, situate near the 
centre of the town of Hillsdale, in the county of Columbia, 
known as the 
MC KINS TRY PLACE , 
Having been possessed by that family about a century, lying adja¬ 
cent or contiguous to the route of the Harlem Railroad, and upon 
which there are 2 good and convenient dwelling houses, one a re¬ 
cently built cottage, and barns, sheds, lofts, and numerous out hou¬ 
ses, two wells of pure soft water of a superior quality, excellent or¬ 
chards of grafted fruit, fine stone wall fences, some first rate fields 
for any kind of grain, about 45 acres of meadow land, and about 
80 acres of wood land, well watered by springs ; three small 
Streams run through it, the head waters of the Roeliff Jansen’s 
Kill or Creek rendering it a desirable farm for grazing, and valua¬ 
ble to practical farmers for other purposes of husbandry. It is ca¬ 
pable of being divided into two good farms. Title made, unques¬ 
tionable by the undersigned, with the aid and assent of Judge 
Augustus Tremain, who now resides on the premises; land now 
worked and occupied by Mr. James Darrow. The farm is now 
well stocked with Devonshire cattle, and a choice flock of Saxon 
sheep, which, together with the farming utensils, will go with the 
old Homestead, if the purchaser wishes.

The old Morgan Gilford, 
T'HE highest Hooded Morgan Stallion now remaining, will stand 
this season at the stable of F. A. Wier, in Walpole, N. H.

The Genuine Morgan Horse 
Gj_ENERAL GIFFORD, will stand the ensuing season, on Mon- 
u days and Tuesdays, at the stable of Geo. A. Mason, 2£ miles 
north-east of Jordan ; Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at the 
stable of D. A. Munro, in Camillus; on Saturdays, at the stable of 
John C. Munro, in Bellisle. 
Terms, $10 to insure. Mares that are not placed directly in 
charge of the subscribers, must be regularly returned through the 
season. AH persons parting with mares before the usual time of 
foaling, will be held for the $10. Pasturage furnished by either 
of the subscribers, at 3 shillings per week. Accidents and escapes 
at the risk of the owners. 
We can confidently assert that in size, build and style of action, 
General Gifford more nearly resembles the original Morgan Horse, 
than any other stallion, except his sire, the Gifford Morgan. 
The Morgans, as a breed, are so universally kno wn and esteem¬ 
ed, that we deem it unnecessary to repeat their merits. 
General Gifford was got by the Gifford Morgan, his dam a Mor¬ 
gan mare. A full description of the origin of the Morgans, and 
the pedigree of Gifford Morgan, may be found in the Cultivator 
for 1846, p. 19. MUNRO & MASON.

The Imported Horse Consternation 
WAS bred by Mathew Hornsey, Esq., of Stitenham, Yorkshire, 
England, in the year 1841. He was imported by C. T. Ab- 
*bot, Esq., in the year 1845. He is now owned by J. B. Burnet, 
Esq., of Syracuse, N. Y., and will serve a limited number of 
mares the ensuing season, at his own stables, near the village of 
Geddes, two miles west of Syracuse. The very best pastures, 
with plenty of water and the most secure fences, will be provided 
for mares sent from a distance, at two shillings and six pence a 
week. No mare taken except at the risk of the owner. 
Consternation is of a beautiful, unfading dapple brown color- 
stands 15 hands and 3 inches high, and is remarkable for vigor of 
constitution, uncommon development of bone and muscle, and an 
intelligent kind docile position He is compact and short-legged, 
yet of a rangey and majestic figure. His chest and flank are re¬ 
markably full and deep. His action is easy and graceful, yet proud 
and commanding. 
But what is more important perhaps than either, he is entirely 
thorough-bred. There is no taint of mongrel stock in his long line 
of ancestry. Indeed there is no horse living, with a more distin¬ 
guished or genuine pedigree. 
His ancestors were of unusual size and strength, and every one 
of them of good disposition and free from blemishes. His pedi¬ 
gree is briefly as follows, viz : 
By Confederate—dam Curiosity, by Figaro,—her dam by Waxy; 
Confederate was bred by Earl Fitz William, got by Comus—by 
Cervantes, by Sir Peter, by High Flyer,, by King Herod, by Flying 
Childers. Figaro was got by Hap Hazard, by Sir Peter, out of 
Mrs. Harvey, by English Eclipse, &c., &c., See. 
This pedigree is in every particular true and genuine, and can 
be abundantly established by reference to certificates and volumes 
of the Stud Book in the possession of the subscriber. 
As to the character of Consternation’s stock, reference is offered 
to fra Hitchcock, Oneida Castle ; Henry Rhodes, Trenton; A. 
Ford or John Best, Rome, and to farmers generally in that 
vicinity. 
Terms $5 in advance, and $5 additional if the mare is got in 
foal. April 1.—3t. J- B. BURNET.
