— i by and just west of that dwelling is
a collection of young cedar trees
which will soon compose a typical
evergreen forest on that plot of
ground.
In the colonels big equine herd
are some twenty or more head of
young mules, ranging in ages from
'one to four years old. He is now
i breaking fpr work ten head of his
three and four year-old. A fine
thoroughbred Kentucky jack is con-
nected with that herd of equines, also
a beautiful thoroughbred stallion.
Many large brood mares are also in
this herd.
His cattle herd consists of
Durhams, Jerseys and some
standard strains. One of the attrac-
tive features of that herd is a reg-
istered Pol-Durham bull, one of the
finest imported animals in this part
of Texas.
The Poultry Flock.
Among his large poultry flock are
various strains and varieties of pure-
bred chickens and registered Pecan
ducks, a trio of the latter which he
recently had shipped to him from
his old home back in New York
state.
The climax of this story regarding
the animal features mentioned is
reached and concluded with a brief
reference to two special pets of the
colonel, one of which is a young Collie
that he recently brought home with
him from New York and the other
is a surly-iooking bulldog who looks
than the site of Gainesville, is located
the home of Col. Edgar Van Slyke,
surrounded by his hundreds of acres
of pasture and agricultural lands
composing one of the prettiest natural
scenes of undulating lands to be had
anywhere in this country. Then, when
we take into connection with this
charming spot of nature’s own doings,
the fact that on this big aggrega-
tion of acres there are multitudes of
fine livestock, cattle, horses, mules,
hogs, sheep and poultry, mpst of
which stock being purebred, among
them being numerous registered speci-
mens from the finest strains of herds
and flocks known to the best breed-
ers of standard livestock in this
country, is it any wonder that this
reporter, after gazing upon that
scene, designates the big ranch cf
Mr. Van Slyke’s as a “model of its
kind”, a scene of charging and fas-
cinating situations, both natural and
j artificial ?
